    I tried LCHF a few months back and did t do well. I think it was bc I wasn't really ready or prepared. I started, along with my husband, last Monday and am stoked!!! I'm a done 9 pounds and I'm actually not as hungry as I thought. I love this thread and so glad to be back here!!

    @jackiefrost1013, if you are adding emoticons that are not from the bar above the box you are typing in (where the happy face is), anything after the emoticon often gets dropped. >:)

    Welcome back! Congrats on the 9 pounds! :)

    @rac56 - thank you for those words!! I am going to really try tomorrow to get through the day without giving in to carbs - why is it at night that my resolve crumbles? Even if I have had plenty to eat I am still getting major carb cravings. I just ate 2 small Ritz Cracker sleeves blowing my carefully maintained carb count for the day... :/

    Maintenance is like riding on a see-saw. You go too far the wrong way; you tighten things up until they go back. Rinse and repeat. My balance is too far on the gain side (still a healthy BMI but too chunky for me) so it's time to cut back down again.

    My car broke down and has been at the shop since yesterday, so I failed at meal planning/grocery shopping...and have not yet attempted my butt challenge. But I'm proud of myself for staying on track on the big stuff.
