I weighed in this morning at 196. I had stalled at 198.4 for several days. It was a bit frustrating. Except that I had lost 1.8 pounds over night (went from 200.2 to 198), so I knew I was in for a stall. Very exciting to get on the scale this morning and see a 2.4 pound loss!
I am definitely restricting myself to 500 calories. However, I have veered off my protocol slighlty, enjoying non-fat string cheese. Yesterday, I stopped at DQ (to feed my son on his way to camp). I had the chicken breast & tomato from a chicken sandwich, and a giant Diet Coke (they were out of tea). I was beating myself up for the diet coke. And chuckled at myself -- it's not like I had a Blizzard!!! (Or a taste of my son's chocolate brownie sundae).
On the way home, I stopped off at the Brooks Brothers store, and was thrilled to see that I could fit into a size 16. It's been years since I've been able to shop in the Misses Department (instead of the Women's Plus Size Department). That was extremely motivating!!!
I still have my Starbuck's nonfat latte's. Again - not on Protocol. But I enjoyed them during the last round and had great losses.
Can't wait to see what I will weigh on the 4th of July -- I had initially hoped to reach 195 by then. But now, I am thinking I may be able to get to 189. That's a bit ambitious. But what the heck!!!

Hello, found you through 4hcgsuccess boards. So, we're not allowed to have diet soda? From what you wrote, it sounds like it doesn't help weight loss. Boo! That was my "treat"

On the plan I use from my doctor, we are not supposed to have any artificial sweetners, except for Splenda and Stevia. Unfortunately, most of the diet sodas have nutrasweet (aspartame). It may not affect your weight loss. I do find that it increases my cravings. So I pretty much stick to water and iced tea sweetened with splenda (and coffee!!!).
