Update!!!
« on: February 22, 2011, 01:56:12 AM »
So, I started exactly one week ago, on a Tuesday...When I started on Tuesday, I weighed 240, and today, I weigh 229! 11 pounds :)  I feel okay, been a little dizzy and light headed and sometimes I have to remind myself to eat because I'm not eating very much, many days I only have 12 or 13 carbs, but I'm way more tuned into my body and when I'm actually hungry, and I stick to my meal plan. My most favorite recent foods are the one minute muffins and mine are without the egg so there's no carbs! I also have discovered the joy of frying squash and zucchini...I slice them up, dip them in soy milk or almond milk and cover them in milled flaxseed and fry them in EVOO...and it is OOOOO so good, with a little Tony Chachere's and sea salt sprinkled on top and dipped in reduced sugar ketchup :D So that's my update for now :) Hopefully, I'll have more good news as I go along! Have a great day!

Wonderful news, congratulations.
Do you make the muffin as per recipe, but just omit the egg? Do you make any other changes to the recipe? I stopped making it cuz it was such an eggy taste, but didn't think it would work without the egg to make it rise.

but I'm way more tuned into my body and when I'm actually hungry,

It's interesting that you say that. I found the removal of carbs took away the "fog" that I used to experience and my mind became crystal clear.  Congrats on a great start!  ;)

Hi TabyandZayBaby!  :)

Being tuned in to our bodies' needs is very important for good health.
I feel better in so many ways (short of the cold I recently caught from my daughter).

Welcome to the beginning of your new life, TabyandZayBaby!
It keeps getting better from here on out!  ;D

Thanks guys!!! Everyone is an encouragement to me!

Down East: I just omit the muffin and make NO other changes for the bread recipe, I make it in a small round or square container, but it's bigger than a coffee mug so it rises about and inch or so and it's about the size of almost my whole hand. When I make the sweet versions I changed the Torani for sugar free syrup without aspertame (It's not Log Cabin, it has less sugar alcohols than that one but can't remember the brand) and I substitute the xylitol for Truvia...and of course on top of the cinnamon, I add nutmeg :) it's sooo good!

Doug! I feel that way, now that I'm not living to eat, craving bread and pasta all the time, I'm eating to live and find myself satisfied with more :D it's wonderful!!!

I hope you all have a GREAT day!!!

I think even if we have weeks that the scale does not move much, we have to commit to the course.  We will all have ups and downs with the darn scale, but if we give up, we have no where to go but up on the scale.   I have seen with the successful losers on this site that they stayed the course, they kept their commitment to themselves even when the scales were staying the same.  That is why this site is so helpful.  Everyone here is real and is not afraid to share their slip-ups as well as their success.   I wish you another good week ;)
