Anyone want to join me? Low carbing anyone?

[Breny]

Hi all, I just needed to lose alittle, but I'm pleased so far Today is day 12 and 6 pounds lighter I'm trying to get off the "quitting smoking" pounds. My husband is 8 pounds. They always lose quicker! I'm 5'9 and thin, but my flat belly developed a little bulge and my arms seem bigger. I really need to start exercising too to tighten. I'd be happy to lose 9 more pounds I think.

My problem is finding different food to eat thats FAST

I'm already planning a cheat!!!!! Next weekend I told my husband we are going to our favorite Mexican resturaunt. We haven't been there in 2 weeks and we never miss a Friday!

Thanks for the info. Are these low carb foods? When mine gets low I develope an irregular heartbeart which I have been experiencing the last few days,so maybe it is low. I haven't been eating to well lately.

I didn't run off! I'm not eating bread but I did cheat last night. I've been sick. I ate some oatmeal, I think it was a good carb if I was going to cheat. I'm being good today. Promise!

Yes these are all low carb foods. I'm worried about you though. Be careful with your health!

I'm still here too. I'm just having a very bad day today so I'm kind of quiet.

I'm sorry you're having a bad day. Anything you want to talk about? I hope you're ok and that it gets better.

Hey I'm in too. I'm doing Weight Watcher's points and so far so good but I also watch my carbs too. Hubby is trying. He needs to lose about 50 lbs. We were just talking about the high blood pressure and diabetes. I told him if he loses weight he'd prob. not need meds. How about a certain day to weigh in and post how much we lost or gained?

Great to have you join us! Let's do sunday weigh ins.

My husband's doctor told him that diabetes often goes away with a loss of 10% of your body weight, which was at the time 22 pounds for him, and he was absolutey right. Diabetes took a hike at about the 20 pound mark. Good luck to you both and especially your hubby. The side effects of those meds are so nice to be rid of!

I'm glad everyone's been doing well on their diet. Have you all been working out???

I weighed in a little over two weeks ago at 145 lbs.

I am now at 135
