Shirley's Success Story

Slimmershirley · 07-02-2006, 06:02 PM

Introduction:

Today is the first entry in my weight loss journal. I have tried different ways to lose weight over the years, but will begin recording my weight loss journey tomorrow. I will be using my own ideas gleaned from reading a lot of different low carb and other weight loss books. Also I will be using the Body for Life strength training method.

This journal is mainly for myself--to keep me accountable. Others may view it. If you do, I hope you will be helped by what you read here as I travel on my low carb journey with its ups and downs, wrong turns and/or success. I also hope that if others read this, they will encourage me on my journey since this is a road many of us must travel in order to be successful in losing weight.

Although I've entitled my journey : "Shirley's Success Story," I have not attained success yet. That is my goal however. I have about 100 lbs. to lose as I begin.

Road map:: Protein Power, Body for Life and other books I have read

Equipment: My own home gym with treadmill, fixed weight machine & free weights.

Fuel: Cookbooks including Living Low Carb & Lovin It, The Low Carb Gourmet, etc.

I'm On My Way!!

Hey Shirley sounds good.
I would like to find those cookbooks,,,,it is hard to hit town, where the bookamillion is,,,, I may look on Amazon for those.
I collect cookbooks anyway, just love them.
I especially like the ones from peoples little home towns, and I like it when you find things out about the cooks who submitted their recipes.
