I can't believe it's already been 7 weeks!! Time has flown by, and the pounds have melted off... I still have a ways to go, but I'm feeling so great!
Today's weight loss was...-2.5 lbs! Total of 18.5 lbs in 7 weeks! WHOOHOO....!
Since I started becoming a Health Coach, I also now have 2 clients, and another potential client I am meeting with tomorrow! So happy to start helping others on their own healthy journey!
Pictures to come NEXT week :) That will be my 2 months!
Love you all!!

Week 6 (7 Weeks since I started TSFL for the 1st time)
Well, I think I'm going to call myself the "2lb Loser" - because that seems to be my average weight loss now. I'm NOT complaining :) I'm happy to see that number GONE every week! Today, I weigh 172...for the LAST time :)
This week I made a big decision... I decided to become a Health Coach! I'm really excited about this. I know I've only lost 17 lbs. thus far - but I know I'm on the right path - and why not try to coach others along as I'm being coached myself?? I really believe I can help someone else! I totally believe in TSFL and Medifast - so why not?
So - yet another NEW adventure for me :)
My life is a very busy one. I homeschool 4 kids - who are ALL involved in a lot of extra curricular activities - and so I'm chauffeuring a lot, volunteering at their events, etc. Plus all the birthday parties, weddings, soon to be graduation parties, etc.... And this program is DO-ABLE through all of this! Stick to the plan - it WILL work for you!!! :)

Week 5
Stepped on the scale, -2 lbs :) My weight is 174 - I'm down 15 lbs. since I stepped on that scale 6 weeks ago! Whoo Hoo!
Last week at church was the first time someone 'noticed' that I'd lost weight. Someone that I hadn't told I was trying to lose weight. That was a great feeling!! I'm looking forward to Vacation this summer - we will go see my brother in North Dakota... can't wait to see his expression!!
I don't have a lot to say this time... Couple of really "hungry" moments this week - but I just drank a bottle of water, and waited for my 3 hours to get here...I like having more "on the go" foods (pretzels, bars, etc.,) because we are so busy this season with 3 of my kids in a big theater production of The Little Mermaid. That has taken a HUGE portion of our time... so having things in my purse, that I don't have to prepare, has been AWESOME.
Until next time....

Week 4 - ONE MONTH
I was a little nervous stepping on the scale this morning. My hubby and I just came back from a weekend trip, and although I "believe" I did well, it's still hard to gauge how much MEAT I'm getting...is it enough? Or too much??
So - Onto the scale I stepped....and the needle went down to 176!!!! I lost 2.5 lbs since last Monday and a One Month TOTAL of 13 lbs.
I also took my measurements again.. Here they are...
BACK - 37.5" (-1.75") BUST - 40.75" (-2.25")
WAIST - 38.5" (-2") HIPS - 43.5" (-2.5")
Rt ARM - 13.75" (-1.5") Rt. THIGH - 28 (-.5")
Not too shabby, Right? For one month - I can definitely tell in my clothes. I've gone down a pant size. Luckily I still have "some" things from my thinner days - in hopes of, "One day I'll fit back into this...". Well, I'm finally seeing "One Day" starting to happen. Obviously I have further to go, but what a great start!
TSFL has GREAT, tasty foods. This month, I selected more "on the go" foods, as I found I ran out of those last month. So I ordered a lot more bars, pretzels and puffs. I'm a busy mom of 4 kids who are always on the go -so I am keeping some (non-melting) things in each of my vehicles...just in case - and YES, I have had to use those a couple times!
Ok...here are my Pictures (UGH)...I still hate taking pictures of myself. Will that ever change?
Can you tell a difference from Week 1??? :)

Week 3
April Fools....yes, today is April 1, 2013...and my scale was playing a mean trick on me. I lost 1/2 a lb. I know I should be happy with a loss...and really, truly, I am. But I'm disappointed too... I think I would have been ok with 1 lb., but 1/2???
So, I had to start thinking back on what I did over the week, and honestly, I did "almost" everything right. After my talk with my Health Coach, Kim, I realized when I was eating chicken...I was forgetting my healthy fat. That's important.
I'm also changing up my lean & green time to eat. I normally eat it at dinner with my family, but I"m going to eat it for lunch a couple days, and see if that does anything.
So, ONWARD and FORWARD...disappointments and all. I will NOT give up the fight...
