How are you losing the weight?

[CBRorBust]

Everytime I see anyone with a siggie of their weight loss I think it's GREAT!

Just curious, what are you guys doing? My parents were both on the Atkins, but were weak! My dad is a meat and potatoes kinda guy!

 

[MelanieC]

I do Weight Watchers and I really love it. It's such a way of life for me now!

 

[Samandmom]

I am doing WW and Curves. I love both of them. I love that I can eat anything (with reason of course) and still lose weight.

DH and I are both on South Beach. We love it! Together we have lost close to 80 pounds in 3-1/2 months. DH's suits are so big on him that we're going suit shopping later this afternoon. I've got clothes in my closet from size 14/16 up to 26/28 (I started out at a 26/28) so it will be a while before I need new clothes and when I do buy them they will be in "normal" sizes. Can't wait for that!

I work out using the FIRM video tapes 5 or 6 days a week and DH has not exercised at all (yet) but is losing at a faster pace than me. Anyway, we love the foods on this program and never feel deprived. We look forward to eating like this pretty much for life.

I voted Atkins in the poll, but I'm also exercising 5-6 days/wk.

 

[rsschneck]

I am another WW and Curves! Both are easy and I can stick to them!

DH is basically WW and occasionally walks. If I could get him to do more Honey do's he would be getting excersize!

Onwards and downwards!

I am a WW person. I have had success with it and it is something that I can live with. I just now need to get back OP and I'll be doing good.

 

[gshoemate]

I do Atkins and spend 2 hours at the gym 5-7 days a week.

 

[tiggerlover]

I follow WW, but I have gotten to the point where I don't write anything down anymore, my life just has gotten too busy. But I mentally calculate my points still and I still measure.

 

[Robinrs]

My son and I are doing Atkins and work out 5-6 days a week.

 

[cinmell]

I follow WW and exercise (FIRM/WATP).

 

[ibouncetoo]

I do Atkins and SUPPOSEDLY work out!

 

[Laurajean1014]

I'm on WW and I love my new way of life.

Wish and WW have allowed me to take off nearly 40 lbs. in a few months. I go for my physical check up soon and expect to hear good results.

WW and Wish has been great for me.

I had gastric bypass surgery in June 2003. My dr. said I was a slow loser during the liquids phase. He didn't expect me to reach what I have so far. Looking at the recommended diet they gave us - high protein, very low carb, I just jumped back on the Atkins bandwagon. I've always had luck with Atkins. People who suffer wtih certain hormonal imbalances like PCOS should be on a lowcarb diet.

I had lost 24 lbs. my first month. You're supposed to double that to get the 3 month loss, which would have been 48, but I did 56. Then you double the 3 month to see for a year, which for me would be 112. I'm at 9 months and passed that. I'm still slower than some WLS patients, but it's better than predicted. Again, I attribute my success to the low carb diet and to my new found love of exercise and walking. I am at Curves 3x a week, and I now use public transportation, which requires a long morning and afternoon walk.

I'd like to lose another 50 before considering reconstructive surgery - my hanging arms and tummy will need to be lifted, as will a couple of other areas.

But low-carb definitely seems to work best for me.

 

[Desiree]

I'm a watching diet and exercise!

 

[maryeabq]

I'm also watching what I eat and walking about an hour every day.
