Default One month

I started LC on June 4th at 271lbs. Yesterday was one month, I have more energy than I have had in, it seems like, years. My wife started eating LC when we went out to dinner and she saw me eat a salad and a big 'ol steak with butter all over it. She said "Are you off your diet since we went to dinner?" I said "This is my diet!!!!" She's converted. I think she has lost like 5 pounds, she really doesn't need to lose weight, but she feels that she can never be too thin.

Anyway...one month and i am down to 245. 26 Pounds!!!!!

My loss has slowed from just over a pound a day to about .8 pounds per day. I would be happy with 2 or 3 a week. I am soo pleased.

I have found that the more water I drink the more weight I lose. I drink 2 litres at work, and probably about that at home, plus coffee and soda.

Thanks to all of you for all of your support, and to the 3 or 4 of you who have helped me find answers to questions. I hope I can help some of you someday.

50 pounds to go to reach my goal...Long road still ahead, stay with me.

Wow! You must be so proud of yourself!

You men! It seems to be so much easier for you guys.

I'm so jealous!

Thanks for giving us the update, but don't wait till you've lost 50 lbs. to come back, which should be in another month or so!
