    One Year Gone Along With 114 Lbs!!!

    Tomorrow marks my one year anniversary on this journey. When I started, I weighed in at 356 lbs. Today was my last weigh in day prior to my anniversary start and I weighed in at 242!!!

    In addition, I have lost 14 inches around my waist. When I started I was wearing size 56 pants. Today, I wear size 42's and no longer have to shop in the big and tall department. Now, I only have three more pant sizes to go before I am fitting into the same size pants as when I was in high school, just a couple of years ago!

                              Thanks All! All of your support really helped keep me motivated!

                              I got off to a huge start with 20 lbs lost during the first two weeks. I stayed on induction until April of this year and that was a big mistake. I should have gotten on OWL sooner and that is a recommendation that I would make to anyone. I faltered twice during this journey. Our daughter got married at the beginning of November and I had some days in there that set me back, then in December we went on a cruise and it went out the window until after the holidays. When I started back up in January, I had ballooned back up to 328 lbs. I know now that I swayed because I was not viewing this as a way of life, but merely as a way to lose weight. I did not learn how to eat during induction, I only learned how to limit carbs, and therefore with the limited variety I got bored and went back to my old habits. Again my recommendation is, even if you have a lot of weight to lose, DO NOT STAY ON INDUCTION TOO LONG, GET ON OWL and LEARN!!! It is the only way that you will truly succeed long term!!!

                              So here is how things broke down.
                              I lost 20 lbs during my first two weeks.
                              Then I lost another 24 lbs before the wedding in November.
                              Then put 16 lbs back on by the end of the year after I swayed (big time).
                              Total down at that point was 28 lbs.

                              Started again on January 1st and lost 19 lbs in the first two weeks.
                              Stayed on induction until March 31st and lost another 24 llbs.
                              Total 43 lbs since the 1st and 71 lbs overall.

                              Started on OWL on April 1st and have lost 43 lbs on OWL and 114 overall.

                              I have stayed three weeks at each level of OWL and am currently on rung 9 and eating 55 net carbs per day and am still averaging 2 lbs per week weight loss, while searching for my CCLL.

                              Also, I work out 6 days per week doing 40 minutes of aerobic exercise and 20 minutes on weights, alternating upper and lower body workouts.

                              Probably a lot more information than you were looking for, but maybe somebody else will find it helpful. Afterall, it wasn't until I found this board and read everybody elses experiences, that I started learning how to really do this.
