20lbs lost so far... 20 to go!

[midwestgirl]

Hey! Just wanted to give an update to everyone ... I have lost a total of 20lbs in the last 7 weeks! I did induction for about 5 weeks (after 4 I realized I wasn't really losing anymore) so I slowly started adding in more veggies. I'm currently around 20-25 net carbs per day on RUNG 1. Some days it's hard for me to add in all the veggies... Just started a new job so today I only had time to eat breakfast and lunch. Minor obstacles I hope to fix once I get my new school routine and work schedule all straightened out!!! BUT I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow to stock up on my weekly food. I think I'll make a weekly menu plan so I can know exactly what to eat and when... this probably will be quite helpful! I figured once I hit 140 lbs I will start to add some different dairy, then nuts, then berries! CAN'T WAIT!

I do take measurements, but it seems to be different everytime considering I probably measure in a different place everytime... oh well. I feel good and the weight is dropping.

STAY MOTIVATED PEOPLE YOU TOO CAN FEEL THIS GOOD

Great to hear that you are halfway! Congrats!

I think your detailed menu is a good idea - planning ahead is the best remedy for a busy schedule I would move up the rungs asap...it may be hard to find your CCLL if you are really close to goal. Perhaps you should make a list of the items you want to add from each rung to give you an idea of how many weeks you need to climb the ladder? Best wishes for the 2nd half!

Congrats -- I agree that making a menu is a good thing to do. Also agree with Julie - you need to start up the rungs as soon as possible so you can find your CCL but also so you'll know foods that you'll be able to eat without trouble and those that you need to stay away from.

Keep up the great work.
