Anyone in West Florida. I am near Pensacola Fla. In Pace...

Hey, I am in Niceville! How is your diet going?

Ladyberg I am doing ok so far. down about five lbs. now. But only been on low carb for alittle over a week now thats all.
I think I am doing good.
I have been exercising alot to and its made me sore all over. I took some alieve to relieve some of the sore muscles so I could sleep last night.
I never did much exercise and now I am trying to, what my weight permits me to do and it just got all my muscles sore.
I have been walking more trying to strengthen my legs some, they are so weak sometimes I can barely stand on them. I talked to the doctor about it and he said it was because I was big and inactive and that they would strengthen up as I lost weight and exercised more. Sure hope he is right because it has me worried something may be wrong.
Will see you probably on Tuesday since Monday is a Holiday.
Have a nice week-end.

Hey, hang in there. I just started exercising. Couldn't handle it when I was heavier. I had to focus on the diet, getting the weight off and then just a few months ago, when I had about 80 pounds off, i began walking, and yes it was hard and I hurt too, but just kept doing it, and feel better now. You can do it!!! Have a good weekend, thank goodness for a long weekend!!

Ladyberg, I am trying my best to hang in here and lose this weight.
I just wish I could do some sort of exercise but I get so exhausted when I try to walk or do anything. I am walking alittle but thats all, but I get to huffing and puffing when I do walk.
Maybe when I lose some of this weight on me I will do better with the exercise.
My eating is going ok even over the Holiday week-end. I am determined to lose this weight.

ugh, I had horrible time with my diet over the holiday!! gained 5 pounds and struggling this week to work it off. Are you doing atkins diet? Just take small steps with your exercise, you'll feel better after a while! I've lost 2 of the 5, have 3 to go....and then a 100 more.....

Sorry to have been gone but my other computer got fried by the lightning and I had to go buy a new one and just now getting it all set up.
I am doing ok with my eating so far, did stray some but got right back onto plan. I was down two pounds when I seen my doctor last week.

Man, I know how it is to be without your computer!!! Still sticking with it. I did lose my 5 pounds I gained and have lost 3 more. Got real busy and missed the gym for a few weeks, but back in business now. Trying to push myself a little more at the gym, so that's my focus right now. I did both the treadmill and elyptical machine tonight and I am worn out!!! right now I am watching the bachelorette, and then going to bed!!! Keep up the good work!!

I am trying to get more exercise to but all my exercise is in the pool.
Doing ok with my eating. have not weighed in awhile thogh so don't know if I have lost any weight.

Aloha West Florida!!!!!

I'm recently relocated to Florida from Hawaii, but am from the South. Congrats on your decision to go low carb!!!! Way to go!!!!

I started almost this time 2 years ago working really slow, finding ways to stay on the induction phase without starving (or overeating). I began my excercise program the same way, a little at a time but consistent and regular. I did see my doctor every 6 months during the first year and a half, so she was in the loop.

Thunderstorm coming so I'll write more later, gotta turn off the PC.

Happy LCing!

Cookncajun, nice to hear from you.
I to am going slowlky with my low carb. I lost alot in the year 2000 and 2001 but gained some back when I went through multiple back surgeries and was layed up for so long. But when I could get around again i got back on it and began losing again but it was harder for me for some reason this time around. SDo I went slow with induction and tried not to get hungry so i ate small meals more often and did ok like that so thats what i am still doing. Losing alittle every now and then but doing ok and just taking my time with it.

Welcome back to Florida! I am at about 10 months LCing, and have done better on this diet than any I have ever been on. I didn't do so well this holiday weekend, but I am back on track since Monday. Got keep fightin' for it!!

I grew up in Tarpon Springs!
