My one month, well actually 6 week update

After one Month (2/19) I have lost 30 lbs. As of 2/27 I have lost a grand total of 40 lbs. (I am not ready to talk about what my weight is yet) I have started getting some serious positive feedback but currently I am in the middle of a "Blue" period so it has been hard to focus on all of the good things that are really starting to happen. I am hearing this is to be expected and I am hoping it fades soon. I am following Dr. Crum's directions 100%. I am attending the support groups. I personally have found they are a great way to stay focused on the big picture. I have a great relationship with my mentor. She has really been such a huge help in getting through these tough times. Thanks Mentor!!!! You know who you are! Food wise I am moving cautiously into the realm of solid food. Fish has been the easiest so far and I could eat it every day if I had to. I still rely on the protein shakes to get me in the 90 - 100 Grams of protein level. I am keeping my Carbs to less than 20 grams. I have started up walking again in celebration of the end of winter (hopefully). A 2.5 mile walk in the woods two days ago and a nice short 1.5 mile-or-so walk in the neighborhood last night. So that's all for now, Until next time... ************

Congraulations! Keep up the good work! Christine

Hi Stephen, Keep up the good work! It sound slike you're right on track, and yes, the blue moods are par for the course. Its temporary, but the weight loss isnt! -Deb PS - You NEVER have to mention your weight if you are not comfortable with it...its the law.
