I have to give another praise for Leigh!

I began OPT about 4 weeks ago. I kept a log going here for two weeks, but then fell away from it, but did continue on with OPT. I also dug out this really nice digital scale my hubby got for me a couple years ago which I rarely used. It measure in grams and ounces. In the past, when I did use it I measured in ounces.

Since reading FLTS and following OPT, I have begun measuring everything in grams. Even the powder for my protein shakes. That scale has gotten more use in the last 4 weeks then it has in the last 2 years. It is a great scale. (will have to give my hubby a hug for that one)

I have dropped 10 pounds since beginning. I have to say it has been the easiest 10 pounds I have ever lost. I'm following the caloric and macro requirements in OPT and have rarely felt hungry.

Thanks so much, Leigh! Your FLTS has really opened my eyes to how I was measuring food to how I"m measuring it now. Don't have any use for the measuring cups anymore!

Nice work, Jodi! Very inspiring to hear.

Congrats! Glad to see another with similar results and feelings about the program.

Ditto here! I started 9/28 and have lost 4 lbs so far, despite the fact that I ate over maintenance one day and 300 cals over my 30% deficit the next. I have NEVER had such good results before and attribute it all to the program set up and following Leigh's advice to track and weigh everything.

Good for you, Jodi! I had the same results in the first month I was following FLTS. Don't you love how you know you're eating at a deficit but you don't feel crazy hungry because of the macros? I was shocked some days when I realized I had to force myself to eat another couple hundred calories because I was running low. lol!

Keep up the great work!

I love these kind of threads.

Congratulations Jodi, I am glad it is working out so far. Cute pup by the way.

Thanks, Leigh, that is Rudy our 5 year old yellow lab. We also have Charlotte, who is 2. They are my spoiled, rotten furry babies!
