Al Natural

As you know now I incorporated some hunger suppressants pills to my diet. Well they worked, but they were hitting my pockets too hard. So, I only took the pills for the first two weeks. Ironically I managed to not put the weight back on that I had already lost, but I also ended up losing more weight, of course not as drastic as I planned on. So far I have lost 18 pounds. My short-term goal is to lose 30 by January, I think at this rate I can surpass that. Wow, I just realized I lost 18 pounds in 1 month! Didn't think it could be possible. It's weird how I can't really tell the difference, but others tell me they can see it in my face. I do feel better and stay more active. Since I've been all natural I tend to eat more than when I was on the pills. In a way I kind of want to take them because it helped control my hunger longer and caused me to eat less. I guess if I find myself struggling I could use a little boost to get me back on track. Talk to ya soon with my next update.

Well, well, well! Did ya miss me? So, I am assuming you want to know how my week went with my new diet. Let me tell you, it was G-R-E-A-T! Back on the last week of September (2 weeks ago) I decided to be more careful with my food intake. When I starter the actual diet (1 week ago) I had lost 6 lbs. Tuesday was my weight-in at the Dr's and I lost an additional 4.8 lbs. That's 10.8 lbs in 2 weeks. WOO HOO! I'm sure people might not like the fact that I am not doing it completely natural. Injections and pills??? Well, the injections is a mixture of vitamins that basically gives me a boost of energy (that I definitely need), and the pills help suppress my appetite (I find I am not eating unnecessarily or over eating, specially when I am home bored). Staying within my 1200 calories, I thought it was going to be difficult, but with the meal planner I got from the doctor and not feeling starved all the time it has helped tremendously. I don't have a gym membership yet, but I don't think I need to spend all of that money unless I need to lift some dumbbells. I have been opting in for walking instead of driving whenever I can, and doing some cardio workouts in front of my TV set with the cable's "Sports & Fitness On Demand" channel.

Here are some of the things I ate this past week:

Yogurt Smoothie & Wheat Toast w/Peanut Butter

1/2 of an IHOP Simple & Fit Meal

Rice, Green Beans & Cubed Steak (PR Style)

Rice with Turkey Meatballs

 

 

Spinach salad with Chicken & Fruit

I'm back, hopefully this time for good!

Haven't been doing so well with the weight loss in the past 10 months since my last post. I have steadily gained weight and unable to maintain it down. Today I decided to take a drastic step into weight loss. I have started a Physician Supervised Weight Loss program. I will get an injection every week of a vitamin complex that will give me a boost in energy (I really need that). On top of that injection I will be taking a hunger supresant pill. The doctor has put me in a 1200/day restricted diet and excercise plan. Doing so I am expected to lose 2.5 lbs every week. I am excited about this. I think that the thought of having someone follow up on my progress will get me to stick to my diet (specially since I am paying for this). I will keep you guys updated in my weight loss journey, or you can follow me on My Fitness Pal this is a link to my page. Talk to you later!!!
