This week has gone up, not down, but I am NOT upset in the least. These things happen, and with body chemistry and etc., this sort of thing is bound to happen.
Right off the bat, here are my numbers:
Weight: 376.4
BMI: 66. (eek!) 6
(You know, even though it's just a number, how many of you freak out just a little when you see 666? I'm so glad that next week, THAT number will change! HAHA!)
The cold and rainy spring has translated into dreary conditions not only outside, but in my daily routine. I love that winter is ending, but wish more than anything for the rains to stop, just a little. I would love to see a bit more of the sunshine and blue sky, filled with wisps of lovely clouds for me to photograph... but I digress...
I am sure that after this colder and wetter spell, my spirits will be lifted and I will even become a bit more active as the tell-tale signs of this new season begin to scuttle about, encouraging me to enjoy this earth that God has made.
Look for lower numbers next week, friends! Please leave me your comments below. I would really appreciate the encouragement. :-)
Much love,
Sarah

Stabilization, Once Again!
This past Monday I started into my second round of Stabilization. My 40 days of hCG and low calorie, turned into 35 days, as I accidentally spilled a little of the hCG/Vitamin B mix. Whoops! I was reassured that it would all be okay, and I just kept on the path and began Stabilization a few days early. No harm done.
This week, as I have begun stabilizing, I didn't expect to see dramatic weight loss, and that is okay. Again, my body is working hard to metabolize food properly during this time. So here are the results for this week:
Weight: 374.6
BMI: 66.4
I lost .4 pounds this week, and lost .1 in my BMI. This is still great, as I am losing, just not as quickly. But again, this is the time to train my Hypothalamus to control my metabolism correctly.
I have recently purchased some new clothes... 5X!!!!! I haven't been in a 5X for years. I know I said this 3 weeks ago, but now I am actually wearing them and people are noticing. And I have to say, it feels wonderful to walk into a store and purchase clothes, instead of being forced to buy over the internet because there weren't any other options. I have decided that it's nice to have options. :-)
Take care out there, and enjoy the springtime weather.
Much love,
Sarah

Moving Right Along...
Hi fellow readers and - more importantly - friends. I am steadily losing here, and that is such a great thing. This week I ate more than I think I was supposed to, but all the foods were on my list of allowed foods. I did still lose, but I think I could be doing this better. I promised to my counselor that I would start keeping track of the food I eat on a daily basis, like I am supposed to. This really helps me to understand and see just how scientific and structured this program is.
This week, my weight is down four pounds from last week, and as it should, my BMI has also gone down more.
Weight: 375.0
BMI: 66.5
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I am beginning to love cooking. I know I'm not the best cook, but I am learning, and I really am enjoying the process. And it has only taken about 4 months! :-) And in time, my friend assures me, that I will get better at it and be able to "wow" people with my mad skills!
Have a great week everyone. And God bless you all.
Much love,
Sarah

catch-up and beautiful numbers
Hi friends,
Today is a good day. Getting weighed and measured is usually encouraging, and this time around was no exception. Right off the bat, I will get into the numbers, because I want to compare from the beginning.
Weight: 379.0
BMI: 67.2
Now, to someone who has not been following since the beginning, this doesn't make much of an impact. So today is the day we play "catch-up" for any new readers. I began this journey at 450 pounds, with a BMI of 76.5.
I have, to date, lost a total of 71 pounds, and dropped 9.3 points in my BMI.
And even with all of this terrific news, I still find myself tempted to quit this program. I know I won't, mainly because I just can't quit, and also because I have two friends and an entire church body that simply wouldn't allow it. :-) And for that I am grateful.
So thank you for following, and thank you for praying for me as well. The One whom I truly couldn't do this without is my Savior, Jesus Christ. I give Him all the glory and praise for this path He has set my feet upon. I will continue my journey till its completion.
Much love,
Sarah
