Lost 18 lbs in 3 .5 weeks!
« on: September 09, 2010, 09:15:01 PM »
Amazing!  A good friend encouraged me to buy Doug's book.  It really is not dieting...and I am not hungry.  I don't have those strong food urges anymore because my insulin is not spiking!  This is awesome.  You can do this!

OK...Updated the ticker!  Lost a little more.  Will not weight again until Monday morning...but I have been very diligent and have been excercising too.  I used to play a great deal of tennis and I have resumed playing a few days per week.  I love the feeling of accomplishment.  It feels so good to finally be going the '"other way" with regards to how my clothes are fitting.

I travel a great deal for my job.  I was eating sugar, sugar, sugar, and the only physical activity I was getting was my walks through airport terminals.  This really helps my "mental attitude!"

I broke 220lbs today!  I am at 219...that is 11 lbs from my high of 230.  Feeling great.  In addition to avoiding the sugar, playing tennis really helps me drop the weight!

Today I hit 13 lbs lighter than I was when I started!  I feel so much better already.  In my opinion, Physical activity, in addition to eliminating the sugar, is really helping me to go pretty quickly.  "Sugar is the first thing to burn."  It really is simple!

Two days ago, I had a very bad day for sugar cravings...pizza was calling my name all day...from 7-10pm I was dying for ice cream...I had some sugar free Jello...the next day was fine and I had no cravings yesterday.  I travel for my job, so I have not weighed in a few days, but I am three notches tighter on my belt!

Found Shirataki Tofu noodles!  Going to have Chicken Parm tonight!

Best to all.
JP

Hang tight JP, those cravings WILL subside. Take beef jerky, almonds, cheese sticks and other proteins and fats with you on your trips for quick easy craving killers!
