Good job Bizi.

I think this is a great way to think about it.

Hoping you can set maybe another 6 weeks goal for soberness.

Donna :grouphug::hug:

6 weeks AF is something to be really proud of! I'm really proud of you! :):):)

I bet it will be fun to have your BIL down there for the weekend of the awards ceremony. From your posts, it sounds like you like him... ?

174.2 this morning!
I do like my BIL!

From the weekly weigh ins: weight lost

3-6= 190.8
3-13= 181.6 (-9.2)
3-20= 179.4 (-2.2)
3-27= 178.8 (-.6)
4-2= 179.1 (+.3)
4-9= 176.9 (-2.2)
4-16= 176 (-.9)
4-19= 174.6 (-1.4)

total pounds lost since march 6th= 16.2pounds
not counting the first week of diet I have lost an average of 1 pound per week. 7 pounds over the past 6 weeks. I will hunker down until may 1st my first goal weight of 169.9.
I don't think I can get there but who knows! Being alcohol free is the only way that I could have lost this weight. Intermittant fasting has worked and lowerish carb dieting.

that is 4.7 pounds in 12 days!...maybe!

Have been obsessing over my weight loss.

It is hard being alcohol free for lent.

Don't know what I will do come easter

maybe drink easter then go back to AF?

I weigh 172.8 this morning!!!!
Yay!!!
maybe I can get to my goal weight?
3 more pounds by may 1st.
Will go to our favorite place for gumbo this morning.
Then I see a couple of clients this afternoon out of town...it is called Iota.
Not sure what else I am going to do today, need to do something.
Maybe I will go to the gym?

On to my second cup of coffee.
Yesterday I bought some beef kebobs for the grill for easter.
This will be the first easter not with friends as Paul is
out of town visiting his mom in north carolina. Jeff is picking him up at the air port
tomorrow at 11pm. He gave up alcohol for lent as well. He told Jeff that he will be drunk when he picks him up. lol
Still have not decided whether or not if I am going to drink.
Well I still look pregnant but just not as much.
This is progress!
I should have measured myself on march 6th when I started at 190.8.

Am going for my 3rd cup of coffee.
Forgot to take my noon meds yesterday after lunch. . Discovered they were still in my pocket(pill container) around 4pm so I took just the geodon and lamictal and left the vitamins for today.

My business has been slower. I need to get more clients. Am afraid to advertise because I need to slowly increase the numbers. Afraid if I advertised then I would have a large influx of clients that I could not handle.

Still have not heard anything from the board/or lawyer.
I will wait patiently.
Still alcohol free, 51 days, that is 6 1/2 weeks and lost 18 pounds.

happy about this!

Yesterdays food:

Lunch:
11:30am Ate at sandras health food cafe, spinach stuffed lobster with melted butter and shrimp kebob with bok choy and zuchini and purple cabbage. It was delicious!
4pm snack: a little of this new cheese that I got from sandras. I really like it, soft and buttery.
6;30 dinner: at whole foods, 8 oz of fresh pineapple and 6 oz of red raspberries and 3 oz of hard hard cheese. So hard I could hardly cut the rind off with a sharp knife. It must have had little to no fat at all.

It was very good! I was done eating at 7pm. So with in my 8 hour of eating and was full.
Forgot to tell you that I am drinking plain water a lot!
Over half gallon a day, it helps to keep me full.
I am not hungry on this diet.
Would highly recommend this to any one who has struggled to lose weight.

Body Mass Index(BMI)
27.1 BMI= overweight today
29.9= almost obese at start of diet.

I ate quite a lot today so tonight I jumped on the scale and it read 178.2
How could that be possible?
The scale keeps saying low...that must mean it needs a new battery?
So maybe it is not reading correctly.
maybe I have not lost the weight that I thought I did.
sigh
