iamworthit Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I was just thinking about you and wondering how your low carb plan was going? I got my first fill, yesterday. I am hoping I will start dropping again because of it. It has been almost 4 months since my surgery so I had a huge gap before getting my first fill. My dr. requires a diet progression after fills. 2 days of full liquids, 2 days of mushies and then on to 'real food'. I am on the full liquids now which if nothing else may help me break this stupid plateau! Anyway, I was wondering how you were doing because I know you have been struggling a bit. I also started the "body for life" program last week. It is an older book, but one of the guys at work was telling me about it. It is a pretty good program so I am anxious to see if that helps too. Yesterday was my leg workout and I did 48 lunges on top of my normal routine and I can barely walk today. I guess that is a good sign, right? Hang in there and hope you are doing well.

Kim2BSlim Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hey! I hope you get good restriction with your fill this time. It helps so much! It sounds like you are right on track. I am losing again!! I have lost 5 lbs this week doing the low carb thing! I hit 170 today which means I have lost 70 lbs since March! I am on cloud 9... I knew I was getting in way too many carbs and this diet is perfect for me right now since I can't eat bread anyway. My downfall was snacking on some chips here and some crackers there. Now that I have cut that out and I am eating lots of lean protein those scales are moving on down! I feel great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I have cut that out and I am eating lots of lean protein those scales are moving on down! I feel great! That is awesome! I was hoping you had some results. I think once I am on regular food again I will keep the carbs to a minimum too. I bought some 'protein bullets' so I had some options after my fill and I have noticed that having the extra protein helps a lot. I will be curious to see if that works with my weight this week too. Congrats on hitting 170! I am shooting to be under 200 by Christmas. 170 seems like a dream to me. Again, glad it is working for you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJude Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi Kim, I was wondering how you were doing too! So glad your fill was a successful one and losing 5 lbs in one week - that is AWESOME! I am interesting in any low-carb recipes you are doing, in addition to cutting down on the chips and crackers (my favs too!). Can you share a few? Thanks!

Kim2BSlim Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Thanks for all the comments! I am so glad this is working. Jude~ I really don't make anything different than I used to. For breakfast I have 2 slices of bacon (eggs don't go down well for me) For lunch I usually have a green salad with ranch dressing, snacks are a stick of cheese or a beef jerkey, dinner usually consists of a chicken breast or pork chop with green beans. It is very easy to follow since I can't tolerate bread anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJude Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Aw Kim - thanks for replying back so quickly! AND most of all, to give me a sample of your daily intake...it's awesome and you know what? It's the kind of foods I like. I think I will try this when I get on my solids... Thanks and keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
