GURLEY_GIRL3

Im coming back on MFP in hope I can lose weight and keep it off. I am looking for friends following the low carb lifestyle..its the only diet I have ever been able to stay on and lose weight w/o starving all day!! I would love tips and how other low carbers are doing.

I follow a high protien/low carb diet. I concentrate more on the Protein count then the carbs though but my numbers usually always end up ok.

I started the 17 Day Diet last Jan 3, am down 62lbs (64lbs it fluctuates) 10lbs to go and I LOVE IT. It's low carb, in it's first cycle and adding little of the good carbs as you progress to differently cycles. It's super easy, you really don't count calories ( though I really like coming on MFP for all the great support I get).

Not really, at first I kept the book with me AT ALL TIMES, but it's actually really easy to stick too. The first Cycle is really easy, the first time I did it back in Jan.2011, I lost 14lbs the first 17 days, it really keeps you motivated when you see the scale move so fast! I learned so much to, what's really important , as far as healthy fat, and no sugar, I myself find it a surpise I have been doing it for 1 yr, and lost most the weight in 6 months...least last 10lbs are soooo hard, but I have to do it! Even through the holidays, I may have gained 2-3 lbs, but 3 days back on, I am back down. I have a friend who has a blog all about it, http://tksinclair.com/. Take a peek... Have a great day and congrats on the weight loss! If you have any questions, feel free to mssg me!
