YaHooo 20lbs in 5 weeks!

It's real, It's happening lol I'm so excited!!! Weighed this morning and it was 5lbs for this week, making it a total of 20. Started on April 18th at 212lbs :/ ugh can't believe I've let myself get to that point but am here today May 23rd at 192lbs :) I've been letting myself go with many empty diet efforts for the past 9 years letting the emotional eating fulfill my immediate needs (from 116lbs) but I am truly wanting this more than my temporary food fixes. A new addiction is allowing myself to feel hungry, usually at night before bed, and in the am when I wake. I know I am forcing my body to adjust not having those late-night TV binges! I am high on knowing I've accomplished the goal the day before waking up feeling better and lighter. My body is actually responding to my minimal carb & low-calorie efforts with occasional (once a wk or once in 2 wks) 1-hour intermediate walk/jog. Beating the battle :D

    Outstanding!  I agree - this has been a transformational experience.  Lost over 60 pounds, but more importantly, my A1C and cholesterol are well within the normal range. 

    Keep up the good work and be ready to be amazed again and again!

    Hello and congrats! I am new and a little thrown off by how many calories the program says I can have each day. On a diet, my calorie intake is usually 1500-1600 at most. This program has me ok with 2300 plus. I notice you mentioned low carb and minimal calorie intake, may I ask if what kind of program you are doing? Thank you!
