How I did it:
1. 1 trip to Burger King
2. 1 trip to Arby's
3. 6 trips to McDonald's


This morning I was dreading my weigh-in. So I dressed up in a fabulous outfit and went to my weigh-in anyway. I am up 1.4 lbs. I am so happy with this number. I totally ate fast food 10 times last week due to lack of preparation. The reason I am happy with this number because I was up 4.4 lbs in June 28, 2010 due to a 40 point biscuit/roll overload.

So even the little tips I learned about fast food eating worked out. Such as only get the sandwich and not the sides. Drink the diet soda versus the regular. Get the kids meals.

Saturday I turned things around and went the grocery store and the fruit stand. So Saturday and Sunday's meals were more reasonable then my fast food days.

Lisad00 Weight Loss Breakthrough

Well I as I was contemplating my life as a non-skinny person and I found out new information about myself. I musing about the body I used to have in college and feeling depressed. Then I was glancing at my old college immunization records. I found out an amazing fact that I never knew. I weighed 207 lbs when I entered college. I always thought I was 167 and looked amazing.

Now that I know that I can feel great in the low 200's I feel so free. I was 204 at my wedding and felt great and obviously I felt great about my body in college since I have been obsessing over a number that never equated to that body.

I am now 243.8 lbs. I only have 39 lbs to get to my college and wedding body. That is so much easier to get to then this imaginary 167 lbs.

Lisa's 7 Week Jump Start: Week 7 Closure
