Before & Current! I'm Back on the Low Carb Train!

[runawayllama]

This is me in 2004 at my heaviest - 195 lbs.



This is in 2007 - 165 lbs



And finally in 2008 - 130 lbs. - My current weight +3 lbs!



I've decided to jump back on the low carb train as lately my weight had fluctuated quite a bit. I'm looking to lose about 10 lbs. So far I'm on day 3 of induction....I've gained 3 lbs which I hope I will start shedding after the first two weeks ::fingers crossed::

Blimey! You are [almost literally] half the person you used to be!
Well done - you should be very proud of your achievements so far (how tall are you BTW?) 120?? So jealous - I can only dream of 120!

Thank you guys so much. I'm really feeling confident this time. I'm 5'6 to answer Slidesdownmountains question. I'm on day 5 of induction and currently down 3.5 lbs. to set me at 130.2. Tomorrow I'm hoping to see a 29 show up!

WOW - you are a Slim Jim - I would have thought you'd have to be like 5'3 to weight that diddy amount!!

Do you do lots of exercise? And how long have you been on plan altogether, do you think? Were you eating carbs again in the interim?

(Guess who's been at the smileys today.... )

Re: Before & Current! I'm Back on the Low Carb Train!

I'm really not that small in person. At least I don't think so. I have areas that need work. I don't exercise at all. I'll attempt some sort of exercise program every few months, but I never stick to it for more than 2 or 3 weeks. I try, but I would rather get my exercise through swimming or walking or something.

All together, off and on, I've been on the plan 6 years. I've switched between low carb, low cal, lowcarb/low cal over that period. Now i'm strictly low carb. I did eat carbs every once in a while, but tried to keep them to a minimum. Very rarely would I splurge when we would go out to eat.
