Week Four

This week's weight is 180.6. Down another 2.6 lbs. I've lost 7.6 lbs so far. Another 15.5 to get to the top of my goal range. I'm just hoping to get there before summer. My weight is coming down at a pretty good rate right now, but I know that won't last. There will be setbacks and plateaus.

I'm enjoying my success so far, and continuing to take this one day at a time. Counting my calories - trying to average between 1600-1700 per day. Nothing drastic. Doing a little walking for exercise. My back and hip pain have improved dramatically. I am taking about 1/4 of the OTC meds I was taking before. I have read that every pound you lose puts 7 fewer pounds on your joints.
