I started a lo carb diet 8 days ago and have already lost 6 pounds. The trick is to lose the weight...ad the carbs back in slowly...and find the number (or amount) of carbs per day that helps you maintain the weight you want to stay at. Along with that I will start walking on my treadmill everyday when I am done working at the coffee shop this week...right now I get plenty of walking at the shop but the kids will start helping when school stops so I'll have to start using the treadmill.
I swore I would never hit a double digit pants size again but I did over the last 2 years with a bad case of food poisoning where I lost a lot of weight and then had to just about eat everything in sight to gain anything back, my 3 surgeries...the stress of the loss of my Dad and a few months later my Mother being diagnosed with a high stage 3 breast cancer...and our son's motorcycle accident a year ago on Good Friday. I don't eat much but believe me...stress can ad the pounds.
I have a few more pounds to go and I'll be back in my 'favorite' jeans...and not in my 'comfortable' jeans.
