Finally had enough of being fat

[timetochange]

Hello, I have been lurking around the forum for a week now and decided to join. I am now on day 5 on induction. I am feeling really good now, I stuggled day two and three but feel calm now and the cravings have gone. I have tried many diets and tried eating healthy but nothing has worked for me so far. I am a male, I weigh about 215lbs and my height is 5ft 10. My scales are broke so I will only be going on my measurements which I took a day before I started. It feels good to not have food mean so much to me.

To keep myself motivated I keep visiting the before and after pictures for inspiration. I promise myself my before and after pictures will be there in three months. I don't know how much I need to lose but 40-50lbs is my goal.

Thanks for reading

Welcome Timetochange! Glad you decided to start posting here... now you're one of us!

It's cool that you're going by the tape measure, rather than the scales. That's really a far more reliable guage of weight loss.

Post lots and let us know how you're getting on! We're behind ya!

Welcome!! Oh, yes the tape measure is a much better indicator of weight loss. The scale likes to lie!! Plus you won't have that nasty scale addiction so many of us have. I measure weekly and love to watch the number go down. Happy low carbing!
