Posted on November 14, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

How I lost 10 Lbs.: Jan 2, 2011 to Feb 5, 2011

Posted on February 5, 2011 by lowcarbconfidential

On Jan 3, I wrote this post, starting a new stab at peeling off the pounds. To spare the internet more pointless blogging, I stated that I’d write about it again only when I lost 10 lbs. It’s really only interesting then – most of us play around is a 5-pound range and it’s water [...]
