I lost 40 pounds on Medifast, which is lower carb (100 carbs a day), and kept most of the weight off for over a year. I'm going back to eating less carbs as of this week and enjoying it so far. Mainly I eat meat, eggs, nuts, veggies, and cheese. I'll be steadily tracking soon...just one step at a time! Feel free to add me!

Great job!!

CONGRATS!! You look so healhty and strong! I've been toying with the idea of paleo/primal this week and cutting out processed food. I already eat local, free range eggs (REALLY free range...they live in a backyard :) ) and I'd like to find a good local source for my meat as well. My only question is...do you count calories?

In because I'm a cat lady! I have one cat who is a crazy hunter...birds, rabbits, baby moles, cicadas, chipmunks...oh yeah, and a bat. Sigh.

Woo woo! Amazing progress, and thank you for the reminder that there are bad days mixed with the good!!

I was agreeing with you...sorry I wasn't clear that was directed to the OP! :flowerforyou:

I think it would be AWESOME if some of us did our own before/after transformations with good lighting in the after and puffed out stomachs in before. Also, the easiest way to do it is to take the "after" picture while looking great, then eat whatever and take the "before" picture.

I love having male friends on here. They tend to have much more balanced outlooks on weight loss and always have an encouraging word. In for more male friends! :flowerforyou: :love:

Why do you care so much about other people's feet??? Germs are EVERYWHERE.

Just bumping to keep following these fantastic ideas!

Fantastic!! Isn't it nice how when our calories are properly set, our bodies properly respond??? :happy:

30 year old single mom :). Always looking for new friends!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :drinker:

:mad: I'm already offended you brought this up. This whole thread is mean. I don't actually want any advice contrary to what I learned from Weight Watchers or Dr. Oz and if you diss either one of them, you are mean. :laugh: :laugh:

"I used up all of my sugar allowance on a banana!! Weight Watchers told me they are calorie FREEEEEE!"

I haven't gained too much weight back, but I did have to start fresh with a new account and it's so much better with active friends! I'm always on the lookout for new friends :)

Feel free to add me. I had lost around 40 pounds, but my ticker is reset and this profile is new. I currently ... 1. Run very slowly (training for a 1/2 marathon 2. Am on level 2 of Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 3. Am working towards lifting heavy 4. Take personal progress pics every week 5. Eat around 1600 per day plus…

Thank you!

It has worked really well for me! I'm so glad I read that study. I just sort of alternate like man, woman, man, woman, man, man, woman...whatever. As long as it adds up to 12 of each I don't think it matters exactly when you fit them in. You can do it!! Have you tried plentyoffish?? :flowerforyou: :laugh: :laugh:

I'm positive I read the same study, and it said after 12 men you switch to women. I think an even dozen of each will help you decide what it is you really want.

WONDERFUL!!

:drinker: :drinker: I turned 30 in January...

A smiling Grumpy Cat???? That can cheer anyone up!

Defintely looking to start it this week! I'm battling a cold so I'll probably wait and pick it up Thursday! Feel free to add me...new and looking for friends :)

That's it. I'm buying a bikini and wearing it EVERYWHERE and to hell with stretch marks and imperfections. Thank you!!! :drinker:

Everyone is welcome to add me :). I ran my first 5k this year, I have a 10k scheduled June 1st and a half marathon on September 8th :) Never considered myself a runner before, but it has changed my life!

Mom Employee Student Annddddd new here, so looking for friends to help encourage me! :flowerforyou:
