Hi there!
If you have room for one more, I'd love to be buddies with you all!
I've been LCing since last January, and have lost about 30 lbs so far. My fiancee and I went on Atkins together to try to lose weight before our wedding next May. He's lost over 55 lbs and is getting close to his goal weight--it's so frustrating how men lose so much easier.
I was not a heavy child. In fact, I was a dancer in my younger years and really never had to think about what I ate--when you're dancing 5-7 hours a day you pretty much burn everything off. Once I quit dancing, though, I started putting on weight. Slowly at first, but then I developed hypoglycemia and the pounds came on fast.
I just love the LC WOL. I feel better than I have in years. Aside from the weight loss, my blood sugar is much more stable than it's ever been...I found out that I'm not as moody as I (and everyone else!) thought I was--it was just insulin overload!
My next mini-goal is to get under 200 lbs. by late October. I have to order my wedding dress then and if I can get down one more dress size, it's $50 cheaper.
Louise, I looked at your pictures and you're AMAZING! So gorgeous! I think I'm going to post them on my wall to look at when I'm feeling tempted (which still happens too often).
Tanya, congratulations on quitting smoking! I've not been able to kick that yet. (One vice at a time
)
