    I started MFP at 196 too.. So by low carb,did you cut out fruit or just breads and stuff? And what is OMAD?

    Oh ok i see, OMAD is one meal a day. I am on week 8, and I have lost 15 lbs, so my journey so far closely resembles yours,except you lost 6 lbs in one week!!! I truly hope my weightloss continues as steadily as yours. I see you didn't start walking till week 28,is that right? All I do is walk for now 4 miles daily, 5x a week. And I also do strength training 20 minute a few times a week.I really get inspired and motivated from your journey, thank you for posting!!! I hope my results will be as yours ate,you look terrific, I bet it feels great!!

    6 pounds was the first 11 days and that was mostly water weight...Yes no walking till week 28...Thanks and I feel great :) Are you doing low carb? I didn't eat fruit...I ate lettuce, onions, peppers,cheese, meats and then near the end I started eating low carb wraps and low carb breads...You're doing great so far!!!

    Thank you! No im not low carb, i love fruit too much!! I just count calories. I was so motivated and inspired by your post earlier ,I took my son to the park ,so I could get in an extra mile or two!! And im glad I did!! I really hope I can lose the weight as you have.

    I would have to say that the most important tip would be to never give up and to take it day by day :)

    My blood work for my glucose is now in the normal range :)
    Thyroid levels are in the normal range too :)
    My HDL cholesterol went from being in the normal range to being better than normal :)
    My LDL cholesterol went from 128 down to 102.8 so I only need to drop 2.8 more points to be in the normal range but my total cholesterol is in the normal range so I'm happy with that :)
