Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on December 30, 2015

Today is Day 3 of my diet, & I'm still going strong. WOOHOO!!! I got on the scale this morning, & I weighed in at 236.4 pounds!!! That's another 2 pounds baby!!! I'M GOING DOWN, DOWN, DOWN!!! :-)

For lunch, I ate chili bean soup, and for dinner I ate a sandwich on toasted honey wheat bread (slice of turkey salami, turkey bologna, turkey ham, & white turkey breast & mayo). It was SOOO SOOO GOOD!!! I decided to increase my bites to 10 bites for lunch and 10 bites for dinner because I was kinda hungry last night. I figured 20 bites couldn't hurt!!! LOL!!!

I have been coughing like crazy today, so I went to Walgreens & bought some cough medicine & Riccola cough drops. I've eaten a lot of them, & I hope that doesn't affect my weight in the AM. I shall see..... Still feeling good everybody!!! :-)

Now, I'm getting ready to drink a 20-oz cup of tea with lemon. KITCHEN IS CLOSED!!! (Gonna say it daily to help keep me focused.) Have a good evening Everybody!!! :-)

DAY 1 - 12/28/15 - 240.8

DAY 2 - 12/29/15 - 238.4

DAY 3 - 12/30/15 - 236.4

http://80bites.themethodpilates.com/the-planThey recommend 80 bites per day. For that you'd almost need a clicker at first. I do believe I have even even some kind of fork with a counter built-in on Amazon. Too gadget-y for me. The program used to be $60, now it's free. If you want the app or individualized coaching, it costs.

Thanks Michael!!! I saw that plan last night. It definitely is more doable than five bites twice a day, but I can't get with the clicking each time I take a bite of something. That would end up stressing me out in the end!!! LOL!!! I'm gonna stick with what's working for me. Also, instead of having five bites per meal, I'm gonna do ten. I didn't feel hungry when I ate that way today. And whenever I eat a salad, I'm not gonna include that with my regular bites since the calories are so low. Thanks for sharing!!! Happy New Year!!! :-)

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, Adrienne. Glad to hear of your FANTASTIC progress on the scale though! Keep up the good work!!! I began a new weight-loss program through my health insurance today called Virtual Lifestyle Management (VLM). It's a one-year program geared toward helping me to eat healthier and work out at least 2-1/2 hours per week (for people who are Diabetics or to prevent you from becoming a Diabetic). The goal is to initially help you to lose 7% of your body weight, then to help you to lose more as needed (by losing 1-2 lbs/week). You are assigned a coach, who works with you throughout your journey. After the year is up, the goal is to have helped you establish healthy habits, which you will maintain as a lifestyle. We are assigned Lessons (on the computer) each week, which we use as tools on our weight-loss journeys. I'm a little apprehensive about having to keep track of the foods (fat), which I eat because this way, I KNOW I'll have to eat right!!! My beginning weight is 156 lbs and my ULTIMATE goal weight is 134 lbs. I didn't make it this year, so I will set my sights on 2016!!! Wish me luck!
