Well, since last Wednesday, the scale has been anywhere from 300.0 - 300.8... But I haven't freaked out. I have a REALLY long menstrual cycle that can last up to 10 days. AND I've been to the gym or exercised at least 4-5 days this week. My body may be freaking out a bit.
I keep telling myself it's ok... I am doing what I need to be doing. My carbs are low. My calories are low. My protein is high. I'm exercising. Drinking lots of water. Eating good, unprocessed food. It will all be okay... The number on the scale is just that... a number.
But... when I got on the scale this morning... I saw this.
Happy new year to me! It's not by much, but it really makes me happy for my starting weight of 2013 to be UNDER 300 lbs... I really hope it's not another tease and that my body is ready to lose some more weight. God knows I'm putting in the effort.
Today makes FOUR WEEKS SUGAR FREE! This is defnitely the longest I have ever abstained from sugar/white flour. And even though I still have cravings... they are NOT overwhelming. I feel so much stronger and in control of my eating now. It's an amazing feeling.
Don't forget to comment on THIS POST for my 2nd book giveaway!

Congrats! I bet it feels good to see that number under 300 to ring in the new year!! I just hit under 350 for the New Year and that made ME feel good... under 300 must feel GREAT :)
Happy New Year!
Good way to start the new year. I've heard it takes 5 + days for exercise/eating to reflect on your weight.

Woo hoo! good job lady! Keep it up! it is just a number, but when that number starts going in the direction you want it to you can't help but get excited!
Thats awesome,congrats!!!!:D
what an awesome Christmas gift. 4 weeks without sugar? You are a total rock star and an inspiration. Happy New Year!
Congrats! Way to go!
Even if it does go up and come back down. I have found that many times I will go up and down and up and down in a 4-5 lbs range, and then one day I realize it is going up and down again, but in a different 4-5 lbs range, a lower one! Well at least when I am focused I see that ;)BUt either way that is awesome! Nothing like getting below a major goal you have had. You can do it!.
this book looks very interesting would love to read it
Wow! You are really trucking right along! I am so impressed with your willpower over the holidays!
Starting the new year under 300 is AMAZING girl. Celebrate those victories:)
Oh I SO can't wait until I get to be under 300 again! Congrats!
Congrats, I know that is a good feeling!
Just try to remember not to weigh yourself everyday or every other day. That will make you go crazy when the scale fluctuates like that
Pick a day and stick to it.
