I read your plan and I can tell you that It will work if you stick to it i know it is so easy to think just one bite I have done that alot in the past. I had gained alot of weight with my little girl 70pds. and lost most of it but then gained  all thaT I LOST AND MORE. So  I know the struggle of losing weight.  The diet that you are doing what is it low carb, High protien? I started taking phentermine last tuesday and have lost 7pds already but also with doing an hour of cardio a day for 5days.  Well I wish you the best of luck and if you need to chat just write, I will do my best to give you morale support.

You can do it!!

First of all, I want to thank you for your kind comments that you left me in my blog.  I am new to this site and really wasn't expecting to have such a great welcome! 

After trying all the diets, I know what works and what doesn't (for me anyway)  I have PCOS..long story short but it's an endocrine problem that is being diagnosed more and more and women..especially those overweight.  I'm not using that as my crutch...but it makes it very difficult to lose weight. 

What works for me is low carb.  I've done Atkins, over and over...time and time again.  I'm basically a carb addict.  So with that said.  My new way of eating is the Carbohydrate's addict "diet" (hate to use that word).  You eat 2 Atkins meals and then for the 3rd meal- you eat whatever you want within that one hour time frame.  I can't exactly explain why or how it works but it has alot to do with how your body and blood sugar is effected when you consume the only carbs within that one hour time frame.  Both my Ob/Gyn and her husband (who's also a doctor) did this way of eating and it worked.  Exercise is another thing that I'm doing...3 times a week for 30 min., Walking, dancing, Taebo.  I'm changing it up.  (I get bored too easy) 

Low calorie doesn't work for me at all.  I feel hungry and deprived and then I will just totally cave in.

With this way of eating..I atleast know that I'm not going to be doing without some of the things I like.  If I snack- then its something low carb.

I wish you the best of luck and look forward to hearing from you and your success!  Remember YOU CAN DO IT.  Baby steps.

Good luck!

Motivation!!

Keep that motivation up! You WILL succeed! The pounds wont just fall off. Work them off and it wil lbe well worth it. Surgery is such a permanent and strong decision and you can do it without it. Work at it and stick with it. Dont cave in to temptations. One thing that I have found that helps is drinking lots and LOTS of water. Makes me feel full and I dont snack. Try not to eat after 6:00PM this way you wont go to bed on a full stomach. You are doing wonderful! Keep your chin up. :o) Hugs to you!
