Hi Stephanj! That's wonderful to hear that you are SO close to reaching your goal!!! CONGRATS! So I'm curious to know more about your troubles with Ph 2, please. Do most carbs make you hungrier & do you find that when you start reintroducing carbs you gain?

Yes...it's nice we can all struggle through Ph 1 together!! lol! It's GREAT though to hear how your doing & that your tummy is feeling slimmer....AWESOME...& that you're feeling SO much better!!!! It really is amazing how even a few lbs can make such a big difference ( we lose body fat quickly on this diet...have to read…

Hi everyone!!! I'm here as well :wink:. Haven't had much internet access this past week & I REALLY slacked off & didn't log or workout & didn't eat so faithfully...but I'm still won't let myself give into having sugar!!! lol I'm reminded how much better I feel when I follow this plan! I have gained back a couple lbs so…

Welcome Jenn!!! (We're a pretty easy going group so anything goes! :wink:) I wish you MUCH success & we're here to help each other along the way so keep in touch! Have a great day! ~Laurie

Awesome results Mastone99!!!! WooHoo!!!! Keep up the good work :D

Hey...thanks for that reminder about muscle weighing more! Janelle...you're really putting your ALL into exercising! GOOD FOR YOU!!! Are you enjoying it more than you thought you would? Well I'm sure you will have EXCELLENT results! :flowerforyou: I must say that I've never been much into exercising I've really enjoyed…

AWESOME...good for YOU!!!! I ended up getting the stomach flu today so I had to pass! I was quite sore today...but that's not a bad thing, hey! Keep up the good work...it'll pay off & your workouts will get easier & easier in no time. :smile:

YAY for you Janelle!!! Sounds like you really pushed yourself...be careful. That's probably a good idea to have a 'little' :wink: carbs before your workout! Next time I do it I'm going to make sure I eat over 1200 calories that day because I felt so tired today (normally I've had a lot more energy). I also have Leslie's…

Oh yes... I do remember reading about not doing strenuous & I know I've not eaten enough today & I actually had to lay down for a nap...which hardly ever happens! Hmmm...maybe in Ph 1 it would be better to start out just doing part of the workout or something else that's easier??? I'll be starting Ph 2 on Wed, so it should…

Ok...I just finished my 1st workout!!! Whew...it's been a LONG time coming! :laugh: It felt good...tough but not as bad as I remembered it to be. Let me know how you like it. Glad u have a little workout partner. :happy:

That's AWESOME that your clothes are getting looser....I bet if you kept track of your body fat you would see the results as well! I know when I give into my cravings then I just can't stop eating the bad stuff & then I feel gross & guilty! Self-control is MUCH easier when we stay away from the sugar all together, hey! But…

Hmmm.... that's a good question!!! I know I need to start exercising again but am I really ready for it? Well @ this point I can't see myself doing it every day but I'll aim for a couple days/week...I think :wink: I do need the accountability FOR SURE!!! So when do we start? Who else will join us? (I've seen lots of before…

Yes...I think that wouldn't be a bad idea to extend your Ph 1 for a few extra days...especially when we lose the most weight in Ph1, hey! Good for you to keep @ it & for taking so much initiative on here! You've given lots of positive feedback. That's awesome..we all need encouragement & good advice. Thank-you Janelle!…

Height: 5'6" Goal weight: 170-175lbs. 10/15/2012: 198lbs. 10/20/2012: 192lbs. 10/27/2012: 191.4lbs. This week has been a little more frustrating for me. I did gain a couple of lbs back & then yesterday I finally began to lose again! whew!!! I only had 1 fruit yesterday (instead of 2) ...so I'm going to see if that helps…

Thanks Janelle! The recipes look YUMMY!!! (Better wait until the morning to try them...lol!) A couple other ideas are: Banana Egg Pancakes (fry 2 eggs,1/2 banana, & cinnamon) Baked Apple with Greek Yogurt & Cinnamon (or jam) ~Laurie

I'm glad u realized that u were eating too few calories!!! I think that's been my problem the last few days...think I need to start logging my food again! :wink: How is everyone doing with our "Challenge" I always feel so much better when I limit my carbs! Having a HARD time getting back into exercising though. Is anyone…

Height: 5'6" Goal weight: 170-175lbs 10/15/2012: 198lbs (start) 10/20/2012: 192lbs Loss of 6lbs which hopefully will never return :wink:

I started yesterday & I'm reminded at how much better I feel eating low carb!! My mind feels so much clearer, more energy, not as stressed,... I love the simple menu & feel quite satisfied which really helps! I get slight headaches from sugar withdrawals but I'm not craving sweets. Hope you all have an AWESOME week :smile:

Hi! I've tried low carb in the past & lost 10 lbs in no time & I felt wonderful! ...but lately the weight has been creeping back because I haven't been very faithful. I'm SO ready for a fresh start & am very thankful to find this group! As of yesterday: ~start weight was 198 ~goal weight is 170 ~height is 5'6 I hope you…

Thank-you SO much for posting this!!!! Amazing changes from the inside & out! May the Lord continue to bless you richly. :flowerforyou:
