Hello friends,
Wow, what a week. I went for my weight in yesterday and my results were good. I'm losing at a slow and steady pace. I was excited before heading to the office because my morning weigh in on my scale was 170.4! That's the lowest I have seen on my scale since starting this program.
My results according to the Tanita Body Composition Analyzer were:
My results so far:
June 6 June 26 July 17 July 31 August 14 August 28
Weight 188 178 175.6 173.4 171.5 169.0
BMI 32.4 30.6 30.1 29.8 29.4 29.0
Fat% 40.1 37.6 38.6 38.5 37.4 36.9
Fat Mass 75.6 67.0 67.8 66.8 64.0 62.5
TBW 82.5 81.5 79.0 78.0 78.5 78.0
Did you see that?! I was 169.0 on their scale!!
So I should be proud of myself right? Wrong! For dinner last night my husband and I went out to our favorite fish and chip place. They have an excellent Poon friendly fish meal that consists of poached fish in a very flavorful fish broth, served with salad.
However, on Wednesdays they have buy one get one half price fish and chips. So instead of choosing the healthy meal I chose the economical meal. Afterwards we drove 45 minutes east to watch my step-son's hockey game. I felt so guilty about what I had just eaten. I also felt so full. That was the first time in 3 months that I have had that feeling. Heavy and full. And, I am paying for it on the scale this morning. 172.4.
I know it's just water and that I can flush it out. But this brings me to my thoughts on cheating.
It's pretty easy to justify a 'cheat' meal. Yesterday I had all kinds of reasons why it would be okay. First, since I had just been to the Dr poon office, I have 2 full weeks to cover my tracks and make up for my cheat. Second, had I chosen the healthier meal it alone would have cost more than the mine and my husband's unhealthy meals combined. Third, I've done well, and I 'deserve' a treat. Afterall, once I reach my goals won't I on the rare occasion indulge in a treat here and there? Does anyone else find it to be too coincidental that CHEAT and TREAT rhyme?
So anyways, here are my answers to those justifications. First, am I doing this program for me or for Dr Poon. ME. So whether I just visited the office or not, why should I cheat? Does it get me closer to my goal faster? No. Does it set me back. YES. I know from past experience that once I give in to a cheat it's a slippery slope before I am justifying a lot more bad food decisions. So I am declaring here and now that yesterday's fish and chips are not going to derail me. Second, my unhealthy food choices for the past 15 years are what has gotten me to this point. My health and a better body image are worth a few extra dollars on a healthier meal. I would have enjoyed both meals equally and I would have felt better after eating the healthy version. What's a few extra dollars when it means my clothes look good on me and my back hurts less? Lastly, yes, I do intend to eat the occasional 'treat' when I've reached my goal. But I must always remember what occasional means. It doesn't mean once a week or once a day. And 99% of choices should be healthy and nutritious.
Okay, moving on. I've been reading a lot of posts from the private Dr. poon support group on Facebook. I've seen a lot of posts which begin NSV... I had no idea what this meant, so if you are like me, I will share what I painstakingly looked up online lol... NON SCALE VICTORY.
So here is my NSV- last night I tried on the dress I would like to wear out for our anniversary dinner this weekend aaanndd it fits!! It fits beautifully! If I can figure out how to upload a photo to this blog I will.
I've also made a couple of servings of Carbquick pancakes with Walden farms zero calorie pancake syrup. I have to say, not bad. Not bad at all.
My husband and I are leaving shortly for Niagara falls for a couple of nights. There will be challenges to my diet no doubt. But I intend to do my very best and to keep my eye on the prize. Wish me luck. And once again, if you are reading this, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to comment below.

Dr Poon Week 11
Hello,
My weight is up. There, I said it. It has been up all week. Some days, 4 or 5 lbs. This morning I am up just one lb from last week- but still I'm up 1 lb. 172.4
I was placed on phase 2 last week when I visited the Dr Poon office. I think that perhaps I have taken some creative liberties with what it means to be on phase 2. I am making an effort to pull up my socks and to be by the book this week. I do NOT want to be up when I go for my weigh in next week. I also have a beautiful dress that I would like to wear for my anniversary next weekend and there is no room for a few extra lbs when it comes to doing up that side zipper.
