  • Good point MrM27... I'm not planning to eat 1100 calories for the rest of my life... I have just felt great while doing it. I do drink raw veggie/ green juice ( that I make myself) so I'm getting a lot of nutrients. I'm going to Southeast Asia... No whole foods market there :-) luckily I won't be eating pizza or pasta…

  • Thanks for the great advice! I don't mind gaining water weight... That comes off easily. I can gain 2 lbs overnight if I have too much sodium! . I do understand calories in vs. calories out. Although i swear cutting the Carbs makes all the difference for me- mostly because I crave them... once I eliminate them that goes…

  • I'm 5'3 with a large frame, muscular and have huge boobs- I look great at 135... I'm 160 now and carry it well but am a little too thick and would love to lose the tummy and slim down my arms and thighs...

  • You must have a small frame or your goals are different than mine. I'm 5'3 and thought I looked great at 135!!! I have a fairly large frame, muscular and very curvy ... I have huge boobs and butt , lol... At 110 I would look gaunt. I like my body the best in a size 5/6 or even 7/8... I'm currently 160 and don't look…

  • I only lost a lot the first week... And I do realize that was water weight... Since then it's been 1 - 1.5 pounds a week.... I think more than anything, when I stop eating carbs and get over the initial " withdrawal " period, I tend to feel really good. More energy , less fatigued and far less cravings.

  • Let me tell you, I was counting calories without counting carbs and basically eating maybe 50-60% carbs and did not drop an ounce. Not to mention carbs make me crave more carbs like crazy... As soon as I restricted my carbs to about 20% of my daily intake the pounds started to come off... At the same amount of caloric…
