Trying this again using Gillian McKeith's Program ~ You are what you Eat

I just started this journey again. 

I can't believe that I weighted over 300 pounds.  Where did it get away from me?  Why did I have my head in the sand until it got too out of control?  These are just a few questions that I really need to answer.

I have lost 13 pounds so far (2 weeks).  I have been following Gillian McKeith's program from "You are what you Eat".  It is a program on BBC America and it was very interesting to me.  I do not follow it exactly because it is very strict but I have tried to follow it as much as possible and I'm seeing results.  I do think I need to start following it to the letter because I may see better results.

My daughter is in PA visiting my parents until August 16th so I hope to surprise her with at least a 20 pound weight loss.  I hope she will be able to notice some difference but my luck I'm too heavy for it to show up.

I have to do it this time.  I start Nursing School in September and it is going to be difficult so I don't need any health problems to appear to make it more difficult.

Anyway.... I just wanted to get this started.  I need all the support I can get.  My goal weight is 150.... so I have to loose 1/2 of me.  UGH.....

Best Wishes on your journey

Weight loss can be a journey of all sorts.  Just know that it is not easy, but can be done.  Know that you are worth it and you can accomplish anything!  Good luck on your weight loss and nursing school!

Good luck :)

Weight loss certainly is a journey.  It's easy to let the scenery go past and sudden wake up and find oneself at the wrong destination.  Like you I sometimes wonder how I got here.  Lately I've taken to not doing that as it depresses - I try and focus on how I'm going to get to my journey end and the experiences I need to learn to make sure I don't go wondering off and losing myself again.

Good luck :D  Got to love those Aduki beans.

Thank you !

Thank you for the support.  I know that I have to do it for myself and my family now before it is too late.  I have not tried the Aduki beans yet.  I plan on going to the Co-Op to get some of the specialty beans this week.

How are you ?

It's been a while - just wondering how you are getting on.  Please post an update