Where I went wrong seemed to be at my sister-in-laws birthday party last Saturday. My morning weight that day was 171.4. It was a pot luck dinner and I prepared lean ground beef meatballs in a bbq sauce from ONS. I also made a broccoli salad. I did a pretty good job of eating low carb. I over consumed wine -3 glasses instead of 1 and I thought I would treat myself to a piece of birthday cake. I had a great time at the party and to my disbelief, Sunday morning's step on the scale was 176 lbs!! The rest of the week I have been trying to flush out the water. And while I seem to be getting closer to where I was last week, the scale is not being my friend this week.
On another note, I discovered the Dr Poon Facebook support group this week. I am quite happy to see so many positive posts. I have not taken the time to post anything there yet, but I have certainly enjoyed reading the posts from other 'Pooners" as they appear on my Facebook feed throughout the day.
I also bought Carbquick this week from ONS. I have not experimented too much with it yet. I bought it because of all the positive reviews it was receiving on FB. Last night I used it to coat chicken. It didn't knock my socks off or anything, but it was good and I will continue to use it. I also bought a couple of donuts and gelato from ONS. I'm very pleased with both.
Since the beginning of this journey, I have found my desires for snacks have lessoned. I don't need as many snacks as I did in the beginning; and so the inflated costs of 'low-carb' options is not phasing me. They seem well worth the cost. I can stay committed thanks to these occasional low carb treats.
I've also been exercising! I'm not as committed to that as I am to the diet but I am trying! I've been riding my bike for 30 mins a day with the exception of last night. Instead, my husband and I took a walk through the marshlands together. I am still white knuckling my way through each bike ride. I am watching the clock just waiting for the 30 minutes to be over. I hope one day I learn to enjoy it.
Even though my weight is up, I know its not really about where I am today (holding on to a few extra lbs of water) but where I will be a year from now - healthy, lean and hopefully pregnant. I am committed to this diet, and I believe this diet works. So a little blip on the journey won't derail this weight loss train--- however, having said that, I still really want to see the 160s!!! =)
Cheers fellow 'Pooners" here's to another week of buckling down, staying the course and making the best choices for our bodies!!

Dr Poon Diet Week 10 And 4th Follow up Visit
Hello!
I'm so happy right now I could dance! My weight this morning on my scale is 171.8! I'm inching my way closer to the 160s!! I'm so excited. I've lost 19 lbs! My BMI is no longer in the 'obese' range. I'm officially overweight. Who knew that I would be excited to 'overweight'!
I've also had my biweekly Dr Poon Office visit yesterday. I've been placed on phase 2. I realized that I had been cheating quite a bit on phase one. I had been eating a lot of phase 2 items thinking, well they're low carb, they must be allowed. items such as mayonnaise. I would make an egg salad with a touch of mayo and eat it on cucumber slices. They were delicious, but I wasn't supposed to be having such items, which might explain why my results have been slower, like phase 2 results. Now that I am officially on phase 2, I am excited. As the pamphlet suggests, I intend to begin each day on phase one and eat the occasional phase 2 item as the cravings for these items strike. Yesterday I savoured a small dish of fresh strawberries for dessert. I thought I died and went to heaven!
If you're reading this blog in preparation for beginning the Dr poon diet, and your wondering whether the program works... it does. It's not always easy and it requires a level of commitment that you may not have ever given a diet in the past, but it does work and it is worth the effort. It has taken me 10 weeks to lose 19 lbs. I realize now that I have made some mistakes along the way. The weight loss, whether it be a pound a week or more or less has been worth every effort. I feel so much better. My self-esteem seems to rise with every lost pound.
