Down 22 pounds

[Lacy]

hmmmmmm good streak good streak and damn if I ver get so depressed again I am gonna tape my mouth shut.It is nice to be on the downward side of the scale

You lost it...I found it! I really don't want it though.

WTG, Lacy. It's hard work but dedication and determination is paying off!

What do you think the main key has been in your recent success?

[Lacy]

well i faffed around with dieting and I prefer lo carb my body adapts nicely to it.But I had to add in more intense cardio dieting alone absolutly will not do it for me.

You would think with the amount of muscle I have I would be able to just diet and lift but that doesnt do it.My strength is actually on it's way up to.
I am roughly around 20-30 carbs daily but my cals dont go over 1800 and average around 1300 .

You sound a lot like me but the older I get the tougher it is. How old are you now?

[Lacy]

32 I truly think I have a dead metabolism.But slowly but surely will work for me.I have a sat cheat day also.this weekend was the first weekend i did a cheat day and I lost 4 pounds this week that was a major first for me.

[Puddles]

4 lbs in a week is a great thing!

Good luck to you and your progressing weight loss!

Slow metabolism...I know it well and it drives me nuts at times. Even my pulse is difficult to raise into a good cardio range...hubby and I will be on the treadmills together, I could be going at the same speed as him yet my pulse still isn't in range and he's perfect. I have some medical issues too, PCOS with insulin resistance seems to be one of the main culprits and I'm taking some meds to help but damn, one of them makes me so sick to my stomach I haven't been able to get up to the optimal dose yet. I've done some reading on it and it can take months to settle in so I'm just trying to be really patient.

That's great news!

I've dropped a lil over 20 myself..however have been at a stand still the past 3 months and I realized it's because I'm not eating as often again....eating 6x a day really does speed up your metabolism..and like you Lacy...I keep to a low carb diet....appears to work better for me...and I do well on it...no problems w/ energy or anything like that...........

july 04 to july 05 was a bad year for me.....and I put on a lot of weight again....so now working on getting it off.......sucks getting older, harder to lose weight...guys your age want women 20 years younger then you...even though they've got no idea how to give a proper blow job...oh sorry never mind!

I've been in a mood latly...guess I need to get laid
