First Official Weigh in!

So yesterday I ended the day with 1358 calories. I emailed with my friend Tracy yesterday who is on wieght watchers and asked her for some of her favorite things. I will be putting a favorite things link to the right of the screen for easy access.

Today I weighed in and I have lost 7.5 pounds, I weigh 253 and that means I have lost 2.87% of my body weight. Woooo Hooooooo! Oh man I need to keep this up I know if I can get half way to my goal I can make it the whole way. I believe my goal is 30% so I have 27.13% to go!

Today:
Shake.............. 279
Tea...................... 0
Snack..................135 (cheese and crackers)

TIP OF THE DAY:
Laugh it off.
When researchers from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, put people into a “metabolic chamber” (a small room that measures heat output in order to calculate a person’s metabolic rate) and showed them funny videos, the subjects’ metabolic rates rose by 10 to 40 calories. It’s a small increase, but every calorie counts for those seeking weight loss, says lead researcher Maciej Buchowksi, PhD.

Lunch:
1 cup of Sara's mom's Chili YUM!.... 228 cal
