Me too!

I think it will be fun to share stories and tips. Plus I'm looking forward to seeing how many total pounds we can lose as a group.

And even sometimes when you don't

We did some shopping at the grocery store.

It ticks me off that it costs so much more to eat real, healthy food than it does processed stuff.

I went today to get an Amy's Pesto Pizza from the supermarket.

First, it's a crazy small pizza, maybe 10 inch. Second, it's got almost no toppings. Pesto, very little cheese, some spinach and five slices of tomato.

It's very low fat, low cal. The whole pizza is 875 calories and about 20 grams of fat.

But it's NINE BUCKS! for a pizza that weighs less than a can of soda!

They charge more just because it's healthy. ridiculous.

I didn't get it. I couldn't pay that much for such a cheaply made pizza. I swear it weighs about one fourth of what a typical frozen pizza weighs. There's just no value in it at that price.

I've actually got quite a few low-fat recipes I'll blog about as we go on. Some really awesome tasting meals that are low cal and low fat.

I did buy a California Kitchens pizza. It's pretty good, made with spinach and garlic, with Fontina, Romano, Parmesan and mozzerella cheese (lightly of course).

it's a 12" pizza, and if you have half of it it's only about 440 calories and 16 grams of fat.

That's usually $8, but they were on sale 2 for $12.

That's what I do. I hate it reheated. So I got a big knife I use to cut it in two and only bake half.

Reheated pizza I'd rather eat it cold.

After my fattening dinner, I've already started tonight.  I've been drinking Diet Coke tonight and haven't once visited the fridge or cupboards. 

Today's the day we begin our 25 weeks for a healthier us!!!!!  

Just sent Web my fist weight, which is already 23 pounds lower than two weeks ago when I first decided to start my healthy lifestyle, so bring it on.

yeah but just shows how much I have to lose!!

Man, I'm already starting out on the wrong foot, I still don't have my weigh in.

I had to find a new scale. I figured Kroger or CVS would have a cheap one. The only one I found was $60!

So I finally bought a new scale today. I took the battery that we had bought for the old scale, never been used, and put it in the new scale. The new scale doesn't work. It's been the battery the whole time! So now, I likely have two working, nearly identical scales, and no battery to go in either one.

So, my weigh in is going to be a day late.

I've heard that you weigh more at night than you do in the morning.....I don't know how much truth there is to it though.
