I don't post much but I am so excited I had to share. I started low carb and MFP on July 9, Last Friday's 3 month blood work showed improvements across the board. triglycerides went from 236 to 163. LDL from 130 to 81, thyroid from 6.6 to 1.5 and A1C from 8.8 to 5.3!!! I am down 43 pounds (I know that is a lot) but not starving myself and all my vitamin and nutrient levels are fine. I still have a ways to go but I wanted to THANK YOU ALL. I read all the posts in several groups and find them inspiring and informative. It is what keeps me going! So keep posting and thanks again!!

    I am sure you will get great results. I did NOT expect such dramatic results so quickly. Also I am barely getting any exercise and I see you do. So fingers crossed!
