I pushed myself hard this week. I really want to break that 220 mark! I didn't eat any of my exercise points and I exercised almost double. I have been studying the food guide pyramid and have been making my food choices based on that. I am loving vegetables more and more. In fact, I've started craving them. We went out to eat this week and I got this vegetable sandwich that was to die for! It was incredible. Anyways, I was so excited that I got on the scale a day early just to see the weight loss progress. My weight hadn't change one single ounce. I was so mad, sad and disappointed. All day long I just wanted to eat ice cream and chocolate. I wanted to give up and felt like I was never going to reach my weight goal. But I fought the ice cream and chocolate urge, ran my frustration out on the treadmill and make a peach smoothie to try and curb my lust for ice cream. And then, when I got on the scale this morning, the same time and everything the same as the morning before - I WAS TWO POUNDS LESS! I am so proud of myself for not giving in! I am sooooo happy! It may only be two pounds and I still have so much left to go, but I didn't give up and I didn't give in and it worked!!

221.2 lb Lost so far: 16.6 lb.    Still to go: 81.2 lb.    Diet followed 100%.
