Today marks one month I have been on this weight loss journey. I have loss a total of 15.2 pounds. Seeing that number didn't make me happy at first. When I first set out on this journey I thought I would lose more the first month. Then I started thinking back to everything I have went through in just one month.
First Month Progress
- My winter coat feels looser around the middle.
- I fit into a pair of jeans I haven't fit into in years. By the end of the month they are already fitting too big.
- I have so much more energy.
- Bringing up the groceries a flight of stairs didn't feel like a chore.
I am actually happy about the last bullet point. Going grocery shopping and walking up one flight of stairs with heavy groceries was difficult for me. I would dread doing the grocery shopping every week. This week I felt like I just floated up the stairs.
Today starts another 7 days of the Dr. Oz Rapid Weight Loss Plan. I am going to do a week of it every month. I feel like it cleanses me and I eat tons of healthy food while on it.
Goals For Second Month
- Complete 7 days of the Dr. Oz Rapid Weight Loss Plan
- Plan and do exercise at least 4 times a week
- Drink more water
- Try Quinoa
Good for you! I bet by this summer you will be feeling great! Always great to be able to wear clothes we never thought we could! Go Girl!
ReplyDeleteFitting into your favorite air of jeans makes it all worth while. I'm about to start the medifast myself but Dr. Oz sounds more liveable.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the success! I am going along with you.. things are getting loser and it feels good!
ReplyDeleteI'm a personal trainer and I have to say I LOVE how you are tracking the non-weight related parts of your progress. That's a great way to ensure you keep at it. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job. Keep up the good work! I'll tell you, there's more success in how your clothes fit than what the scale says. Keeping track of your measurements is a better way of seeing results. Even when the scale doesn't show a loss, you may have just added more muscle and lost fat.

ReplyDeleteWow, that is great! I have been hearing this and I guess it really works for you. Good job and keep it up
ReplyDeleteWOW, that's really awesome - you go, girl!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great! You should be happy about your weight loss- 15 pounds in one month is REALLY good! It takes many people 2-3 months to lose that much weight. And congrats on the jeans.
ReplyDeleteQuinoa is awesome...just make sure you rinse it REALLY well before cooking. Good luck on month two!
I am so happy to hear about your positive progress! Keep up the good work!! :)
ReplyDeleteSO glad to hear that you are noticing so much progress. Keep it up!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your weight loss. It seems like it would be helpful and less stressful to break it up into weeks.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am on a weight loss journey myself. I really don't have a plan yet though I am just eating less wheat and more green leafy foods. I will have to check this out as I have only lost 2 pounds this week. Great Job on losing so much! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing an excellent job. I was never able to go more than a few days on a diet, in spite of all the benefits.
ReplyDelete15.2lbs is awesome!! I need to get my butt into gear and actually lose weight. :/ I haven't really stayed on the wagon of being better this year at all!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go check out what this rapid weight loss thing does entails.

ReplyDeleteGood job, lady! I am about to embark on my weight loss journey too. I'm hoping that by focusing on marathon training rather than the weight loss, I'll do better this time :). You should be proud of yourself. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDelete15 lbs in a month is great. And fitting into pants that didn't fit before is the best feeling in the world.
