hkellickSo, out of the blue, on.. Friday.. I randomly remembered a little fact from when I was dieting last. It seems that, for reasons I DON'T understand, diet soda seems to not help me lose weight. I remember entirely quitting a little while back, and it DID seem to help with the weight loss.
As of last week, at least while I was at work, I'd typically have 4 12 oz. cans of pop a day, typically. 48 oz. of artificial sweeteners and... whatever else it is that might be somehow interfering with the scale, at the last, being nice to me.
So as of last Friday, I decided to take it easy on the soda. It does seem like it's helped because, seriously, Saturday, Sunday and Today, the weight dropped a bit.
I don't get it, but I also remember the OTHER reason i quit diet sodas was that I had no idea how truly good for me the artificial sweetener was. Say what you want about sugar... it's long and short term effects on the human body are pretty well known.
So... I've continued to eat well, continued to exercise, continued doing well.
As of this morning, I've lost 4.2 lbs. since I started this challenge with Marie. Marie, that's 15.5% of the weight I need to win. I'd be worried if I was you ;)
Current BMI: 32.5.. working my way back down to 29.7 (That's 244, when I beat Marie) and then beyond.
