It is not easy getting “back in the saddle”! And I did so well for so very long. I am remembering how great it felt to look good in my clothes, even some older things I had not worn for a while…and to wear a belt again too! I am only about half way back on the program which does not cut it. Need to go full bore here!

I am also back at the beginning after successfully doing this program almost a year and a half ago. Stress from my husband’s cancer and him being in the hospital out of town and other things have been my focus and now that he is in remission, I need to get back with things.

Hello everyone!
I am going to start my second go-round too. Just ordered my drops. I did so well the first time! I started in January of last year and lost 20 pounds before summer and felt great. Kept it off for months but little by little started to slip. My husband has an aggressive cancer and the more he lost, the more I seemed to gain.…[Read more]

Am finding that the weight keeps coming off and must be careful to keep up my calories!!!! It is like the body went into ‘lose’ mode which is something I do not mind at all. Too many years of ‘gain’ mode! But eating healthy makes all the difference! THIS is the weight I was meant to be!

Another good thing about Phase 2 is going to phase 3! And I am wearing belts again! I can tuck in my shirt! So I reached my goal and a little more. I wanted the little more so that when the occasion comes to eat out or something else, I do enjoy the meal and if I am up a pound or two, I “phase 1” it for a couple days and then am back down below…[Read more]

The time is NOW! I started mid-January and down 14 pounds with another 4 to go….and already I can wear some of my old clothes and am super happy about that. Summer is coming and I will not have to be embarrassed by my chubbiness. I am looking forward to Phase 2 and certainly want to hold the line from now until forever!

I use my Fitbit!

Update: I have mentioned about my husband’s eating habits but they may yet change: he has been diagnosed with cancer :(. So that has been the focus of our lives these past weeks. And cancers like sugar and my husband has a big time sweet tooth. He has not bought and eaten a pie lately but did make himself a cake. We meet with a nutritionist…[Read more]

They use a hand held machine. At week 8, I was down 12 pounds and 2% of the body fat.

I think my husband is going a little overboard to show that he is not going to join me in this endeavor of healthy eating. He will buy bags of chips and other snacks and eat the whole bag. We have not had soda pop around for some time and now he is buying 2 liter pops and drinking them! When we have a salad, he drowns it in high fat dressing.…[Read more]

I know I will appreciate the discount on drops, etc. as my first time to reorder is approaching! I just emailed to find out more.

As I mentioned in another post, when I weighed in at Curves, my body fat % was up which was a surprise. I was told to increase proteins and good fats so that the loss will not be coming from muscle.

And, by the way, did you see that cartoon of an avocado looking in the mirror? Yes, there was the chubby avocado saying, “But it is GOOD fat!”

I have been sticking to the plan with only a few days ‘off’ (like the Super Bowl party and a Dinner party) but soon I will be going out of the country for 2 weeks and staying in homes, etc. It will not be possible to follow the plan as I might like to do. After all, when a guest, you eat what is before you! I can probably pass on desserts and…[Read more]

Today was the first time that someone asked if I have lost weight! I was awaiting this day! She said she could see it in my face. Am glad about that; did not really like the chipmunk cheeks!

Thanks, I will check those recipes, Lauren.

Today I took stir fry veggies and then made a 2 egg omelet with them.

It is now a month later; how are things now?

I will find out my % body fat on Saturday at Curves. Hope it is down!
