65.2lbs difference between the photos.
82.2lbs lost all together.
55.2lbs lost since the 2010 rrreee start.
12.1lbs lost since the 15th of last month. It's been an interesting month, and I didn't seem to get round to photos until the 21st.
Happy with the diet though.
Wowwww! You look phenomenal! Years younger, too--are you Merlin, to age backwards in this fashion?
Truly, you look lovely and I hope that my results are even half as good as yours have been. Thank you for sharing photos of yourself as you lose; they're very inspirational!
I saw your other post about the inches lost and was impressed. But to see the change in your picture really floored me. You really have become younger!
In this run-up to Christmas (eating up to make space for festive food), coupled with weather bad enough to limit my shopping choices a bit, I've been more winging it but I've been trying:
to keep my carbs at 40-50%
to keep my calories at 1400 (apart from a recent 30 day flirtation with 1200)
My standbys are
Breakfast: 1/4 cup oats microwaved with water + 4oz plain set yogurt and 1/2oz ground flaxseed/nut mix + 1 tsp sugar
Lunch or Dinner: 4-6oz king prawns (shrimp?) either with mayo and salad, or with stir-fried veggies.
The first keeps me full for hours and the nut/sugar mix tastes decadent.
The prawns are such a luxury food from childhood that again they taste a real, decadent treat, and have very few calories.
I always log 1 pt of semi-skimmed milk into my budget. I don't very often have any milk at all in my coffees throughout the day but try to have a 'treat' cup of milky coffee in the evening. It only takes 1/2pt, so that gives me a 100 calorie buffer.
Once Christmas has gone (I'm so looking forward to Christmas this year!), oh yes, and the Israel trip in January, I'm going to do a month of the Carb Lovers Diet, using their actual recipes, not just their rough principles.
