Day 18 - Apple Day...

So yesterday I did an apple day because my weight loss just kind of stalled this week and it worked! I lost 2.5 pounds doing it! Im glad to be back over the 20 lb weight loss mark. It is a little frustrating because last friday I beleived myself to be 174.5 but then saturday I got a new scale that put me at 178. I was horrified to say the least but now my NEW scale says 174...so I am happy!

Day 16

well I have been teetering around the same weight all weekend so I am going to make sure I get all my water intake today (I have been slacking on it) and If I don't lose 1 or 2 pounds tomorrow I am going to do an apple day tomorrow. I still feel good, I did my measurements and I have had a 4.5 inch loss on my waist since I started a couple weeks ago. I am comfortably back in size 8 pants. Its getting harder to resist normal food though...I have definately noticed that. Its one thing to resist temptation when you are having huge losses but when you are losing .2 pounds day after day....it gets harder to say no to the yummy foods!

smoothie recipe

A couple people have posted asking for the recipe...it is very simple. You take a handful of fresh strawberries, a handful of ice, put in a blender and blend until creamy and then add stevia until it is sweetened to your liking....its kind of like faux ice cream...its pretty good!! I eat it at night before bed and it seems to be kicking up my metabolism because each day I have done it I have lost 2 pounds the next morning (coincidence....maybe?) I am going to keep it up though...

Day 12 -

I lost another 2 pounds....yah! I dont know if it is making a difference but I have been having a strawberry smoothie about an hour or so before bed the last two nights, which I have had 2 pound losses the next day...Maybe the Ice is speeding up my metabolism or maybe its just a coincidence, who knows. Either way I am excited to be down 19 pounds! So, I am thinking that I am going to have to end this round early. I read you should stop after a 34 pound weight loss or 40 injections...whichever comes first. Does anyone out there have any input on this? I mean I dont WANT to end early if I will continue to lose weight but if it is gonna screw things up for me to lose too much weight in the first round I will follow the protocol and end early. I am only on Day 12 so I will most certainly pass the 34 pound mark since I skip one injection a week and have 34 more days to go. I am averaging over 1.5 pounds a day....what to do what to do??

Day Eleven

Another 2 pound loss brings me to the 170's which I havent been in for like 3 years! So I have lost a total of 17 pounds in Eleven days! That is amazing. My best friend and I can't stop talking about how amazing this diet is and how we want to just run up to fat people and tell them about it...but you can't exactly do that without risking injury. lol. I started taking Magnesium and slept good last night for the first time in a week. Another 5 pounds or so and my pants officially will no longer fit. yipee!

Day 10

I have officially lost 15 pounds! last wednesday I weighed 195.5 and today I weigh 180.5 I cant beleive I am getting ready to be in the 170's its been awhile since I have been there. My pants fit so much better, I cant wait to start actually dropping sizes though. No one has noticed my weight loss though, if they have they havent mentioned it. I am glad Tara is doing this with me otherwise I would have no one to complain to. I discovered Taco salad last night (Thank god) I dont think I could force down another piece of chicken this week lol

Day 5

I lost another 2.5 pounds so that is a total of 7 so far this week! I am happy about that. I had some issues last night...I had a mental collapse when I was grating cheese for dinner for my family. I ended up dropping the cheese right on the counter and running out of the room until I could get past the urge to eat it. It sucked. I realized how much food has control over my life. I am proud of myself for sticking to this diet...day three now. I havent had soda since Sunday and its amazing because I am a diet coke ADDICT. I couldnt even imagine going 5 hours without one, let alone 5 days.
