Hello, my name is Echo....
 

....and I'm a carb addict. Oh, this isn't CA? Well, anyway.

This is the start of week 9 for me. So far have lost 30#s. I did have 4 weeks in the middle with no weight loss, but now it has started coming off again. Figured out that I had a yeast problem.

This has to be the most wonderful thing I've ever done. Never b4 have I been able to even stay on a diet for more than a few days at a time. You know, you're on a diet for a year, but out of that year you have maybe 1-2 days/week of no cheating. Usually the 2 days before you weigh in, right? So, after I got thru the first day w/o cheating I thot maybe I would be able to get thru the 2nd day. Yup!!!! Now I've been thru 8 weeks with not a bite of anything that I shouldn't. Miracle!!! I have no cravings at all. My husband is bringing all kinds of junk home and there is no temptation. Sometimes my appetite is so dead that I'm practically sick b4 I eat. I've never, ever not had an appetite. I am hungry but the thot of food turns my stomach. Who could have ever thot that about me.

I just found this website last week. Sure wish I had known about it when I was at a stand still. Even tho I was not losing I had no thot of quiting. That was just not an option. I knew that if I quit I would be over 300#s in a minute. I just couldn't face that.

Anyway I have about 115# more to go.

THERE'S NO STOPPING ME NOW!!!!!!

Welcome Echo, :wave:

Folks here are on all sorts of LC eating plans.

Relieved to hear that someone else doesn't have an appetite.

Some days I feel sick when I eat, like queasy in the tummy.

Sure hope this holds out as it is something I have never experienced.

Welcome! Looks like you have the mindset to follow your chosen WOE to far better health! You are doing great. Congratulations!

Morning, Echo -

Welcome! You'll find lots of good advice and moral support here.

Every day I'm amazed that I'm not hungry all the time. Can't say I don't have cravings; in the past I would act on them. Now I can swat them away like an annoying gnat. My first week on program I felt nauseated and bloated alllll the time. I'm not exactly a veteran -- this is only my 2nd week, but for the most part, the need to hurl is gone. :p

Good luck to you!

Robin

Hi Echo-


WELCOME!!!!!

Hi Echo!

Welcome!

I have the same feelings. Sick to my stomach. Some nights I can barely stand to eat dinner. On those nights I usually don't eat. Some mornings the thought of eggs just does me in. However, I really do try to eat breakfast because it is the most important meal of the day.

Thirty pounds is great. What an achivement! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
