Becky, I have a total of 100 pounds to lose. If I looked at weight I would overwhelm myself before even starting!! However, my cholesterol and triglycerides are also very high. My doctor said losing 5%-10% weight would help those numbers tremendously. And eating healthy is also going to help. No more fast food, pizza or Chinese. I’m going to check these levels again in a couple of months and see how I progressed in terms of HEALTH. I also have aches and pains related to carrying around the extra pounds. My feet hurt, my knees hurt. I hate walking because it tends to make me ache. These are some other measures of success that I will be looking at. I don’t need numbers on a scale to tell me I can walk farther than before.
Diet doesn't have to be boring
