Once I added the 20 minutes to the exercise and I broke out on that first sweat I knew a change had taken place in my metabolism.  After one week of low calorie menus I lost 7 pounds! 

I know it is not a healthy weight loss (too fast), but the good news is its NOT water loss.. I have lost 2 dress sizes from 24 to 20 and about 4.5 inches from my chest area, 4 from my waist and my BMI went from 46.6 to 43.6.

The progress has not only shown in the scale.. it has in the energy department.  I can go all morning without a break, up to 3pm.. after that I still need a break but it is great progress.

I have gone on for 9 weeks and I did take a break on week 7 because I was frustrated. 

I have also started doing bits and pieces of my weight training DVD's.

All in all, a good couple of weeks!
