    @bailey2208 Those are all good reminders for me. I know I do not drink enough water and often forget how important it is with this diet. I am just recovering from surgery but am going to hop back on the elliptical tomorrow and need to get a strength training plan in place. I also think the suggestion of sticking to meats and veggies is a good idea. I tend to get overwhelmed trying to make recipes with a million ingredients and have trouble logging it all. Thank you for chiming in!!!

    @cstehansen I absolutely am feeling better and moving better. It is actually pretty incredible how much of an improvement I have made there. Thank you for the advice on fasting. This is actually something that I haven't ever looked into so I will follow up with the videos like you suggested.

    PLAN. Failing to plan is planning to fail. I pre-log my day. Every day. There are no surprises, oopsies, and the decision is made so that there's no on-the-spot-I'm-hangry decisions thrust at me.

    This is good advice -- I do best when I bring in lchf foods for lunch and keep them in the work fridge: no temptation to eat carby stuff on the fly.
    Congrats on your weight loss! kcko

    @mmultanen I think that our bodies work similarly. It is nice to know that this has worked for you and I am definitely going to make it a priority to start tracking!

    Right! if you are prepared you ALWAYS have a good choice available. Unpredictable life events cannot wreck you.
    You control that at least, even if everything else defies control. YOU get to decide what goes into your mouth.

    53 pounds is amazing. You need to find your own way. Keep your eye on the long term goals but take it one day at a time.
