OK, this is amazing. I have had a struggle to get this weight off no matter how few carbs I eat but what is even more amazing is that in the last week, after putting on 6lbs from steroids a few weeks ago from an injury, I've lost the 6lbs plus another 3lbs! I finally broke through the 170s....ye hah! Now down to 169.5 and hopefully still moving down after 3 months on the program. Some loose faster some loose slower...I guess my metabolism is slow as molasses at my age of 45. At least it's coming off. I need to get back on an exercise regime once I'm healed but Doug reminded me that I could probably do my yoga so I will start back on that today.
My confidence has also improved because I have stuck to this and disciplined myself no matter what others said or tried to push me to "cheat" on my lifestyle. I have stuck to my guns and didn't give in. I am also finally going to pursue a goal of mine (my heart is music) to become a Worship Leader which means going back to get my MA in Worship Studies-Leadership so I can lead others to sing praises. I hope this is alright to mention on this site. lol I will find out if I am accepted to LU by the end of the month.
Thank you all for your support and for Doug and Umpa with the book and recipes. You have changed my life. (sniff) I'm getting teary eyed. lol
