Yesterday I went to the beach with my hubby and our friends. While they were eating Subway sandwiches with chips and trail mix I was enjoying a couple of turkey burgers cooked in olive oil and a bag of salted peanuts. For dinner we went to a buffet and I stuck with meats, low carb veggies and sugar free dessert. I'm sure I ate way too much but I spent several hours out in the ocean treading water and swimming against the current so I feel like I needed the fuel. Today I feel great and am having no major cravings.
I also managed to use enough sun block to not be a total lobster today, that's a big achievement for me!15 -
@StacyChrz that's wonderful. Both the focus on quality foods and the no lobstering. That's what we're supposed to do -- enjoy life.4

X-post from the Low-Carb Ladies over 50 board...
My FBG has been steadily dropping, under 120 all of last week. This morning it was 98! Take that A1C and stick it in your pipe and smoke it. I'm not really losing weight at this point, but hey, whateveh's my body is healing and it's got a lot of work to do. Starting with not being inundated with insane amounts of glucose and insulin.13 -
Wearing some very pretty panties that the husband bought me today. He loves to buy me pretty stuff but they had just become so uncomfortable. Fit nicely again

I bought a couple of new things this weekend... YA'LL... I FIT IN TO A SZ 12 bottom (zip up and button sz 12)! I was in a 18/20 in January 2016.19

I had to renew my drivers license and I was looking forward to getting a new photo! That was back in July. I just bought new work uniforms. I went from 38 waist pants to 32, and my shirt went from XL(tight) to L!17

Dang it! I'm so bummed I didn't take a pic of my old license! I had mine done in June2

I've had 2 NSVS this week...one of the bowlers on my team asked Saturday night if I had lost weight. Given that I've only lost 12#, I was thrilled she asked. The other NSVS is clothing related...I was a slacker last week and did not do laundry. Sunday, I grabbed a pair of shorts I have not worn in at least 2 years--Size 10s. I had a bit of a muffin top, but I was able to close them no problem. Woo-hoo! Victory15

My latest NSV is that I went out in public today wearing yoga pants. It's been 15 years since I felt comfortable doing that.16

I had to sit and debate back and forth with myself for about a month before I decided to go ahead and share my progress picture. I'm really happy about how far I've come so far and now I'm trying to focus on building more muscle bulk. I have my Fitbit "motivator" on in the one picture.26 -

Wow! Such amazing progress in a short amount of time! Way to go, you look great!0 -
Awesome work! @ruffneck813
NSV for me today is that I recognized right away what caused me to run off course and fixed it as of today. I'll drop the 6 lbs I put on in no time. Positive attitude!14 -
Damn! Good job @ruffneck813 !!!1

@jassnip thats an awesome NSV! Weight loss or not your health is THE most important thing of all.
And congrats to everyone else as well. These are some great motivators.
For me, I am playing golf more often and bought myself a carrying bag. So now I don't use any type of cart and carry my clubs on my back. Great excerise11 -
@ruffneck813 Great progess! Thanks for sharing.1

@ruffneck813 Damn dude! you are hot! Great work.
@daylitemag Thank you. Can I just say, I'm impressed with hauling golfclubs around the course. I know I couldn't do it.2 -
Finally my size 10's (US) and 14 (UK) fits me!! I am currently doing my happy dance.

I've got 2- My ultimate goal was about 8 lbs less than I am now, but I've been stalled for a while so I've been trying to embrace my current weight as my new goal. Then I realized the other day that I've been at this weight for two months now. This is the smallest I've ever been as an adult, and I've managed to maintain it for two months. Woot woot!
Also I joined a gym and hired a trainer to help me gain back some of the muscle I've lost over the past 16 months. She told me I look fit! Who, me? Lol.17 -
Thanks for the morale boost everyone! The "before" and "in progress" pictures I posted are about 6 months apart but I was already starting to work towards this for months prior to taking the first photo. Seriously commit ed to a LCHF way of eating and also working out at the gym when time permits. The last pic was taken end of July and I just turned 50 in August. I'm definitely digging this new healthier way of life!10

Okay my NSV that I just have to add today.
My collarbone! Sounds so stupid to put here but it's something that had made me smile since yesterday afternoon. I've actually been irritating my skin because subconsciously I've been feeling it and rubbing it because I'm just so dang happy about it being noticeable!!16
