As of today I am half way to my goal!! I've lost 44 lbs...well technically I have one more pound to be half way but close enough to be pleased :D. Woohoooo. I've come a long way and have a long way to go. But it's encouraging!
This round went really well until I got sick and took those cough drops...but really I think it was my drops. I gained 5 lbs! If it had been the cough drops I would have just plateaued for a few days. I didn't cheat once, I did everything exactly the same. But when I opened my new bottle of drops I started going down in weight again ever so slowly. Anyway, that was not fun. I put a call in to the naturopath and explained and they said they hadn't heard of anyone else having problems like that. But they are replacing the bottle. Yay!
My husband started a half round. Today is his first day of the 500 calories. I am on day 29 of 40. I have not lost as much as I would have liked too so far what with all that trouble for 2 WEEKS! 2 weeks is a long time when you're only going for 40 days. But it is what it is.
Also another thing I have been having trouble with is hair loss. I have started taking biotin (a B7) that is supposed to help with that...we'll see. It's a bit disconcerting. I've always had lots of hair and it's supposed to grow back no problem. So we'll see.
Other than that it's been good. :).
I am down 4 to 5 clothing sizes now depending on the brand. The inches are falling away. It's fun :).
Oh another thing I have to comment on...people don't really notice your weightloss until you've lost 40 lbs. It was that way for me, my husband, and my friend. Or maybe they're afraid to comment...but regardless...that's an interesting observation! :D
