The long journey of weight loss - UPDATE

Here are my results going into week 4:
Week 1 - weight 160.2
Week 2 - weight 156.6, down 3.6lbs
Week 3 - weight 154.0, down 2.6lbs
Week 4 - weight 153.8, down .02lbs
Week 5 - weight 152.8, down 1.0lbs
Week 6 - weight 150.6, down 2.2lbs
Week 7 - weight 148.2, down 2.4lbs

Total of 12lbs lost!!! I am soo proud of myself. This has been really difficult, but a very good friend of mine is doing this with me, so we have each other to lean on when times get difficult. I've learned to eat the right way; balancing my food portions and cutting waaayyy back on sweets and sodas and yes, liquor(except the bottle of wine on my birthday). I can definitely tell a difference in the way my body looks; with and without clothes. I've dropped in sizes, I'm somewhere between a 6 and a 4 now. I'm working out a lot more now, which is good because my energy level has gone way up. I feel like I've accomplished something big - I set out 7 weeks ago to do this and I haven't quit. Now, I've had my share of bad days...days that I ate food I knew I shouldn't have, or portions that I knew were too much. The thing with that is that when I eat bad food now, my body lets me know it; and it doesn't taste as good as it used to.

I'm sticking with this and I will continue to periodically update my status.
