Default Working on Weight Loss
Hi. I don't usually post on the weight loss forum here, but, ... I can use all the help I can find. lol

I started my weight loss journiney in July. Well, that was the 3rd of 4th time that I started it. But, I think I'm more serious this time. Have stuck with it longer, so far.

I lost 7 lbs in 5 weeks, then had to go on steroids for MS, and gained 7 lbs in 3 weeks. So, I kind of count September as my starting date, since I sort of had to start over.

Since September, I've lost 18 lbs in about 13 weeks. I've used a combination of techniques:
  • some SOUTH BEACH diet concetps (low-carb for awhile, now "good carbs" and "good fats")
  • IsoLean shakes (supposed to have two a day + one 400-600 calorie meal, but, I usually eat fewer shakes and more "real" food)
  • "calorie cycling" -- I tried JUDDD (Down days, 500 calories, alternating with Up days), but, I didn't like the 500 calorie days. So, I'm still doing Down days and Up days, but, not so low.
My goal is to lose a total of 50 lbs by May 22 (my daughter's wedding), and a few more by July 9 (30 year reunion).
