Fat To Skinny

On Jan 22 I weighed 185 at 5'9" I knew I needed to drop some weight. I have written to this forum several times and the support has always been great. Today I weigh 170 and while I love the support this forum provides, each person needs to figure out their own body and formula for success. For me low carb was a no brainier but what I didn't pay attention to was portion control. I began by using the Atkins prepackaged meals to get an idea of just how little food we really need. Also, I cut out the processed meats (most lunch meats) and stayed with meat mostly in natural form. I did not exercise at all! I cannot begin to tell you how great I feel. The pounds actually did melt away. Thanks to this forum and all the people who keep sharing ideas I was finally able to figure myself out. Five more pounds and I'm moving to maintenance (which is a place I never thought I'd see) thanks to all.

Just wanted to stop back and say how great this WOL is! Spent 6 days at an all inclusive, yes had alcohol, came home to find I had gone up to 172, got back to my normal WOE and moderate exercise and today am sitting just over 165! Thanks again everyone.

Awesome !

Once you know the secrets :)

Well done! ;D

I truly hope I am able to maintain this WOL. Sitting at 160 for the first time since high school and at 57 year old I feel terrific. Cannot wait to go to doctor's in July. So many things that were negative have turned 180 into a positive, like buying pants, etc. Loving it! Thank you so much

Hi, buckster13! :)
You're doing GREAT!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I cannot see EVER going back to my old ways.
Eating carby poisons will damage my health and shorten my life.
Both those things are FAR more valuable than carbs!
I've been living the FTS lifestyle since August 2010, and I LOVE IT!!! :) :) :)
There are so many tasty, satisfying, and filling foods, why eat carbs?
You can live this way as long as you enjoy better health and a longer, better life!
