Juniper Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I had quite a bit to lose, but I just wanted to say I am down 20lbs in a little over a month doing LCHF. First I lost 5, gained 3 back, and then lost a total of 15. Nothing happened for about 1.5 weeks and I had my epic carb fail. I just weighed myself today, after a full week back LCHF and I am down an additional 5 lbs. Woot! Excited and I feel good!!! If anyone else has some good weightloss health testimonies please share!

Soror Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Kudos to you! I'm currently gaining about a pd per week here, I expect that to continue for 13 weeks or so :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggieamy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I wish I had a good weight loss story. I'm working on. I do have a Hip Hip Horray for you though! Good work on the weight loss!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Another Jen Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'm down 16 pounds since about the middle of July. I'm also doing low carb. I have also become militant about being gluten free when I do have carbs and I think that is a big thing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justamouse Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) I'm down to 130, and just slipped into a size 6 from a size 14. I wanted to get to 120, as that was always my natural weight, but I have to see how I go-meaning that after all these kids, weight is distributed differently, and I have to see where my too skinny point now is. Who knows whose body I have now.... :D I feel better than I have in about 13 years (the last time I was LCHF). I mean, it's flat out amazing. I am really angry at myself for not listening to that inner voice telling me to do this all these years. I could have saved myself a lot of anguish over my hypoglycemia.

Melissa in Australia Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 congratulations :001_smile: I have lost just under 7 Kg in 3 1/2 weeks. I was only 4 kg overweight, so now I am in my healthy weight range. I would like to loose another 2 kg. I am using a calorie counter (web based).

justLisa Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 WOW!! I once lost 100 pounds. I started when dd was a baby and it took me about a year, so about 5 years now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Awesome Job! :party: My doctor recommended I do this...she thinks I have Celiacs disease. She said high fat and very low carbs and hopefully my stomach will not hurt all day. No bread, sugar and only natural things. What do you eat daily? My husband does it..and he's lost 25 pounds and feels great. I'm just interested in what others eat. Thanks!

JenniferB Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I don't know what that diet is, but Yay! That's so cool! I lost some, maybe 15 or so running on the treadmill. I gained a few back, so I need to get back on it. Just in time for when I need it most, my after school decompress time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abeille Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Congrats! :party: I've gone back to LCHF eating too, and am down 15 lbs in the last month. I'm on my cycle though, so hoping to see the scale bump down another couple of pounds when it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwesternMom Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 That's great! For weight loss inspiration that isn't all about exercising a lot, I like the Friday stories on marksdailyapple. Some of them are really amazing, some of them are more "regular people" but they are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juniper Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) :iagree: Can you tell us what you eat in a typical day/week, Juniper? Jennifer, this is not Orthodox friendly...just a heads up. :) Begininng of the week I cook a Costco package of Bacon and reserve the drippings. So, today I had coffee, with fresh goats milk and xylitol and blue cheese wrapped in turkey. I was in a hurry and actually eating as I ran out of the house. I got home and grabbed some almonds and water as a snack. For lunch, I dump a spoonful of bacon grease in a pan added two of my free range chickens eggs, and a half bag of peppers and onions and some sliced salami, I had left over from mini quiches I made for dinner the other night. I topped the eggs with Zaatar, because I had a craving!!! When I wanted snack I grabbed a Baby bel cheese I have. I had a chocolate craving this afternoon so I mixed a peanut butter and cocoa with xylitol. For dinner dh made a Ceasar salad with cucumbers and I sauteed up portabellas, onions, garlic in more bacon grease and white wine I also enjoyed a glass of white wine. That was today. I often interchange bacon grease, butter and coconut oil. The other night I roasted okra in coconut oil and herbs and it was delish! I figured I would give you a real day. It wasn't great, but I feel good and am happy. :) Edited August 24, 2012 by Juniper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8circles Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Good for you! That's amazing! Since november, I've lost 45 lbs. I've gained back a few but am trying to get back on track. Im a food addict so its quite a struggle for me as its how I cope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferB Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm afraid I couldn't do that diet. I have trouble digesting proteins. I feel best when I have lots of veggies and a little whole grains and a little if no animal protein. I do enjoy butter though, and coconut oil. :D I don't do well with sugar either, so I avoid refined flours, pastas, & sugars. Congratulations on the weight loss. It must feel really good! I just got back from the gym. Thanks for the inspiration. I needed to get "back to it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
