diet Week 8 Phase 2 Update Down 3 pounds this week!!!!! Halle-freakin’-luja!!!! I have hit the coveted 25 pound mark! VERY motivating to really stick to the program – even when you seem to be hovering forever! I wore a jacket yesterday that I could not even get on (WAAAAAy too tight thru the arms) and it was quite loose and […]

diet Week 7 Phase Two Update I am down another pound this week for a total of 22 pounds in 19 weeks. Feeling so good – with lots of energy! Not too bad for a 50 year-old woman with thyroid, adrenal and hormone issues. My husband is down 27 pounds. Such a way of life for us now I can’t imagine […]

diet Week 6 Phase 2 Update I FINALLY broke through my plateau!!!!! I lost a pound this last week and am at a total loss of 21 pounds. One of the things I find most interesting is that people don’t say, “Wow, you have lost a lot of weight!”, they are saying “You look pretty in that color.” or “You are […]

diet Update Week 5 Phase Two Holding steady this week. I lost the 2 pounds I gained, but nothing additional. I will not be lamenting however, just happy to be hanging in there. I am feeling great! My husband is down like 27 pounds now and we are continuing the daily morning routine of strength training and cardio. LOVE the fall […]

diet Week 4 Phase Two Update They say better late than never right?! I actually had a really hard week last week for the first time in the last 16 weeks. I think it was more hormonal than anything and I didn’t stray too far, but I did feel the effects. I gained 2 pounds last week – I did a […]

diet Week Three Phase Two Results I FINALLY hit -20 pounds!!!!! I am pretty excited about that! It seems like hitting the 20 pound mark always takes forever. I would like to lose another 15 pounds, but am fitting into my old clothes nicely now and am really happy with the way I am feeling overall. We are in the process […]

diet Update for Week 12 Phase One Don’t really have much to report – we are in Maine visiting our grandchildren and as such, I do not have scales or a measuring tape to check on my progress. I will say it has been a bit of a challenge to stay completely on course with travel all day on Saturday and coming […]

diet Update for Week 11 Phase One This week was one of my most challenging. I had a realtor convention in Park City for two days. I only got 3 1/2 hours of sleep the night before I left due to wrapping things up since I would be out of town for 2 days. While I had to change the menu quite […]

diet Update for Week 10 Phase One I started the week with a two pound weight gain (I have done this before and don’t know if this is hormone related or what), but ended with a 1/2 pound loss for the week. I lost another 1/2″ from my waist and feel good about that. Feeling strong and grateful for the things I […]

diet Week 9 Update Challenge Results Ended Week 9 with no weight loss, but 1/2″ loss from my hips. This is typical of the way my body responds, often hitting a plateau with nothing notable at all. I am not worried about it and in fact, am very pleased with how good I feel overall. Clothes are fitting so much better […]

diet Week 8 Update to 12 Week Challenge My body seems to be responding well to this program. In 8 weeks I have lost 16 pounds and several inches! I have a ton more energy and just feel so much better overall. I am struggling a bit with my knees (one has a torn ACL and the other – who knows?!) and am […]

diet Update for Week 7 Week 7 brings my weight loss to 13 pounds (2.5 for this past week)! I am feeling so empowered and strong right now. It is amazing that when I tackle my biggest challenge (diet and exercise), how it spills over into every other aspect of my life. I think it is because it gives me […]

diet Update for Week 6 Week 6! Half way through the first phase (there are 4 total). I am feeling great! I am down nearly 11 pounds, have lost 3″ from my waist and hips and 3.5″ from my under bust measurement. Legs and arms are down a couple of inches also. I am definitely feeling more fit and toned […]

diet Update for Week 5 Had a great week for both exercise and nutrition. I have only lost another 1/2 pound this week, but am feeling great physically and seeing improvement on my exercise – I am able to do all reps and with an increased weight/resistance. LOVING that I do not really even have to think about what to […]
