Congratulations...
You are such an inspiration. Your story is so much like mine, like most of us.
I'm only beginning my journey, but I agree with you in that I want this to be an ongoing lifestyle for me.
Have a great journey, and keep inspiring us all.

congrats
Hi Chemlady
I just read your story and looked at your before and after pics and all I can say is WOW! Your a total inspiration. I've read and seen many success stories but your's just stirred something inside to keep me going and know that this is a very possible journey. Sometimes I get a little down and think is it really possible to lose this weight. But you've shown me it is. Thanks so much. Congrats on your lost and hope you reach your goal soon.
Happy low carbing all. Have a wonderful day.

Sweetpea33 and amazin77 thank you and i hope i can inspire many to keep going and lose the weight. The quality of my life has improved dramatically. I am so thankful that my friends mike and bob at work told me about lowcarbing...I can not tell you how happy i am that i am able to do things that we all take for granted. like getting off the couch and out of the tub. Walking the mall again...my legs used to be so swollen at night that i had alot of trouble walking. I sleep better, i eat better, i feel better and were all worth that. Theres no price i could put on the energy i have today. Like i said above...im alive again...and it feels great!
Lisa you say the sweetest things..made me feel good. Thank you.
Laurie

You GO Girl!
Sorry for the cliche, but I'm just so happy for you Laurie that I can hardly find words!
You have really done an amazing job and I absolutely know how much better you feel. And the inspiration you've just given so many others is priceless.
I'm so happy to count you among my forum buddies and I'm full-out proud of you! I'm smiling from wear to ear, sweetie pie!
CONGRATULATIONS! And continued success to you...

Thanks for all the well wishes and i have not stopped ...not quit..because there is more to go off the bode. I just thought that if i could inspire all those newbies that think this is some kind of fad that takes it off and miraculously you become thin...like some infomercial. No this is the real deal...you stick to this and you will lose....and the best part is that you will never be hungry.
Thanks again everyone and enjoy lowcarbing ...it works!
Laurie
