47 pounds. So.....feeling a great sense of accomplishment. Starting on the day after my birthday back in January, I decided to start trying to get healthier. Figured someday was here. Changed my diet. Eliminated all baked goods including bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. No more fast food. Limited processed foods. Started eating fresh vegetables, fruits and berries, mostly white meats (beef twice a month, just cant give it up entirely) seafood, salads, eggs. The results, tomorrow makes 7 months and as of this moment Ive lost 47 lbs. I feel great. Started Chantix again so on my way to being a non smoker as well. Also eliminated all of my pain medication. The only downside is keeping up with my wardrobe. The first time you need to buy new clothes is exciting. The fourth time is just an expensive pain in the ass. Have retired 10 suits, 26 sportcoat, and a gazillion pairs of slacks. Even my shoe size shrank! Im now within 16 lbs of my target weight according to the MD. Lbs still coming off, though more slowly now. Cant believe Ive reached this point, but rely thrilled that I have.
