Finally started again. Hubby joined me.
Question:
I know I promised to start last week but too many excuses got in the way. I went grocery shopping yesterday and now the fridge is full. My hubby, Steve, is joining me this time. We are going to weigh and measure ourselves tonight. Steve comes home for lunch so I think he’ll do well. He and I are the same size and I am currently 285 lbs and a size 24-26. I would be a 25 if the was one. I had gone from 300 lbs to 280 doing Atkins for 3-4 months last year. (diabetic T2, Hypothyroid, PCOS) with no cheating 20 gms or less of carbs. I gained 4-5lbs back after 4 months off. Believe me I ate everything and anything so I am thrilled I didn’t gain more. We are Somersizing. So far hubby loves the food.We had Eggs in Onion Nests this morning and a Philly Cheese Steak Salad for lunch. Tonight is grilled Steak, asparagus and creamed celery root. For dessert chocolate mousse. Snack… maybe cheese and a salad. — BethM

Beth, I lowcarb with my fiance and it works out well. No cooking separate meals, etc. It’s more fun to exercise when there is someone to do it with, too. We have incentive….our wedding is Feb 1st and I want to lose the rest of this by then (45 pounds or so, already lost 100) and Mike wants to lose 40. I should buy the dress in a size 10 now!!! :-) Anyway, welcome…. Happy Lowcarbing, Julee http://hometown.aol.com/w84mrcl

Julee Wow! You lost 100 lbs. Congratulations on that and your upcoming wedding. Hubby and I weighed in last night. He was 304 lbs and I was 285.5 lbs. We are both 5′7" tall. We are like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb. Steve has not been wanting to go to the gym for about a month. Hopefully that will change. I really need to get exercizing. I am such a sloth. — BethM

Julee… What an inspiration you are! I checked your website and you look great. Your wedding pics will be something you can always be proud to pull out 20 years down the road. BTW… Your website address should include the "www". too. Again, congratulations on a smaller you – and the upcoming big day!.

Gwen and Beth, Thanks for the nice comments. Oops, forgot about that www thang, so thanks for that reminder, too. :-) It is exciting to think about walking down the aisle in the size I want to be. I am enjoying lowcarbing with my honey….before I was doing it alone. Then when I met him he kinda pooh poohed lowcarbing which REALLY gave me incentive to get going again!!! LOL After I lost 5 pounds in a week, he joined me. Now he’s a bigger fan of lowcarbering than I am. 
Happy Lowcarbing, Julee http://www.hometown.aol.com/w84mrcl
