Hi Babeez1

Hope you're still there. I'm ready to get started today. This is day 1 of the two months that will change my life.

My goal is 2.5 lbs per wek on average. Aggressive but doable.

The plan:

Induction throughout, I run into serious problems when I try t move into owl.

Exercise : 20 -30 mins daily..pilates/yoga/weights with aerobic breathing

Starting Stats: 150,29-31-24 (weight,waist-lower ab-thigh)
Goal : 130 , 26-27-22

The plan

I'm still here.... I have been doing strict Induction for the past couple of weeks and it has helped me break my stall...however...I have also been exercising everyday except sat and sun. I go to the gym on MWF during lunch for weight training and I walk during lunch on T&TH. My weigh in is tomorrow...I will come back with my losses then.

best of luck to the both of you!!! YOU CAN DO IT

Good luck to you both. You can do it!!

Hi B

Not a bad day 1 for me. Ate around 40gms in carbs. Not induction but a good transition day. Also got my exercise in so I'm feeling good.

Not starting off so well today though. I had a salt water flush this morning and its kicking in. Lesson learned, take the laxative on a weekend when you dont have to work.

Have a great day!

Hi Max...I did my weigh-in and I am down to 240.5. I was 242 last week so I guess what I'm doing is working so far. I haven't been excersizing for long so I am afraid that the weight will start to stall but I will be losing inches. I just have problems being consistant with the measuring tape.

Hi B

Dont stress about the measuring tape. Just keep on doing what you know you should and the results will come.

DAY 2


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!

It started with a patty. 25gms carbs but I was feeling ill, so I took two carb blockers (supposed to block 40gms carbs) and hoped for the best.
Lunch was good, chicken & raw veg. At afternoon snack time 3:00 my day went to hell.

I had no low carb foods, but I was starving, so I decided to take two more carb blockers and hit the snack machine. One pack of cookies (25 gms). 1/2 hr later the carb effect kicked in. I was FAMISHED. So I had some Milo with lots of condensed milk. OY! That led to fast food for dinner accompanied by an apple strudel & ice cream. Interestingly I didnt even enjoy the high carb treats, what's the point in eating them if you're not enjoying them. Old habits are powerful things.

This morning I'm up 2 lbs to 152, but I figured I've been exercising consistently so maybe my measurements should be down. I'm up in all my taget areass. AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

God, it is so discouraging to work so hard, then take 1 step forward & 2 steps back. Damn, damn, DAMN!! (hope this does not offend you).

On a positive note, after about an hour of moping I dragged myself into a 20 minute workout and I feel good.

Let mw end with a quote I often share with my students " He who would succeed greatly, learns how to fail".

Have a good LC day.

..Max..
