Over 130 lbs. lost! A few pics...
These first three were taken Summer and Fall 2015. The last two were taken January 2018. My official starting weight was 311.8 but I topped out way above that. CW 182 lb. GW 167-172? But I am now more focusing on fitness than the number on the scale. I'm turning 41 next week and am 5'9 1/2. My diary is open to friends.

One Month of Hiit results!
I started Full Fitness Hiit October 19. The instructor weighed and measured us the second class. Today, a month later, she weighed and measured us again. I am down 12.4 pounds and have lost 4 inches off my waist and an inch off both thighs. I lost off my bust and hips too, but I was so blown away by the waist measurement,…

80 lbs down! A1C results
I am 6 months post partum with my second child. I was diagnosed with Gestational diabetes early in this pregnancy and by the end of it, I was on two types of insulin and the maximum Metformin per day. I lost steadily through the pregnancy, mainly because I was careful with my carb and sugar intake, and was down from 310 to…

No carbs, no heartburn
When I reduced my carb intake this summer, my heartburn immediately improved. Almost to symptom free. Now if I have a day with too many carbs, I'll have heartburn again that night, but it's not as bad. Usually I keep my carbs less than 80 and my heartburn is nonexistent. I've been trying to find a reasonable explanation…

Post success to Facebook?
As of this morning, I'm down 75 pounds, way over halfway to goal. I'm excited and proud today. I posted on Facebook when I had lost 50, and have been waiting until 75 to post about it again. I'm really private on FB. I rarely post anything personal or any pics. Should I post my success on the site? Has anyone posted, then…

Starting back on induction
After 3 weeks of cheating and the scale inching up, I've decided to go back on induction today. I've only been on induction once before, so I'm a little nervous. If anyone is on induction or thinking about starting it or restarting it, please friend me. I could use some low carb, ketone strip wielding friends. Any…

My husband is cheating...
...on his diet. We started Atkins together early this summer, and he was doing great! He'd lost more than 25 pounds, and his energy level was much higher. He has an aversion to the scale, so I've only got him to weigh a few times, but he really slimmed down. Now I'm pretty sure he's put almost all of it back on. I've added…

Alternate Definition of Overweight
A man once told me that his wife wasn't fat as long as she weighed less than he did. By that definition, I am no longer fat. As of this morning, my husband out weighs me by two pounds. I'm down 49.4 pounds, and he's down 14.

2 low carb chocolate dessert drinks
Chocolate Mint Rooibos Tea 1 Packet Sweetener Chocolate Redi-Whip The number of carbs are determined by how much redi-whip you put on top or stir in. Great served hot or over ice. Diet Dr. Pepper Chocolate Redi-Whip Ice Vodka also goes well in both.
