Just wanted everyone to know that I love reading the posts on this board so I thought I would share my success. Although I do not follow Atkins or CAD, which most people here seem to, I follow a variation, a cyclical ketogenic diet. It has been 2 weeks now and I weighed myself this morning and I am 12 lbs lighter!!! Just wanted to share....... :) what a way to start the weekend!!!

Congratulations Fern! I will try the CKD some time to tune my workout. Was it easy finding the book? It seems to be out of print these days.

Thanks tamarian!!!
I don't have a book but you can find excerpts from Lyle McDonald's book on the Internet and much more ckd info on the web. Plus, it helps to have a boyfriend who has done it before and is going through it with you!! (he has lost 7 lbs!)

thanks again.....

Hope this helps! Iam doing this diet for 8 weeks and so far, so good.....

Thanks again everyone for the support. I am getting on the scale again tomorrow and I am going to take my measurements for the first time in three weeks... I am actually more concerned about that than the actual numbers on the scale. I'll keep you updated.



I REALLY like the fire next to the topic.... that is what I hope the fat inside is doing....keep on burning!!!

:D

Congratulations Fern! Your success is great news for a newcomer like myself. I never thought I'd look forward to weighing myself ... what a great feeling seeing the number down more than I thought instead of up more than I thought. Just when I don't think it can get any better - IT GETS BETTER! Keep up the good work. dankar

Well, I didn't get to weight myself this morning b/c the scale at my gym is broken but I did take measurements. In 3 weeks, I have lost an inch in my waist....I am very happy about that! I'll probably weigh myself tonight and I'll let you all know on Monday. :) Have a great weekend!