I've been riding my stationary bike more often as well. If my knees agree, I think I might tackle the 30 day squat challenge that I have seen posted on Pinterest and Facebook. Of the 19 lbs I've lost, the majority of it seems to have come off my bum! My pants are hanging off of me in the most unflattering way! I've got to see if I can build up my gluteal muscles! I mentioned in a previous post that I have an 'apple' body type. I carry the majority of my excess weight in my belly and breasts. I've noticed some minor losses in these areas. My waist seems to be much more pronounced.
I can't wait to lose my belly! The best part is, I KNOW I will! It'll take time, but now that I have embraced a new way of eating, I know I am only going to get better!
I'm doing this for a number of reasons, but my main motivation is to have a fit body for my fertility treatments down the road. It was after all, my fertility specialist who started me on this weight loss journey. I know when I go back to see her in October she is going to be quite impressed with my results.
My results so far:
June 6 June 26 July 17 July 31 August 14
Weight 188 178 175.6 173.4 171.5
BMI 32.4 30.6 30.1 29.8 29.4
Fat% 40.1 37.6 38.6 38.5 37.4
Fat Mass 75.6 67.0 67.8 66.8 64.0
TBW 82.5 81.5 79.0 78.0 78.5
I was retaining water at yesterdays weigh in. I had lost nearly 3 lbs of fat but was up .5lbs of total body water. I think I have since then flushed some of that excess water out because my home scale which usually weighs me a couple pounds heavier than the office scale, weighed me at 171.8 this morning! Quite a drop from yesterday morning.
Sooo happy!!
Thanks for taking the journey with me! Here's to another week!

Dr Poon Diet Week Nine
Hello!
So guess what... I'm excited! I'm actually excited about this diet again!! I am down -1.8 lbs from last week for a total of -17 lbs! My weight this morning was 173.2 lbs!
These are the kind of results I can get excited about and that can keep me motivated.
Truthfully, I'm not sure what it is that I have done differently. I did a 30 minute bike ride the other day. I intended to make the bike ride apart of my routine, but so far this week, I've only done it once.
Also, my husband began cutting out junk food this week as well. That's certainly making it easier for me to stay on track but since I didn't eat his junk food for the past 2 months I can't say its the reason I have had better results this week.
Whatever the reason, it feels good to be excited again.
I have a wedding to attend this Saturday. I went shopping for a new dress and although I didn't find one that I want, it sure was nice to try things on and not HATE the way that they looked. The results of losing 17 lbs is definitely noticeable and for that, I am thrilled.
I was watching a documentary on food last night on Netflix. The title escapes me at the moment. The suggestion of the film was that refined sugar and flour are just as harmful in their effects and their addictiveness as cocaine. It was a very interesting program and although a lot if the information contained in its message is common sense, it was good to watch to have the message driven home.
I'm very proud of the changes of I have made to my diet. I cannot believe that I have kept on track for more than 2 months. I don't think I have ever stayed committed to anything for this length of time. I guess once you break the cycle of carbs causing you to crave more carbs, then staying on track becomes easier. That's not to say that I don't occasionally want those high fat, high sugar carbs like poutine, pizza and cup cakes, but that by avoiding eating one it is easier to avoid eating number 2 and number 3.
One thing that the documentary focussed on was the harmful effects of diet soda. And again, it's common sense, I should know better than to drink this stuff, but it has become my crutch since being on the Dr Poon diet. I'm not ready yet, to remove it from my diet, but I would like to.
I'd really love to hear from you if you are also on Dr Poon's diet. Please feel free to comment below.
Here's to another week of staying the course.

Dr. poon Diet Week 8 and Follow up Visit 3
Hello again,
My morning weight this morning is 175.0. I have to admit, I am disappointed. This diet is very restrictive, and staying on track can be hard. It would be so much easier if the pay offs were there week after week. I read other Dr Poon blogs, and it seems as though everyone else is having amazing results most weeks. I am grateful to be losing weight. And as I mentioned before, my brain knows this is a lifestyle change and that over the long term I will be come healthier, and thinner.
I had my 3rd follow up visit yesterday. In the morning before leaving my weight on my scale was 175.2.
