Back to Basics Update

Hi guys! Sorry I've been away from the boards the past three days, but I was spending much needed quality time with my Hunny Bunny Hadn't seen him in like two weeks and was going crazy. I started the B2B with Jersey last week and was religious with my water and protein intake. Yeah, I had my downfalls and such, but I didn't let that get to me- I kept trodding along. I was with Tommy Sunday night, Monday, Tuesday, and left him this afternoon While I was with him I ws adament about having chicken for all the meals at his house (lucky for me, his mom bought roasted chicken that's already made and we ate that all the time I was there!) I also had some cheesey rice and boiled broccoli- but made sure not to over do it on the rice, although it was like heaven in a spoon. I did have a couple bites of this and that, but for the most part, made sure I ate healthily. He doesn't have a scale at his house and I sooo desperately wanted to see what kind of damage I did to myself (am I the only one who says damage? Can't ever think how much more did I lose!?) So I went down to the LA Weightloss facility here in Merced and wanted to see if they had my old file and information... I was there three years ago. Turns out they do and she tried to get me back on the program. Three years ago I paid in full for my program of 108 weeks and bought the bars and treats, well I had 16 credits on the bars and drinks... picked those up... all of em have 8 grams of protein, but the bars are pretty high in sugar and cals... I think I'll give em to my mom. The drinks- I'm adding to my protein shakes in the am! Well, here's the kicker... I get on the scale and it says 206! Its 4pm and I weigh 206 pounds! What the heck happened!? I was expecting to stay within my 212 range from when I went to see Tommy. I lost 6 pounds in 3 days! Soooo.... The great news and results to my Back To Basics: 1. Lost Eleven Pounds 2. Weigh 206 Pounds 3. I am ONLY OVER WEIGHT!!!!!!!! I'm no longer Obese! Hallelujah! I am sooooo happpppy! Only 31 pounds to go until Goal, baby! *~*Jaci*~*

Jaci!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you girl. Good job! You're doing wonderfully....like you didn't know that! And you're looking great. It's good to feel overweight isn't it? April

Thanks April! You're doing soooo wonderful yourself!

You crack me up sweetiepie Good for you, you'll be at goal in no time at all Sending hugs, Ronna

Thanks Ronna!

Way to go, Jaci. You've done wonderfully well on the B2B. Not too many more pounds to go. Karla 337/200/150

Look at you, girl! You're knocking on Onederland's door! Congrats!

Yeah Jaci send some of that will power my way, would ya? I was just saying to Jersey, I desperately need to do this, I am so off track, but can't manage to stick to it for more than a few hours ughh! I have a 9 month checkup with my nut tomorrow, maybe that will help. I know this sounds like an excuse (and it is)but we are really struggling with money right now, so I am eating what we have, which is not much, and definitely not healthy. Hopefully things will get better over the weekend and I can make another effort at B2B. YOU are an inspiration young lady! Karyn

Woo Hoo! That is so cool Jaci! I am so proud of you! I can't wait to join you in overweightsville! Leeanne

Hey Jaci, Sometimes our bodies surprise us in a good way! That's really great that you lost 11 lbs. and are close to being in Onederland. Not being in the obese category is fantastic. Good girl, way to go! Karen S.
