I've Returned!!!!

[Fabian]

Hi

Been doing the protein power now since 23rd Nov 2007 and I haven't been on this forum for AGES!!

Just to let you know, I have gone down to a UK size 10!! From a UK 16!! (a bit of a fat 10 but hey I'm in those jeans! Can't breath or eat in them but I AM IN!!) another couple of weeks and they will fit like a glove!

I hit a real platuea a little while ago, so i actually went back on the carbs for a blissful week of indulgence and then went back to boot camp, and the weight has dropped off again, so the holidays work too! I actually enjoyed eating the carbs again, but I felt like shite! Tired, grumpy, and constantly starving. coming off them again was like getting rid of an addiction, and it surprised me how the sugars affected my system, it was quite severe!

Won't be doing that again for a while :)

Hope you are all well and sticking to the plan, its good to be back on here!

It's good to hear from you again :). Congratulations on getting back into a size 10 :D. And on learning that you feel better when you eat well.

Fabian, I wondered where you had gone! So glad to hear you're doing well. It's a good thing when you get a strong reaction when "testing the systen" because it just reinforces your conviction that it is the right way to eat. IMHO, of course!

Welcome back!! Glad just because you weren't here visiting, you were still (mostly) on plan and discovering what works for you!!!

Yes, welcome back. Glad you are with us again.

Carol, I agree 100% --it's a good reminder that when we get into the carbage it doesn't feel good at all, and I too am glad of that as it helps keep me straight.
