One pound less...

One more pound gone! Not much, but it's a pound I'm not carrying around anymore. Makes a total of twelve pounds lost. I still have a long way to go, but I know I'll get there. This community of "green" homesteaders is a big inspiration to me. Getting back to natural foods without chemicals and preservatives (as much as I can right now) helps me to stay on track.

I just read my Slimfast can and saw it has NutraSweet in it. Some things we eat or drink we don't even realize it, but there it is in small writing. The trouble is, I have to have it for the time being. The only way I've ever been able to lose weight was by drinking it. It makes me feel full for a few hours at a time. I've been drinking two a day. At least I can cut out the sodas with it. I've always drunk five or six a day!

Oh well...one step at a time. Sarah

Hey Sarah,
Its wonderful your losing weight, instead of looking at it as "just" one lb... go pick up a box of butter, thats one lb of fat, Quite a bit really. And you've lost 12 of those boxes of butter:> WAY TO GO!!!

Take measurments, too? Also a great incentive :-) Esp. once you start toning up and gaining muscle...muscle actually weighs more! One step at a time. I'm hoping for Spring so we can start walking regularly again...
Congratulations though! Every step counts. I've contemplated the slimfast diet as well. Even with the nutrisweet, it has to be better than pills!

Way to go!

Congrats on the weight loss! I know how hard it is! I've gained and lost and gained again myself! You are motivating me to get back at it again!
