I've been doing low carb since June and most days I try to keep my net carbs between 20 and 30 grams. But there are days when I might go as high as 75 to 100 grams. I find that the lower I go the more I weight I lose.

I've been eating mostly low carb for about a year. At 60-100g my blood sugar and cholesterol are slowly creeping down but my weight doesn't budge. To see any movement on the scale I have to stay below 25g of net carbs but everyone's different.1 -
I am not particularly trying for low carb but I have my macros set for 30% carb 40% fat and 30% protein.0

I, too, am doing 20 to 25 gms net carbs,1200 cal, and successfully added intermittent fasting (16:8) to help ‘unstall’ my weight loss. MFP is so helpful for tracking!!! And I pretty much avoid alcohol, even if it fits in my carbs and cals.2 -
@UTMom81 - Delightful to see you! Congratulations on losing weight during your Alaska vacation! Super impressive! ⛰️😊😊
@mrmcgrath - Welcome! I think @broncobuddee or @Kres567 can update your starting weight for the August challenge.
I also eat no sugar, no dairy, so happy to swap recipes if you are ever looking for something like that!
@TeresaW1020 - What a great day you had, especially with all you have going on! 🏠👍🏽
@tess5036 - Wow! Your big running events are coming up so soon! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️ Sounds exciting and maybe a little nervous-making! 😬😊
@bethanie0825 - Plateaus are frustrating, but part of the process, aren't they! Keep up the great work you are doing! (If you are like me and not gaining, that means you are working and paying attention!)
@raleighgirl09 - {{ Remember the good, be the good and encourage others on their journey }} I love seeing this in your goals. It inspires me! 🗼⛰️👍🏽😊😊😊
@Jactop - Brilliant loss this week! ⚖️👍🏽
@Wishusdonna - I am impressed at your continuing to get your steps in most days. Keep doping what you need to do to take care of yourself. We are all here cheering you on. 🤗👍🏽😊

Tuesday check-in
Calories under
Exercise weights, elliptical, and bike
I was pretty worn out from my Sunday hike so I cut back on my bike time. Hopefully I'll be able to go for a decent time tonight as I'll be away from my bike for 2 weeks. Food-wise is going good, I feel back on track. I'm trying to eat the rest of the healthier food in fridge before I leave tomorrow for my trip. I'm spending the night at a relative's and we leave for the airport the next morning. I'd love to continue weight loss while gone but realistically know maintenance is a better way to think. Have a great day everyone!1 -

Is it possible to skip this weeks weigh in and just go with last weeks weight? I don’t think I can emotionally handle TOM weight right now. 😢5

Track: yes
Calories: yes, under
Water: yes 100+ oz
Exercise: yes walking cleaning weight training2 -
Yesterday I had free cinema tickets to go see Midsommar, so as it was also too hot to cook made it a bargain pizza and ice cream night too... so feeling spoiled and the calorie overspend shows it, but a good night, and the sleep is not too bad considering we got woken up by giant hailstones, thunder and lightning.
I hear we have our hottest day in the UK on record coming up, so might be a good time to get into salad.
Steps 12711 - but most of them were done at work to be honest.3 -
