I had my second weigh in today with the MMC wellness clinic. I lost 1.6 pounds in 4 days. I'm not very thrilled with the number but my husband is. He thinks I did awesome. They told me that it was fat I lost as well(not muscle or water). They can tell with that handy dandy tanita print out.
So my new weight is 192.4. I'm telling you television shows like "The Biggest Loser" make it hard to get excited about a 1-2 pound weight loss. I know it is absurd to think in real life someone would lose 15 pounds in a week but I automatically go there. They did ask me if I get hungry through the day. I wanted to look at her and say "Are you serious?" but I didn't. Of course I am flipping hungry!!! My calorie intake was reviewed and I was told that I was eating on the high end of my calorie restriction (1000 in stead of 900) and she didn't know why I was hungry. Well I am a fatty who just a week ago ate A LOT ALL THE TIME! That would be why my stomach is growling like a caged beast. They gave me a menu guideline and told me I was eating to many carbohydrates so I have to find a way to cut that down. They increased my Phentermine to twice a day and gave me the lipotrophic injection again today. So that's where I am folks. I am hoping next week is better.
I am with Jason - you did great. You lost 1.6 pounds in 4 days, so it wasn't a week. Not to mention any professional out there will tell you the "healthy" way to lose is 1-2 pounds per week. So you are right on where you need to be! Go celebrate with celery sticks and H2O Watermelon ;)
ReplyDeleteOff to a good start, Im seriously so excited for you and this journey you have started!
ReplyDeleteThank you Steph!! I am beyond excited :)
DeleteSounds like you are doing a great job! Do they watch all of your intake such as vitamins? Randy Lee found that B-12 boosts your metabolism and so we take a supplement along with our vitamin each morning. Those are the only pills we take though. My week of major sweet cravings is here and man....... I hear all kinds of sweets calling my name! I get hungry a lot as well so I've started focusing on "more fill for the calorie" and tell myself, it's okay to eat something small in both portion AND calories because I can eat something else that is small in calories later. I snack so much. I love the 90 Calories bars, and cheese sticks (especially mozzarella yum!) help curb my hunger. I have to be careful with the cheese sticks though because the particular ones I have are 80 calories each just for that little stick. But if I eat that and drink 1/4 cup of 1% Milk I am good for a while. You're doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteThey gave me a specific vitamin and fish oil. The amyotrophic injection has b12 in it to help with energy.
ReplyDeleteKelly you think you are so hilarious!
Hahaha - you know I am fuckin funny!
