The first week of this little experiment called One Step at a Time drew to a close on Sunday and I found myself as excited as a kid at Christmas over the thought of the Monday morning weigh-in. As if I don't have enough problems getting to sleep, here I was all charged up with anticipation. Well, the results are now in and here is each member's progress from the first week.

I am so happy that everyone posted a loss. Bruce is on vacation this week so his results were unavailable but I am sure that he probably lost as well. Give yourself a sincere pat on the back because we have all taken that first step.
Now I would like you all to start thinking about your next small step. Set a reasonable goal or goals for this week. Maybe something like;
• I’ll drink 2 additional bottles of water a day this week.
• I’ll try to walk or exercise one more time this week.
• I’ll make my lunch tonight, for tomorrow, during the commercials.
• I’ll find a healthy alternative to my favorite snack.
I am sure that we all can come up with something that will be helpful. Put it in writing and stick it on your refrigerator or computer screen so you can see it.
Kudos to the whole group for this week’s effort. I soon will be handing out those prizes that Jennifer donated to this week’s Biggest Losers.
