Optifast Week 1 Update

October 19, 2010 By Elizabeth

I had my weigh in today at Sparrow Weight Management – I lost…drumroll, please…

4.6 pounds!

Woo hoo!!! When the nurse said I could step off the scale, I jumped up and down, yelled “Yay!”, and did a little dance! I couldn’t believe I had lost that much in 6 days!

They took a “before” picture of me for my chart, but I didn’t take one myself. Since I was the same weight last week as I was at BlogHer, I’m going to use this as my official “before” picture:
