Happy April!

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!!

  2. Yay 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!

    Thank 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:)

    1. Hi 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.

  4. I 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?
