To quote Elaine from Seinfeld....

:yikes :yikes SHUT UP!! :yikes :yikes

That is insane! And I mean insane in the most positive way. Holy crackers! What an awesome transformation and motivation for us all.

So give us the details - I take it she is an Atkins lady, I see it took her 8 months to lose it, what about any loose skin, etc., etc. I am sure there are many who will want to hear her story. I know that I would love to hear more details....Do share!

well my mom's bible is i believe the first book that dr.atkins came out with. she did the extended induction part. she did have lose skin while she was losing the weight, especially because she had 3 huggee babies... 8 lbs 7 oz was the smallest . but she did lots of weight training, drunk lots of water (at least the 64 oz recommended daily) and put on lots of lotion to keep her body hydrated. she kept her daily consumption of calories at an average amount, because she ate a lot, she still does actually, but tried to keep the carbs very low.

right now my mom is like the energizer bunny. she buys smalldollar amounts of hermetrocard so she is forcedto walk almost everywhere.. she pretty much just does a lot of walking and running.

i had to beg her to let me put her pictures up, she was embarrasedbcuz she was so big before. lots of people that she met after, dont even believe that she was that big.

i will try to put up other pictures of her, as i find them.


on my side, tomorrow is my 7th day on the diet with 18 pounds lost so far. i started at 305, and my mini goal is 240, then i will take it slower toget down to 180.

by the way,my name is Claribel im 19, and my mom is Maribel 47

[ztachick]

wow
she did so great
you and her both must be so proud
and im sure that you will follow in her footsteps youve done a great job so far- come join us in the century club... setting mini goals are a great idea- as you can celebrate(not with food) when you reach each one and as you reach each one your final goal becomes much closer and attainable.
