Just wanted to thank all of those who took the time to post and share your thoughts and ideas about how to best address this situation. A lot of very good ideas. Amazing and inspiring people on these boards!

Sorry to hear this! Sounds like we both can try and improve our situations...

She's not, but that's a great point. Thanks!

It's worked for me. I've been averaging about 35 carbs/day for 6 months, and am down 32lbs. I've also lowered my calorie intake considerably--and track it religiously--which is obviously a key component.

Have you moved your macros around? Maybe lower your carbs, increase your healthy fats, and see what that might impact?

Ditto--been doing LCHF for 6 months now, and it's been amazing.

I've been doing low-carb for 6 months now, and am down 31lbs. So, it "works," but honestly I've also been counting (and limiting) my caloric intake at the same time, which is ultimately what's caused the loss. LCHF (keto) isn't a magic bullet, but for me I love eating this way and it's very satiating. Getting off sugar,…

I had chips and queso with my salad Saturday night; boom, up 2.2lbs on Sunday. It's taken me until yesterday (Thursday) to go back to where I was before, so 4-5 days. That's the 2nd time that's happened--drastic water weight gain--since I've been using MFP for the past 6 months, so I didn't freak out too much about it.…

SHUT UP!! Thanks for this nugget...

Sweet! I'm on month 5 and down 27 as well. It's been an amazing experience and so glad I began it...

This is so true. I did a full Ironman some years back and lost, over the 6-8 months I trained for it, about 9lbs. That was with training 2x/day, with 3 workouts on Saturdays, up to 20 hours total per week. The problem was that I was burning so many calories that I was hungry all the time and definitely NOT eating properly.…

Hey--I've been doing this for about 5 months now and am down 26lbs or so. No real hunger cravings and I love what I eat. It's been a revelation for me, fwiw.

Ditto for me, diary is open...

I've been following a low carb eating lifestyle for 4 months now and it's been great. I do also track all my food religiously in MFP, as others have suggested you do. I've found it to be a fantastic and sustainable way to eat. It's reduced cravings for sugar/carbs--these have traditionally been my downfall--and I find…

I've been on a low card lifestyle for 4 months now and did, at first, cut out all sweeteners. I do add a bit of stevia now to some drinks, and it hasn't really affected my weight loss. Some other are more stringent, I'm sure.

I shoot for about 30g / day and have been losing weight consistently.

I eat a few cans a week, and I'm still here and functioning. At least I think so! :-)

Hi--feel free to check out my eating diary. I've been doing this for about 11 weeks now and have lost 18lbs with very little hunger. I eat about 25-30 carbs/day. Probably going to up the amount of calories here soon, but it's ween working amazingly well.

3.5lbs...

Hey, I have been doing a LCHF diet/plan for about 8 weeks now and I'm down about 14lbs as of this morning. It's been great so far; little to no hunger, have stopped cravings for sweets and other items that have been my downfall in the past. Feel free to check out my food diary. Basically I have some eggs and meat for…

Such an amazing accomplishment, and it's not easy! You should feel so proud of yourself...

You are amazing! Keep it up!!
