A Little Less of Me

Hello everybody! I have not been a perfect angel with my eating and exercise plan this week, but I have made improvements. More water, more veggies. Cut waaaaay back on the sugar and starch. While a lot of it is probably water, I have lost 5 pounds this week (10 in the last two weeks) Yea!

Weight: 289.2
Bust: 52.25
Midriff: 50.5
Waist: 52.75
Hips: 59.25

Here is a list of the supplements I am taking. To kick things off, I have begun an intestinal cleansing program. It's mostly fiber with some herbs that assist your body to get rid of excess waste from your digestive tract, liver and kidneys. The brand I'm using is Yerba Prima. It's very important to have regular elimination.
Cod Liver Oil gel tablet (1/day)
5-HTP (2- twice/day) It's the precursor to seratonin, which is a brain chemical that helps improve your sleep, mood and appetite.
B-Complex Sublingual Liquid (Supports the nervous system to ease stress so you don't produce too much cortisol which causes midsection weight gain).
Echinacea Tea (1-2 cups to support the immune system and hold off colds).
A good multivitamin of your choice. I use the WM brand of 1-a-Day's weight loss vitamin.

My first goal is to get below 250 pounds by my birthday in April. Studies show that when weight loss is slow and steady you have a better chance of keeping it off. Changing habits is much more effective than going on a restrictive diet.

I hope anyone who is also making changes will leave comments so we can encourage each other and share successes!
