Yay!!! Ive lost 30 lbs
« on: April 05, 2011, 08:11:37 PM »
Hi all.. Well I am excited to share that I have lost 30 lbs to date, since I started in January.. I am so excited... I have taken a bit longer, but that is ok.. I am so happy with the results.. I have been able to reduce my Metformin as well...

Im almost done with my semester and I will have more time to post till my next semester.. I am going to only take 1 class and at that, its only 6 weeks long.. Then I am off for the rest of the summer... I plan to set forth a good menu and be able to plan even more..

Ive shared with my Endocrinologist the different things that I have learned with F2S and he likes it a lot...

Thanks Sherrie. I know its not as fast as others, but Im still losing.. also the change in my meds have helped me alot too..  I know that during the summer I will be able to focus more and hopefully lose a bit quicker..

awww Thanks all...

Umpa, I will not lie, its been a roller coaster for me.. Between everything I have going at the same time, it can be easier to turn to fast food or the wrong foods.. But I made a commitment to myself at the beginning of the year. I became a bit discouraged at first when I didnt really see results, but every body is different.. Then I cut back on fat as well and that has really helped me..

I may be going slower than some, but over all, I am happy that I am losing.. I think going to my Endocrinologist also helped me.. I need to point out again, that your cookbook has helped me sooooooo much... I havent had time to do any baking, but you know that is actually good for me right now..

Your cookbook is such a crucial tool in my life and I am glad that I have it.... Dont lose faith in me yet!!!! :)

You give me such inspiration!

awww thanks Umpa.. (chuckle) hmmm, yeah, you see through me lady..  ;)  you are very right, my faith did go down a lot, but it really was the forum and their honest comments that go me on track and I told myself that I cant be dwelling in a "self pity " party.. Just do it damn it.. (sorry for the word)

 ;D ;D ;D Hooray for Alex!!! ;D ;D ;D

Faith in yourself is a MUST to be successful at ANYTHING in life.

I've always known your weight will come off IF you allowed yourself to stick to the FTS rules.
Like Umpa, my only concern was your faith in yourself.

Now that you know that nothing can prevent you from reaching your goals except you... Go for it, Alex! ;)
What you do today is what matters!
