Weigh in #5

Wow! I have lost 30.7 pounds! I am rounding it up to 31. I now weigh 305. Only 6 more pounds and I am back in the 2's! Can't believe it!

I have had some ups and downs...like not planning and being ravenous! I haven't cheated....except for a few tiny pieces of gouda cheese and a bite of a hard-boiled egg! I actually find if I don't stay on schedule I end up running out of hours to eat ALL the food I a supposed to. Funny...I can't fit IN the food! I have been really focused on staying on program. I still can't believe that 35 days ago I was so much heavier! I feel so much better. I can tie my shoes without having to get on the bed and let my feet be closer to me! I can bend over and not be out of breath! I sleep better. My clothes look pretty crappy...but I am waiting to lose 50 lbs. before I go and buy more clothes. Only 19 more pounds before then.

Happy Happy Happy!

Weigh-In #4 1 Month gone!

Wow! I have lost 27.5 pounds in one month on Medifast! I am so happy and actually amazed that I have stayed on program the whole time. I really don't have much desire to eat the junk I used to eat! That is a victory in itself. Some days I could, but most of the time...not interested.

I am feeling great! I can move better....my clothes feel better....people are noticing the change...i can walk farther without foot pain! The positives are many.

Way to go Me!

Down 27.5 pounds!

Weigh-In #3

Woohoo! I have lost 22.9 pounds since starting Medifast!

Lost 1 1/4 inches from my waist . I feel great! Sleeping better...moving better! It is awesome!

Got some new bars-s'mores and caramel crunch-delicious. Parmesan puffs are yum as well.

Watching my portions more carefully...gonna break the 25 pound mark next week!

Onward and upward!

Mother's Day

I am Hungry today. I want to eat all sorts of carbs....sugar, bread. I smelled the bread bag again today. I realize how much food and holidays are tied together in my life. On an ordinary Mother's Day...our menu would have been something like this: Steaks, potato salad, homemade rolls, butter and jam and some dessert...chocolate peanut butter cake or strawberry pie. Today's menu: 5 oz. hamburger and 1 1/2 c. cooked asparagus for lunch/dinner. I will eat my medifast bar, pretzels and shake to round out my day. I already had a shake for breakfast and a bar for snack. I weighed today and am down to 314.2. I have lost 21.5 pounds in 18 days. Wow! That is so great! I am feeling sorry for myself I know....when I look at the pounds in writing...i am motivated to keep going. It has just been harder this last couple of days. I am out of my favorites....that is part of the problem. My new shipment of food should be coming soon!

They gave out See's candy bars for Mother's Day today at church...I bit of the very corner and gave it to Monte. It wasn't even that good! Yay!

Onward and Upward!

Weigh-in 2

Today was my weigh-in day! I have lost 20.2 pounds since starting Medifast!
Woohoo! I hopefully can continue to lose consistently. I have been on program 100%...not deviated at all! I am proud of that. I have got to drink more water...I suck at it! I will try again today. I have lost one of my chins! and the remaining one is a lot smaller~Shane noticed that for me! I am getting a new shipment of food soon..which is good as I am down to a few things that i don't care for. Chocolate is a good choice for shakes...strawberry, banana, orange....yuck! They all taste like those weird "circus peanut" candies smell! And you really can't doctor them either!

So...down 20.2

Day 11

Ugh! I woke up with a headache today...! I wondered why last week I had some cravings for chocolate, etc. Duh! I started my period.....again! But...I made it through the cravings and have not strayed from program at all! Not once! I did smell the bread bag again...but I didn't indulge. My mindset has changed so much...I really think this is going to work for me! I am really never hungry and if I am...I know I will get to eat soon. It is pretty awesome.
Just wish the headache would go away!

I'm gonna go have another drink of water~
