21 lbs in 12 days
VLCD Days 11, 12, 13
Weight Sat 7.19.08: 224.8 (loss of 2.6lbs)
Weight Sun 7.20.08: 223.4 (loss of 1.4lbs)
Weight Mon 7.21.08: 223.4 (no loss)
Total loss since 7.09.08: 21.2 lbs
I keep losing, especially on the weekends when my activity level goes through the roof. I keep stepping on the scale two or three times to make sure I'm not seeing things each day I lose so much. It's unreal. I have tried to keep up a regular eating schedule, but that doesn't always happen, so frequently I know I am not getting all the calories I should be. Folks, this is a diet best undertaken when one's schedule is not so jam-packed! I do make sure I get all my protein, and sometimes an extra 100g serving. That seems to be the key.
My friend who started a few days before I did is now down 16lbs, losing a bit slower, but she's also much closer to her goal weight than I am. She'll be done with her 23 injection round on tuesday of next week, and is so pleased with the results she is going to do one last round to get the last 15 or so pounds off. Sometimes I feel like I have so much more weight to lose that it seems insurmountable, and then I look at the numbers going down on my little spreadsheet and August 22 doesn't seem so far away after all (or rather November, when I plan on finishing my final round). I tried on some dresses this afternoon and I was able to fit into a 14 in some styles. That's a far cry from the 20/22 I was last Christmas! I bought one dress that I think will last me through the next few months of weight loss. On clearance! I'm trying not to buy too many clothes until I'm closer to 200, though a lot of my trousers are falling off me, thank you belts.
I hope the scale goes down tomorrow, but I did try those 'miracle noodles' today so we'll see if they affect my loss at all. I'm less concerned about the noodles themselves (they are calorie free, made of shirataki mushroom and can be bought at miraclenoodle.com) than the amount of soy sauce I put on them to make them taste yummy. Argh sodium. I love the texture, and I'm sure a little extra fiber can't hurt. Time will tell...
