Post 2 - Update

When I started with wanting to lose the weight back in August, I had started out at what I thought was 280, but not long after that post I weighed myself and I was down to 270, which meant I had lost 10 pounds in about two months. I decided to track all my food using FitnessPal and follow what they thought I should be eating at daily and add exercise in the mix. I would cheat a full day every week at the least and at the end of September, I hadn't lost a single pound with exercise (Zumba like exercises for 30 minutes, 2-3 times a week) and eating healthier. I am thinking that my good days just evened out my bad days since I'd cheat so hard.

I decided to start the Primal Blueprint diet, as my boyfriend Larry had great success doing it. I have been doing it for twelve days and I feel pretty good. Last week I had what they call the carb flu and I felt pretty awful detoxing from the sugars and grains. On day 6 or 7 I started feeling a lot better. So far, I have felt great, had more energy, had a decrease in blood sugars, had very little stomach issues and from someone who has IBS, it's huge to go a long time without stomach issues. I am thinking I will weigh myself within the next few days and see if I have lost any weight so far. For the time being, I wanted to include some pics.
