Great pics. You look fantastic! Can I ask, you said -40 carbs a day? I don't understand what that means.

I log, track, weigh, and measure all the food that I eat on my fitness pal. I eat less than 40 carbs a day. I actually keep them closer to 20 grams a day. Hope this helps.

You look fabulous girl!!!! Congrats!

Absolutely amazing! You look like a different person. I love your shoes, too!

Thank you! I have a ton of super cute shoes. That is one thing as a big girl that I liked to shop for. So the one down side (not) of losing big... My shoe size has gone down by at least a 1/2 size and maybe even a full size. Someone at goodwill will hit the motherload when I donate them! Im waiting to replace them until I get the last 20 lbs off.

Wow! You look like a different person. Awesome! Would you mind telling what your beginning and present weights are?

Ok...so it has to be our little secret... I started at 340 and have lost 172 lbs. I am 5'7 tall. There is a great website ...something like body image gallery (you will have to google it) that will show you what real life people at your hight and weight will look like at certain weights. This was pretty helpful to me. When I started this process I picked a size 12 as my goal. Well I got there and was suprised to find out that as an apple shaped person I was still pretty fat. The size 12 I had in my head was hour glass shapped and must have been Amazon height. I am now a 10 and still look fairly hefty. My 20ish lbs I want to go will put me into my normal bmi range with a little room for bounce back.

Oh ok that makes sense. Less than 40 not negative 40. Thought u were counting impact carbs or something I don't really understand. Thanks for the quick response.
