Weigh In 4

by

Woohoo! I get to use the 10 pounds down badge! I’m finally getting really excited about all this. :)

And because of that, it’s pretty obvious what my numbers are…

SW: 256 pounds ~ 116 kilos
LW: 250 pounds ~ 113 kilos
CW: 246 pounds ~ 111.5 kilos


Since I started this restricted diet from the naturopath, I have been a bit skeptical about whether I would really get results or not. I’ve been on enough diets in the past and completely switched my eating habits so much to no avail that even the initial loss wasn’t enough for me to get truly excited about this diet.

Now that I’ve lost ten pounds (it’s hard to believe) and have a couple weeks yet before my next appointment, I’m finally feeling like this can really work for me – even in the long term.

Heck, by the time October (and the writing conference I’m going to) comes around, I could be in territory I haven’t been in for years: the 230s.

Even with the good results so far, I’m trying not to set too big of goals for myself. As long as I’m in the right range on my spreadsheet (click here if you don’t know what I’m talking about), I’ll be happy. I would be thrilled to be at 240 or lower by the time I go to the writer’s conference, though.

One thing I should mention is I have been drinking HEAPS of water. While I’m still not keen on the needing the bathroom more often, it’s worth it. I’m still having a bit of trouble with acne and stuff, but I have no doubt it would be much worse without the water.

How is everyone else doing? I’d love to hear from you!
