159.6 lbs.
35% Body Fat
40 1/2" Tummy Roll
So the only good thing about this morning is the 1/2" I lost around my tummy.
I am definitely on a plateau. There are 2 ways to break a plateau. But, first, you know you are on a plateau when it lasts 4-5 days, which I have.
1. eat 6 large apples w/in 24 hrs from lunch to lunch.
2. take a non-mercurial diuretic
Hopefully, I'll have a large loss of after doing one of these. It will be mostly water, but it's not supposed to be regained back. According to the protocol, this is normal. It also happens during the second half of a 6 week cycle. This describes me, so I hope that's what it is.
I did weigh this morning after 6:30 a.m. I will continue to do that. I have been weighing at different times in the morning, sometimes early, sometimes late.
I will start my water earlier.
It's very frustrating to stay with something so closely and not see a result. The good thing is that this has jump started my weight loss whether I actually lose a pound a day or not. I have lost 15.4 lbs. from Day 1 Load Day. My average has been about a half pound a day, which is about 3 3/4 lbs. per week. This isn't bad. If I was doing a regular weight loss program of diet and exercise, I would be ecstatic to see a 2 pound loss per week. So, I need to be realistic.
I am happy to see the changes that have already happened. I am more disciplined because this takes so much preparation. My face looks thinner. My clothes are more loose. I have to stick with the positives.

Yes, be patient. You are doing fabulous. Don't forget to throw in a little exercise.
ReplyDeletealso you should start posting weekly pics (with clothes on) so we can see the changes and compare weeks later on. It might help keep you motivated too.
