Wk #1 Weigh-In: The War With Sugar

Starting Weight:   208.6
Wk #1 Weight:    205.2
Loss:                    3.4 pounds

WOW.  I'm kind of shocked.  I knew I had a problem with sugar but I didn't realize it was this bad.  Of course this whole week could be water weight.  This next week will be the true test.

I did fall off from the sugar wagon yesterday.  My kids have been sick and I'm getting sick so I bought two comfort foods that I have no business partaking in.

Soda and M&M's.  

I need to find a new way to deal with stress and a different comfort food.  Like Broccoli.

  1. That's awesome Connie! I miss the days of losing 3 pounds in a week, I'm such a slacker.

    I try to like broccoli - I just can't do it.

    But you go! You go and find comfort in broccoli!!!

    I hope you guys start feeling better soon. :)

  3. Excellent start. Sugar is a tough one but you didn't do too bad at all. Well done. x

  4. Great job! Sugar is like crack - completely addicting and hard to stay away from. At least I think - since I have never done crack. Keep up the good work and try to avoid the sweets!

  5. For falling off the wagon you did a great job on the scale. You have a great loss.

    When I am bummed and need some comfort food I will go for a diet soda and a spoonful (or 2) of almond butter with some cinnamon.

    Most of the time it at least gets rid of my sugar craving. I hope you can work something out!

  6. That's a great loss! Good for you! I am having to scale back my fruit intake because of the sugar issue. I'm hoping to see a difference. I HATE to give up my natural smoothie breakfast drink, but if it will get the weight off faster, I'm in!

    Keep it up, Connie! Almost to 100's! EEKK! :)

  7. Great job! Don't try to trivialize by saying it is something else. Weight is weight. Own it.

  9. Good job!! Gluten seems to be bad for most people. Can't wait to see how you feel @ the end of 34 days.
