Hello, everyone! Well, my doctor said perhaps I should try adipex, but I dont know because I dont have a problem controlling what I eat, but she said it would speed my metabolism up...My weight loss is slowing, so I think maybe just try the Fat Fast for a bit instead of taking drugs...I dont know. Any feedback? Have a good one!

Alice, I have never tried the fat fast so I don't know what to say about that. Sorry to hear you weight loss is slowing, but remember the tortoise beats the rabbit!

I am down another pound. 221 is my current weight. Slowly but steadily coming off. Will be out of these 220's one day! LOL

a steady, consistent, planned approach will almost always serve you well. glad to hear of your progress, and you're just a minute away from hitting that 220 mark!

Thats great, Amber!!!! Congrats!

Yes, I am frustrated, but will deal with it.....Blah!!!! I am going hiking in Big Thcket for two weeks.....nothing but Hiking, Nuts, Mushrooms and Jerky!!! That should do the trick!

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! I am happy to report being down to 218.5!!! Yay, so happy to be out of the 220's! My size 18 pants are getting so much looser and my size 20s are almost too big! Just gonna keep plugging along! Next mini goal, 210! Happy Low Carbing everyone!

Alice good luck on the hiking. I definitely could not do it for two weeks. Hats off to you my friend!

I am still hanging in. Happy to report being down to 217! That is a total of 23lbs! Hope everyone is doing good.

Amber

Hi, Amber. Just joining your cheerleading squad for a moment. Congrats on your commitment so far. Really...it just gets better.

And if you have a question, ask Henry. He's been there and done that...and kept on doing it for years and years. Recipes? He's got 'em! Good advice? That, too.
He's a low-carb hero for sure!

Thanks everyone! Was MIA last week with the holiday and was feeling under the weather. Happy to report being down to 215! Just keep plugging along. My boyfriend and I are going on a cruise in October so I am looking forward to that. Much love to my low carb friends!

Last week was not the best week. Only worked out twice and I ate some things I should not have. Needless to say I am up 2lbs! Not going to sweat it. Just gonna revap and get back in there. I usually work out on my lunch break. Did not have time today because I had to go meet with my sons teacher. Sure as heck aint gonna do it when I go home. I did get to work out yesterday and plan on working out tomorrow and Friday. So that makes 3 days at least! Happy low carbing everyone!

Glad to hear you're not going to sweat the blips and just keep on going. That's the way to do it! If this were a DIET, you'd have messed up. But since this is just how you eat, you're right on track!

Go, Amber!
