There it is ... me on my wedding day last October and me just last week - 65 pounds lighter and feeling fabulous
Phase 3 went really well. I was preparing myself to gain weight because that's what is typical - just a few pounds but still. Instead I lost. Not sure how because I felt like I was eating so much, but it wasn't just like before. It wasn't carb heavy - in fact I rarely hit my carb limit!
I'm using MyFitnessPal android app to track everything. I'm really going to have to watch the fats and proteins but carbs don't seem to be a worry as of yet :)
I'm looking into paleo and grain free, gluten free cooking. Some sweet treats that are grain free are also much lower in carb (due in large part to the type of flour used) I like that I can have chocolate chip cookies or brownies every once in a awhile and not fear a weight gain.
The website I'm using most heavily is www.againstallgrain.com I am fortunate in that I don't have food sensitivities or medical conditions that force a particular type of diet. I also recognize that not all grain free/ gluten free is going to be "healthy" or low carb. But these are more whole food type recipes and use little to no overly processed or refined products so that's healthier and a move in the right direction in my book.
I started making my own cheese and yogurt - that way I know just whats in it I make my own granola bars and they are protein packed and delicious. As soon as I get the ingredients I am going to try a go at bread low carb and grain free. Higher in good fat but its worth a try for something different.
And now I start the trek over the other side of the weight loss hill in the fields of maintenance. Here's hoping for a long and joyous stay there :)
Catch you later, I think I see some daisies to skip through.
