I weighed in on Thursday and I have lost 3 more pounds! Nothing has really changed, I have just been following the diet and exercising 4 times per week for at least 30 minutes. I guess I had a good week, but there were no real deviations from the routine. I found a very low carb pancake recipe, since I have been craving pancakes:
1 cup almond flour/meal
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 T oil (i used olive oil since it's one of my healthy oils I'm supposed to get every day)
Stir together ingredients and cook on medium in skillet that has been sprayed with Pam or other non-stick cooking spray. Add sugar free syrup, berries, vanilla extract if you like. They are very good!

oops, two weeks have gone by!
Sorry I have not posted for a couple of weeks. Things have been crazy at home and at work.
I have had two weigh ins since my last post. In total, I have lost a total of 18 pounds of fat! My water has varied a bit (last week it was up so much due to my period that i actually gained .9 pounds overall, but my fat was down 10 lbs!) but I am mostly focusing on fat loss. Today on my scale I weighed (it's Thursday, and I am down 19 lbs. woohoo! Almost 20 lbs.
I have been sticking to the diet, exercising 4 times per week for 30 to 45 minutes per day (and eating more protein based on my exercise level) and losing every week.
I am eating a couple of medi-weight loss foods. Protein shakes and protein bars. You can eat all of your own food, but I find these quick and easy ways to get protein in (and also tasty) when I'm bored or in a hurry. I have also found that keeping beef jerky or pork rinds in the car for when I am really hungry on the drive home (i have an hour commute) works well. I just make sure to count the calories for the protein.
That's all for today! Everyone have a good week!
