Current weight - 273.4 lbs.

So 2.8 lbs seemed like a lot to lose in a week to me, but I am not complaining.  The doctor said that I should lose about 1 pound per week to do it the right and healthy way.  If you lose weight too quickly, you tend to gain it back very easily.  So I hope that I am not burning it off too quickly.  But the good old formula of diet and exercise is still as successful as ever.  There is no quick and easy weigh to lose weight.  I have been tracking what I eat at http://www.livestrong.com/myplate/.  It makes it very easy to look up just about any food that I can think of.  It covers restaurants and also lets me create my own meals and enter calories manually.  It also lets me track and chart my weight and my fitness activity.  The best part about this online tracker is that it is free.  I feel pretty good right now as I am slowly making some big lifestyle changes when it comes to eating better.
