The Ultimate Tea Diet - Progress - Week 3

So, I'm up to 8 pounds lost total, in 3 weeks. I guess that's good. I'm not sure if it was fully the tea I introduced into my diet or the fact that I'm not drinking sugared and artificially flavored drinks anymore. It was probably a bit of both if I had to guess.

My clothes fit me better. They aren't snug anymore.

My exercise isn't much. Sometimes I'll stop by on my way home and hit the mall. It's more like advanced window shopping, I don't really buy anything.  I also walk 2 - 3 blocks when I need to send a letter, or bill out and when I need to pick up a staple like milk.

Eight pounds seems good to me. I've been trying to watch my calorie intake for 4 days now. I don't even know how much I weigh - scales depress me. I'm just going by clothes, which seem no different at this point. You're not only showing determination in the food department and walking, but in the shopping restraint as well.

8 lbs is about right where you want to be in three weeks! That is very good Ashley! Keep up the good work! Do they introduce any weight training in this diet? That will also help you out a ton! Some arm curls and crunches can make a big difference!

Good for you Ashley. I sure wish I could loose a few pounds. Nothing seems to be working just yet and it has me bummed out.

Ashley, congratulations! 8 lbs sound like just the right amount - 2-3 pounds a week is generally advised. Any more than that and it's not as healthy, plus I think the faster you lose the more likely you are to gain it back.

8 pounds in three weeks is FANTASTIC!! I hope that my results will be similiar when I weigh myself at the end.

Sounds like you are doing all the right things... you go, girl!!!!

Best wishes and hugs!

Ashley - Congratulations - it's due to the fact that you're conscientiously eating better and are aware of everything you put into your mouth - plus, you should start exercise off slowly. Make sure you try to stretch a bit every day - after a while, it will be second hat to you. I wish you all the best! Salud.

Ashley, if you don't have arm weights fill up those plastic water bottles - you can weigh them - put a little water and start off with a couple of pounds and do arm lifts. It will help you tone up. Salud.

They say you should shoot for 1 pound a week in order to lose it and keep it off.

Good job!

Way to go! You gave up sugar is probably why. My boyfriend lost weight when he stopped using sugar, he uses splenda in his coffee.

8 pounds is wonderful! You should be very proud of yourself!
