I have stopped going to my supervised program...it was costly and I've had equal or better success with less costly programs such as WW. It is partially my fault as I refuse to eat a lettuce only (1 cup) meal a day. I want real food!! I have never had an issue with moderately low carb..low fat..low cal...but supplement shakes and lettuce are not for me...I will just resolve to lose this weight maybe a little slower and not feel so deprived. I may return to WW or begin TOPS if I see that I'm stru… Continue

Hey guys! Well..It's been a while since I posted..and yes I hit a plateau for 2 weeks..but I'm down 5 more pounds. It came off when I did a little mini flush aka salads and lots of h2o. I think a lot of it was water weight that I was holding onto (too much sodium and eating out). Chinese food is loaded with sodium, but at the time I thought I was making good choices based on calories. Sometimes, it's just difficult to cook every meal and know exactly what you are putting into your body unfortuna… Continue

I went in for my weigh in and counseling today. My systolic bp has dropped from 136 to 98..I lost nearly 3 pounds but my overall inches lost since I began this program is 28...including 5 inches in my waist!!

The last few weeks have been tough as I have rarely been home and being out in the middle of nowhere with not even a convenience store in sight has been rough. I was surrounded by fair/carnival t… Continue

I'm a little late in this post, but as of Monday, I was down another 3 pounds..a 10 pound loss in 2 weeks. I'm beginning to notice it in my face and waist. I wish I would see it more coming from my hips too lol. I'm one of these strange people that lose the waistline down to small before my thunder thighs and hips ever drop a pound it seems like lol. I guess I need to dust off the eliptical (I'll have to take my winter coats off of it first). I think that I'm going to drink the propel water desp… Continue

Woo hoo!! I couldn't be happier! Things are going well! Strategy is so important...something has to be said for planning ahead. I've always felt like I had a great deal of willpower, but willpower will only take you so far. I make sure that I have plenty of options in the fridge and take things with me when I venture out. Keeping water on hand to sip on throughout the day is a lot better than forcefully chugging it to get my quota in. I've found a few things that the kids actually like that we c… Continue
