I lost 9lbs 13oz today. The rest will have to come off a little more slowly and won't be nearly as adorable.
Congratulations! :)
I haven't posted to this thread before, but I've had my eye on it, and am rooting for everyone.
Height: 5'10"
Oct 2014: 248 lbs
Jan 2015: 235 lbs
Mar 2015: 221lbs
Goal: 171 (just over the line to a healthy BMI) and about what I weighed last time I felt really healthy and attractive.
I've been recently diagnosed with
PCOS, which tends to go along with insulin resistance, so I'm especially sensitive to carbs.
My eating plan is paleo (no grains, dairy, or legumes; lots of veggies, protein and some fruit). It's keeping my hunger and auto-pilot eating in check, and my calories are fairly low without having to track it. I've also cut booze to one drink or fewer per week, mostly out of solidarity with my husband, who has had to give it up due to a health issue.
I allow one "free" meal per week, which usually includes dessert. It helps deflect the mid-week cravings to know that I can have the thing that I want; I just have to wait until Friday.
I've been exercising more to help with my carb sensitivity -- walking 2x a week, running 1x , and sprint rowing 1x (30s fast, 90s slow, for 20 minutes).
