Hey Tam!! Here is some exciting news for all you Grand Strand folks...a local support group led by Chizzy Nwankwo. She has her MD from Duke and an RD and appears now to be living in Surfside. She has worked with Dr Westman, been at the Durham support group and on the LC cruise And has a fantastic nutrition/ medical background to lead a LC support group. I vaguely remember you asking about low carb support before...

Hi Y'all,

Thought I would update my progress in my journal and here. I am still a work in progress...but I am confident I will not only make my goal weight, but maintain it, for the rest of my life. I have finally realized that this is not just a diet...for now. It is not just a diet...until I get to goal. It is truly a Way of Life (WOL) for me, and I have no doubts, qualms, cravings, or hunger to sway me. I am at peace, and very happy eating LC for the rest of my life.

I have been on this journey 174 days, almost 25 weeks, a little over 5 months. I truly believe I will never leave this WOL again. I will make my goal, and I will maintain, for the rest of my life. I have made it through some scary health problems, some financial setbacks, the stress of trying to help my Aunt deal with family abusing her...physically, emotionally, and financially, a 10 day long vacation/cruise, and two holidays. I believe this time I have stuck the landing.

Below are my stats, starting on 7/11/15 until today:

Clothing Size:
07/11/15: Size 24 jeans, halfway up my legs, (was probably a 28/30)
12/31/15: Size 22 jeans, zipped and loose. (probably a size 20 now)

07/11/15: Size 3x/4x tops
12/31/15: Size 2x loose, (probably can fit into 1x now)

Not buying any clothes new, unless forced to, until I'm at my goal. That is the reason for the probablys

Fasting Blood Sugar:
07/11/15: 255 12/31/15: 96 Difference of: 159!

Inches measured chest, waist, stomach, hips, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg.

--------------Ch:----Wst:---St:----Hips:---LA:------RA:-----LL:------RL:
July 11th:---51"---54"----59"-----57"----18"------18"-----28.5"---28.5"
Dec. 31st:-- 40.5"-40.5"-46.5"---45"----12"------12"-----20.0"---20.0"

Total inches lost: 78.5!


7/11/15: weight 329.4 12/31/15: weight 261.2 Difference: 68.2 lbs!


Goals 2016:
1. Meet my weight goal of 150 lbs lost
2. Be off all diabetes meds
3. Exercise at least 4 times a week or more
4. Be into a size 12 or lower, and wear nothing with an X or Plus in it.

So come on 2016...I am ready for yah and all you may bring!

Happy New Year Y'all!!! May It Be Very Blessed!!!
