My first week !

[gonnagetthere]

 Well I lost 5 lbs & 5 inchs . I am happy wanted more of course . But being on this forum has helped me see that I might have been going over 20 even if it was with eggs, lettuce ,oninons,celery ,cream cheese . & my Ranch dressing. All the 1-2 carbs will add up .
    But I plan to do  better next week on watching the carbs if I lose 5 LBs & 5 inchs next week ,that would be great . Also my inchs I lost were just my waist & hips .
 Doug why is it that men lose faster then women ,NOT FAIR  ? I know you had that in your book but my sister took my book home yesterday . I am just glad yall are here for me to ask questions & talk .

That sounds like a pretty great first week to me!  Congratulations

You make me smile...it's kinda like; "bummer I only won $100,000 in this weeks lottery, maybe I'll get the million next week!"    Good start...stay the course. Sorry....but the facts as I've found are that men do indeed lose faster than woman...

Women tend to have more body fat because of their genetic make-up. Since we bear children. men have more muscle.

great results:) dont forget how good you feel today:) bottle it up & use it for fire power when in times of temptation/weakness a little goes a long way!!!!!!

Doug yall are all right     . I do feel so very ,very  good no kidding it is unbelievable how bad the surgar /starch make you feel & you dont even know it until you quit eating them . And Doug it does sound like that , there is a song out now  "I want to be a millionaire so freaking bad "  Thats my song .

If you don't think 5 pounds is much, go pick up a 5 pound bag of poison (sugar) and you'll be surprised how much it really is.

Congrats on your first week's progress!  I realize for me it's going to come off in 'baby steps' even though I would like to RUN!  But it's going the right direction and it WILL COME OFF!  The great thing is that THIS time it will stay off because we are learning a whole new way of eating that is easy to stick to.
Again, well done, gonnagetthere!!

Thanks guys & owensmith you are right I just see so many with big losses the first week . But like I said I think some carbs were creeping in with my salads . I have got fat with salads it appears that was what we were always told to eat , This is a whole different way of thinking a great way of thinking . Just got to get use to it .  Thanks guys
