Well, I’m up 1 pound for my weight loss goal. That means I can’t make that progress bar on the right go down any. That’s not to say there isn’t any progress through!
If you haven’t been with me since the beginning I have challenged myself to lose 10 lbs by the end of this year. I’m so happy to know that many of you think I can do more than that. We will have to see, I know I’d be delighted! You can follow my progress on The Iron Gate Blog in the right hand sidebar.
I entered my food in my food diary every single day last week. I exercised on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. I’m beginning to feel a little better and I have stronger goals for this coming week. I’ve put my weight loss stats in the sidebar as well so that if you are a numbers person like I am you can see the actual results as they happen. I also intend on posting my progress pictures (yikes). Stay tuned for that. UPDATE: Here they are, click here.
Master has done great with reigning me in and tasking me to exercise and watch what I eat; almost like a nagging mom. But it’s working and I hope he doesn’t stop.
Today I do 30 mins of cardio and eat under 2000 calories. I have to get my water intake back up to 80 oz as I didn’t have more than 30 oz yesterday. I can’t let myself slack one bit!

Hi Luna,I'm a regular reader, and I'm also dieting myself. I'd strongly recommend a book called "The Formula" by Gene and Joyce Daoust (here's a link: http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thdidi-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0345443063). My doctor recommended this, and it really works. The basic logic behind it is to always consume 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat, so your glycemic levels stay the same, and you burn fat, not muscle. (Apparently as we get older, we lose the ability to efficiently burn carbs.)I hope this helps! I've found that it's made a world of difference for me. J
J,
Thank you so much for the book suggestion. If the going gets rough I may pick up the book. Right now my own little plan of an entire life change seems to be working well.
i'm having trouble posting but wanted to try again anyway.
i wanted to let you know that i'm on a journey myself and i am here in the background, cheering you on. i wish you great success!
Hi luna! I finally made it to this page to read some. I am so proud of you for what you have done so far. If you ever need any help, I lost 100 lbs over the last 2 years w/ Weight Watchers. It's a very gradual journey & you are doing very well w/ keeping your goals realistic. I'm impressed. I have not been doing the plan but after 2 years it's still in my head, I have been doing a decent job maintaining. I have proven to myself I can stay the same weight for a year now. I think after the holidays I will try to go down the rest of my weight. Master of course tells me he doesn't like small women, but I think Master will love me anyway I am, & I think over all he wants me healthy. So this may be a fight later between Master & I but I think I'll start letting him know now. It's always a pleasure my dear & I hope I can come see you this weekend! Keep up the awesome work! Btw the Chicken noodle soup, whole grain baguette & an apple added on at Panera is a great meal & only 6 WW pts! Very low in calories & high in fiber.
