Week 2

246 lbs

“It’s not a short term diet. It’s a long term lifestyle change.”

I have lost 3 pounds over the past week.  I am very surprised, as I was not as consistent with exercise as I hoped to be, and we celebrated my husband’s birthday by eating out and having cake one day, then the next, had a homemade dinner of gorditas, beans, rice, and peach cobbler.  I did eat smaller portions than I would normally would. But still… 

I joined Real Appeal for weight loss support and coaching one week ago. It was free through my insurance.

The concept, which I completely agree with, is that diets do not work. They don’t. They may work temporarily, but the weight will come back.  The only thing that truly will work is changing your habits, eating healthier, learning and living with appropriate portion sizes, and learning to like to move. Calories in/Calories out.

Where are you in your journey?
