Brandy's Weight Loss Journey: Part 3 - Progress Update
Observations from our volunteer, Brandy, on her weight loss journey with the NuMedica hc3 Trim Lifestyle Program.
Brand's Weight Loss Update Week 3
As I shared in the first post, Brandy has a great weight loss goal (100 pounds), and has some unique challenges to work within. Even so, she's pushing through, (even though she's had to do the loading phase a couple of times to get into ketosis after her son's emergency surgery).
This week's weight: 235.2 pounds. Starting Weight: 243.2 pounds. That's a total of 8 pounds! Congratulations Brandy on GREAT weight loss!!!
Brandy's shares some thoughts about her week:
Interestingly, I noticed that my skin is very clear. All of the blemishes I am used to having on my face are just clearing up on their own. I'm not yet sure if this is due to the hc3 trim vitamins or if it's due to the fact that I'm drinking so much water. Either way, I will take it!
I have noticed that if I avoid the scale and put off writing down my meals until later, then I tend to forget things I have eaten. Big No No! Thankfully, like God's mercies, every day is a new day, a new chance to work hard, and a new chance to do my best to get healthy. I am just trying to take it one day at a time.
Today I am completely exhausted. I am sleeping more today than I usually do, but I am hoping that is due to the changes going on in my body- heading into ketosis... Dinner was good, I didn't have to cook, but I still ate baked chicken with nothing yucky on it. Also on the table was an amazing looking pan of fresh baked crescent rolls with butter dripping off them...it was really tough but I abstained! I keep reminding myself that I had plenty of food like that in the past, and that's why I am in the situation I am in today.
Libby Wright, mother of four who homeschools, is an original founder of SupplementRelief.com in 2010. She suffered through challenging diseases including Interstitial Cystitis, Graves and Lyme. After years of little progress with traditional medicine, she pursued integrative medicine, applied what she learned, and got healthier. She became passionate about wanting others to experience the same "relief" she had come to know, and SupplementRelief.com was born. She is now managing her illness with a lot of prayer, a lot of nutrition/supplements, and a little prescription medicine. She has been able to resume her normal life and, while there is no cure for her particular conditions, she is able to cope, enjoy every day, and encourage others.
