  1. Day 10 - I got the scale to work and...

    I'm down 4 lbs since April 1st! Wow... I have been the same weight for about 11 months. I had a baby in Aug 2005, weighed 196 when she was born. I am 5'6". Lost down to 170 on my own, then joined Weight Watchers (still was doing SAD including meat then) and lost to 140. That was almost a year ago and have stayed right around 140 since.

Well, give me some of that!

But I'm back and not trying to think about the past because there is nothing I can change about it except to learn from it. I get Alissas RAW oats today and I can't wait. I might just soak them for ...

  4. First day whoppee!

    Oh dear, what a disaster. Went to the shopping centre (very local type) and tried to find a cafteria that did salads for lunch. All the salads were full of ham or mayonaise etc...this was a basic shopping centre, nothing sophisticated. Got a fish thing as it seemed the most healthiest, and came with carrots (baby girl can eat carrots) but it was disgusting and processed. I am trying to keep breakfast and lunch raw and only dinner cooked. Cannot go go full raw just yet. Too extreme as ...
