So I am on day 5 of this LC'ing. I have gone FIVE days with no pasta, rice, or potatoes. This in itself is HUGE for me.

I don't have a scale, so I have no way to track the pounds I have lost, but I can FEEL it. That means more to me than anything. I love coming here every day and reading all the posts. Everyone here has a different background, and is amazingly supportive. I love that. I have no support for this at home. My boyfriend thinks that what I am doing is absurd, and it's discouraging. If I can stay positive and stay excited, I KNOW I can do it.

I just wanted to really say "thank you" for everyone here being everyone elses cheerleaders!

Good for you! Do it for yourself. WHo cares what anyone else thinks!

Check the quote under my signature...it rings true for us all.

I agree! I have found the best changes in my life that I have stuck to, have been the ones I did for ME. Cheers! To the new adventure for me!

Congrats on 5 days! They were the toughest for me. I'm hoping your BF eventually will support your new lifestyle. Doesn't make sense to not support some one who is trying to be a healthier person.

Good luck!

Congrats to you!!

My DH thought lc eating was the weirdest thing he'd ever heard of until I lost 25 lbs... then 30...

Your boyfriend will come around. Hang in there!

p.s. Incidentally, I am a scale slave, but how my clothes get bigger and bigger is much more rewarding.
