Monday Weigh In:
279.8 (June 8)
280.9 (June 1)
Well, I did it. Not only did I complete a week and keep at it, but I lost 1.1lbs. I set a two week goal for 2lbs (1lb/week) so I am well on my way to making it. To be honest, I expected to lose a lot more weight. When you do a low carb or an all liquid diet, you tend to lose from 8-15lbs in the first two week. I know most of that is water and not actually fat, but it looks good on the scale and gives you this big mental boost, then you go reward yourself with some food (heheh, or at least that is what I started to do, so I never made it past the two week mark after doing Atkins for the first time).
I honestly didn't feel deprived this week. Sure, I would have like to have drank a two liter of coke every day, like I was doing on some days before I started dieting. I am still having coke, but I poor it into a small glass that I know only holds 1.5 cups, so I know exactly how many calories are in each cup I drink. This makes it easier to write down, and allows me to realize exactly how much I am having and not mindlessly sucking it down.

WTG on the weight loss!!!
Any loss is a victory....and not feeling deprived is so so important to hang in for the long haul.
It's cool that we are about the same weight. You can really relate to what I go through being this heavy. I'm 5' 6", and at one point, I weighed 295. Being at 272 is still very obese, but better than 295!
I actually put my leftover rice in a measuring cup to eat it and am proud of myself LOL.
Keep on going, you are doing great!

Congrats on the weight loss hun every little bit counts. I always say a step in the right direction is worth 5 steps in the wrong. Just keep up the good work, and know that the only way we can fail is if we give up. When I started that was my first goal don't give up no matter what. I wish you so much luck, and I know you have it in you to do this. HUGS keep going...
