Joanne Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 You may remember my post about considering weight loss surgery. I had tried, and tried to lose weight. I knew low carb was the way I needed to go, due to my body's issues. But I wasn't losing, even on program. Looking back, I think it was a combination of too much dairy, stress, and lack of sleep. On September 7, I started. Lost a decent amount. Had the car accident Oct. 15. When back on the diet the Sunday after thanksgiving. I've lost a total of 24 pounds. My 18w's are WAY too big. And the waist on my regular 18's is very loose (but not the bottom or thighs, yet). Soon, I won't have to - or be able to - shop at Catherine's anymore. I am no longer mordibly obese - "only" severely obese. Soon, I'll hit "obese" and then "overweight." Best, I feel GREAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Joanne, congrats! So very happy for you. I always love your posts on these boards and you contribute so much. By the way, you don't look obese at all. You're beautiful. Not that obese people can't be beautiful. That does sound rather stupid. Just thought I'd say that you are gorgeous and you don't look obese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 That is so wonderful. I'm thinkinging that dairy is contributing to these annoying extra lbs I'm carrying. I've been good for weeks and weeks but my weight will.not.budge. This Never happened before, but now that 50 is looming the game has changed.

Just thought I'd say that you are gorgeous and you don't look obese. Thank you. I don't feel obese. Very overweight, yes. I've always weighed more than I look. I had a coworker ask me when I was going to quit losing, with the tone that it would be soon. I told her I had a long way to go. I shared I still weighed over 200 pounds and she was shocked.

Joanne Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Fantastic! You are an inspiration. Are you still doing the Trainer's Diet thing? I still have some Personal Trainer Food in my freezer. I am saving it for when I am back to work (both jobs close during the Christmas holiday). One of the reasons PTF works for me is my busy life and the fact that I have to eat most of my meals away from home. I plan on another order when I need it and budget allows. In the meantime, I am going old school low carb - meat, eggs, veggies. Minimal dairy, good fats (avocado, coconut, olive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Excited for you! Unfortunately I put back on the 25 pounds I lost before we went overseas. Anxiety and bad habits are my downfall. I'm thrilled for YOU! Hoping to go back on a plan soon--I need the structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
