I'm sooo pleased .. this has been the best weight I've been since I can remember and I know I'm only starting out but it's an encouraging sign.

Angie H Fitness Guru Posts: 718 Angie H I am using the Zone way of eating (www.drsears.com) to attain my target and increase my wellness.	# Posted: 13 Jan 2008 15:19 I checked your graphs out - looks like you know what you're doing! Keep up the good work! Don't get discouraged if the weight loss slows a bit if you're just starting out. It's normal to lose more in the first few weeks.
