17#!!

This is my 9th week of FMD. This has been a tough week, tho...our house flooded 2 times in one week and I've found it hard yo eat! Good news is that I've lost 17#! Happy chappy! I hope to get back with the routine tomorrow. Another exciting thing is that Jim started FMD on Monday!

Today I begin week 8!!

The last 2 weeks I've mostly done FMD, but not as strictly as the previous weeks. I'm down 14 pounds and I'm happy with that, considering I wavered off course some. I'm feeling good and can tell when I'm down on the floor painting, it's easier to get up with my arthritic knee! Go, Me!

Starting week 3

Didn't strictly adhere to FMD last week, so I'm gonna do that this week. Would really like to see 10 more off in two weeks!

Week 6

Jim had to go to Kentucky for a couple of days, so I went with him. Needless to say, FMD was hard to follow with having to eat out. I didn't do too bad, but it's time to get back in gear...just in time for P2!!

End of week 5

I finally had Jim measure me! Lost 6.5 inches on chest, waist, hips and legs! I'm happy with that and want to lose more! We went to Winchester, Kentucky today, so we will be eating out. Tonight we went to Bonefish in Lexington and it was sooo good. We had Bang Bang Shrimp, I had crab cakes and Jim had fish tacos. All was delicious! Back to seriousness tomorrow! My friend, Sandy, is meeting me tomorrow and I'm treating her to a pedicure at the place in Lexington I went to while working here last year.

Week 5

Week 5, P2, D1. Going good. My clothes are looser and I'm ready for more of that!

28 days:DONE

I finished 28 days yesterday. Jim had to go to Houston, so I won't be able to be measured until Wednesday. I might do a cheat day today...go eat a 5 Guys hamburger. Not sure I will or not. Really the only cheating part will be the bread on the burger. My overall view of this diet is that it works for me! The app made it especially easy. I knew if I needed to eat a protein, grain, fruit, etc. but, to go further, I knew WHICH protein to eat. When you are to eat a fruit (or other food group) the app tells you exactly which fruits are permissible. You can't have any fruit...certain ones on certain days. The app took guess work out for me, which ultimately made it easy to follow. I plan to go ahead and do another 28 days and hopefully lose another 10-15 pounds. I know I can do it...I just have to remember the goal...less weight, less inches, more energy and just feeling better. My knees feel better already!
