I SHOULD GET PAID FOR SAYING THIS

A bunch of our friends made New Year's resolutions to lose weight, like most of us do. But they were trying something different...The Daily Plate. I absolutely loathe counting calories and measuring food, and in the past, I've been able to lose weight by just watching more of what I eat and exercising a little more. But for the last 3 months, I had been stuck at the 10 pound mark; I just could not lose that last 10 lbs of baby weight and it was really frustrating. Tired of being uncomfortable and unhappy with my body, I thought I'd give the daily plate a try. Within days, I was hooked! And after the first week, I had lost 3 pounds! I hadn't lost any weight for over 2 months, and now, in just one week, I had lost 3 pounds! Needless to say, I was addicted...and the next week I lost 2 more pounds (ask me again in 3 days and I'll tell you how much I lost this week :).

The best thing about it is that it's not really a diet. I still eat what I want to eat. But now, just being aware of what I'm eating and how many calories it has, makes me make better choices in what I eat and how much of it I eat as well. It's been great!

So then, after seeing my progress, and a lot of prodding from me (I did the whole first day for him), Bryce got started. It's crazy how easy it is to get hooked so fast! Bryce started on Saturday, and by Monday, he was totally sucked in. He was even telling me yesterday how it's crazy, but when you feel good physically and you're taking care of yourself, it spills into other parts of your life, you know. Like you feel like you want to be more productive with your time and be doing and thinking good things. It really does have a holistic effect. And today was the one week mark for Bryce and guess what - he lost 3 pounds! I'm telling you, it really works!
