One week down

I am one week into my new life. The hardest week I have ever had, but I have a feeling there are more to come. I adhered to a strict 1800 calorie low fat diet and got at least an hour of exercise a day. One week weight loss: 12.2 lbs.  I am floored by this amount of weight loss. I know the next few weeks are not going to be this high. I am just looking forward to getting closer to my 10% goal and starting to feel healthier. My clothes already fit better. I am going to keep trucking along!
