I did my weigh in this morning and while I am only down 2 lbs from last week (150.6) I have lost a little more than an inch around my tummy and about 1/2 an inch on my thighs. I have not check the measurements in about three weeks so not sure when I lost that exactly.
Anyway I am rather please I have a routine and it is pretty simple.
I eat breakfast no more than 250 calories normally it is about 150 (egg white and two slices of bacon) with coffee no sugar then I have a snack about two hours later which is a piece of fruit (apple, pear, orange or banana). Lunch is my biggest meal no more than 500 calories and it is typically high protein so like fish or chicken breast and veggies with some kind of bean dish (last week it was 6 bean soup). Then another snack this one is 200 calories and normally a protein bar or shake and then dinner green veggies (like two or three cups of spinach or greens or green beans) and broiled meat (no more than 5 oz) then a night time treat which has recently been hot apple cider.
Last week I added the belly water I doubt this makes you loose weight but it does keep me hydrated and using this I am about to get about 2L of water plus my herbal teas without sugar. In short at the top of every hour I drink 6 oz of water or herbal tea.
As for exercise I like splitting it up it is helpful so I do 15 minutes in the morning of high cardio (jump rope, jumping jacks, run the stairs) followed by 15 minutes of yoga then at night I do 30 minutes on the bowflex followed by 15 minutes of yoga or I go to the gym and use the treadmill for 30 minutes walking on the highest incline and lifting weights.
I am pretty excited I have been staying the same or loosing a little less than a pound a week since January. Overall I have lost 9 lbs but hopefully this two lb a week will continue
As for my hair I have been doing the MHM method I kind of suck at the daily thing - it takes sooo much time but my curls are clumping together nicely.
It is all a process or so I tell myself.

So I'm going to have to work extra hard to get that off then start anew. I think that I'm going to do my measurements on a weekly basis along with my weigh in day.
Today is going a lot better foodwise but there's still ice cream at home to tempt me...hopefully I'm strong enough to resist it. 
I really liked that smoothie tho...( ._.)
