Ok, my first posting here. I'm practically jumping for joy to have finally hit my 20 pounds lost mark. Took 9 weeks but I'm there. My page here says 26.5 but the starting weight was wrong. I started at 243.5 pounds. When I first logged in, I went with what my doc's office scale said, but I had 4-5 pounds of clothes on, so it wasnt' accurate. Anyway, I probably would have hit 20 pounds during the 8th week, but I had such a craving for a cheeseburger and fries. I had it for 3 days and eating turkey burgers just wasn't going to cut it. I did manage to eat a small size burger from Wendy's and the small fries. I did notice that I got full sooner. Before this diet, I'd eat the medium sized #1 and it took that whole burger to fill me up. I'm glad my little indulgence didn't cause me to gain anything. The past few weeks have been bad due to Halloween chocolate around the house, employee appreciation days at work that consisted of pizza and burgers and a slight wavering in dealing with my cravings. I have to admire myself though. I am a burger junkie. I would have at least 1 a week before. To go 8 weeks without one is a miracle for me.
