I forgot to post regarding last week's weight loss. I had lost 4 pounds for the week as of Friday.

This week I am trying to drink more water, so I am not sure what the quota for the week will be as I will probably be carrying more water weight. I had gotten out of the habit of drinking water over the last couple months and I am hoping to get it going again, but it will probably mess with numbers for the time being.
