I have pm'd you meanmom.
I did VERY well this month. I stuck to my new eating plan and have exercised every nice day that I could. All I can say is, I probably wouldn't have done as well if I had a full time job. My new eating plan seems to take all my time. I sure hope as I go along, I can get things planned ahead so that it will continue to work for me when I go back to work. I feel like loosing weight is a full time job. I struggled a bit with cravings the last couple of days of the month. But, I really fought them off and did not break my plan. Thank goodness for the calorie counter on my phone. It is helping to keep me in line.
I know I haven't even reached my real struggles yet. Usually the last 25 lbs are the hardest to loose for me. But, I think because I need to loose so much it is coming off faster at the moment.
I have not had weight loss surgery. I am only following the plan by Isabel De Los Rios. Her eating plan is very much lite the Atkins diet. And, I had to tweak a few things to make it more affordable to my budget. I am so relieved that it is working for me.
