Day 2: Food Diary & Fitness

Today is the second day of my weight loss challenge and I am amazed! no, I am SHOCKED!!!

Yesterday I weighed myself and I was 316.2lbs and today, I am 313.6lbs! WOW! While this is probably water weight, I did cut down on my calories to my required daily amount of 2365 cal andlook at what happened! It surprises me because I didn't feel hungry all day, I felt fabulous and although I did snack at night with low fat cereal, I still lost weight, but again, probably water weight BUT what a great start and a good motivator!

Last night I spent an hour and a half updating my profile on Sparkpeople and loading on my food and fitness diaries. It's quite annoying that it takes ages to load the food diary but the best thing is that you can copy the meals to each day of the week and then change items that you didn't eat and insert any extras that you did, plus keep track of your water content, fabulous!

I have found a new trick to control my eating before  a meal. I grab a huge glass of water, drink half of it 10 minutes before I eat and then drink the rest of it while I am having the meal. This controls my appetite and I feel fuller for longer!
