…so far 11.4lbs. I was having a hard time and had actually gone up for 3 weeks in a row, but I stuck to it and this week I saw results. Lyds has suggested I post the recipe for Cellophane Noodles w/ Pork which has been a godsend for me.
I stuck to it and refocussed my energies and the result has been that I have broken the 10lb barrier. My next goal is to break the 15lb barrier – small goals, that’s why I am looking at this, achieving small goals/milestones is the best way to focus on my overall need to lose nearly 100lbs.
I weighed myself yesterday, Sunday, and there was no change; no weight loss. At first I was a little disheartened but then I told myself this is okay, I haven’t gained anything and I am due to get my period in about 4 days… so there could be water retention.
I intend on powering through this and hopefully next Sunday I can see some results.
I have also decided to increasing my walking as I wasn’t too thrilled with how little I did last week, averaging 6000 paces per day. I want that up to atleast 10,000 per day.
I also need to re-focus myself with regards to food. Last night I made a low-carb/non-lactose chicken curry. I bought 1kg of skinless chicken breasts yesterday and threw them into a pot with one onion, 3 cloves of garlic, one 16oz tin of chopped tomatoes and a lot of curry powder.
Today I have had, so far:
Breakfast – 3 rashers of bacon, 2 large eggs fried with mushrooms, onion, tomato and green pepper
Lunch – 2c salad (with tomato, cucumber and a small splash of italian dressing), 1c curry with 2c steamed cauliflower
Dinner – my mom is taking me out, but I get to choose where, so I’m thinking Le Marche as I could get some roasted chicken and salad or steamed veggies there.
I have just weighed myself and I feel good 
I have lost 5 pounds…woohoo!
I’m feeling slightly content, not completely, but I’m still in a good zone.
Woke up this morning and had my 2 eggs scrambled with onion and mushrooms, and 4 rashers of bacon. Lunch, which I just finished, was 2.5c of cauliflower (I found yesterday that 2c didn’t satisfy me and I was quite famished by the time I had dinner), with some curried chicken.
Not sure what to do for dinner. Diresquirrel, who had been staying with me for several days was doing all the cooking. He’s gone as of this afternoon so I don’t have my “personal chef” anymore. I think I’ll just do a quick and simple stirfry.
Neris & India suggest purchasing certain supplements, but I haven’t done that yet and I’m not quite sure if I will. They recommend chromium (200mcg chromium polynicotinate), coenzyme Q10, vitamin C tablets and a multi-vitamin with no iron. I do take a multi-vitamin each day, mostly because due to my lactose intolerance I am not getting enough of the necessary nutrients for my bones through my regular eating habits.
I know it has only be a slightly more than 24 hours since I started this diet, but I am feeling a certain looseness around my waist, in my trousers.
I started this diet at 255lb, standing at 5′5″. To not dishearten myself I should keep myself to only stepping onto the scales once a week. I think I shall do that on Sunday.
