So Far, So Good

I had a brief delay in starting.  So my new start date was Monday, January 28th, 2008.


I bought a new scale just to make sure that my results would be closer to right, that and my old scale was about 20 years old and you could change your weight depending upon how you leaned.  I started at 254 lbs, yesterday's weigh in was 242 lbs.  Down 12 pounds!  I know that most of the loss was due to water retention and sugar.  I love salt and my sodas.  I'm also a old school meat-n-tators gal.  So not having potatoes and breaded meats has been the source of my cravings.  I also did switch the formula for my lattes to a 4 shot, skinny, sugarfree caramel.  I wish the SF flavorings didn't have the awful after taste, but I've told myself if I want to loose this weight I'll just have to adjust to it.


I feel full most of the time now, with the exception of right around 7:30-8:00.


I know that I probably just had a really good week, but I'm hoping now for many good weeks!

Your tastes will adjust. I remember about 5 or 6 years ago dh tried switching to diet soda. I about died - I thought it was the nastiest stuff I had ever tasted. When I started South Beach I tried to go without soda all together, but couldn't do it (I used to drink a 2-liter of regular coke every day) So I got diet - it wasn't quite the same at first, but it was "better than nothing". Now, I don't notice ANY after taste at all and the other night when we were out to eat the waitress accidentally brought me a regular coke - one sip and I literally gagged and sprayed it all over the table because it tasted so nasty and almost thick. 5 years ago I never would have thought that would happen!
