My Weigh - Great Weight Loss!!!!

Make sure to take a look at My Weight Loss Blog Directory!!!




The new diet is going well!  I have not had any cravings, except last night.  I wanted pickles.  They don't have a problem with the carbs, it's the salt.  I ate three pickle wedges.  I was then worried that it would mess with my weigh-in today.   I knew I had been doing really well and I was afraid when I got on the scale this morning, I would not see a good loss.  Well, surprise, surprise!!!  

I also stopped at the blood pressure machine at the grocery store yesterday to just take a quick check on my blood pressure.  I have been on two meds since last year.  

I went on the first med several years ago.  At the time I went on it I was wearing a size 4 and walking at least 3 miles a day.  

With both meds my blood pressure had been hovering around 120/80.  When I checked it yesterday it was, drum roll please, 98/71.  

I am hoping to get off at least one blood pressure med when I go back to the doctor.  I am also planning on getting off the cholesterol medicine he put me on last year.  My cholesterol wasn't that high, he just thought I should go ahead and take it as a preventative.

Thanks Jorge Cruise!!

    1. Yes I went back and added the amount to make it easier to read. I am so excited!! I really didn't expect this big of loss after already watching things for so long. I really expected 3-4 pounds. I know it will slow down in the next week or so, but I don't care.

  7. Holy smokes,6 lbs, that is great Betty! I tend to crave salty things so once in a while I will have a pickle just to get the salt and crunch. It sure is better than eating a whole bag of potato chips.

    1. It was a remarkable week. I really am enjoying this diet. Pickles are one of my favorites. And it is so much better than eating the bag of potato chips.
