Okay, it’s a bit weird but I haven’t lost any more weight (because I keep shooting myself in the foot by sneaking food!) but I’ve lost a few more inches. I have always heard that you lose inches before weight so that’s probably the case. Here they are... WEIGHT- SAME AT 153 NECK- 13.75 ARMS- (R) 10.5 (L) 10.25 CHEST- 35 UPPER ABS- 31.75 WAIST- 34.25 HIPS- 37 UPPER THIGHS- (R) 23.25 (L) 24 LOWER THIGHS- (R) 16 (L) 15 CALVES- (R) 13.5 (L) 13.5 TOTAL INCHES 274.75 INCHES LOST SINCE LAST MEASUREMENT 6! All I need to do is quit sneaking food and I’d be doing a lo ...

Well, I ate a little for 2 days and now I’m starting over again. I only regained 2 of the 7 pounds I lost so I’m still ahead 5 pounds..Hooray! I’ve been pretty good today. I only had 2 bites of a banana and lots water. 2 liters to be exact! I’m not a big drinker at all so 2 liters seems like a lot to me. Anyways, I’m going to redo my measurements again on Saturday instead of tomorrow because of my little binge and see if I’ve made any improvement. I’ve been walking over 200 calories off a day since Monday and keeping the house clean while taking care of an infant and a toddler. I ...

How awful!! I finally made it to day 5 and I cave. I was so weak...I ate a small bowl of salad, some boiled broccoli, and a tiny bit of spaghetti. I know, I know..I shouldn’t of. I will resume my fast tomorrow. I did get on the treadmill and burned over 200 calories and hung christmas lights outside my house (which caused quite a bit of sweating). I think I’m going to do some pilates too just to help burn the calories I ate today..so in a sense I wasn’t TOO TOO bad. Still...we’ll just have to move on and keep trying-no sense in totally giving up because of one little faulter. It’s ...

Hello, I may not have 100 pounds to lose but trying to lose this weight is a struggle for me and I hope you don’t think that me trying to lose 40lbs. compared to your 100 makes it any easier. In fact I broke and ate something today because of my awful temptation to food. I don’t consider you looking at my blog for support a butt-in..I’m flattered. I do hope you succeed and I’m going to keep trying despite my failure for today. Good luck to you and congratulations to you for taking a step in losing weight. It takes courage and strength to finally stand up and say you’ve had enough. T ...

Well, I’m coming to a close on my day 2!!! I didn’t eat one thing either...I guess the only way I kinda cheated was I chewed some gum today. I’m not really eating anything but I just needed something to occupy my mouth and take my mind off of the hunger pains. I told my husband I didn’t want to cook today and for him to eat leftovers of that awesome spaghetti I made last night. Well, hopefully I can make through another day tomorrow!!   [End]

Wow...For most people day one isn’t so bad...but it turned bad when I had to whip up the best smellin’ batch of spaghetti for my husband and kids!!! I’m proud of myself because I didn’t even taste the sauce or anything..but it sure did cross my mind about a billion times. Right now I have that crumbly feeling in my tummy. It’s so tempting for me to want to reach in the refridgerator and eat a slice of leftover pumpkin pie..my will is hopefully stronger. We’ll see how day 2 goes for me tomorrow! Good luck to everyone out there fasting..it’s not easy!   [End]

Well..I stink.. I ended up eating after my husband called and asked me to make cheesedip tonight for the football game. I will have to start again tomorrow and tell my husband that I can’t make anything delicious for the next few days. If anything I’m definitely going to make a commited start this Friday the day after Thanksgiving. I’m a retail manager here in my local mall in a store that sells teenage clothing. I might be a mother of two but I’m required to wear our clothes and look good in them (because you can’t sell something if you look awful in it!!). I go back to work on Janua ...

Today I’m water fasting for the first day. I’m going to fast for two or three days and then break it for Thanksgiving (because it virtually immoral to fast during the best food day of the year!!!). My sister and I then made a pack to fast for at least 10 days together starting the day after Thanksgiving. She has some very stubborn fat she wants to lose and I just had a baby 3 weeks ago and I have 40 pounds to lose! My plan is to water fast at least 5 days, then juice and water the next 5, then I read about a woman losing 100 pounds by fasting one day, eating just raw veggies the next d ...
