Week 8 Update

Two months! Things are going great! I'm am so excited with my progress.

Foods going fine. But it is hard when I find myself not hungry at all and I know I haven't eaten all day. I believe this to be a side effect of the Topamax.

The exercise is fabulous!!! I'm starting to challenge myself with more hills and longer walks. Still plugging away at my 5k program also.

Here are the numbers. I'm super happy with these results. I feel I am right on track. I weighed in today at 287lbs! Which puts me at a total loss of 32.4lbs!!!!! Yay!!! That's a HUGE number for two months of hard work!

Happy dance! See ya in two weeks!

Week 6 Update

Hi all! Tis that time again! I can't believe it's been two weeks already.

I have to admit, these two weeks were a huge struggle for me. Here are the key points.

The pill I'm taking is going well. I saw my psychiatrist during these two weeks and she is pleased with my health improvements. For now nothing is going to change on that front.

Food. I stayed on track with a few off track spins. Nothing major. This is where my food addiction comes in. When I get really depressed I get the urge to eat chocolate. But for the most part I only ate small amounts of chocolate vs. my usual full box of cookies or during this time of year life sized chocolate bunbun. Which in itself is a huge improvement! I continued to juice and made a really yummy soup out of veggies! Mmmm!!!!

My mood. I've been going through it these past few weeks. I haven't seen huge numbers drop on the scale and that didn't help. Keep in mind there are a lot of other things contributing to my poop mood but since this blog is weight loss based I'll keep it related.

Now the numbers I weighted in today at 295.2lbs!!! Which means I have lost a total of 24.2lbs! I am so proud of myself for this achievement! I am excited to keep going and keep working hard at my goals!

Thanks for reading and I'll see you all in two weeks!
