I've been here off and on for the past year or so - lots of lurking because I was just so frustrated at my lack of progress. Low calorie, low fat, constant exercise just wasn't working for me so I felt like a big old failure.

Finally, I found something that seems to work for me. I've been low carbing since the end of May and I've lost over 40 pounds!!! I know that might not seem like much but I've NEVER lost over 40 pounds in my life!!!

I can't tell much of a difference visually but my clothes are definitely fitting better and I'm fitting into jeans that I haven't been able to wear for years.

Not seem like much? I can't imagine anyone thinking losing 40 lbs. isn't much! Heck it's awesome! A great big congrats to you! Finding what works for you is absolutely awesome! You have much to be proud of! Woohoooo!!!!

40 lbs is awesome! Congrats

WAHOOOOO!!! Congrats!!! SO glad you found something that works for you! 40lbs is amazing! Keep it up!

40 lbs is great!!! I just hit 40 lbs lost too, and I know how much work it takes! Kudos to you, keep it up =)

Way to go!!!

That's terrific! I also find it much easier to lose weight when I eat low carb. Congratulations!

That is no small bit of success.
IT'S HUGE!!
Way to go.
You've got this.

That is AWESOME! You're doing so great, keep it up! And I'm so happy for you, that you found something that works!

that's amazing! I do find that cutting carbs speeds weight loss up for me, but I can never cut them out of more than one meal a day.

How much more are you looking to lose?

Wow! Thanks for all the support!!! It's been a busy week so I haven't been able to check it but what a boost to come and find all this support waiting for me.

Sally15: Ultimately I'm looking to get down to about 150 or so but we'll see how it goes. In the meantime I'm setting smaller goals so I don't get overwhelmed.

40 lbs is HUGE!!! Great work!! You have every right to be thrilled - keep it up!!

40 lbs is a major loss! Congrats!

Great Job that is Awesome!!! I am so happy for you keep it up.
