3 months on OWL/4 months total

[Elsie150]

Well...I just finished my third month of OWL. I have lost a total of 40 pounds even. I am on rung 9. While I don't eat from all the rungs all the time. I do partake regularly of winter squash, milk and mandarin oranges. I have tried other stuff..lived on LC Chili for almost a week...but eat the above the most. Water plays an important roll on this WOE...I try to get in 12 cups a day minimum. Here is the break down of my months.

2 weeks induction=12
2 weeks extended induction=3
1 month OWL=9
2 months OWL=8
3 months OWL=8
Total= 40 pounds.

Congrats, Elsie! I just hit the big 40 lb milestone too. I'm really bad about drinking enough water though, I wonder if it helps in to lose weight.

Are you including exercise?

Thanks Energizeme. No I haven't really. I am moving way more though. Cleaning the house more and having fun with the kids...racing them...taking the stairs...that sort of thing.
