OK....reality check.....need to lose 13 pounds.
Had DH take my photo and I let it all hang out....and boy did it hang!

I taped the photo up where I can see it.

5'4 1/2" and weigh 138. Goal: 125 pounds.

Day 1: 2/3/07
Fasted...nothing but water, diet tea & decaf coffee all day.

Day 2: 2/4/07 - Weight: 135....down 3#....

Plan on fasting one more day....hopefully will drop another couple of pounds.
I feel I need to "jumpstart" the weight loss by doing this and I actually feel pretty fantastic when I fast every once in a while.

Starting tomorrow, I will add in protein.....but try to stay as close to 0 carbs as possible. Then gradually add in 5 carbs until I reach my goal.
Is reaching 125 by the end of the month unrealistic? I have no patience!

Joannew · 02-05-2007, 05:04 AM

132# - 6# lost over the weekend....pretty much water....but who cares!!!

Day 3.
Protein only, under 5 carbs for the next 3 days.

I am determined. I will do this. If I keep going, I can hit 128 by 2/10, then its 3 more pounds.

Joannew · 03-17-2007, 07:35 AM

All my hard work....down the tube.

Just can't seem to stay on track! What the heck is wrong with me?
I am going to write down everything I eat from now on.
Started PSMF yesterday (protein sparing modified fast) pretty much zero carbs. Staying on that until I lose 10#....Goal is by April 1st. Going to try to stay off the scale until then...TRY is the operative word here...I'm a scale addict.

3/16/07
Breakfast: egg salad(just a dab of mayo)
Lunch & supper were combined: 10 meatballs & egg salad . (this was bad.....need to eat smaller meals instead of a huge one)

3/17/07
Breakfast: 3 meatballs & 4 oz. cheese
not sure for lunch & supper

Joannew · 03-18-2007, 09:26 AM

Stayed OP yesterday. Was hungry all day long. Made deviled eggs to snack on & drank lots of water.

3/18/07 Breakfast: 3 eggs, 1 oz. cheese.

Going to try to cut down on the cheese today.

Here's to another OP day. Today is #3 of no cheating. 13 days left!

I can do this!
I can do this!
I can do this!

I WANT THIS FAT OFF MY BODY!
