Started the plan on Monday

Hi Everyone,

I started the plan on Monday and weighed myself today(Wednesday) with a 3.5lbs loss of water weight. I was shocked because yesterday was a high carb day and I went a little overboard. I made fudge and had several bites. I was ready to give up because I thought gosh this isn't working for me. I am already over eating on day two, but then some how I loss weight. I have taken several weeks off from lifting weights, so I decided I would start back today. Today, I have lifted weights for 30 mins(Charlene Extreme) and doing the lowcarb day. I am now interested in seeing if this works.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Brandy

    Welcome to the group!! Congratz on the 3.5 lbs!! My favorite thing about CTL is that it feels like it is a lifestyle change for me. I've decided that when ever it is possible I will eat according to plan. That way, when a party or dinner out with my hubby comes up I can do so with little to no guilt. ;-) Now that I've gotten to having exercise being a part of my routine, I'm even willing to do an extra workout to "earn" a sweet treat if I really feel I need one.

    Feel free to ask specific questions when you have them! There are lots of us here with great stories and insight.

    Hey Brandy, I started again this Monday too. I also lost a good amount of water weight since going overboard on Thanksgiving day plus the rest of the weekend. I am doing P90X workouts. If you want to add me as a friend feel free to. I love the CTL program....I agree with babeinthemoon it really feels like a lifestyle rather then a diet. Best wishes!
