So now that i'm exercising i really need to get my diet under control. I don't think i eat TOO badly but i haven't really been tracking it on paper so i'm sure i'm probably shoving more than i need to into my mouth.

This has been slowing down my weight loss and i don't want to be wasting my time working out only to sabotage it with food.

So here's the ugly truth: I completed my SECOND week and my scale still did not budge! WTF????
I have to admit that i really did not even want to post this however i want to be as honest as possible and what better place right?
I am really trying not to obsess on that freaking # on the scale but i gotta say it ain't easy! While i have not been super strict with my diet i have been eating better than i have in months so this is really discouraging. After week one i suspected that...
