I really don't want to get discouraged and I know I just started this week, but when will I lose just one pound from walking? I'm just curious when I will actually start seeing a change in my appearance. —tracey7237

From Leslie: SWEET TRACEY! I hear your frustration and I know that this journey to good health can be awfully discouraging at times.
