    ....I gave into delicious caramel bubble tea. It was worth it.... A regular sized drink split into two days (dinners).

    Now, I'm on day 2 again of no sugared beverages and knowing that I can keep this up excites me.

    Also, I'm wearing size 12 pants today when I usually where size 14 .....

    bam! I'm getting there. :)

    All that I ask for now is hitting a 3.6 lb loss for the month. The closer I get to 130 the more, more, more I think it's possible to get there by April.

    You can do this!

    Man this month has been the most difficult, with birthdays and vacations my meal prep and exercise routine went haywire. I’m proud that I kept active enough to still not gain but disappointed in where I could’ve been this month if I hadn’t slacked. Oh well this is life
    Here’s to next month! And a goal to get under 200 lbs for the first time in 4 years!!!!

    I understand your disappointment. Still you are losing and doing great. Congratulations!

    UPDATE!!! Detox/Fast

    I'm not a fan of daily weigh-ins ( I cannot handle the pressure) but since my fast it's been quite exciting!

    So far...

    Jan 20: 202.6 Yikes!!
    Jan 23: 195.0 Surprised me!
    Jan 24: 192.4 Whaaa?!!
    Jan 25: 190.8 Speechless!

    Thank you Jesus!!! God is good. My journey isn't over yet, just 2 more days and then Keto time!

    P.S. I miss eating solids...Getting tired of broth but feeling really good. :smiley:

    As of today *drum roll*

    Jan 26: 188.8!!!!
    Just 1-lb away from my lowest since last summer! I'm so excited--and my fast isn't over yet!

    Original starting weight - 305
    January starting weight - 227.5
    January goal - 221
    Ultimate goal - 163

    My weigh in's are on Saturdays
    January 5th - 225
    January 12th - 223.5
    January 19th - 223.50 Stayed the same
    January 26th - 221.50

    Lost 2 yay, so ok then I am going to get that other .5 off by 2/1/2019.

    Kept my carbs under 55 daily that seems to be it for me. Both for losing weight, but to keep the diabetic blood sugars in range.

    For those that do order stuff online, there is a Hot Chocolate by Healthwise. Has I think only 3 carbs, and 15 grams of protein, 60 calories I think.. For anyone who is a low carber, and loves hot chocolate. I do via amazon.
    Stuff is great, and nope I do not sell it. I just buy it. The chocolate and marshmallow flavors are great. I tried the amaretto flavor, as I love that flavor normally but not in this hot chocolate.

    @maureenkhilde, Years ago, I used to drink Wonderslim protein hot chocolate. It was very good. Yesterday, I was at my Niece's house and snagged a bag of Land o Lakes hot cocoa mix. I made 2 cups of cocoa by using half the mix, 1 TB cocoa powder, stevia and heavy whipping cream. Very good, very carby and high calorie. It was worth it. It warmed me up.

    •Lose 5 lbs in January 2019•

    December 2018 - Lost 2.4lbs 😃

    Original starting wgt: 253
    January starting weight: 178 (fluid retention)
    January goal: 170
    ❄Updating every day through January until completely back on track.

    •Monday Updates•📌
    1/01- 178 - Oh yeah, midnight eating and a little champagne. My weight is between 174 & 175 this is fluid.
    1/102 - 177.2
    1/03 - 175.8
    1/04 - 177.6 - Felt miserable all day yesterday with some type of weird allergy cold again. Exercised, ate dinner and went to bed later than usual. Now gut is upset. What the what?!
    1/05 -177.2 - Had no appetite most of the day yesterday, runny nose, gut in an uproar, whole 9 yards of misery. Took some cold medicine late afternoon and then proceeded to overeat cookies.😦
    1/06 - 178.2 - Still with the carb craziness!
    📌 1/07 - 177.2 - Coming back down. This "allergy cold" still hanging on. I will be staying under 20 grams of carbs today. (That should say net carbs.)
    1/08 - 174.4 - 18g net carbs, 16g net is the plan today.
    1/09 - 174.8 - I did better than planned yesterday, 19g carbs, 12g net. Today's plan is 16g/13g net.
    1/10 - 174 - 20g carbs, 17g net carbs.
    1/11- 172.8 - Yesterday 15g carbs, 12g net carbs.
    1/12 - 173.2 - Yesterday 29g carbs 23g net carbs
    1/13 - 175.2 - 21g carbs, 17g net carbs
    📌 1/14/ - 176.2 - 63g carbs, 57g net carbs - black truffle & olive oil kettle chips was the culprit. Did not want to resist them.😏
    1/15 - 173.2 - on track

    1/16 - 173.8 - on track - 45g carbs 19g net carbs. Since I've had a couple of days of eating something (nuts or those chips!) after my fasting hours began, I've changed my eating window to end a couple of hours later. It seems to be working, but my early weigh ins will read a higher number at the 12th-13th hr fasting point as opposed to the 15th-16th hour.

    1/17 - 173.2

    1/18 - 172.2 - Mmm, maybe I will see a new decade at the end of the month.

    After my post on the morning of the 18th, no Internet at home until the morning of the 23rd. I had a couple of high calorie days, a couple of high carb days. Mostly vegetables and nuts. Tomato soup one day, hot chocolate yesterday. A few days, junk carbs, cookie, chips, chocolate. The winter weather has been colder than it has been for a long time. Makes me want to eat!

    1/19 - 173.8
    1/20 - 173.8
    📌1/21 - 174.2
    1/22 - 174.2
    1/23 - 174.2
    1/24 - 173.6
    1/25 - 174.4
    1/26 - 175
    1/27 - 173.8

    1/28 - 175.2

    @maureenkhilde Thanks for sharing the info on the hot chocolate. I will be ordering from Amazon TODAY. I make hot chocolate every single day for my son. Although it is sugar-free, it still has carbs I'm not willing to spend on it. However, I can handle a 3 carb treat especially in the well below zero temperatures! Thanks so very much for sharing!
