I'm below 200 pounds!!

This morning I woke up and my headache is very mild.  It could be contributed to the fact that I'm not taking allergy meds during my detox diet and it is spring here with tons of flowers and trees blooming.

Now for the great news!
I'm sooo excited!
The scale showed less than 200 pounds this morning!  YEEPEE!!!!!

This raw food diet is working much better than I had ever expected.  I really wanted to just get my body more clear of the meds I had taken but check out there numbers.

Before starting my total weight was 203.0 now it's 197.6 lost 5.4 pounds
but even better is where the weight is coming from
Starting fat-87.41 pounds
today's fat- 81.21 pounds =6.2 pounds of fat!

starting Muscle -50.90
today's muscle-52.56= 1.66 gain in muscle!

My body age that was at 58 is at 55 this morning
And the most exciting part for me...my visceral fat level (the amount of fat inside your ab around your organs) has dropped from 9 to 8.  normal it 0-9  I was at the top side of normal but am very happy to see that the fat I'm losing is from the dangerous fat that is wrapped around my organs.  This is the fat that causes all of the bad health effects.  The less of this that you have the better. 
So I'm dropping fat and gaining muscle and the fat is coming from all the right places.  I'm sooooo happy!

One side effect I didn't expect...I am sweating a lot!  And it's is smelly ...ugh....After my workout my son said' "Mom, you smell BAD!" I know he was right...I could smell me!   UGH!

  1. OH MY GOSH I would soooo trade any sweaty smell for being under 200!!! AWESOME!!!!! woot woot!!!! You know one of my favorite "diet" books out there is the flex diet (which isn't really a diet - more like a book full of tips written by one of the doctors who writes for webmd) anyway he recommends a 2 days fast 1x per month - just for the mental jump-start. And trust me - getting under 200 is something do dance about so I hope you are doing a happy dance right now!!!!!!!!!
