Final weekly update
Congrats, Jennifer!
I hope that you will still continue to post here.... Even though you are officially in maintenance, posting here may help you keep to maintanence goal. You have alot of good support here to help you keep up the great work!!!! -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net "Jennifer Austin" wrote in message ... Ok folks, this is the last weekly update I'm posting. I'm 5 weeks into my transition to regular food and my new WOE from the HMR fast. I now attend a weekly maintenance class instead of a weight loss one. At weigh in this week my weight hadn't changed from last week and in order to give my metabolism a better chance to recover, I'm continuing on the 1300 cal/day plan with HMR entrees, shakes, and a minimum of 5 veggies and fruits each day. The good news is that I found out veggie burgers and veggie dogs count as veggie servings so I can now include them if I want. Technically I can eat what I want but right now the entrees are very easy and convenient while I continue to deal with other issues. I will add more foods as I gain comfort and as I need to in order to be at the weight I desire. This morning at Curves I had my monthly weigh in and measure. Of the 8 pounds I lost over the course of the last month, 7 were body fat. I started weighing and measuring at Curves after the first month of HMR and a 25 pound loss. I hadn't let them do it in the year I was there prior because of embarassment. Anyway, here's the before/after results: Befo 2/4/03 -- After: 10/28/03 Bust: 51" -- 36" Waist: 47" -- 29.5" Abdomen: 58" -- 37.75" Hips: 56.5" -- 37" Thighs: 29" -- 21" Arms: 17.75" -- 10.75" Weight: 275 -- 143 BF%: 47% -- 22.6% I've also gone from a size 28 to an 8. My current goals are to stay between 140-145 and keep my exercise at a minimum of 2500 cal/week. As a medium framed 5'5" woman, my ideal weight is 135ish but my doctor said that I need to account for the loose skin and I should NOT be consciously attempting to lose more weight, though if I lose a few more pounds while transitioning, it's ok and better than rushing the transition and gaining a bunch. Now I get to find out what my new "normal" is since I will NOT be going back to my old WOE or WOL. It's sort of like being reborn and I really do feel like I have a whole new life, though I am still the same old bitch I was before - just with nicer wrapping so I get away with it more often I was coronated as Queen Bitch at work last week so it's official. Jenn (It's good to be the queen) 300/143 officially in maintenance as of 10/28/03 |
