Let's Do Lunch Community

I started the plan 2 weeks ago.  I recently discovered that I have a wheat allergy and that is the reason that I have been constantly sick for over 2 years.  I thought this plan would be a perfect way for me to learn to eat without the wheat.  It is going great, I haven't gotten sick one time and on top of that, I have lost 12 lbs in two weeks!  I don't have a ton to lose, Im 5'11 and 168lbs now, but I am excited to get back down to 135 140.  Sorry about the weighing thing,  I have to, can't help it, but it encourages me! I get so excited to get up and weigh every morning because the number keeps going down!

I didn't have much to lose either when I started LDL about 2 years ago...WE know it is harder  when you don't have much to lose...but not on this plan...I will say that I didn't weigh for 4 weeks when I started so that really helped me because  losing a few ounces a week doesn't make me feel like doing a victory dance...HA!  but a 3-4 pound loss in 4 weeks(when you don't have much to lose) does!  I just weighed this morning and I am down 3 pounds and I am eating all the time...I eat when I am hungry no matter when I ate the last time...I eat lots of smoothies, soup, and popcorn...If we go out to eat (which is often because we pastor a large church) I eat protein, veggie, and salad...I am 5'7"and my weight as of today is 134...I am not trying to lose but I guess my body is not done yet...This is a very healthy way to eat as you have found it to be...If you have any questions let me know...Read Little Marys story for inspiration...Congrats on your accomplishment!!!

Amber,

That's terrific!  6 Lbs a week is outstanding   What a great start and even more important than the weight loss is the way that you feel.
I can really relate to the allergy thing. I have a lot to deal with including every grain except rice - right now. One of our other members just discovered she has a bunch of allergies too and as soon as she cut those foods out of her diet she lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks. So the allergen really wrecks havoc with our system.

I am so happy to welcome you to our family and so thrilled with the results you are experiencing. I hope to hear more - esp after your Doctor visit.

As for the nutritionist
