Lei Lei Lost 11 Pounds Her First 7 Days
.H-E-L-L-O all!!! I am Lei Lei!
.
I did Atkins in 2003 and lost 39 lbs, but when my husband and I bought a house and packed up the kitchen, I started eating out and month after month. I told my self I would go back to eating low carb 100% of the time. Needless to say IT NEVER HAPPENED!!! I have tried several other programs these last couple of years and they worked for a hot minute — and I mean a hot minute — then nothing.
.
In November of 2005 I tried the South Beach diet so I could fit into my wedding dress. I lost about 10 pounds over a 3 month period. On my wedding day January 28th 2006 I weighed 147. By the time March came I was up in the 150s — then by June the 160s!
.
I kept telling myself I was going to start a diet and exercise program. I tried running on my treadmill and doing Pilates videos — nothing happened, maybe a 3-4 pound loss. Then we went to Disney World in July 2006 and I ate 2 funnel cakes in one day at a park. Then it hit me, “This is why I am getting big! I have lost control.”
.
At that point I should have done what worked for me LOW CARB, but no, I had to waste more time and try some other diet. So during all of August 2006 I decided to do the Fitness Model diet. You eat every 2-3 hours of fruits, complex carbs and whole grains. I did not gain or lose.
.
I realized I need to stick with what works for my body! So I went Googling and found Kimkins. At that time it was $29.99, but I didn’t have all the money and it ended up costing me $59.00 but it was the best 59 dollars I have spent in years.
.
I originally started in Sept 2006 @ 163 lbs and lost about 11 pounds that first 7 days. Then my Aunt died and I lost focus. Then I did the diet during the week and cheated on the weekends. I was playing with my goal and it began to piss me off!
.
So what would be normally the worst time to start a new way of eating I chose December 11, 2006 to buckle down and do what I had to do. I went from 158.5 lbs to 127.5 lbs in just about 3 months! I would have just a few pounds left till goal.
.
My husband is loving my new look (and my son who is 14) says his friends think I am hot! What a boost of confidence!!! I just want to thank God for leading me to this website and putting the desire to buckle down and do this new way of eating.
.
Bless you Kimmer and all my new friends on Kimkins.com!
