182. How that happened, I can never say!
(My boyfriend suggests all the whiskey dehydrated me, and he may actually be onto something there).
My BMI is now 31.35. Since starting this diet the second time a month ago, I've lost 2.5 pounds, and since the beginning of my whole dieting adventure a year ago (55 weeks, to be exact), I've lost 20 pounds. Bleh.
It's time for measurements again this week. Compare with this post.
| Neck: | 14.25* |
| Bust: | 41.5* |
| Waist: | 34.5* |
| Upper Arm: | 13 |
| Lower Arm: | 10* |
| Wrist: | 6.25* |
| Hips: | 44 |
| Upper Thigh: | 24.5* |
| Calf: | 15.5 |
| Ankle: | 8.25* |
Hmm. Interesting. Maybe I can double that for next month...

So glad to see you're still sticking with it.
It's really nice to know that someone else out there stuggles as much as I do! Maybe "nice" isn't the right word... but I'm sure you know what I mean!
On a side note regarding a previous post, please please please don't start the Atkins diet!! I've tried all sorts of diets in the past and have done more than my fair share of research about each one, and maybe it is easier to lose weight on Atkins... but definitely not as healthy as other ways of losing weight!
It does not support healthy weight-loss or eating plans and you lose a lot of nutrients your body should be getting.
AND, the weight comes back way too easily when/if you begin eating carbs again.
I've been losing weight so slowly, but in a way, I'm glad. I know that it'll be that much harder for me to put it back on in the future... not like I'll be trying to do that, but again, you know what I mean!
Good luck!! Keep up the great work!!
Hey Sam,
I do know what you mean and I definitely agree. I like knowing that I'm not alone in the whole process.
And no worries, I definitely won't be doing Atkins ever again. I tried it once a few years ago and felt awful the whole time, then I gained back all the weight plus some as soon as I went off.
I definitely think that gradual weight loss based in eating real food will help me achieve an overall healthier lifestyle that I can actually maintain. I'm sure you'll do the same.
