My first goal is get to about 160. I am just kinda counting calories keep it about 1500. Eating more fruits and veggies, switched things like white rice to brown rice, white bread to whole grain, not that I eat that much of either. White pasta to whole grain pasta. I try to limit pasta to about 1 time a week, it use to be several times a week. Stopped going out to eat, went from weekly to maybe once a month. I have refused to 'diet' anymore. I just make the healthiest choice I can one decision at a time. If there is a situation that I cant make a healthy choice, I don't sweat it. It wasn't the occasional unhealthy meal that made me fat, it was a whole bunch of them all the time. Like Monday my DH and I had a motorcycle ride with several people from our church, the plan was to meet at Denny's for breakfast. I could have ordered a veggie omelet but instead I got my all time fav, Moons Over My Hammy(about 1200cals). It had been about a year since I had eaten at a Denny's and it had been weeks since I had eaten out so I enjoyed it. We rode through lunch, and at dinner I still wasn't hungry but I ate about 200cals or so in cereal and pudding. The funny part, I dropped another pound on the scale the AM...lol
I have tried so many 'diet' plans and I always fail. BUT Not this time. I cant tell myself that I cant eat something because the little voice in my head says "yes you can, watch this"...lol my husband laughs at me and says "so noone can tell you what to do, not even you?" I am too rebellious for my own good. Oh and I have started baking frying using whole wheat flour. its better that the white stuff. OK, Have I rambled enough....lol

But you're definitely on the right track! Good job on the 1st week though, keep it up! My biggest problem is fitting in excercise, still trying to work that one in.
