I need to improve my diet. One pound loss in the last two weeks. I am used to eating way too much, so counting calories is a challenge. My goal will be to eat at 1,400 calories daily this next week without any big "cheat" meals. I can only control intake at this time, as activity is out because of my knee pain and swelling. I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow, so hopefully find out what's going on. It took me four years to gain this 100 pounds, so I know this will take time to lose. That is why I have a modest goal of 6 pounds loss per month. Still, 1 pound in two weeks will not get this done! I am still working on my night time munching....that is when I consume 2/3 of my daily calories. I have this really bad habit of keeping saltine crackers at my bedside and eating those late at night. I am out of crackers now, and not buying more anytime soon. One day at a time and I will succeed.
