So on Wednesday morning (Day 10), we weighed and measured ourselves. In only 9 days, I lost 7.0 lbs and Derek lost 9.2 lbs. I think we did pretty good. I was a little bummed that I didn't lose more, but I am PMS-ing (for those of you who wanted to know) and that can add 2 lbs on from the bloating. So that's my excuse anyway. We each lost about an 1/2 - 1 inch on our chest, thighs, arms, and our pants lines. Our natural waist, which is about 1 inch below your belly button, dropped too. Derek lost 1.5 inches and I lost 1.0 inches. We've been working out 5 days a week and I think that had helped the most.
Starting on Wednesday, we get to eat meat. For lunch yesterday we had chicken salads at Applebee's. We went to GF to get stuff for the garage. Turned out to be a not-so-good day and we ended up not getting home until almost 8:30pm. And being that it was too late to have eat a meat-rice-veggie meal, we used our leftovers and made chili egg white omlettes with cheese and black olives. It was pretty good. Today for lunch (since I'm not working) I made hamburgers on our new Goerge Forman Grill. Since we can't have buns yet, we wrapped in leaf lettuce with tomatoes, mustard, and ketchup. It's actually better than you think it'd be. Tonight I'm gonna make a Southwest Chicken Skillet meal with salsa, cheese, and brown rice. Should be pretty good. We'll see, I guess.

Wow, 7 lbs in 9 days ain't bad. Good luck on the rest of it!
Congrats to both of you on the weight loss! The only time I was able to lose that much weight in that amount of time was in November. Although I cheated because I was sick and probably only ate 1000 calories the entire week. :)
that is cheating, Karissa. but fortunatly, when you're sick, you're stomach does shrink so you could maybe jumpstart a diet that way. ;)
thanks for the congrats. i'm pretty excited. i can tell now cuz my clothes fit a little bit different now. but i still don't SEE a difference. that'll take some time, i'm sure.
doug & karissa: are you guys gonna be home next weekend? 15th & 16th? we are probably gonna come down. maybe we could get together or something?
As far as I know we will be home. Although, we are trying to figure out a weekend to take Bellbell to Chuck-E-Cheese with my mom. I'm guessing it won't be next weekend, but we'll let you know.
