WEEK 6

Weighed in at 200.2lbs Wednesday the 23rd thats a total loss of 18.8 in 6 weeks. AMAZING! Also a loss of like 15inches all over! I took recent pictures, I'm so excited, i feel like I float sometimes!!
Turkey day wasn't as stressful as I thought it would be, Lana, my nutritionist really helped me/us prepare for the event. I was up on the scale about a pound Friday morning but I wasn't ashamed or sad because I knew I did really well with all the temptations. Also I did get to have a sliver of pumpkin pie and a bloody mary and that was just fine for me.
Today I exercised 20 minutes at 3mph on the treadmill. Stuck to strictly high protein. Cleaned bathroom, living room and have been doing laundry! Man I am in it to win it this time for sure and I honestly would not be able to do this without the support of my husband. He attended my meeting last wed with me and is down 30lbs! LOVE HIM!

Sunday Is Not a Funday!

Today was just a yucky day. I felt bloated and FAT today. I was up two pounds on the scale this am. However I had such bad pain in my left ovary last night that I think there must be some relation. I drank 100oz plus of liquid, had all my protein and I weigh exactly what I did this am which means I am back down to where I was. What a mess!
This is not easy! Not easy at all :(

Body Stats Week 4:

WHAT-- Week Two

Week two I gained back either 2 veggies or 1 fruit and 1 veggie in addition to my other list in week one.
I have become addicted to iced green and black tea at Starbucks with splenda or stevia.
I opted to eat more of the 2 veggies because the fruit made me crave sweets and that was not an option...sweets that is :(
When I said "emotions" in my first post this is what I meant
I felt lighter on my feet
I cried on my couch at night
I became the world biggest bitch with the shortest fuse
I would text my what I call body coach, she is a friend that did Medi and just sound crazy
I slept like a baby
I was never hungry but I was bored, food and coffee were always a social aspect of my life.

Turns out when they add veggies to 500 calories of protein and you take all those vitamins etc you are actually stuffed.

Weigh in Loss-- .5lbs ------------WHAT??? I sobbed, I cried like I had just lost my best friend I'm not gonna lie I was pathetic but with reason.. I had worked my ass off, not cheated one freakin ounce, nothing bad even sounded good so why in the hell only .5lbs.

Heres why: I didn't consume all my protein...OOPS! I told you it was a lot of food and well I was always full, heck I could eat veggies for dinner turns out thats not good to do :(
I have to eat all 500-600(now) calories of protein plus one or two veggies PLUS a healthy fat!
Needless to say I am now pushing protein shakes with almond milk for 164 calories.

Heres to week three! I am not quitting! I will succeed!
Side note: The husband has been my teammate and has lost almost 20lbs to date. Go Mr. Texas aka Russell

WoW--Week One

Things I got during week one
500 calories of high protein a day (chicken, fish, lean red meat)
plus sugar free (SF) jello
cottage cheese 1%
Tea
Chicken broth low sodium
Powerade Zero
Greek Yogurt plain
Crystal Light
I also take a vitamin, a calcium, a herbal appetite suppressant and a fat burner throughout the day.

Things I did NOT get
STARBUCKS!
There were plenty other things I didn't get because I could ONLY eat the above list but i had the hardest time giving up my STARBUCKS. Pretty sure the withdrawls were similar to the withdrawls crack heads get in rehab! It was horrible and had I not invested MY money and MY time I would have said FU Medi!

Week One Loss----- 9.2lbs! Eat it WW! LOL! I felt amazing!

Taking the Plunge at Whatever the Cost

I decided when I turned 30 years old on October 9th that 30 was gonna be what I now call "My Turn Around Age" and it is just that.
I was done having children and very happy with the family I had/have..in fact I could be any happier in this life day to day but ONLY if we factored out being fat, obese.... no wait...morbidly obese said my obgyn doc.
With that label I refused to live round, plump, jiggly all over any longer!
I had done my research on diets(member of WW 3 times), weight-loss surgeries etc. It wasn't until I had seen 3 people in person lose weight and keep it off. After talking with them I learned lots about Medi Weightloss Clinic...so I took the plunge.
I paid 240.00 for my first visit and I pay 70.00 a week until goal HOWEVER for once in my life this money wasn't hard to spend because I knew the outcome. I knew the results were amazing, because remember I had seen it with my own eyes not once but in three different people.
So I sat down and talked to my husband seriously about it because even though the money isn't hard to pay towards this it intially was and very worth a sit down conversation. After learning the husband supported me (duh, he is my best friend) I decided to make the first appointment. I am not gonna tell you all about Medi--that's why I posted their link above but I will allow you in on this amazingly emotional in every way ---new world.
