I'm so happy to Announce!!!!!

Ryan and I have been on this extreme diet. It's been tough but we have been successful Ryan's lost 40 lbs and me only 30.  I know I'll never be that skinny stick I used to be. But man I was getting out of control. No fun. No I'm not posting before and after pictures (ok maybe one of  Ryan when I can get a good one.) He looks AMAZING.  But I still feel super chunky and I HATE pictures of me.
I'm amazed at my discipline as I haven't had any sugar, carbs or Diet coke for more then a month. Some people don't get the diet coke thing (ferd) but I was addicted and had to drink more then 2 or 3 or more a day.  Now I don't even want one and it's so nice to not be tied down to something. I've developed a love for my flavored stevia drinks in sparkling mineral water and it actually quenches my thirst and doesn't make me shaky. It's been nice to have Ryan do this with me as we have been strong for each other.  Not to mention I couldn't of done it without him.

I've also found some amazing recipes for no sugar or carb foods that taste Amazing.  I made a pecan crusted chicken in a Dijon mustard sauce it was so good. And we had cheesecake pots for dessert. I could eat a cheesecake pot every day for every meal they are that good and the best part is it has ZERO sugar. And actually tastes good. I hope to keep this up. Ryan looks amazing and I'm so proud of him. And I can't wait to get rid of my 3 baby tummy that never seems to go down no matter what I do. But I can't deny the energy I have and feel so much better.
And with this diet being SUPER hard and doing it over summer which was CRAZY!!!  I hope I can maintain it and never ever ever have to do it again.

That is awesome Suzette! I thought you looked great when I saw you in July. I would love to get some of your recipes. Expecially the cheesecake pot one.

Way to all me out. :) Anyway, congrats to both of you in losing lots of weight. That's awesome. Everybody looked good when we last saw you in July. You'll have to share your cheesecake pot recipe with Di and me.

Congrats to both you and Ryan! And I completely know what you mean about the baby belly... especially if you have had C-sections! UGH! So curious to know how you get away with no sugar? Do you really just use substitutes? I did Nutrisystem last year trying to knock off 20-30 lbs and almost did it, then got side track with a bit of life stress and gained it all back and more. Very frustrating. Would love to know ya'lls secret... besides will power! : ) Thanks for sharing and congrats again!

Dang you guys. How'd you manage that with all that BBQ goodness at your house? I want the recipes and I think a glamour picture of the two of you is a must.

Ditto to what Caroline said. I'm reading this post with a wad of cookie dough in my mouth that I just ate. You are a stronger woman than me!

Only 30 lbs? If you lost that much you must have disappeared!
