got a workout partner!!!

so just recently i have started working with someone new and told her how i was working to incorporate healthy eating and excercise into my everyday life… i told her how i had been working out at home with dvds and walking and when i worked overnights i worked out in my downtime and she told me about her struggle with weight loss and we both decided we would start working out together and support each other so she calls me when a craving hits or she feels unmotivated and vice versa and its a great system so far. We have found some fun ways to be physically active like taking our kids swimming and running relay races with the kids…in other news i was supposed to weigh in on the 13 but i have been so busy with work and kids and homelife but i stepped on the scale today and i am down to 239 which is a 4 pound drop since the 6th and that makes 16 pounds all together i feel great

wow!!!

oh my goodness so i went to see my weight loss consultant today and weighed in and i was so shocked… i lost 12 pounds in 7 days…is that even possible i guess it is cuz i did… however then my consultant told me that i should only be losing 1-3 pounds a week. she said it is not healthy to lose that much that fast… i dont know why i lost so much so fast i even weighed in after breakfast. I havent been doing anything drastic just walking an hour in the morning with my son and an hour in the evening with my son and about 30 minutes of excercise video a day and i have been eating about 1600 calories a day compared to the over 3000 i used to consume.. should i not walk as much or eat more… i mean i feel good i dont feel over exerted or starved i feel really good..i have a little more energy and a better more positive attitude…im just a little confused…i didnt know you could lose too much weight too quickly or how to lose a healthy amount of weight….anyone have any ideas?
