fourstubbs · 03-17-2009, 11:37 AM

I had been on a stall for a long while now....the scale was jumping up lots, first 195, then 197...200... BLAH!! Then down to 195 again, up to 197. You get the picture... Well, on advice from others here, I started to write down everything I ate on ******, stopped eating 100% cocoa with splenda so much, INCREASED MY FAT LOTS!!!!!! Well, after what, a week or so, THE SCALE FINALLY MOVED!!!! I wanted to give up, but I didn't. I now weigh 191.4!!!!!!

I know this was because I upped my fats, it is amazing. I am the type of person who is never able to lose weight, I have thyroid issues and diabetes, so was never able to lose more than 5 pounds. I have lost a total of: 11.4 pounds!!!!!!

I am in this for the long haul.......

Please don't give up. Give your body time to adjust....

thanks for all of the advice and support I have gotten here, it makes a big difference!!!

Mary: That is incredible...

Fats are our friend..

and they fill you up and don't raise your blood sugar and help you lose weight..You are the perfect example of this..

Meee: I'm not sure what she did, but Barry recommends a 5-15percent carbs/20-25 percent protein/60-65 percent fat. This is a ballpark thing, of course. Getting your protein under control is important, too..Most women can eat between 70-80ish grams of protein, depending on your muscles and stature..

Carolyn: I am so amazed that this has happened. I thought I was going to fail again!!! Thanks for your encouragement!!!
Mee: I pm'd you....I also posted this in the lobby under the same name. I upped my fats to an average of 75 percent or so? It seems to be working on my body. I am 44 yo almost, diabetes and I have no thyroid, usually don't lose too much at all, so I hope this continues!!!

thanks everyone
