Have I reached the end?

Last week I did not go to my class because my nephew was here from out of town. This is why I did not post. However, I have finally realized that I have reached a crossroads. Unfortunately this program is costing so much money that I am going to finish up the product that I have (which is approximately 14 days) and stop going. The $125.00 a week has really been tearing into my budget, along with the maintenance fees and all of the other stuff that I need to buy. So, with that being said, I will stop going with only 4 weeks left. :( 

I will continue to write weekly in my blog because I want to be held accountable for the things I am doing and I still have about 50 pounds to lose. The good thing is that I have been going to class for long enough now to know what my food triggers are and how to keep from doing the things from my past that pushed me to the weight I was. 

I am going to do the shakes full time until I have a week left and then I am going to gradually add one meal every few days until I feel like my stomach is handling the food. I have been told that it does a number on the stomach when food is added back into the diet. I am a little nervous because I do not want to gain any weight so I think I am going to stick to a plant based diet for a while to see if I can continue to lose. I am also going to start picking up the exercise pace and see if I can tone up some of these muscles.

So, the answer to the questions is, NO I have not reached the end. I am going to continue to fight until I have reached my goal weight. Although I did not weigh in, I weighed on my scaled (which seems to be pretty close to their scale) and I weigh 185.0. I am down 64 pounds. Not bad for 16 weeks.

Wish me luck!!

  1. I know the decision you reached was probably a hard one, but know that you are still being supported. I think it's great that you will continue blogging and trying to incorporate as much as you can to be a successful weight loser after Optifast. You have done great for 16 weeks!!
