...in the month of January, I lost 27 pounds according to the last weigh-in.
The entire month was not spent on South Beach, but I was dieting the entire time. Much of it may be water weight, since I'm sure I had a great deal of flushin' to do.
I found a newfound enjoyment of plain vegetables not swimming in butter. I've made breakfast a necessity. I actually cook (although last night I made banana walnut bean muffins which were almost certainly a crime against nature). I take the time to enjoy food (not bean muffins).
Yup, I'd say January went okay.
