I am officially jealous. Congrats on your week one accomplishment!!! My first week was water, ice chips and diet snapple, weeks 2 and 3 are 3 protein shakes a day. Weeks 4 and 5 which I will start on Wednesday is 2 shakes and one mushy meal.....can't have soup. At week 6 then that one meal can become solid until I reach my goal.

Thanks everyone. I was a little bummed until I started thinking about it and realized that it's almost 2 pounds PER DAY.

I'm very happy with that loss. My doctor told me that he wants me down to 320 at my visit 2 weeks from today and then down to 292 at my next visit. No idea why he chose those particular numbers but I suspect it had something to do with my BMI because he was looking at the chart when he gave me those numbers.

Wow! Awesome job, lady! I go Wednesday so I'm pumped. Think I will walk alot tomorrow. I'm starting to become a TV junkie during my two weeks off. Not good!
