Hello!

Good Evening to all my friends and family!


I know you all have been waiting with bated breath to see if I was going to write and tell you about my Dr appointment from Friday!  Well some of you have heard the news so far! I am down 40 pounds, and 6 inches lost from my waist....and the weight loss from this Dr appointment was 5 pounds! I know only 5 pounds so why the disappointment you are asking....well I was expecting more! But as they say a loss is a loss! Yes, yes, yes, I will accept this win against the injustice of losing weight!

I am winning the battle and just have not won the war yet, but there is still plenty to lose and I am heading in the right direction for reaching my goal. What you say reaching your goal what is the poundage left to reach this wonderland goal! Well I will let you know the total start weight once I reach closer to the goal weight!

Oh by the way I did go shopping and was able to drop a whole pant size and depending on the style 2 pants sizes...and I have dropped some sizes in shirts as well....so we are at least heading in the right direction LOL!!!! I do have days that I still struggle with and so want to give up this fight, but why now when I am winning the daily battle! Oh yeah...I see you SMH....go on with your bad self and join on the band wagon, the more the  merry I always say!

Hope you all enjoy the read today!

Weekend Thought!

Good Afternoon!

It has been quite awhile since I have written, many things have been swirling around in my mind. One of  the things swirling around in my mind; what am I going to write about. There are so many topics and finding just one is very challenging! I have been following a site that focuses on low carb high fat diet and the ability to lose weight.  SO many members have lost so much weight since they started his/her weight lose journey. It truly is amazing some have lost over 30-40 pounds in three months or more. Some have lost over 100 pounds in a years time frame! It truly is amazing how once you begin to accept the process of changing your lifestyle positive things begin to happen!

Changing your food habits helps the process of losing weight. For example eating high carbs keeps the weight on and eating low carbs helps to trick the body into losing weight by starting to burn the fat that has been stored in your body.  For example when you eat a "bagel" with cream cheese it will take the body 2-3 days to burn off the bread.

My weigh in coming up this week and I have been working extremely hard these past 2 weeks to eat less than 20 carbs per day. I know  you are saying "less than" 20 carbs that has to be hard. You are probably asking how do you eat less than 20 carbs. Well it all depends on the food you are interested in eating. I was able to make some "oopsies bread" which has no carbs and can be used to eat hamburgers, or eat with salad and dip in your olive oil! Oh yeah. I did make some "cream cheese" pancakes with zero carbs! SO go on with your bad self and keep eating all that high carb bread food!

Some other good food choices are around vegetables and protein. Using Atkins milk to make milk shakes and then freezing them make a really good ice cream treat!  Eating chips are based on using zucchini and frying them.  SO for everything you feel you cannot give up I have found an alternative!  A good snack is "green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes together with some salt and pepper and submarine salad dressing.  I wish all that take the low carb route the best of luck in the weight loss journey!

One thing to remember is to add some exercise into the lifestyle changes. It can be just walking, swimming, running or weightlifting.

God Speed!
