Alright here it goes.... I thought I would give this a try and be very honest with myself and everyone who reads this. I am 5'8' & currently weigh 234 lbs. I am actually very active/mobile for my size but as anyone could expect after 4 years of steadily gaining weight the aches and pains are starting to kick in.

My husband is an expert in Functional Medicine so I really have no excuse. I have all of the knowledge and resources at my disposal to be successful but choose not to. I am hoping by being a part of this group I will have some accountability and support to help get me through.

    You say you have chosen not to be successful... I'm thinking you just got past that. Welcome.

    Day One

    The first day wasn’t bad. I made a smoothie for breakfast, salad for lunch, avocado for a snack, and watermelon for dinner. I felt a little hungry still. The avocado seemed to be the most satisfying so I went and bought more as a stand by. I am proud of myself for getting through day one—I know that seems like a small accomplishment, but when you come home to brownies, lobster rolls, and sweet potato fries on the kitchen counter it’s a little tempting.

    Day Two was great. I had a tremendous amount of energy, but I had a hard time calming down all nght to go to bed. I woke up about 3am with an excruciating head and neck ache! I'm waiting for my husband to wake up so I can get an adjustment. It still hurts so I didn't sleep good at all

    Starting W: 234lbs
    End of day 1: 231
    Today: 228
