pegkerrToday I dropped below 150 pounds for the first time since . . . since I don't remember when. Five or seven years, I think.
Since the end of August, I've lost seven pounds, four and a half inches off my waist and an inch off my hips. I think I'm going to buy a CD to reward myself.
SparkPeople really works.

It's just being a little more mindful, and it's actually fun to see my nutrition report every day, and figure out what nutrients I've gotten enough of and what I am missing. I am sure when I have my next doctor's appointment, I will give her a number of my charts, and that will give her a much better idea of what I am doing, too.
For years, I couldn't lose weight, and I kept moaning, "I just don't know why!" SparkPeople makes it possible to figure out why. For me, I discovered that my diet was pretty healthy, but my portion sizes were just a little too large. (I've also been short on a few nutrients; now I know which ones and am adjusting my diet accordingly). Now that my portion sizes have been correct, I've been losing weight consistently. As for hunger, it really hasn't been too bothersome. The calorie range that they give you keeps you from getting too hungry, and you just plan ahead. I'm not really an emotional eater, so that hasn't been an issue much.

Date: 2006-10-12 07:37 pm (UTC)SparkPeople is indeed most excellent. I keep meaning to thank you for posting about it -- I've lost 19 pounds since about mid-August using SparkPeople, and I'm not sure I'd have found it if you hadn't posted about it.
