So Here I Am

February 27th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Updates.

Hmm… here I am again, on the path to losing weight.

I’m using a low carb method, as I did last time. Once upon a time I lost about 20 pounds doing a semi-low carb plan, eating six small meals a day and eating all of my healthy carbs in the morning. I lost weight very rapidly that way, and am sort of doing the same thing again.

So here are my scary stats:

Start weight, Feb 25th: 160
Height: 5′5

It’s very frightening for me to know I weigh so much. Once upon a time, my “high weight” was 140! Now 140 would be very welcome. But anyway.

My low carb plan was shot to hell today because I spent the day sick. Tomorrow I shall start again. It’s kind of a bummer because I was on the low carb thing for the past 6 days and doing quite well. But gatorade and crackers pretty much blew it for me, although I probably didn’t go over 90 carbs altogether. (Better than the average person’s 300-400 carbs a day!)

I was definitely in Ketosis for the past couple of days.

    Hi

    I have had trouble losing weight for a longtime myself until I found out that I have candida. You should look into this maybe, check out this webgroup…

    it’s in yahoo.com groups area just look for the candida support group run by bee. There is a great diet on there that has helped me lose weight and feel healthy very similar to a no carb diet but different
    good luck!

    How much weight did you say you wanted to lose? Was that 40 pounds?

    Last year, I was able to get down to 116. I can’t believe how disciplined I was! I would do almost anything to be able to weigh that much again. But, in any case, I’m trying to diet too. I’ll be fine for a while, and then I just start eating whatever I want, and it doesn’t work anymore. But this time will be different. I know it will. This time I will make sure I don’t eat too much, and eat smaller portions, and exercise every day.
