Update on my diet

July 5th marked one month since I started my diet. It's also the last time I happened to be at the gym to weigh myself. In that first month, I lost 11.5 pounds. I'm quite pleased! It went really fast at first, and then slowed to about 1 to 1.5 pounds per week. Thus, I expect next month's progress to be substantially smaller. But I'm already more than halfway to my target weight of 125 lbs., and that is very encouraging!
