THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!

OK, the numbers are finally in!! I will be including pictures below. After much deliberation, and being embarrassed of how I look/looked, I'm biting down and posting Before and After pictures. This diet was rough and it's not completely over yet. I fully intend to do another 30 day detox cycle once we get settled in Colorado. The reason I'm waiting is because I won't have a solid 30 days to myself for this diet until then! Busy times ahead, but I'm getting off topic. 

Let me say, I'm very sensitive about my pictures, mostly because I'm that disgusted with myself. Though I may not have had much control over how wacky my hormones and sugar got, I have to take responsibility for not acting sooner!! I'm not where I want to be BUT I am 1/3 of the way there and that makes me happy! 

My husband was very kind and helpful during my 30-day cycle. Though his compliments had the grace of a baby elephant stumbling around a china shop, his heart was in the right place and his words made me smile and feel better.

My initial weight loss goal was 50 pounds, expecting to lose 30 during this cycle. I came up numerically short about 11.5 pounds :-(
Here's the numbers:

18.5 pounds lost
(including a total of a 10 day weight stall)

AND


23 inches lost


Not too shabby if you include my 10 day weight loss stall. So essentially I lost 18.5 pounds in a little more than three weeks.

**Sorry folks, for some reason it REFUSES to let me post pictures. Every time I try it freezes up and errors on me, I will try in another blog, stay tuned!!**
