    Can I join? My goal is to lose 50 lbs and I want to lose at least half that before the new year. Currently trying to eat no more than 25 carbs a day but going as far as 50g when I need it. No more than 100 on cheat days.

    Missed my workout today. Trying to figure out if I had "carb flu" or the real thing lol but not feeling great and very nauseous. Spent most of the day in bed, so besides my am meal I've had broth to get some sodium in me. Tomorrow is a new day. However I am incredibly proud I didn't give in and have some toast :smile:

    I hope you'll better very soon
    Yes tomorrow is a new day

    Day 4
    I was trying my friend's macros. I promised her I'll try even though I know fatty food or eating too much fat even the good fat might not go well with my sensitive tummy.
    So high fat high protein low carb but it ended up being moderate carb, did something wrong not sure where
    Anyway I loved the fact I wasn't hungry but I didn't feel well so I'm back to me own macros and being hungry lol

    As for workout. 30 min mountain bike, whole body and abs.

    How's everyone doing?

    I got my water in food good and my exercise in so all good on this front. I am .5 pound away from my 50 loss then I'll start counting my losses towards christmas goal.

    not sure how much longer I cam get into that cold pool for exercise!

    Sweet only 0.5 yay

    Through my readings. I've learned the best way to weigh in for an accurate weight without water weight is:
    Stop drinking water, teas etc at 7 pm on the night before your morning weigh in

    I'm in. I want to lose 20# by Christmas, but not sure that will happen. I've been LC for about 2 months with a few cheats thrown in, but usually eat mostly meat, so very LC most days. I lift weights and havent lost more than a few # since I started, though seeing losses in the mirror.

    Hi Kirstie and welcome.

    I've been on and off LC due to injuries but in the last 2 months I've been very committed on keeping my carbs at 50g. Had my ups and downs but I quickly get back on track and I've lost 14 lbs. trying to lose more.

    I lift weights and do spinning as my cardio.

    What type of cardio do you do?

    Macro Split for today is:

    Fat - 59% (96g)
    Protein - 28% (100g)
    Carbs - 13% (49g - 32g NET)

    Workout was 40 minutes of walking. Then at the gym, another 20minutes of brisk walking, on incline. And 15 minutes stationary bike riding (switching between level 1, 2 and 3 every minute).

    This was followed by some abdominal exercises, crunches, reverse crunches, plank, and pilates swimmers.

    My kidneys hurt. Lol (don't know why, ideas will be helpful)

    And I felt like puking this afternoon. (But that was because my salt was 600mg for the day instead of my usual 3000-3500mg).

    And in regards to the funnies and the motivation... Uploading any kind of picture is a chore to me. I have to upload it to a site first, then paste it here... With slow Internet. Blah. Lol but here's some homemade low carb cookies for yall... :cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie:
