Just a quick update

Hey everyone!  I know I have been kinda MIA since I hit my 28 days mark, but you know how it is when life gets in the way.  Anyway, I will be taking pictures this week to update at my 6 week mark, but the cool thing is that I weighed myself this morning before doing my Wii Fit and Wii Zumba.  The bathroom scale said 150 lbs and the Wii said 148.8 lbs so I think I will go with the Wii weight.  That makes 12lbs lost in 6 weeks time.  Almost half-way to my goal of 135lbs!!  Stay tuned for pictures (and I still have 2 videos to upload to YouTube as well).

Day 28 (end of week 4)

So here I am at the end of 28 days (4 weeks) on the Roca Labs No Surgery Mini Gastric Bypass Effect.  I have lost a total of 7.4 lbs since day 1 and 15" over all.  My weight loss would be more if I had been working out everyday, but I wasn't feeling good the last few days and I wasn't watching what I ate.  Over all I am please with my results so far because this just shows me that I can lose the weight that I want and adjust the way I eat.  Before I used to fill a large dinner plate and just eat it all or when we would go out I would eat everything on my plate of what I ordered, but now I am barely able to get through half a meal when we go out and at home I use one of the smaller plates and eat about the same as my children.  I see only more progress in my future and I will be reaching my initial target goal 140 lbs.  Here is my measurements from the last 4 weeks.

	1/24/12	1/31/12	2/7/12	2/14/12	2/21/12	28 Day Loss
Weight	160.8	155.6	155	153.6	153.4	7.4

Hips	43	41.5	41	40.5	39.5	3.5

Lbs Lost		5.2	0.6	1.4	0.2	7.4
Inches		9	2.5	3	0.5	15

I'm really looking forward to starting week 5 tomorrow and seeing how much more of this stubborn baby weight I can take off.  Thank you all for sticking with me and the support that I have received.

Week 3 Day 2

My lunch today: Weight Watchers Chicken Salad on white bread (not a fan of wheat), 100 calorie pack Cheese Nips, Yoplait Light Very Cherry (with anti-craving formula in it), and 24oz bottle water with Xenadrine drink mix.

So as you can see I have started this blog post off a little different with a picture of my lunch today.  Total calories for this is 557.  So as of this morning I am still sitting at 155 lbs (5.8lb lost) but I think I am at my plateau, which makes it a good time to add my Oxy Elite Pro fat burner.  I like this fat burner because out of all of them that we (my husband and I) have tried this is the only one that worked for both of us.  Last time I took it (April 2010 - October 2010 - following the dosage instructions) I lost 25lbs with out regular exercise.  So I'm sure you are all wondering about updated stats, so here you go:

New measurements are:
Bust : 37 (.5 inches)
Waist: 26.5 (.5 inches)
Stomach: 35.5 (1 inches)
Hips: 41 (.5 inches)
Thigs: 24 (0 inches)

I'm still doing my regular Zumba and ChaLean Extreme (started week 2 yesterday).  Hopefully with the addition of the fat burner I will have a loss this week.

Week 2 Day 4

Ok I am a day late with the update, but sometimes life gets in the way :) plus I haven't had a loss since Wednesday so I didn't feel the need to update.  Anyway when I weighed myself this morning I had lost another .4 lbs so I am now up to 5.6 lb total loss so far.  I did Zumba three time this week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday) I also started my ChaLean Extreme program as well.  My muscles are sore but not as bad as I thought they would be.  My biggest problem is that I would really like to have something major sweet (like chocolate) but I really can't because I don't want to go backwards.  I also know that as I start to build muscle mass I am going to "gain" weight simply because muscle is denser than fat, so I will HAVE to rely on my measurements to to be able to continue to see results.

Week 2 Day 1

Well Hello once again and welcome to Day 1 of Week 2 of my Roca Labs Journey.  No change in weight from yesterday, but it's better than a gain.  After completing week one I am happy to report that I have lost 5.2 lbs and 9 inches over all. Yay!

New measurements are:
Bust : 37.5 (2.5 inches)
Waist: 27 (2 inches)
Stomach: 36.5 (1.5 inches)
Hips: 41.5 (1.5 inches)
Thigs: 24 (1.5 inches)

Today that I started my ChaLean Extreme challenge in addition to the hour of Zumba I did this morning.  I got to Zumba 5x a week and the ChaLean program consists of 5 workout days and 2 off days (w/o - off - w/o (x4) - off).

Week 1 Day 7

I got up this morning thinking it was time to start week 2, until I looked at my blog and saw that I started my journey on January 25th and not the 24th like I was thinking as I went to bed last night.  Oh well not that big of a deal.  So here we are on day 7 of week 1.  The evil white box (starting to not be so evil) says 155.6 lbs, that means I have lost a total of 5.2 lbs this last week, not to shabby :)  I also did incorporate a couple days of Zumba here at home, but today will be the first day that I am back in the regular Zumba class.  Tomorrow I will start my ChaLean Extreme program.  I am waiting until tomorrow since it will be the start of week 2.  Pictures and updated measurements will be posted tomorrow as I start week 2.

Week 1 Day 5

Ok so I have decided that I am going to blog/weigh every other day (so I don't get obsessive about the evil white box) and vlog once a week.  So this morning I only have a .4 lb loss, but it's better than a gain I guess.  I think I may have over done it a little bit yesterday.  I had a Temptations Party last night and ate 3 double chocolate chip cookies (the last one around 11pm).  I'm still learning the happy medium as far as calorie intake goes.  I don't want to eat too much, but then again I don't want to eat to little.  I have a post-op check up tomorrow so fingers crossed I get my all clear to return to my regular workout level.  I am really excited to start ChaLean Extreme and get this extra weight off and slim down!  I also found out that apple juice and strawberry orange banana crystal light works well for the formula too :)
