I don't recommend starting diets on Sunday because generally see the benefit of a "BOOST" day it takes a couple days to see the results. In general making Wednesday or Thursday your official "Weight Tracking" day is the most ideal. But since I'm the most impatient person on the planet and when I decide to do something I often decide to do it immediately I started last Sunday.

Weight 145.6 down officially 2.2 pounds from last week.
