As most weight loss programs can tend to go I have lost a drastic amount in the first little bit. Yes I have had some days were I haven't lost or I have actually gained weight. I have reached my first 10 lbs lost about a week and a half ahead of schedule. My first goal was to be down 10 lbs by August 3rd.
A few set backs I have run into have been purely medical. I ended up having two kidney stones and that kind of wore me out dealing with those. I still have been doing meal replacement shakes for 2 meals a day and for the third meal I try to have something that is low carb. My non shake meal is of course the meal I share with my husband. We like to have burgers, brats, and other types of fun summertime grilling food, but rather than having a carb loaded bun we eat it with lettuce wrapped around it. Sugar and carbs are hard to burn off. The saying fat makes you fat is largely false. Its the carbs and sugars that we find so much of in our American diets that are making use fat. I had a surgeon tell me once that your body can burn off fat a lot easier if you don't have to work off the carbs first.
So far I would say I am doing well. Is it a long journey? Yes!!!!! Is it worth it? Yes!!!!! Do I enjoy feeling good? Yes!!!!!! I look at our daughter and I am motivated and want to make changes so that we are motivated to give her healthy foods and keep her from high sugar, high carb, highly processed food.
Keep checking in! Only 70 more pounds to go!
