Too Much Fiber....
Oh Lord, is NOT a good thing.  Anybody else ever consume an excess of fiber in their diet?  And can relate?  I've been trying to incorporate more, but did not realize I had gone overboard.  Um, yeah...that's all I will say about that.

So, Mike and I started doing Weight Watchers together a little over a week ago.  It's been good to have accountability partners in each other (not to mention I am not buying as much junk for him that would typically tempt me).  We're not paying any money for meetings, or anything.  I have many materials from when I was a member previously and the internet is full of information.  Mike was clueless to the "points" aspect in the beginning and (jokingly) would say that he'll score higher than me at the end of the day...will get more points, which is not a good thing, ha!  It's been an adjustment for him, but he's not as much of a snacker as I am, anyway.  Early on he complained about being able to see his ribs and feeling like he's wasting away...can you say DRAMATIC?!

So, when we weighed in on Monday morning after the 1st week, Mike had lost 7 pounds and I was down 4.5 (Hey, that 1/2 pound counts!!).  We're not comparing weight loss...his metabolism is much higher than mine and well, just can't compare men-women in this area.  Wish us luck!  We need all of the motivation and support we can get.  Although doing it together is truly helping me be more successful than when I attempted on my own.  I have poor self-control!!
