Aug 2013

Very slowly losing weight, about 1 to 2 pounds a week.

Being very faithful to the program. Cautiously re-introducing single items after Elimination Diet. No adverse reactions to tomatoes, bell peppers. My portion size greatly reduced but I'm not hungry.

Results: Lost 10 pounds since beginning of July. My belly started looking swollen where it resembled a second trimester pregnancy. This morning, it's greatly reduced to where it's gently rounded. I have a CHIN!! Not a double chin where it's really a combination of neck and chin. And a jawline. My face is less rounded, more defined, and less swollen. My father once thought I might have adrenal issues as my face resembled moon facies. Not anymore.

Still work to do, but it's a very good start.
