Any ways my name is Brook Im 27 the mother of three and married just had my last son in sept. I am really looking forward to being a better healthier happier more self confident me! Nice to meet you all look forward to getting to know you!
Welcome to Support area Brook! Glad your adjusting well to low carbs. It's easy for some people but others really struggle and your success rate will probably be a lot higher since it doesn't bother you. Before you get too excited about the initial weight loss I will warn you that during the first few weeks you will be losing a lot of water weight because of the fact that you aren't eating carbs. I'm just telling you this because at some point you will start losing at a much slower rate and I don't want you to freak out or get discouraged when that starts happening because it's just part of the process. We're always happy to see new faces around here. Best of luck in your weight loss journey.
Thanks so much! Yeah I am not putting to much into what the scale says right now I am just going to wait and see what happens after induction but because this is new for me I am keeping very good records to make sure I see what happens every step of the way. My doctor doesnt belive eating this much fat and this few carbs will help me lose weight but watching my fat and cals never did so I am trying this. It has been a bit hard because I am a sugar addict lol I really love carbs, but even after two days I can feel a big differnce. I feel like a better me already as silly as that may sound. I am just really excited to keep going for once since for the first time in years of dieting I feel the best I ever have. Not hungry not slugish not craving a ton and Im sure it will get better with time! Nice to meet you!! and so awesome on the 62 lbs so far!!
lol. well i don't think any of completely lose our sugar tooth but it does get easier with time. so happy you are feeling great. that's what weightloss is all about looking better and feeling better. hope you put all that extra energy to good use!
p.s. thanks i'm hoping to get to goal sometime in August
