15 lb. Loss

I stayed the same as last week but still am happy with carrying 15 lbs. less on my body than I was last November.  I still have far to go but will continue to be pleased with whatever comes off and however long it takes.

The most important fact is that Sensa gave me the impetus to start eating better and the time to make my new eating pattern a habit.  Whether Sensa is a scam or not, I'd be carting around at least 15 more pounds on my body today without having used it.

April 23/14

I bought a digital scale which showed my morning weight as a 14 pound loss...up 1 pound.

Holding On and Hanging In

Sylvia and I both hit one of those famous walls where not an ounce more came off or stayed off but we kept on with Sensa and restarted the weight loss a couple of weeks ago...a few ounces or a pound or two.

I'm back home now and still determined to shed more weight.  One nice thing is that my home scale shows that I lost 3 pounds in the last few weeks but it could just be that the home scale doesn't weigh me the way the trailer scale did.  I don't care.  I'll accept the 3 lb. loss and go on from here.

I've never totally believed that there was a magic elixir in Sensa but that doesn't matter.  What matters is that just sprinkling it on your food makes you think of what you're eating and the past 5 months of using Sensa has given me the time to change my eating habits to a point where they now seem normal to me.

My weight loss at this time (using the home scale) is 15 pounds.  My clothes are looser and I'm wearing a size smaller than I did before.  I'm much more comfortable but haven't lost sight of the fact that I need to lose more weight.  Being pre-diabetic means that taking off weight could help reduce the chances of having to take medication for diabetes.  Being home and not dining out as much as I did in Florida will make dieting easier, too.

I have enough Sensa for another year and then I'll assess whether it's worth continuing to take it.
