Day 9: Finally

Morning Weight: 156.4

Morning Mood: Huge Relief

I had a friend bring me a case of fresh apples from a fruit stand in Nampa, ID and they were gorgeous, juicy, flavorful apples. And they were huge. That was problem number 1. I think problem number 2 was the Dove soap I was using. It says right on the label that it contains 1/4 lotion. Last round I didn't have to worry about my body wash, but I'm not taking the chance. So I switched to Ivory brand soap (squeaky clean) and I think my problems should be over. So at this point I'm down a total of 29.6 pounds from the beginning of round 1 (June 30). This round I am down 2.2 pounds with 14 days to go. I am hopeful that I will reach my goal of 148. That is another 8.4 pounds, which would require an average loss of .6 pounds a day. In my 40 day round I averaged exactly that much. So, as long as I don't lose anymore days, then I should reach my goal and weigh 148 on October 23. And I really hope that translates into a size 8.

  1. Kate, I'm wondering if this is something I could do? I'm completely happy with the number on the scale, but I'm not happy with the extra fat I have on my thighs, butt, and tummy. Basically I want to look AWESOME in a bikini! :) Do you have to have a certain amount of weight to lose for this diet to be effective? Also, what are the restrictions on excercising? I can't imagine you'd want to burn up the 500 calories you get to eat? (Sorry if you've already answered these questions somewhere!)
