My good friend christine said I inspired her to finally go on a diet, so she went with the diet she knew would work for her "Atkins" all meat, cheese, eggs.....no carbs! She has lost 26 pounds and I am so proud of her dedication and even more proud that I inspired her!
To date I have lost 24 pounds ; Christine tells me" between the both of us we've lost a toddler! lol at this point its more like a 3rd grader.
My diet approach has been much different than christine's; cutting out sugar completely( I am now a splenda girl, never thought that would happen!) And cutting out bread the first month, and then allowing myself 1-2 pieces of bread a week which is usually a piece of naan when my mom and I go to have indian food. Lemme tell you, THAT is discipline! I havent ate a bagel in 6 months. wow. I still miss them......
I do eat carbs, there are good carbs and bad carbs , and it is all about portion control and how much you eat. I feel as if i did not eat pasta, or things like that i would fall off my diet wagon from denying myself. I workout 5 days a week, and the weight is coming off a lot slower than it was, but bu June of next year(when i started my diet) I am confident I will have reached my goal weight.
keep on moving and dont give up and maybe Christine and i will lose an adult.....
