2017 SEP 14 -- Day 26

Woo! I did it! I achieved my first short-term goal! The scale said 399.2 lbs three 3 times in a row. I'm so excited about this. I'm under 400 lbs! It's only slightly under, and there's a good chance it will go back up a bit for a day or so, but I'm taking it. I hit the goal, and it is a confirmed 399.2 lbs! I had to step on and off the scale many times to be certain, but three times in a row is three times in a row!

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 399.2 lbs ⇩ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 399 lbs

Time to make a new short-term goal. I think 10 lbs is reasonable, so I plan to try getting under 390 lbs. New goal: 389.9 lbs or under. Incidentally, 389 is what I weighed when I was a freshman in high school. How amazing is that? I'm 10 lbs away from weighing what I did about 25 years ago! I'm just glad it's not going to take another 25 years to get back down there.

My first 30 days on this SLD diet is almost up. I have achieved some great things. I thought I had started at 415 lbs. I measured initially at 404.8 lbs once I got my scale. Then I shot up to 410.6 lbs. If I do the math from when I was at 415 lbs, it's a loss of 15.8 lbs. From the 410.6 lbs mark,  I'm down 10.8 lbs. And from 404.8 lbs, I'm down 5.6 lbs.

Looking at the graph, SLD truly started for me after the Evil Pizza of Doom incident on Day 13. From Day 13 -- when I weighed 410.4 lbs -- to now -- 13 days later on Day 26 -- I dropped an astonishing 11.4 lbs. I like those numbers!

Achieved my first short-term goal graph:

I am more motivated than ever! Let's keep this going!

2018 AUG 2 -- Day 113

My weight is down to 340.6 lbs again today, but that's what it has been every other day for the past 5 days. This is not encouraging. I like that it's gone down instead of up, but it's still not as far down as I'd hoped. I'm not feeling great about my progress at the moment. I'm beginning to doubt I can succeed with my ultimate weight loss goal at all. Am I losing inches, maybe? I don't know. I don't feel like I have, but I'm too afraid to measure myself. What if I haven't lost inches or if I have gained inches? I would be so discouraged! Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  340.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs My blood glucose readings were in the 120s when I first started measuring, but now they are staying in the 150 to 160 range. Every now and then they get into the 190s or 200s. That's fairly frightening. Why is my blood glucose so high? I read that there is possibly glucose in  my fat cells th...

2018 JUL 28 -- Day 108

I have lost a little bit of weight from yesterday to today, but I'm still not too happy. I am about three pounds heavier than where I should be right now. I know it's because food inevitably causes weight gain, and breaking my fast two days a week will invariably make my weight bounce back a bit. While I have to accept it, I don't have to like it. Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  339  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I was feeling a bit yuck from a combination of my fight with the porcelain fairy and the stress I've been under. I decided that eating would be a good idea today, so I had a salad with a nice, fat-infused Italian dressing I had made and some feta cheese and a few cherry tomatoes. It was really tasty. I also ate about an ounce or two of pork rinds. You'd be surprised at how many rinds are in a single ounce. They are a bit difficult to weight, though. I had quite a handful of them. Likely, it was two h...

2018 JUL 30 -- Day 110

I gained 3 lbs. I hate that I gained 3 lbs. I made the decision to change my eating regime and start eating when I feel hungry. I ate with my husband when we got home from work yesterday. We had taco salads. It was good, but I am now 3 lbs heavier than I was yesterday. This doesn't make me feel good. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  341  lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I had about the same amount of actual salad that he had, but while he had an Italian Romaine blend of lettuce, I had a spring mix with baby spinach. I also drank almost my entire 7-cup bottle of water -- maybe 5 cups of it. I know that fiber retains water, so I'm hoping that when I eliminate the salad as waste, I will lose this 3 lbs and then some. We shall see and only time will tell. I feel good, though. I feel better than I have in several days. That's telling. Have I been severely dehydrated, maybe? I don't know. Have I been missing out ...
