I am starting day 27 today and have lost 15 lbs. so far.
I managed to lose 10 before I started so that makes a total of 25 lbs gone.
I have to say that I really love this WOL, it is so easy and I feel so much better already. My blood pressure is down to 122/60 from 155/93, my highest recorded would be 190/100. I managed to survive a vacation without a gain and I am not craving food constantly so I know the insulin resistance is better without doing blood work right now. I am finding that the food is really good because I love real food that I have cooked because I know what it is in it.
I am not bragging so much as hoping that newbies will read this and be encouraged to continue beyond that first week that is so tough sometimes. If I can do this you can do this. Of course, I will be counting on the experienced ones in this group to help me get through that inevitable plateau when it hits.
