Low carb lifestyle day #4

Looks like I've lost a couple pounds so far, but I also don't have a good working scale.  That'll  be an upcoming purchase for sure. I do notice I don't feel like I'm starving.  I'm also sleeping a whole lot better.  I have noticed an increase in my energy.  It hasn't been hard to avoid carbs.  Staying below 50 grams still. So far, counting carbs is a whole lot easier than counting calories. 

If I feel like snacking, I can munch on mixed nuts which fulfills my eating desire.  Still feeling confident in my decision.  I want to thank my cousins wife, Elizabeth, for mentioning it.  I also want to thank my sister, Tricia, for letting me fill her inbox with lchf messages since she's been doing this for quite some time now. 

Week #1 Weight-loss = 2lbs

Low carb lifestyle day #3

Today is day #3 of my low carb lifestyle.  I have yet to feel real urges for sugar, breads and pastas.  So far, I haven't seen any negative or positive effects. I've keeping my carb intake below 50 grams a day so far.  I know some days I'll probably exceed that. According to research, intake of 50 and below grams of carbs will maximize my weight loss and health. 

So far it's been easy though I've yet had to make dinner for the family and myself.  The family is not on a low carb diet, so I will have to figure some things out.

Week #1 Weight-loss = 0

Lesley's plan for weightloss

As soon as I stopped nursing, the weight stopped dropping...and since I didn't alter my intake (you can eat slightly more when nursing and still lose weight) it actually starting coming back on. I don't weigh myself (scale is broken/off anyway) unless I go to a doctor and they do it. I just go off of how my clothes fit and I can't afford a whole new wardrobe to fit my new size. :)

Soooooo......I'm doing the slim-fast thing (technically the Kirkland brand weight loss shake thing...but who's really gonna know?) during the week and I get freebies on the weekends. Yep...it's proven to be successful for me in the past. I don't mind the taste of the drinks at all. In fact, I have to limit how much my son drinks or else I will go broke buying them. He loves them. I actually don't mind him drinking them because he doesn't eat much anyway and they are a meal replacement so I know he's getting nutrients that way.

 

I wonder if these drinks turn me into her?? 

I highly doubt this bikini clad model drinks these to get to where she is now..And I'm not realistically going for that look anyway. I like food way too much.
