Three months in and 20 lbs. down. I'm definitely fine with that. I'm not doing anything fancy, just counting calories. I try to make healthy choices and eat things that keep me full. I don't restrict any foods though because then I crave them like crazy. Funny thing is I eat way less and feel more satisfied with smaller amounts when I go ahead and allow myself to eat whatever I want. I'm weighing and measuring EVERYTHING. The only exception is when we've been away and then I make my best estimate. I don't see any major differences in my appearance but none of my clothes are tight anymore! I probably should have done measurements but... Anyway, this feels like something I can do for the long haul. I have a long way to go but I'm not in a hurry. :)
