Wednesday Weigh In

Yay, twohobbies and ruthbru!

Up 200 grams. Need to lose before going off on vacation. I will stop eating chocolates starting tomorrow. Yes, I will, even if they are good for me.

Down 2 lbs. I guess regular exercise really does help. And I don't think I logged last week :-)

Congrats to the losers! You inspire me! The struggle goes on for me but I am not giving up.

Sounds like most of us had a good week. Hang in there everyone. Heidi I just bought some cocoa dusted almonds. 7 grams of carbs so not too bad. Slightly sweet but no, not as good as chocolate covered. I'll try to ease into a few more carbs slowly. I want to continue this diet but have a little fruit next week.

Patoo, I found these lectures on YouTube by Dr Jason Fung when my husband fell into the pre diabetic range. He believes you can reverse diabetes. He uses intermittent fasting In addition to low carb. You can google him if you're interested. Thatsone reason I started this two week challenge to give my husband support to get this under control now.

Patoo, I had a client who had type 2 and ended up on insulin. He started going to the gym and watching his diet. He ended up being able to stop insulin and go back to pills. I think he kept it up and eventually didn't need meds. I was super impressed with his achievement.

Re-weighed today and got 134.5. Much more believable than yesterday.

So true , Ruth. Mine happens by Mexident. We went off our diet last night to celebrate an early Valentine's Day at our favorite Mexican restaurant. I intend to get back on the program today since I don't want to lose my progress

down .2. I am on vacation again next week so I imagine I will be losing the same couple pounds over and over again!

Hi ladies. I also did not get a chance to post. I gained 1.5 lbs since last Wednesday which was an all time low. As I mentioned we celebrated Valentines Day and now I've been good for almost a week and I'm the same every day. So in my two week challenge overall I managed to lose 4.6 lbs. I will continue on and see if I resume any weight loss.

At least I can say I lost my Fourth of July lbs which is why I rejoined here and have settled two lbs lower than my previous set point. I'll take every hard earned lb.

Hi Carole, looks like we have similar stats. I was at 175 and over the last year am down 10. My goal is also 155, at least initially since I'm only 5'1" tall!

I am familiar with WW and think it's a good program too. I've been using MyFitnessPal.com.

Think it's Wednesday. Up .2 (164.6) from last week but back on track with my eating so should see better results next week.

Well, I weigh something between 13lbs and 147.5. They are sending us a new scale. I'll report next week if we get the scale and it seems to work.

Well, I've lost several pounds, but it's because I have pneumonia. Definitely not a weight loss tactic I would recommend.

Thanks, Wren. I just ate a small snack of Jelly Beans, so maybe I am on the mend!

Thanks, ladies!
