its day 4 of slowly lowering my calorie intake, drinking more water, cutting out sugary extras, etc. and too soon to weigh myself because I want to wait until the end of the month to do that. But I feel better. My digestive system seems to be more at ease and best of all no visible bloat in my stomach after a meal aka my food baby!! This will keep me going.

What were some of your body's signs towards achieving your goals?

    One day I put on one of my regular pairs of jeans, and they fell down before I even got to my front door, had to go back to the wardrobe and fish out an old belt!

    I didn't really notice that I felt better. It wasn't until I ate some greasy food that I realized eating like that made me feel worse.

    When I cut the pop out, I noticed that I felt better within a couple days. I'd always notice when my salt I take was lower how much better I'd feel after a couple days.

    Other than that, it's just being less fat and having more energy. That comes slowly, at least for me, it does.

    I craved the good food. Fresh & clean tasting. I crave greasy something every once in a while but only 1x a month. Like a hamburger or piece of pizza.

    I noticed nothing. I am one of those that has the mental block that I am losing weight. The first thing that happened though was a co worker asked how much weight I had lost. He said he could see it in the way my shirt fit around the middle.

    I could never eat the way I use to eat. I would easily down a Sonic Breakfast Burrito, some hashbrowns and a Sonic drink, for breakfast. I thought if I had it "meatless" I was eating "healthy". Major eyeroll now. My first signs were just not being able to eat the greasy food I use to eat - and building up stamina for exercise. I saw my improvement dramatically within a week. I could jog for 10 mins, not just 5. It was little things that slowly built - but showed progress.

    I'm not so much concerned about my weight. I will base my success on when my thighs no long rub and hurt me when I wear a dress. They never use to and that's what I'm working on getting back to

    When I saw a random picture someone posted, I admired the girls body and then I realized it was me! I had to do a double take because I couldn't believe how I didn't even realize it was me.

    When i cut out all the extra sugary treats AND noticed that "fruit " really IS sweet- it is just great and veggies taste so good to me now.
