Hello,

Well as of today I am 15 weeks out and down 80lbs. I am very strict about my diet and excercise also vitamins and water. I do a lot of protein drinks. Unjury only, I love the chocolate. But I buy all the flavors, the chicken broth is great. I really have no regrets, except that when I eat watermelon it has a laxative effect. But I am told this too shall pass...no pun...lol. I went in weighing 364, I am now at 284. God has truly blessed me, and yes I am "Grateful". I have long beatiful nails, and my hair is growing too. I follow my dr. orders. pretty much to the letter. And I feel great. Well I guess that is all for now. For all who reads this, I pray  much success, I find that if you work your tool.. it will work for you. BE BLESSED... IN JESUS' NAME...

Crystal...

Well let's see, today is my birthday, and I am officially down 58 lbs. I am 10 weeks out today. I feel INCREDIBLE!!!! I truly thank my Jesus! I feel so blessed. So far I have not had any major issues. I follow my dr's orders. I lurk a lot on BAF, but I am very strict about what I eat. I have completely cut pork out of my diet. Bye...bye lil piggy. I work out 4 days a week, cardio and strength training, I do a lot of water excercises, and I love it. I am so in this to win this. I no longer drink caffeine, nor do I drink soda anymore. Anything with more than 6 grams of sugar is the enemy. I do mostly fish, chicken, turkey, and maybe beef once a week. And it is ground sirloin. I am having such a good time working my tool. Not only am I trying to lose the weight, but I am trying to build strong, healthy habits early out. I know that the "honeymoon" period is not going to last forever. So I am taking advantage of it while I can. I know there gonna come a day when the weight loss slows down, but by then I will have the knowledge to make good and healthy choices. There is a lot of good info on BAF, but sometimes I just shake my head when I read about the slow weight loss, and some of the things some people eat. Then they wonder why. I just don't get it. But I am sure learning from other peoples mistakes. Well I am shooting for under the 300 mark, and I know I will make that before the end of May...Be Blessed..IN JESUS' NAME....
