Low Carb Diva

January 30, 2012

Sorry I did not post a weekly update on the 23rd like promised but I have been dealing with health issues of my own and back issues with DH.

So today marks two full weeks doing JUDD. I am pleased to report that I am down to 190 pounds. The scale I have is not digital so I have to really look at the numbers to see what I weigh and I think I was more than the 195 I posted when I started JUDD. But I will take the 5 pounds and in two more weeks we shall see if the magic of JUDD will continue.

So here is some basics about how I am eating....

Wow! I can't believe that it is already October. Time just flies by, doesn't it? Weight as of today is 190 pounds. Only 1 pound away from being out of the 190's and into the 180's.

It feels pretty good. I have not been 190 in over 15 years. That's a long time to be so fat. I am so thankful that hubby and myself made a commitment to lose weight 6 months ago. I also am looking forward to enjoying each ten pound milestone that I reach.

If you are still playing around with your weight loss stop it. In three months you could weigh less then you do right now.

With low carb I have the freedom to sometimes eat things like low carb pumpkin cheesecake, nachos without the chips with cheese and sour cream, almond flour pound cake, even low carb wraps (only once in a blue moon cause I don't like the soy) and so much more.

Start today. It's not easy sometimes but it is so worth it!

July 6, 2011 - Day 23

I am pleased to report that a size 3X skirt I purchased a few years ago is now falling off of me! Yahhhoooooo. Now for the rest of my clothes to get to big to wear.

The next 3 months are going to be awesome. It will mean baggier clothes and a smaller me.

If you have not started yet; what are you waiting for? Get busy losing the pounds. This is day 23 of five months of eating low carb. No pizza, no cake, no cookies, no fast food.

Tried on an old pair of size 18 jeans last week and they are about an inch away from buttoning. Pretty awesome.

Ironically pants I have in a size 22 are not exactly falling off of me. They are baggy but not to the extent I think they should be.

Oh well. Just one of those little mysteries.

Happy Summer Everyone! Let's make the next three months the best yet for weight loss.

If you are on any of the low carb boards you may see people that seem to lose 5, 6, 7 pounds a week or more. This seems to fly in the face of the experts out there who tell us that any more then 2 pounds a week of weight loss is muscle and not fat.

Do those low carbers who lose huge amounts of weight consistently every week know something that the rest of us don't?

Maybe....
