I was at a friends party a few months back and I saw this picture, that helped to get me motivated. I still have a long way to go but I have to say im so frigggggiin happy to finally be in Onderland....Why you ask? Because now I don't have some dreary number to look at - 30 more pounds to go till I hit 199lbs, now I get to count in tens...10 more pounds till the 180s haha. Thats probably retarded but to me it makes the journey seem so much shorter when you only have to count in tens to achieve your goals.
I have been working out anywhere from 3-5 days a week I started at 1 day and that in itself practically killed me. A walk down a flight of stairs and I was winded....I did say Down a flight right...Now I can swim for 90 min a wack and because I have been lifting heavy 2-3x a week I look much smaller than the scale says so that makes me happy. I have about 30-40lbs left but for now atleast I am out of the RED zone
I can mainly see the difference in my face and my stomach but I can tell my legs are getting stronger.

I was 196 a couple of years ago and I didnt look this skinny its because of the weight lifting, I never did it before but ive been doing it for 3 months and see so much definition...I wish the scale reflected what I see in the mirror0 -

How tall are you? im about 5 foot 3
Ok got it now in order haha. Im 5'5"...I was 5'6" apparently I shrunk with the weight haha0 -

Thank you! You know what kills me though, I reduced my carbs and upped my protein/fat and water intake so my cellulite practically disappeared yet Im still a size 15
It could be worse I started out a size 18 lol 0 -
MiniChef_Kriss wrote: »I reduced my carbs just cause of the diabetes i had, Diabetes is gone now but i still eat low carb (i think?) somewhere between 50-70g per day after subtracting fiber. Im sitting at size 16 but i started at size 20-22. 16's a bit big but next size down doesnt quite fit yet lol so a lot of my clothes are kinda big
Ya my doctors diagnosed me with ADHD a few months back and said I was close to diabetic...Once I went low carb my brain functioned better and all my signs for both disappeared completely. My doctor said some body's just dont take to carbs well. I eat typically between 50g-100g a day-ish (in comparison to the almost 400g a day I was having).
But you look great in your profile pic, you don't look overweight at all. Congrats on beating diabetes, just the signs I did have were enough to scare me.0 -
Dam thats crazy most of the people I know take around 10 units as well. Did you used to drink alot of soda by chance? Thats where a majority of my carbs came from0

MiniChef_Kriss wrote: »nope, most of my carbs were from binge eating and my diet was a lot of pasta, pizza, donairs, big macs and chinese food, burgers lol
Ya Fast food and pastas where another one of my weaknesses. I have pasta maybe once a month but even then I typically say no because if Im going out, I have to do the bread sticks, have to do the Alfredo, have to do wine and desert LOL0 -
Where are you from that you eat donairs, I used to LOVE those when I lived in Germany, that and Turkish Pizzas lol. Great food for when your drinking0

Made the transition a lot easier cause im such a picky eater when it comes to most things outside of the meat and bread blocks lol
But that is how i am too, although ive not gone to a restaurant yet, i did attend a cooking class just for fun and we made pizza as an app and then salmon + potato salad and then this banana cream pie in a glass thing as a dessert and i wasn't saying no to any of that hahahaha
That sounds delicious! I cant cook so I stick to microwavable dinners and protein shakes lmao jk0 -
Haha Ya I definitely need to learn how to cook, I have been trying0
