Hey everyone,
I'm now about 3 1/2 weeks into this WOE, and I have to say that I love it!
Today I went to work, and for the first time in about 10 years was wearing size 38 waist jeans and an XL shirt. Several people made nice comments about me looking thinner, looking better, etc... I have to tell you that I'm so not used to those kinds of compliments!!!
It really felt good!
I lost a lot in the first 2 to 2 1/2 weeks, but in the last week I've actually gained a pound back, but I know that I've lost inches. I'm in 4 notches on the belt!!! Whoooo Hooooo!!!!
At first on this WOE I really didn't have much energy, and my stamina was low. Yes, I was putting in time on the treadmill, about an hour a day, most days... but, I could only jog for a minute or two, then would have to walk for a bit... but today I was able to do 8 minutes at a good pace before having to take walk breaks! It's taken a while, but the endurance is really starting to build up quickly now. My times on the treadmill went from taking 20 minutes for the first mile to now taking about 11 1/2... and getting better each day.
Yeah, it's a little bit discouraging to see a pound increase in 7 days, but I know that I'll get a nice whooshie pretty soon! And, more importantly, I know that my health is getting better each and every day! I just feel better.
I guess I'm writing this to encourage those who are feeling disappointed because they haven't lost as fast as they were hoping they would, and those just beginning so that they might know what to expect.
It just gets better every day. So, stick to the plan. Believe in what the good Dr. A. has to teach, and please do share your experiences here.
I really missed
today when it was down. So glad it's back up and that I'm able to share with you all.
There are so many inspiratoinal people here. I wish I had time to say thank you to each and every one of you! It really is like a big supportive family.
Thanks everyone!!!
Rick
