@KeithF6250 that's so awesome, I wish everyone who struggles as we all have could find this supportive group to help them all figure things out and feel better and live longer healthier lives.3

This is a great group. Everyone is nice and willing to share their experiences which has helped me immensely.3

It's fun to watch the newbies come along with the same questions we had, then watch them bloom and turn around giving the same advice as they have been given! My chest swells with pride, as I'm sure others, before us, did while watching us too!
I also use many of you as examples when talking with others about their experiences, and it's always prefaced with, "My friend in ......". I do consider you all to be my friends!
The thought of a LCD group get together is fun, and would be such a great thing! My husband's friends wife travels yearly, and meets with friends that she met online! I used to think it was weird, but now understand completely!6 -
@auntstephie321 thanks for your lovely post. I am 6 mths behind you and sincerely appreciate the wisdom of the warriors here, like you, who continue to blaze the learning path. I have done more push ups, planks and squats largely thanks to you and our fellow posters who kept reporting in on our progress (or lack there of). Lovely thing about this is that on days when life goes pear shaped, I realise that I can be kind on myself and with good grace continue to learn n do the best I can. Thanks for being open and sharing the roller coaster ride with me.2

@auntstephie321 - Sappy works just fine for me. Many times it is the struggles we all share here that keep me going in my darkest times. I feel kind of like I'm in the place of treading water, that I can't seem to find my "swim lane," but it's easier to keep fighting back now that it is to give up, and that says something. Thanks for being there when it matters. I would tag everyone here who's made a difference, but that would probably take up three or more pages, so I'll just say, "Thanks to all my LCD buddies!"3

No matter how many times I log on to the LCHF posts I learn something new and am encouraged by what you all have to say about your individual efforts and challenges.3

Well... I'm a newbie and rely heavily on this discussion. Been a ton of help and certainly was the springboard for me to do a bunch of my own research. I am absolutely convinced that this is the way to go and would not have found it if I wasn't directed here a few weeks back.
I've been averaging about 25 carbs/day (always sub 30) for just over 2 weeks now. Just today, for the first time, I went to my regular lunch spot and realized that I had no interest in eating. I wasn't hungry in the least. I only ate 369 calories for breakfast... I should be starved.
Had amazing keto coconut curry chicken fingers for dinner last night with broccoli and real butter... a great salad for lunch yesterday with chicken and a great breakfast with the kids.
I haven't eaten so well in a really long time. I'm dropping 4 lbs/week. I worked out for 2 hours on both Saturday and Sunday (felt like I could have gone longer). I feel like a million bucks.
It is criminal that most people are unaware of this model and this WOE.
Thanks for all your help folks. Keep up the good work.
It must get repetitive to you... but for us newbies its all new and kinda unbelievable.
Thanks again. I can't imagine how many lives you have given back to people.5
