It's the two week marker, and everything's going good so far. I've been going to the gym three times a week, and playing in a soccer league once a week. I've followed the weight watchers points, but I made sure not to diet this time. I'm looking for things I like, nutrition, and balance, so I get maximum results without feeling deprived.

I just weighed in, set my first mini-goal of 224lbs by the end of the month, and I just went through all my food for the day, so I know what I will eat and when.
