I have seen the scales climb~ UGGGHH. It is all my fault. I have let the end of the year stress ruin my success. Carb monster has me possessed. I have to get back on track. I have come too far to turn back now. For those of you in maintenance faze how long is it going to take me to get 11 lbs off. I am miserable. I looked in the mirror and I don't recognize my own butt. Feel totally awful. Summer has begun. I would love to get up early and exercise. I am feeling like I have lost myself again. I have let stress take over my life and I feel the lbs coming back with it. I am ready to destress and shed some weight. It is a everyday struggle and I have come too far to lose the battle now. Praying for strength to do what I need to to get back down. I am feeling very discouraged and covered in poison ivy not a great combination. What is the best most successful way to decarb and get back on track?

I'm sorry. :( Go cold turkey and it will take about 3 days of white knuckle determination to break the carb's hold. Use the 5 day pouch thing if you have to. If you do that, read the labels of the latest protein powder, most companies have changed their formulas removing whey protein isolate and using milk something or other, which adds carbs and reduces the bio avail of the protein. Stay hooked in here with us too.

It is so easy to fall off the wagon but we are here to help you hold on. They say surgery is on our tummies, not our heads and it is true.

Look at Miles and menus and get some ideas. Start with getting your protein in and clean out the house of all bad carbs. Track your intake and log on Miles and menus. Weigh on Sundays and report on the Sunday weigh in so you can see your progress. Excercise will not only help burn the calories but make you feel better. You can do this. You did it once and you still have your tool. Just have to put it back to work. At least it is 11 lbs, not 20.

I'm so sorry. We are all susceptible to this happening. Love yourself through this. Go back to basics. Protein, veggies, summer berries. If you stray, climb back on immediately. You are so far ahead of the game by catching this before it was able to grow.

Go look in the mirror and give yourself a pep talk! Visualize yourself without the 11 pounds.

I love summer berries. I love protein. The problem is I have to kick my peppermint habit and my chocolate fits. Lol. I know I can do this. I have to. I have come to far to turn back now. =)