My results so far:
June 6 June 26 July 17 July 31
Weight 188 178 175.6 173.4
BMI 32.4 30.6 30.1 29.8
Fat% 40.1 37.6 38.6 38.5
Fat Mass 75.6 67.0 67.8 66.8
TBW 82.5 81.5 79.0 78.0
I have lost 2.2 lbs since my last visit. 1 lb of body fat and 1 lb of body water.
In total (according to my scale) I have lost 15 lbs to date.
I NEED to add some exercise to my routine. I have said it before, but I really need to put it into action and get my butt moving.
I so badly want to see the scale drop into the 160s. I feel like I am so close. But I need to try even harder if I want to get there sooner rather than later. Are there any other Dr Poon dieters out there who have also had such SLOW results?
Even the Dr said yesterday that I wasn't losing much, but he didn't offer any suggestions or explanation. I guess so long as you are losing is all that really matters.
This has been kind of a negative post. Let me try to turn the tables here for a moment. There are positives... first off, I am down 15 lbs! Most of my capris and shorts are hanging off of me and can even be pulled off without unbuttoning! My face is also looking thinner. The change in diet has certainly changed my PMS symptoms. My period is due in 2 days and I am NOT experiencing the moderate breast tenderness that I used to experience. This is the 3rd cycle since beginning this diet and it has totally alleviated that discomfort.
My husband, who has been a great cheerleader, has not been a great help. Allow me to explain. He has done a great job of complimenting me. He tells me how proud he is of me and does not complain when I spend ridiculous amounts of money on 'food I can eat'. However, he has been a real pain in my butt when it comes to eating junk food in front of me. For the most part, I don't have cravings for junk food; and I know this is 'Jana's Journey' not his....but c'mon! LOL One morning this week, I woke up to the smell of fresh baked banana bread lofting throughout my whole house. Literally, it woke me up. He decided to bake a loaf in the bread maker. As if that were not enough, throughout the day every time I looked over at him he was eating a slice slathered in butter. He ate 3/4 of the loaf in one day! This is just an example, there is the nightly bowl of ice cream, the freezer full of Costco muffins, and the fact that on weekends when we are out yardsaling or whatever we might be doing, he always turns to me and says "I'm gonna grab a _______, you have stuff you can eat at home right?" Fill the blank in with slice of pizza, sub, hamburger and fries etc etc.
For the most part I've been sucking it all up. But this week for some reason it has been a lot harder than the past weeks. I sent my husband a text which read "I want pizza, poutine, a hamburger, salt and vinegar chips and CAKE! =(. He responded with "I'm so proud of you, you look amazing!"
So the next day when I explained to him how difficult it has been this past week and how hard it has been to watch him have all those treats. He told me that after this weekend he would cut out junk food for 1 month until our anniversary (September 1st). I'm so excited! It is going to be soo great to have a partner. It will also give him an appreciation of what I am experiencing.
On that note, do you remember during week one when I wrote about mentioning this diet to my brother? Well through his own efforts of reducing sugar in his diet and watching what he is eating, he has lost 20 lbs! I'm very proud of him.
Okay folks, sorry for the LOOONG blog. We will see you in a week, hopefully with AMAZING results!
Stay healthy!

For the most part I've been sucking it all up. But this week for some reason it has been a lot harder than the past weeks. I sent my husband a text which read "I want pizza, poutine, a hamburger, salt and vinegar chips and CAKE! =(. He responded with "I'm so proud of you, you look amazing!"
So the next day when I explained to him how difficult it has been this past week and how hard it has been to watch him have all those treats. He told me that after this weekend he would cut out junk food for 1 month until our anniversary (September 1st). I'm so excited! It is going to be soo great to have a partner. It will also give him an appreciation of what I am experiencing.
On that note, do you remember during week one when I wrote about mentioning this diet to my brother? Well through his own efforts of reducing sugar in his diet and watching what he is eating, he has lost 20 lbs! I'm very proud of him.
Okay folks, sorry for the LOOONG blog. We will see you in a week, hopefully with AMAZING results!
Stay healthy!
