Rabbits and Turtles United New Year Challenge

I started at 220 and I finally broke through to 218.

My NSV for the week: I pulled every piece of clothing out of my closet that was larger than a size 20. I now own 5 shirts!!! Guess it's time to go shopping...

I haven't lost anything since Oct 15 and have gained two pounds but at least its only 2 - so I guess that's a kind of victory.

NSV - Went out to a party.

I have started journaling everything - as of yesterday. At least I will be confessing my mistakes.

No weight change.

NSV: In the regular economy section of an airplane this weekend, the tray table didn't touch me when I took it down. I used to have to lean my seat back so that I could bring it down all the way and it still hit my belly.

Gosh, I have been so sporadic.... But I had another NSV - at least I think it was an NSV.

A co-worker asked me if I had lost weight. Basically, I have cheekbones again - which she noticed.

:]

1/3/16 214 lbs

1/31/06 212 lbs

2/2/06 210 lbs

I am not doing so hot on the loss. I even had a tiny refill up to 1.5 ccs. Hmmm.

NSV- I have had at least 6 different people ask if I am losing weight this week. I havent even lost that much but I think it makes a lot of difference in my size and looks. I know that putting on that last 15-20 lbs took about a year and really was the final straw,,, flat out looked FAT, face and eyes looked fat and puffy, started hiding under loose shirts (trying to, lol).

NSV 2- this one is the BIG ONE!!! I have been given the okay to start cutting my Actos in half, only 15mg now. With the lower carb intake my doctor thinks I will be fine on lower dose now. We'll see, but blood sugars have been really good for weeks!

I had to edit this because the very day after this post I hit 210 and again the next day 210. I had been seeing 210-212 but didnt believe it yet, lol!

Hmm I thought I lost but I guess not lol. Saw the scale thought I lost a pound but looked at my ticker and nope.

NSV: Finally got the approval for my surgery
