Pound for pound

The nutrisystem program seems to be working. This is my 8th day on the program and I've lost 7 lbs. I realize the amount I drop week after week will slow but it is definitely encouraging. Hopefully by the end of this month I'll be able to be in the 190s. That will be a first in probably 6-7 years.

Although I'm hungry a lot of the time I don't feel I've been starving myself. Just before, when I got the urge for hunger I'd immediately overfill it. Now if i'm hungry I just drink water. Also one week in I haven't given into any temptations. At the office here they had pizza, candy for halloween, and other goodies and I've avoided completely. Also Jacki and I have been trying to enjoy things when we go out. I've had a couple of beers this past week, for business meetings, and enjoyed a couple of meals outside of the nutrisystem program.

So far so good. I anticipate I'll have to be on this program at least 90-120 days and then I will need to shift to non-nutrisystem food as part of a lifestyle change.
