Trying a Group Weight Loss Program!

So..... despite all the effort, the scale hasn't moved.  And, of course, there was that eye-opening body composition analysis last week that actually said that I've got a whole lot more fat to lose!

So..... last week, I joined a 10-week weight loss program that includes a huge focus on nutrition counseling.  Plus, it does weight loss right by giving out a prize for the person who loses the greatest percentage of body fat over the next 8 weeks.  Not just weight--body fat.  I've been in the program for a week, and the first step was journaling everything. I can already see the difference in the way I'm eating. Because I have to journal everything, I'm not pecking at everything in sight while I cook.  Also, I'm a lot more aware of the fruits and vegetables that I should be eating every day and am pushing myself to get all my fruits and veggies in. The result is that I've focused on what I should be eating, rather than what I shouldn't be eating. I've taken a view that I can eat whatever I want--as long as I first eat what I'm supposed to eat. The result is that I eat all my healthy stuff happily, and then don't crave any junk anyway. 

The first week officially ends tomorrow and I'm going to get weighed to see how I've done.  That's part of the reason that I haven't blogged my weight this week--I'm going to see how I do tomorrow!
