Well, I am very encouraged after completing my first week! I lost 7.6 lbs. I'm sure a large part of it was water weight, but I really don't care. Haha It's weight, and it certainly gave me a boost in my confidence that I can stick with this one! It was definitely worth missing out on 4th of July food and my birthday cake. I still have about 60lbs to go, so this is definitely just the beginning.
