Default Day 14 - Noticing a Change

Well, this is day 14 of my induction.
So far, I've lost 13 pounds and can notice subtle changes in my face and tummy area. My husband even metioned that my extra chin is not directly under my chin anymore, it's closer to my neck. To him that is a compliment.

Looking at the pictures, I can see a subtle change in my cheek and chin area. I have a long way to go and I'm so looking forward to meeting my goals.

I want to thank everyone on the bulletin board for your support, for posting your comments, pictures, recipes etc. It's a great motivator and helps to keep me on track.


Day 1 Day 7 Day 14

Well done! Congrats for the 13 lbs. Means you have a low degree of metabolic resistance.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
