Grain Free Scale Results After 14 Days!

LowCarbForLife's picture

The last day that I included grains in my diet was on 6/10/11. I have made CALP my way of eating the last three years by including the foods I love and staying within the guidelines of the program. This is the easiest program I have ever followed and I know, with time, the rest of my excess weight will disappear.

I am more active and I feel great since I began taking my health seriously. I am in control of my diet and my goal is getting closer everyday. Exercise has become an important part of my life and getting myself fit and healthy continues to be my goal.

Breakthrough!

Wow, Teri, looks like you broke into new territory while I've been on the road! Did I see a 141?? Bet you can't wait to see the 130s! Do you think it's the grain-free thing?

BTW, I like the way you're separating carbs, protein, and veggies for each day. Nutrition at a glance.

Hugs and congratulations,

Mago

Feeling good!

Thank you for your feedback, I really do appreciate it.

All that I know is that I have been watching my scale go up and down for months and I wanted to see if there was anything that I could do to stop it. I am over halfway into my experiment of going grain free, and I definitely like the results so far.

I have noticed that I have more energy, and the best part is, my night sweats and hot flashes are less. I forgot to take my Estroven for a couple of days and when I did remember to take them the following day, I decided to stop taking them.

I was able to see a new low of 141 lbs., and the next set of 10's, the 130's, are definitely within my reach now. After being obese for over twenty five years, I am extremely happy with the way that I look in clothes now.

I am becoming fit, healthy, & slim, and I never gave up trying!
