What plan are you following?
It's still early days for me but so far this is different from any WOE I tried - except when I lost weight back in my '30s. The difference is the way I feel - not like an elastic band stretched to breaking point but calmer and above all more happy with myself.
At my friends' place everything was great for low carb except the first course - spaghetti al dente with home made pesto. I ate a small(ish) portion and it didn't trigger any cravings. I skipped desert which was melon and berries - I should probably have had it but I said no desert in order not to risk getting served ice cream or something. I didn't weigh myself till two days later and there was no damage even though I drank a couple (or three) glasses of wine. I'm down a pound now.
At the weekend I made a low-carb cake with black chocolate. No one liked it because it's pretty bitter (I tried making a courgette cake with Stevia to sweeten but it wasn't nice so this time no sweetener, just a spoon of maple syrup), but I enjoyed a slice with berries and cream. You sure can't eat much of it though. It's still sitting on the kitchen table.
My first goal is 78 kg - the weight I was when I switched jobs about 8 years ago. I am just one kg off now. My next goal is 74, which I was when I got married, and my overall goal is 65kg, which I haven't been since I was 12 years old.
Also at the weekend I got out my "thin wardrobe". I came close to throwing it all out a while ago but then put it into plastic binbags. Now it is all out and some things have been laundered. I am hoping to be able to wear some of it by early 2013 at the latest.
I have been menopaused for 4 - 5 years, am not taking anything and generally feel OK. Before starting to low carb, I was feeling old and fat and past it but my self-perception has really changed even though I've only lost 4 kg so far.
