    @raytamtay3 - I agree. Everyone has to do what works for them. I used to be able to lose weight on 1500 calories a day of consisting of chicken breasts, oatmeal, apples, sweet potatoes and egg whites. And these days, I can't lose an ounce on that, let alone 1500 calories on bread, potatoes, or pasta. Unfortunately, for me, general CICO doesn't work. But 1500 calories of low carb/high fat foods like whole eggs, butter, coconut oil, avocados, nuts, cheese, and spinach does help me lose weight. Plus, helps me to actually feel full, and my cravings for sugar and starches pretty much disappear on LCHF.

    HELLO everyone. I'm DAY 2 for low carb eating. So far so good for me. PLEASE feel free to add me, I would love to help and motivate anyone i can!

    I have a tubing trip in July and cruise in October, so I am really ready to drop the weight and look my best... I go to the gym in the morning but haven't been in the last couple weeks because I've had a terrible chest cold and can't stop coughing!

    I love how flat my stomach has gotten. I've done LC off and on (more so on) for about 4 years now and every time I go on it long term, I forget to take a before and after pic of my stomach! Ugh! The other strange thing is, other than walking, I'm not really working out like I use to, but yet I'm getting definition in my abs. Anyone else noticing this in theirs?

    Click on their name below their avatar/photo. That pops up another box then click on their name in the new pop up box. Then you will see the ADD as a Friend button.

    Hello. I'm fairly new to this site. I am doing the low carb things and would love to have some people who are doing the same to help keep me motivated! I would like to lose about 15 lbs.

    I completely avoid complex carbs in my diet and want to lose about 15 pounds as well. We can do this!

    K...so anyway...still doing very well low carbing it! Stayed on track all weekend which is no small feat! I guess not having our annual Memorial Day BBQ helped with that!

    My total counts were not good yesterday. Late baseball game+PMS= bad choices! Ugh. Back on the wagon today though.

    I think you're using the term complex carbs differently than I do. Leafy green vegetables, legumes.... are so called "complex carbs".
