Good luck going forward -- the best thing to do is stay off the scale until the end of induction then only weigh once a week or every other week on the same day. Once you are finished with the first 2 weeks your weight loss will slow down so make sure you've taken your measurements so you'll know you are loosing inches as well as pounds.

Great job! I am in the beginning too, with the same stats and goals as you roughly. And you just feel so much better after those first few days too, don't you?

I love this post! I can feel the enthusiasm jumping right off my computer screen and it just makes me smile! Bottle that and hide it away in a safe place where you can pull it out and draw from it whenever you need it.

You're totally on your way!
