Well I am down 3 lbs. in a week.  I guess I should be happy, but I know that first part you lose is usually water weight so I am a bit skeptical.  I have been exercisiing every night and eating healthy. We shall see how it goes this next week.  I only need to lose 7.5 for this diet bet and they say if you stick something out for 30 days it becomes much easier so it should be a win win situation.  I am still craving sweets but have been very good about not cheating.  My husband is doing this with me and of course he is losing quicker...why is it so much easier for men!   My daugher is doing great and in her 2nd trimester!  I still can't believe I am going to be a grandma!  That is what motivates me!  My mom is 79 and she looks great.  I want to be like that!
