3 weeks into this. Had "girly time" last week and was up a lb., but I checked today...just to see...and I lost it plus some. So I'm hoping that on Thurs. it will show!
I made a "stunning" realization last weekend. It was 4th of July, and there was a LOT of food. Tons. I did the best I could, but still made some bad choices (though getting better). I checked my calorie consumption when I got home, and surprisingly - though I did go over my weight loss calorie amt. - I never went over my maintenance calories. So I didn't eat enough to actually GAIN weight, just not enough to lose at the rate I am aiming for.
This was a revelation to me because...well...before I decided to take charge, as it were, I always beat myself up over overeating/going over my "allotment" This time, I didn't. I feel a lot better about myself and my eating habits!
Being accountable to myself has been interesting. I've done a lot more than I thought without paying someone $X/month to MAKE me accountable. I don't need to rely on anyone to do this.
I've decided on my 1st goal: 155lb. This will be lower than I have EVER been in my adult life. 19.2 lb. to go :)
