So...here it is...picture time. :P
WEEK ONE: DAY ONE
WEEK TWO: DAY ONE
WEEK THREE: DAY ONE
Oops - I guess I didn't take a picture that morning! Sorry!!
WEEK FOUR: DAY ONE
FINAL!
DAY ONE: FOUR WEEKS LATER:
So far, it's mostly my face, neck, and ankles. Sorry I didn't get a picture of my ankles. The ridiculous part is that I always have thin ankles...they just get even skinnier.
Anyway! I wanna do a little recap of the last four weeks...
For the first week I did the cabbage soup diet. http://www.cabbage-soup-diet.com/ I lost 7.5 pounds and really didn't have many issues making it through each day. There is always a "better day" coming up to look forward to and the soup really is good! I will plan to do this once again after my next 30 days is up, for sure.
The next three weeks were Slim Fast! I followed the 3-2-1 Plan of 3 snacks per day, 2 Slim Fast shakes or bars, and 1 "sensible" meal. The first week I ate the meal at dinner. No big issues just a lot of hunger during the day and then a hard time of stopping once the allotted 500-calories were done at night. Second week the meal was at lunch. This was my absolute favorite! I highly recommend doing the plan this way. I wasn't too hungry by lunch time and I was still feeling happy at dinner. Third week I ate breakfast as my meal and this was just downright awful. I wasn't able to do it the full week...made it 5 days and then switched things up a little bit over the weekend. It was just too hard to be excited about eating a balanced breakfast (like, vegetables at 7:30 am?) that early in the morning and my stomach had long forgotten about the food by 3 pm.
Total pounds lost (for those of you who hate math): 18.5 pounds!!!
For those who pledged in the beginning here is the $ breakdown...
$1 - $18.50
$0.50 - $9.25
$0.40 - $7.40
My sons each pledged a nickel, so I will be collecting $0.92 from their piggy banks this morning! Ha, ha, ha.
Starting today I will be eating based on the Atkins diet plan and working out every day between 10 and 40 minutes. I have one video called The 30-day Body Makeover from Gold's Gym, and I will be alternating between a couple of Denise Austin's "Hit the Spot" videos. Abs and Buns.
Thank you everyone for helping me say goodbye (for good!) to those 18 pounds!!
