Well doctor says I am perfect, had my veins checked in my legs because they were hurting,,, nothing found..
I have went to some kind of root herb to help w/ my hormones.. hopeing this will help my weight loss..
I continue to exercise and try to eat right. I am around 500-600 calories a day.. started drinking pure protein shakes for snacks, NO fruit, no milk just water.
I also started in the morning drinking pure protein .. that helps my protein level.. Still exercising 5X a WEEK. LOVE IT ADDICTED..
Starting this week I am going to do a BODY WRAP every week until I go to California. My goal is to be in size 18 and weight 200 pounds before going to california.
My goal to do that:
Exercise 5X DAY week
EAT RIGHT every day
Protein, protein protein min. of 60-70 grams a day
WATER WATER WATER- min of 64 oz a day
Body wrap weekly
taking daily herb for hormones
daily herb for natural stomach baterica
ensure I am doing a BM every day- which is a miracle for ME ha ha
attempt 1-2 a week- swimming or water aeborics.
EVERY DAY is a choice for me.. I can choose to give up on my plan or stick to it and take one day at a time.
I am learning I am addicted to food.. I didn't get large and stay large for 18 years for nothing.
I am doing 1X monthly free therapy at work
I am doing 2X monthly - private therapist - food disorder
I am doing 1X group - therapy from my physicians office
I am doing once every 3 MONTHS - for dietian.
I have to do what I have to do to ensure I am ontrack and being accountable on what I put in my mouth. -

and then go back on board.
I am so frusrated w/ my slow weight loss, thinking am I cursed or what. What do I have to do for my body to respond?
I just keep going to the gym, drinking my water and stay focused..
I just try as much as possible to keep up the spirit and not give in.
Having my primary doctor run CBC, CMP, Ferttitan, IRON, TSH, and T4 to determine what else could be going on in my body. Find out results in a few days.

Dietian told me I am eating way to much can you believe in 300 caloreis a day, 20 grams of protein.
WOW..
Well I am adding a snack of protein in between. I am so hungry.
8 Weeks out tommorrow- FRUSTRATED NO WEIGHT LOSS and GAINED
Sep 26, 2012
Ok I gained 4 pounds can you believe it.
Only thing I had was coffee- but DID NOT CHEAT.. Had control went to a womens confrence w/ buffet food and didn't cheat.. so proud of myself..
Got really sick this week - so I haven't really excerised.. going to start back again in a few days once I get over this really bad cough.
Not sure if my sickness is related to the weight gain.

6 weeks out tommorrow
Sep 18, 2012
Learning this is JUST a tool- I still have to dea w/ my demons and bad habits. I have heard this said over and over again but hit me that if I don't change, I will never loose weight.
Every day I push myself to walk on my breaks and or lunch, and only eat 3 meals a day.. excited my clothes are fitting loose.. My goal is too loose as much weight as I can within 6 months. ..
