1 month and 18 lbs later....
 

Well today is one month since I beggan my diet/lifestyle change.
I have lost 18 lbs and gained so much more!! when I first began I really thought if it as a diet, as I have in the past when I attempted to lose weight. For the first time in my life I find myself not even dreaming about chocolates and twizzlers etc. I used to eat so much junk food and binge like you woudln't beleive and now I eat so healthily and enjoy it!! I just can't believe it. Even DH is starting to be more concsious about his food choices!! anyways I really owe all my success to 3FC!! I come on a few tiems a day and it keeps me motivated and whenever I feel like cheating I look at some of the progress and goal pics and that keeps me on track!!

Anyways thanks to everyone here!!

wow

18 pounds in one month! Wow indeed! That's a LOT--more than 4 pounds a week. Are you following a healthy plan? If so, then congratulations! :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

Jay

Awesome job!!! Congratulations!!! :D

Do please tell us how you did such a fantastic job!! I want all your little dirty secrets. Great Job!!!

Yeah for you!! You are doing a great job. And, as always when someone is doing an awesome job, questions, questions, questions :D Do you find you are not craving the junk food anymore??

mommy: I basically started drinking 3 litres of water a day and eating pretty low carb low cal. I didn't begin exercising until after 2 weeks. If you want more info about what I eat I woudl be happy to share some of my meals with you. What type of plan are you doing?

beth: Thanks I chose it because someone once made that comment to me and it sort of always stuck in the back of my mind.

Joyce: I am doing a low cal low carb thing but don't think it is true low carb as
I do eat about 100 grams of carbs per day but mostly in the form of fruit and veggies. I eat bread only once a week.

Congratulations! That's an awesome loss!

I am doing a low carb low cal type thing but really my own sort of plan and I eat about 100 grams of carbs a day so i am not sure if this really counts as low carb.

jill can you tell me more about the fat smash?

Jay I am eating very healthily but you knwo in the beginning you lose alot - probably water. Last week I only lost 2 lbs and tomorrow is my official weigh in day so we will see but I don't think this week will be much more than 2 maybe 3.

Janis- I would be happy to share some tips with you. The thing that seems to be working for me is that I have a plan cheat day each week. I don't go crazy and pig out but I do eat bread on that day and dessert 2 x however I have small portions. This is something I intend to do forever as I do think a rich deseert once or 2x a week is plenty.

Shelby- I pretty much don't have cravings anymore except occasionally and they tend to be for healthy food. Which is unbeleivable because I used to eat 2 chocolate bars a day!!! I am too embarrassed to write down some of my eating habits but suffice it to say I was a real binge eater.

Another thing that really helped me was reading the book french womn don't get fat. It changed my relationship with food.

Thanks for the support everyone!
