Hello friends!
I know its been a while.....as usual, no excuses. Just busy here! Just wanted to share a quick update with you all on how the 17 day diet is going. I am on Cycle 3 where I get to add in more foods and I can enjoy my 2 carb servings anytime of the day, & not just before 2pm. I will be on C3 until April 20th & I have to say, I LOVE cycle 3!!! Omg!! To have a piece of Trader Joe's sprouted wheat toast again was noting short of DIVINE!!! I went 34 days without a piece of bread or toast and although it was challenging at times, for the most part, it wasn't that bad. The cravings for sweets are pretty much gone and I feel as though my carbs are under control. Its a good feeling. So in a synopsis, I am on day 39 of eating this way and I am down about 12#. It has been a slow process but I have gone from 185.5 to 173.5 (on Saturday). I took my measurements and I have lost about 3" from my belly & waist. I'm pleased with the progress so far & its actually not been bad at all. I'm hoping to be at 169 by the end of April. I think I can do it! I'm ready to be in a size 12!
I'm tired tonight so I am off to get showered and then heading to bed. Just thought I would drop in and say hello.
Hope you are all doing well.... :)
Hugs!!
Sherri
So great Sherri! I'm so glad it's working for you. XO!!
ReplyDeleteYay Sherri!!! I am happy for you:) I know you can do it, especially if you are happy with what you are eating. That's a good weight loss too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice comment! I truly appreciate it. I went shopping today and bought about 8 items of clothing, I am taking all but 2, back. I am just not happy at this weight, but I don't know how badly I want to go down. I have a feeling this is a set point for me. If I could just lose some in my waist I would be OK and not bummed. I guess I could make more of a physical effort! I have DDD boobs so they will never looks small, ugh...getting old is not easy on the old self esteem!
Have a great week and keep up the good work!
Hugs and blessings:)
I was just wondering about you the other day Sherri! I'm glad you posted an update! You are doing so well!! So happy for you!! Do you stay on level three forever now or do you re-cycle?
ReplyDeleteHi Beth! Im on C3 until April 20th...then back to C1 or C2. Its my choice. I love C2 so probably gonna do that for another 17 days.Its a great plan and I feel really good eating this way. :)You should try it. I would venture to bet it would get the scale moving again for you.
DeleteI wish the posts had a like button! I'm sure it feels great to be on an eating plan that you can live with. 12 lbs sounds like a great weight loss for 39 days - that's about 2 lbs a week, right?
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! Yes, about 2# week sounds right.
DeleteWow great job. We are very proud of you. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting... going down in clothing sizes is the best feeling ever!!! So proud of you!
