Hello to everyone,
I have so much to say, but not sure if this is the right place. I am at 6 weeks and my weight loss has slowed a bit. I traveled quite a bit (three weekends in a row) and found it difficult on the road, but not impossible. I'm down 29 pounds.
My four week blood work left me with an email from Dr. Cohen with a check list. I think I was using crackers that did not comply, plus I wondered about my tea. I was drinking a tea called "good earth" tea. I switched back to saltine crackers and dropped the tea and my weight loss picked up again. After reading the posts on this forum, I was using red pepper (pizza pepper) to spice my food, I also am sure that I used some gum that had fruit flavoring in it!!!! Thanks for the feedback, I'm sure making these changes will increase my weight loss again.
I'm very accurate with my weighing. The only other thing I might be off on is using dried onion and trying to figure out how to count that in my weighing. Does anyone else use dried onion?
I made a dressing today that was really good. I used low fat cream cheese, balsamic vinegar and a pinch on dried mustard. I put the dressing on a salad of lettuce, spinach, mushroom and zucchini. I used the rest of the cream cheese with my crackers and it was a fun meal without a great deal of preparation.
AZKat's photos were so inspiring! I'm about half way there and have settled in to the fact that it might not all come off in the first 12 weeks. I also have accepted or created the goal of maintaining weight while traveling and then getting right back to my weighing when I get home.
My best to everyone.
