I weighed in this week at 186 which is a total weight loss of 54 lbs. I am so relieved! Thankfully my plateau was short lived and I am back on track. Last night to commemorate my 50lb loss, the nurse took my picture and remeasured my waist and hips.
I have lost 10 inches from my waist (49 > 39)and 5 inches from my hips. YAHOOOOEY!
I have also been moved over to use the HMR 500 shakes. They are only 100 calories per serving vs 160 in the 800's. That effectively cuts 360 calories a day from my shake consumption. I have drinking my first one this morning and I can equate it to the difference between whole milk and low fat milk. It tastes the same but is not as creamy.
My hope is that the shift to the 500's will give me the nutrition I need and allow me to start incorporating more meal replacements into my diet. I need to move off a full liquid diet and I see this as the first step in that transition.
I also spoke with my health educator last night. She has encouraged me to keep up the 6 shakes per day if that seems to be working for me. She also does not want me to back down from running or any of my other PA for fear of not losing weight. She has continued to reassure me that my plateau was due to me retaining water due to all my PA not a true stagnation of weight loss.
I will resume my PA. Tentatively my workout plan is as follows:
Thurs: Run / Walk
Friday: Bike / Ab X
Saturday: Walk 4 miles at beach
Sunday: Run / Walk
Monday: Bike / Ab X
Tuesday: Run / Walk
Wednesday: Walk or Bike
