Low carb and walking a half an hour each day

[helenk]

I have been lurking on this board for awhile and reading everyone's posts really inspired me.

I starting cutting down my portions the end of May, and the end of June I started walking at least a half an hour each evening and about the same time started low carb. No special diet, just cutting down on the breads, pasta and potatoes. In August I added a 15 minute afternoon walk, in addition to the half of an hour walk at night. My goal was to lose at least 20 pounds by the time my trip came up.
I am going to WDW on Saturday 27 pounds lighter and I feel great because of all the walking I have been doing.

I will continue with the low carb while in WDW, since I will be by myself this should be easy enough to do. When I come back I want to start the South Beach diet, I need to lose about 50 more pounds so I think a more "formal" diet would be good.

This board has been a real help to me.

WOW! You have made such terrific progress ALREADY just by being a WISH lurker..... Just think how great you would do if you would come out of lurking 'officially' and become a WISH member. I'll look forwarded to watching you earn clippie's as you continue to lose the weight. If you decide to officially become a WISHer, be sure to note how much weight you've lost already under your WISH clipart [we all start with the WISH member clippie and earn loss clippies for weight lost during the time we are on the challenge] --- I would surely hate for you not to claim what you've worked so hard at already.

That is great. Sounds like you have a very workable plan. I'm so inspired, I'm going for a long walk right now. (Was supposed to go at lunch with DH, but I locked my keys in the car and ain't going nowhere that requires anything more than shoe leather.) Congratulations on your success!

Keep the Faith!

I'm so glad you decided to "de-lurk", helenk. That is quite an accomplishment since May. I'm sure low-carb combined with all the walking you will do at WDW will keep you in shape on your vacation. Please consider taking the "WISH Challenge"- we'd love to follow your progress.

Hi helenk! You've made great progress already! Hope that you decide to join WISH - everyone here is so supportive and helpful I am sure you would love it. I know there are many WISHers who are doing the South Beach Diet and are having great success! Hope you have a great trip to WDW.
