Total Loss So Far: 18.6 lbs
Loss per day Average: 1.09 lbs

I've been having a harder time losing lately. My progress has slowed down a lot. I've only lost a pound in the last four days. I would do an apple day but every couple days I have a little loss, like today I lost 0.6. But with a couple small gains it brings my loss average down... So I'm not sure if that's a situation for an apple day or not because it's not a typical, no-loss/no-gain plateau... If I still have trouble in the next couple days I will try an apple day. I have about 2 1/2 weeks left on Phase 2, so hopefully I'll be able to lose another 10-15 pounds like I want to! I feel really good now though so even if I was done here, I would be happy with the results. Another 10-15 pounds would just top it all off. :) Yesterday a good friend of mine that I haven't seen in a couple weeks saw me and nearly stopped in his tracks and asked if I've been working out... I told him no, I haven't, and just smiled. He looked confused and said, "You've lost weight! You look good, Sam. Seriously." That made me feel good. My clothes fit better and I feel and look better. January 20 will be my last day of injections and by then I will be a knock out! haha... Here we go~ 16 days left!
