Corinna and Little: good morning from Costa Rica!! We’re leaving Tortuguero today and head to Dominical. To be in the warmth is heavenly and the nature is stunning. We took a little boat through the jungle and saw monkeys and lizards.

Meals: the meals are included on the first 4 day tour to Tortuguero. They were plentiful and I didn’t stay “low carb” but I don’t think I over ate.

Exercise: a lot of walking to see things, the Caribbean beach and the butterfly sanctuary and swimming in the pool.

Positive: excellent weather, relaxation. People from all over Europe come here. Lovely to hear all the languages.

Negative: nothing. Bueno.

No Saturday Feb 16 weigh in.

Follena: How exciting your trip sounds. The warmth, nature, boat rides, traveling through the jungle, butterfly sanctuary. Oh and Monkeys and Lizards. Sounds like my type of vacation. Enjoy your food! Your staying smart with moderation. Have fun!

Just started my weight lost journey saw this forum group and I’m loving the motivation congrats to all who are seeing positive results any tips on getting started?

23 pound weight loss!!!!! Praise god just reading all of these motivational post made me wake up and smell the coffee I have been on my journey for only 6 weeks and it becoming a lifestyle change. I’m in such a better mood and my self esteem is through the roof. A close friend of mine named Shelly introduced me to a program and I am so appreciative to her. Hope everyone reaches their goal and continues to stay positive.

Breakfast: Waffles and veggie links
Lunch: Bean Enchilada
Supper: Granola
Exercise: 30 minutes elliptical, stretching

Positive: Still keeping my weight down.
Negative: but need to get some more pounds off this body.

Shedmyfat- congratulations!!! What a great start you have, and a great friend too. The best way to get started is to have others around you support you in your efforts. Plus you need to be committed to your efforts and keep track of your lifestyle too. That way you will notice what works, and what areas you need to improve on. Keep that motivation going. It will help you get through those periods that seem to slow down. Just remember that is part of the transition and hang in there, that new body is forming and you will see the results of all your hard work.

Corinna: hoping you can lose that last bit of weight which is often the hardest. One day at a time. You make good food choices. I might be in for a surprise when I finally weigh on March 9th.

Meals: it’s easy to stay low carb while we are in our condo in Dominical. I’m pleasantly surprised to see food in restaurants supports low carb. Ceviche in lime wow! Lots of seafood and delicious salads. I don’t think I’m overeating but booze is likely knocking me out of ketosis. Pina coladas, flavoured vodka and water ... and Heineken beer. I’m keeping it to 2-3 drinks per day and drinking loads of water.

Exercise: a lot of walking to see things, the Caribbean beach and our condo complex requires a long walk up. Swimming and boogy board in ocean and pool.

Positive: excellent weather, relaxation. Horse back ride in the jungle tomorrow to see a waterfall.

Negative: nothing. Bueno.

No Saturday Feb 16 & 23 or March 2 weigh in.
