206.4 (9:45am)

It's now Friday evening. I am supposed to go to my mom and dad's tomorrow morning and stay for the day or maybe even two. I have been successful for so long now, that I am just kinda used to it now. I don't fear the terror that I normally feel when facing this sort of a "situation" while in the midst of a "diet". I really plan to continue to eat low carb tomorrow and weigh and measure whatever food I eat. My mom has a digital scale that I can use to weigh and measure my foods, so I plan to keep on track as well as I can. I don't think I will be able to pre-plan my macro-nutrients like I normally do, but I think I can do pretty well. I don't want to be overconfident though and will try to watch out for that.

I have been able to start wearing some size 16s again... which has been super, super exciting. I almost for a while there, didn't even feel like it would be possible to get back into 16s. Now I feel like I should be able to at least get back into 12s, if not into 10s. I am not to worried anymre about getting there as quickly as possible... I think if I get there slowly, I should end up with better skin recovery. (At least I hope so!)

206.8 (11am)

It feels kinda surreal to be within 7 pounds of my initial goal of getting back to 199.8 (under 200 lbs!!!!). My projected date is still around September 20th. My calories have gone up slightly (I have had 3 higher calorie, yet still only low carb items days since starting on June 20th). My average is now 797.2 calories per day since June 20th. The three higher calorie days were each around 1800 if I remember correctly. Some 16's are now fitting me! I "almost" feel as if I am regular American chubby again (rather than "obese" looking). It's super exciting to just be feeling so much better in my skin and in my clothes.

209.2 (9:45am) Woohoo!!! 95 FBG

210.8 (8:45) 95FBG

210.6 (9:15am) 100 FBG

211.0 (9:00 am)

212.0 (7:15am) 95 FBG (7:15am)

211.6 (8:45am) 104 FBG

213.4 (7am) 76 FBG @ 9am after doing a bunch of manual work

That 76 FBG is the lowest I have ever seen by far. Weird. I didn't think exercise would affect it that much.

212.8 (9am)

213.4 (9:30am) 103 FBG

214.6 (11am) 94 FBG

This is my second day at this weight. I feel way skinnier than I used to. I probably don't look way skinnier... but it is super exciting to feel so much better in my own body. I struggled last night and took a pill around 7pm. That makes either the 4th or 5th pill I've taken since getting them. I went in for a refill the other day, so I have around 145 left I think. I think I will go in again this next month and get another refill. I need enough to get down to my goal weight. I notice that I seem to struggle more on days where I have reached a new low weight.

215.2 (8:15am) 97 mg/dL FBG

Pre-dinner blood sugar 88. =)

216.6 (9:45am) 99 FBG

218.4 (11am) FBG 101 mg/dL

I ended up eating 1771 calories yesterday (120g F, 63.5 - 17.5=46g Net C, 120 g Protein yesterday). I was super excited to see this weight this morning. I expected to even possibly be over 220, so that means I am well on my way to getting under 215, if I just keep focused. Once I get under 216, I will be lower than I have been in like 7 years? So that will be super exciting. I am still really trying to only focus on the 5 pound increments. It seems to be a lot better for me mentally. Also, what is interesting, is you really can tell when you've lost five pounds. You can feel it in your clothes and when you move around.

218.2 (9:30am)

Finally, I feel like I am on a downward trend again. =)

Today marks Period Day 1, so maybe it was just high progesterone levels that were keeping me higher.
