Well, guess what? I lost 7 lbs in one week! I can hardly believe it. Brittany lost 6! I looked at her face as she got on the scale and it shined with disbelief. Then I stepped on. I was so stunned I couldn't even do the math. Never have I managed to do that before...not even when a joined WW so many moons ago.

Our secret...just calorie counting. Haven't changed a thing...didn't go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of diet foods...we have been staying away from carbonated beverages for about three weeks...maybe that has a bit to do with it...not sure. We bough a Brita pitcher about a month ago and have been drinking plenty of water...maybe that helped. But I really think the key is eating just good old-fashioned, regular food and measuring everything we eat.

We are using this site to track our calories, water and activity...the best thing about the whole thing...it doesn't cost us a dime. Calorie Count
I just discovered that you can actually analyze a recipe....by putting in the ingredients. So all of those recipe favorites that I have in my book can now have a number attached to them. That is the key!

Time for me to get busy just thought I'd share my bit of news in bloggy land...I am trying to ignore the weather advisory of freezing rain and snow from tonight through tomorrow...and just focus on my day.

Blessings!
