Before After

50 pounds lost, but lost a month

I went to update my weight log and I noticed I haven't logged my weight since the end of August!

September was spent maintaining...

But I'm back on track! (Well... except I'm going to visit family this weekend and what I will eat = what they eat)

I'm finally down 50 pounds though, which is fantastic, I just wish September had been better for me and I could have reached this point sooner!

I'm living by myself again, though, which I think is the best scenario for any dieter. I simply refuse to buy junk food... if I don't have it, I can't eat it! Of course, I did buy some 100 calorie Dorito packs and fruit snacks... but when those are gone, that's it! While the points value for these things are low, I've decided that a more filling snack would be something like string cheese or yogurt (I have plenty of that as well!)

I also bought the Hungry Girl cookbook, which I think will be very useful, especially for me since I'm only cooking for one person and most of the recipes are for one serving. I found the tofu shiritaki noodles that are mentioned in the book quite often and I can't wait to try them! Unfortunately, I realized after spending lots of money at the grocery store that I don't have all of the right ingredients to make the recipes that call for the noodles. I'm going to make the shrimp pad thai as soon as I get those ingredients!

I made the jalepeno swappers as a snack today, and they were great!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on 50 pounds lost!  Even though you didn't lose during September, remember to pat yourself on the back for the big ol' accomplishment of maintaining what you did.  That is newsworthy also.  If we don't enjoy our accomplishments, it makes it harder to keep going. 

hey!

I love those 100 calorie things.  Sam's Club makes one with sunchips and cheetos!  YUMO!
