Ok, today is the first day of ramadan.
I weigh myself at noon this morning I am 176.8!
I have a goal of 10 lbs lost this ramadan. I don't think it will be too hard. I just hope I don't overeat like I usually do. The last few ramadans I didn't lose any weight. I will try to update you in a week to see if there is any weightloss. I will attempt to work out in the evenings, tho im not sure if I will get to it.

So Ramadan is right around the corner. I figured to boost my weight loss, I would start the low glycemic index diet a few days back. I forgot Ramadan is right around the corner. So for the next week I will 1200 calories or under to start the weight loss program. I am hoping this Ramadan will be a great weight loss one. In the past I have had some Ramadans, where I have lost up to 10 lbs, not recently though. Since Ramadan last year I was 10 lbs heavier. I had managed to gain 10 lbs over 1 year, after losing 20 lbs.

Lets see what happens.
I weight myself this morning, I was 179. I will keep you updated!

Cheating a little but still going strong with the special k diet. So far I have lost 5 lbs :-D. I probably won't lose anything by tomorrow due to the cheating I did today. I think this diet was good in it prevented me from constant unnecessary snacking, however I think I needed the diet to stop me. I don't think I am strong enough to stop without a reason.

I need to fit in a dress for my cousins wedding july 17. So I will try to remain on this diet so I can fit the dress. The dress was 1 size too small. Lets see what happens.
