Well, I have been at this for two and a half weeks and until last night my scale has remained relatively unchanged. This morning, however, I checked my weight to find that I dropped two pounds over night and am now sitting pretty at 228 lbs. This may not seem like a big deal but after two weeks of being so strict and not seeing any progress on the scale, I was pretty glad to see the weight coming off. That being said, even though I didn't lose pounds I have been losing width. I forgot to get a tape measure to see just where I was last week so I will start the measuring today. At this time my waist measures 44 inches around. Unacceptable! We are shooting for 32-34 inches.
I am interested to know, even though I was doing all I could to kick start the weight loss, why it has taken so long so gradually begin to work. I am going to write in to the Dr. Oz website to find out. He has been such an inspiration with his gradual and healthy weight loss programs. We'll see what they say.
In the meantime I am trying to stay the course and not succumb to temptation which is sometimes harder than others. This week I am taking a partial break from the Strict Week regimen and just trying to stick to my Lists. Even so, I find that I need to make detailed meal plans in order to maintain my discipline. Not necessarily a bad thing, just time-consuming. Let us see how things progress in the next week.
Great job!
