in Motivation and Support
After having a recent scare with my blood sugar (was over 1,000 in a urine test; but highest by finger stick has been 188); I have decided to follow a low carb diet. I am doing great so far and have lost 4.9 lbs in 2 days! My blood sugar is down to 122.

I am looking for others who are living the low carb lifestyle. I want buddies who will motivate me and I can motivate as well; and also exchange recipes with! So please feel free to send me a message or add me as a friend!

I have over 100 lbs to lose so I am in this for the long haul!

    Hi, I have a 100 lbs to go too. I am really not good at it at all. Trying to do this on my own is not working very well, without support.

    Add me to Team Low Carb! Currently on the HCG program and will continue low carb on my weight loss journey. I’m down 25lbs., have 60ish to go. Occasionally fantasize about Red Lobster biscuits, but the victories on the scale/health are worth the sacrifice.

    I’m trying to do low carb, which is opposite of how I’ve eaten my entire life. I’m definitely in the learning stage. Still have about 55lbs to lose as good use some support. I’ve also started HCG recently, so I’m trying to figure how to maximize my results with that.

    I am fairly new to low carb as well. I have always done weight watchers or just calorie counting before to lose weight but I like that low carb eating will help control my diabetes. I am trying to not get bored with the same ol things and looking for new recipes and things to try. I have over 100 lbs. to lose; seems like such an unreal goal but I can get there if I take it one day and 1 lb. at a time! Good luck!
