Well, I have lost 5 lbs., but I have been fasting 1 meal a day. I started off fasting for my oldest daughter, but now it is for all of them and 1 day will be for Tom and I. I didn't expect the weight to come off so fast. I am trying to go back to what Marci told me to do
Marci- Diabetic Counselor- Plan
2 Carbs per meal, 1200 cal.
If I do what Sandi wanted me to do which is a little more, I don't know if the weight will come off as easy.
Sandi- Team Baracterics- Plan
3 Carbs per meal, 1400 cal.
I think that I will start off with the 1200 cal and 2 carbs just to get myself under control. I feel as though I have gone wild with food. Just eating whatever I want and that is why I have gained 20 pounds. I don't want to gain everything I worked so hard to lose. I have still been able to keep 20lbs off. I started battling my weight in August of 2007. Since my surgery in March 25, 2008, I had not been able to get back on track. I weighed 222 going into surgery and 217 when I went back to work in May of 08. I have steadily been increasing. I went to team baractric to get some weight off. I started at 235 and lost 10lbs. So I thought wow, I will lose the rest, but I went to California and didn't get back into my routine. I had to quit team baractrics in June. So I gain 5lbs for my son's wedding. I didn't think that was bad. But, I was angry because I didn't want to quit going to place I enjoyed. Excerising was fun and I meet new people. I turned to food. I gave up. I didn't think my husband really cared. I still don't feel his support in losing weight. I am not sure why? I don't know. I just know that I am struggle to sleep again and my sleep apnea is getting worse. I need to lose this weight and feel good again. I decided to get back into exercising. I have always enjoyed walking. So I decided to start taking Newman for walks. The first day, he took me for a walk instead. Yesterday, he started out walking me, then gave in to my speed and walked more with me. I am only doing a mile so far. Hopefully, that will increase to 2 miles.
