    @YvonnePM , @JustVickiLynn , welcome to the thread!

    @JustVickiLynn , there are so very many ways of following a low (or lower) carb eating plan. There is great information in the stickies at the top of the group page. The Launch Pad is particularly helpful ( thanks, @baconslave ,)

    My Garmin Vivoactive is acting up and I need to send it for repair. Sad to say I feel lost without it.

    Just joined! This group looks active and supportive. My goals are:

    Log food every day (I'm accountable on this as I report to my DPP class every week)
    Get 15 minutes of exercise every day (discovered Leslie Sansone videos so this is working out well so far)

    I noticed that some people say "keeping carbs to 50" along those lines. Is that per meal? My doctor advised me to keep carbs to 45 per meal (three meals) and no more than 15 per snack (two snacks). Keeping carbs to 50 for the whole day seems insurmountable! At least for me . . .

    Leslie is the bomb! If you get tired of hearing her gab, you can put on a podcast or listen to music instead while you walk to the muted vid. She is how I started working out regularly almost 7 years ago.

    As other posters have said, there are different low-carb plans. Some lower carb than others. They are talking less than 50 per day. Others do 100 per day. This is a "roll your own" group so we accept all manner of carb ranges.

    Welcome!!!

    Goals✅ I did some snacking on nuts after dinner so I need to cut that out but overall a decent day. Tuesday’s mean an afternoon of sitting so I tried to stay active early and exceeded my move goals. I could add some NEAT in the evenings so I’ll try to incorporate in the coming days.

    Carby evening cravings lead to overage on carbs and calories. Other goals were on track. I’ve been craving more junk lately probably brought on by work and dog stress. This should be calming down soon. My 16th wedding anniversary is coming up Friday so we’ll flex on that day then back in the wagon of healthy eating.

    Technical problems are preventing me from working today which had me fuming the past 6 hours. But you know what? Not once did I have the urge to binge eat or eat junk like I used to. I text vented to a few folks and decided to do some Keto baking while I wait for an internet rescue. (Using my WiFi hotspot works for personal devices but not my work stuff boo)

    So in the oven are some ham and parm egg cups and fat head bagels are next. Blueberry something after that if I'm still waiting.
