Today, Thursday, is day 4 of this new way of eating. Though to be honest, other than no grains or fruit (for first two weeks only), I realized I’ve not really changed my method of eating too much. And, after the first day – I’ve quit craving certain foods. But I do wish I could eat one of the super fresh peaches, melons or pears that came in my CSA box today!! 🙁
The 2nd day of the diet, I got my period – which explained some of the stress I was experiencing just before the change.  It might also have something to do with the weigh loss I experienced. In fact, I keep weighing myself just to see if it’s for real. I hesitate to share about this for SO many reasons…but mainly because I never lose weight. Seriously….weight watchers, the last time we did atkins, mcdougall (sp?), that expensive but nasty diet we tried in PDX (blech!!)….I never lose!  The last time I remember losing weight was in 1988. sigh. That’s over 20 years of feeling like a failure.
In the past 3 days, I’ve lost 10 lbs! No, seriously!!
Check it out! I have a long way to go – and maybe my goal is unrealistic – it’s 20 lbs less than I weighed when I got married but it is a goal!
But my first goal is to be down 50 lbs before our vaction in Fall 2010 to VA & Washington DC…but I’m so encouraged I’m thinking I might get there before that date!! 😀
That’s seriously AWESOME!!! … You are motivating me… We’re camping all next week, but I may have to start a new weight loss program when we come home!
Amy – you can do it! We’ll do it together 🙂
You’re doing a great job Amy! Just keep “keeping on” when it gets tough! 50 lbs by next fall is very doable!
Congratulations!
Great job!
Way to go! Keep up the great work!
As you know, Connie and I enjoy this new way of eating which makes a lot more sense then our old style. We are so proud that Eric and you have started this new step in your life. the benefits are remarkable. Love you very much.
I’m jumping on this train!!! Great job Amy!!!! Love you!
Fantastic job honey! I’m a bit jealous but certainly don’t begrudge you your success. I’m having a harder time with this than I anticipated. Diabetes seems to make everything harder and dorkier :o( Oh well, at least I don’t have to measure or weigh food or count too much stuff before I can eat. And you have made lots of really good dinners too! Thanks!!
You are doing awesome! I bet you are to your goal weight before the Washington trip. Keep on it and keep sharing – love hearing it.
Good for you Amy. I have heard really good things about South Beach. I hope it continues to work!
Congrats on your loss!!
That is just amazing!
