Week 2 of Optifast, down 19.2 Ibs total.

Jan 24, 2017

I got on the scale this morning and was THRILLED to see the weight say 284.8.  I was worried that it might be up a bit because I couldn't take my water pill for a few days due to being sick, plus I couldn't eat or drink until after 7 PM yesterday, doctor's orders, while i was having tests done.  So I drank 3 Opti and a cup of soup broth between 8PM and 1 AM.  I could not get the 3rd in and probably shouldn't have forced the second as I felt uncomfortably full.

So, that's 19.2 Ibs total. 

Starting weight:   304

Week 1 Opti:       298

Week 2 Opti:       284.8

I was in the 280's for a very long time before my weight crept up to 304. I can't wait to reach the 270's, as that was another stall point for me, where my weight settled there for a few years.  It will be nice to get back there and lower.  Only 4.8 Ibs until I reach the 270's; I wonder if I can do that in my final week of Opti or if the weight loss will slow down after such a big loss this week?  It doesn't seem possible for it to keep going down so quickly, and so much.

Yay Optifast!

I also lost inches!

I'm down 0.5 inches on my chest, 3 inches on my waist (wow!), 1 inch on my thigh, 0.5 inches on my neck, 2 inches around my belly, 1.5 inches on my upper arm,  for a total of 8.5 inches down.  My hips stayed the same and my calf went up by 0.5 inches, and so did my ankle, for a total of 1 inch gained.  That will go down again as my legs are swollen from not taking my water pill for 2 days.

I'm VERY happy about the 3 inches down on my waist and 2 inches down on my belly.  Those are the places I need to lose the most.
