Howdy, Friends!
Well, I've lost 20 pounds so far, in 14 weeks. Traveling set me back a little over the summer, but I didn't quit and give up.
I'm back on track and still losing weight. My weight loss chart each week looks like the stock market, up-down-up-down, but with a continual downward trend, woo hoo!
The method I'm using is found in my blog: http://shannahsweightlossvideodiary.blogspot.com/2013/06/getting-back-on-wagon-of-weight-loss-ugh.html
My children's books for early reading the right way are at:

Shannah's dieting blog update
Hey Friends,
Just an update on my diet. I have lost 16 lbs so far.
My favorite snacks are avocados, olives, and string cheese. Baby carrots are good, too!
Almonds, avocados, and olives all have the good fats in them that help you release belly fat. You have to have good fats for your hormones to work properly for all your body processes.
One of the big mistakes people make is to eliminate all fats. Don't get rid of them, just eat the right kinds.
And of course, I still have to watch my portion control. I can't each the whole bag of almonds, just a handful.
One avocado is good. I eat the whole can of olives, which I probably shouldn't.
Also, if I'm extra hungry, I eat a little more beef. Beef is a negative-calorie food. It takes more energy (calories) to digest it than it contains, and the protein is a great hunger-killer.
Ta ta for now.

Getting back on the wagon of weight loss - ugh
Okay, you guys, I fell off the wagon of weight loss a while back, and it's time to get back on!
Here is what I have been doing, because I can't afford lap band surgery, I can't afford Slim-4-Life, and I can't afford all of these special programs.
But I also can't afford to continue to gain weight!
So, on my own, this is my diet:
Breakfast - 2 hard boiled eggs with a little lite salt (has potassium for your heart), and a glass of milk.
Snacks: an orange and 2 sticks of string cheese, spaced apart a little.
Lunch - a can of Progresso or Campbell's soup, the kind that are ready to eat, no water added, not creamy. They are about 250 calories or less for the whole can, and are packed full of veggies, vitamins, and a little protein.
Snacks: anything 100 calories or less that doesn't have a lot of carbs, like a piece of fresh fruit, raw veggies, cottage cheese, a can of green beans, a can of tuna, etc.
Dinner - Meat and veggies, cooked this time. I drink water or milk only. Butter is not my enemy; it keeps hormones healthy, has protein and calcium, but just a little. It has to be real butter.
If I have a salad, I like to sprinkle it with a little lite salt and/or salsa. No more ranch or bleu cheese dressing for this girl!
Never eat margarine or spreads. Real butter only.
If I feel like my blood sugar is too low and my head is foggy, I will have 1 small dum-dum sucker or 1 life saver. It gets the body's Krebs cycle going.
Drink lots of water all day. I just keep a bottle near me always.
I have to do this for at least a year. It is a major life change.
So far, I have lost 6 pounds in 3 weeks.
For me it helps to have a known routine without a lot of guesswork. I don't need variety, I need to know what to do easily.
OFF the list are complex carbs and starches, as well as simple sugars:
No bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, sugar, etc., except for what little bit is in the lunch soups.
Supplements: daily vitamins with iron, calcium (Citracal), extra D, fiber gummy, and Protandim (removes toxins, antioxidant, NRF2-activator).
Ta ta for now.
