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.

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).
