Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004My Diet Progress
Hi everyone, I remember posting here the first time complaining about my metabolism. (Thanks for listening and giving me advice!) I've been keeping at it and been losing a steady 1 lb/week of fat. Total loss for me is 17lbs and 7-9 more to go. Figures may not be big but to me they are. I'm a little person. Now I'm 124 lbs, 5'2". Here are the pics... http://www.c-k-d.com/forums/files/realityprog.jpg (left pic taken Oct 3, 2003 @ 141 lbs and right pic taken Feb 10, 2004 @ 124 lbs) http://www.c-k-d.com/forums/files/progress-orangetop.jpg (left pic taken Dec17, 2003 @ 131lbs and right pic taken Feb 13, 2004 @ 124 lbs) Gonna keep with a sorta cyclical keto diet until I lose 7 more pounds and then go on the UD2 and hopefully gain lots more muscles.

I started doing the Tamilee DVD, "I want that body" which incorporates "I want those arms", I wants those ABS" and "I want those buns". I LOVE IT! I can hardly get through phase 1 though. It takes time but Rome wasn't built in a day! :-) dot dot wrote: > Good job Check! I have slow metabolism too. Probably from all those > starvation diets.

I want to lose any additional weight (5 to 10 pounds, I think) VERY slowly. This Rome took a while to build, and it is only reasonable for it to take a while to disappear. <g> SignatureJean B. Hey there dot. 6 pounds in 5 weeks sounds about right! It was very frustrating in the beginning actually. I couldn't get down below 130 which was higher than my "normal non-dieting weight" from a couple of years ago. Getting older is not fun. Well I'm in my last little bits of pounds but I'm not anywhere near as worried. I'm excited to start "bulking" up! I'm becoming a masochist! Oh it's sweet pain ;-) How heavy are you now if you don't mind me asking? RC > Good job Check! I have slow metabolism too. Probably from all those > starvation diets.

In fact you can ask me anything you want if it will be of any help to you. I am 55, 5'4" and started LCing 1-9-04 at 130 lbs. I am very small boned and that was way too much weight for me. I weighed 117/118 up until I was 50 and then started putting the pounds on due to a life style change. I only lost 2 pounds at the beginning of induction and stayed there the entire first two weeks. Disappointing! I then realized that calories did indeed matter and I started watching both calories AND carbs and entering everything I ate into FitDay software and that helped a lot. I am now at 124 lbs. and want to lose 4 more. I don't really need to get back down to 117. 120 is fine for my age now. I do however want to get my muscle tone back though. It's been slow but as others have said, it the best way. I want to eat in a healthier way too. I was eating to many carbs I now realize. One of my favorite meals was a cold bowl of cereal with non-fat milk and a banana! WHOA! Sometimes I would have that for breakfast AND dinner! I went through a horrible first week of induction feeling every symptom reported and then some. But I feel GREAT now. Good luck to you. You look fabulous! dot Hey there dot. 6 pounds in 5 weeks sounds about right! It was very frustrating in the beginning actually.

Are you weight training while dieting? I must admit, weight training and LC aren't the greatest of combination especially when my whole body (muscle + liver) is fully depleted of carbs. > It's been slow but as > others have said, it the best way.

You look fabulous! > dot I still eat carbs on weekends, which explains why my weight-loss has been fairly slow. I just couldn't stop eating carbs altogether mainly due to psychological reasons. I think I've been successful so far because I haven't been too anal with my diet. Although I do keep a food journal which is considered obsessive compulsive behaviour by my friends. :-) RC > Are you weight training while dieting?

Because weight training and low carb dieting go great together for many people, myself included. The variables of set, reps, types of lifts, rest between sets, and days off between lifting can all be adjusted with the diet in mind. > > "JC Der Koenig" <jcderkoenig@ibm.com> wrote in message > news:<kWAYb.22659$Hp1.11271@newssvr24.news.prodigy.com>...

Ah yes, I used to weight train while on Atkins, it was okay because I got to enough... sorry I was talking about when doing a ckd where feeling nauseous with strong lactic build-up are suppposed to be a part of it, otherwise you're not fully depleting your body of glycogen. Carb refeeds happen on the fourth day. I'm not doing this diet right now... too tough! Still pscyhing myself up for it. > > > "JC Der Koenig" <jcderkoenig@ibm.com> wrote in message > > news:<kWAYb.22659$Hp1.11271@newssvr24.news.prodigy.com>...

I wish I had your boobs! Great > Job! > Laureen Thanks Laureen :) I laughed at the boobs comment! Looking at the before pic actually made me realise how out of shape I was! At the time I didn't think I was THAAAAT much bigger than my normal weight, up until I put before and after pics side by side and oh my! Most of the weight I gain always goes to my belly first. Just like my late mother. Since she suffered from diet related diseases, I have made a vow to myself not to make the same mistake by eating right and exercising most days of the week. Exercise is already a big part of my life and I'm not about to lose it. I'm so glad that I am able to take pictures of my progress now (love my dig cam). These pictures must be my biggest source of motivation. Another big one would be reading forums and finding out other people's experiences. Love these forums.

My cousin wants one too, and I think she's seriously contemplating of getting them if she ever gets $5000 to spare. See how you go with LCing first. If anything, it will instill good diet habits. I know that I automatically eat much, much less carbs now than I used to before I was introduced to the Atkins diet. E.g. I have cheat days, yet I still eat considerably less carbs on those days even when I allow myself to pig out on anything. My body just couldn't hack too much carbs anymore - and I'm glad!
