Hi @taylorcramer3 . I am on LCHF. I have been doing this WOE since mid-summer, and love it!. Lots of health benefits. I aim to keep my carbs below 50/day (though weekends are tough), and only pay attention to increasing protein on work-out days. I try to plan ahead by a week, but am not the best meal planner. I do keep the…

Congratulations to everyone! Awesome NSVs!

A year ago I was serving that third dish with dinner every night... either potatoes, rice or bread. I was a Jillian Michaels junkie... hoping that in 30 days I really could achieve results like they promise (did not happen)! I was obsessively counting calories, bloated, spacey, anxious, and wondering why the scale never…

Not super close as I'm in Nor Cal, Shasta County. I think there are just a couple CA folks in this forum

I wish I had a crazy Russian nephrologist... Going for a mug of broth now :)
-
Sad fact indeed… been there! And been to WW too, though that was about 10 years ago during the wine and bread phase of my life (go figure!). I lost 20 lbs on WW, but definitely not a sustainable WOE. Long term strategy is to stick with an LC WOE to maintain, pretty much what I am doing now. I kinda doubt that my metabolism…

If real cake/bread/cookies...etc... is present I have a hard time resisting (if even). But the longer I am LC the more these evils make my tummy hurt when I indulge! Glad you are not beating yourself up for it though. Just go back to Keto and it will all work out in the end! I tried microwave chocolate cake with almond…

Chicken soup... clean out the fridge style. Frozen chicken breasts, a little leftover celery, onion, garlic, broccoli, can of diced tomatoes, turmeric, salt and pepper. It turned out surprisingly good!
-
Chocolate square, 86% at least. With a dab of almond butter on top. Closest thing I have found to a peanut butter cup so far!

I had 1 day when I accomplished very low carbs, and a mild headache was the only side effect. However, it was also windy that day so may have been allergy related. I have slowly worked my carbs down over the past month to less than 50g, which has probably helped alleviate any "flu" symptoms; besides I did not know how to…

A wealth of knowledge and support. I like it here :)
-
So far... 1) I have been hit or miss on the under 50 carbs. Most days I struggle with this. But working on it. 2) So far pretty good with the walking! Ealy in the mornings is best, though the heat wave broke and I have been able to go later in the day. I also built myself a standing desk out of cardboard boxes so I am on…

I just got ID'd for buying alcohol... An NSV because I just turned 43 last week! Ok, so the sign said they ID everyone under 35. Still made happy :p

The closest event to me is in Sparks (Reno) Nevada. Hmmm... I wonder if I could talk hubby into a 4 hour road trip next Friday :)
-
This is wonderful news! You are doing awesome!
-
I aim for 2 nalgenes per day at least (64oz). Because I love water, and because it help minimize the potential for re-occurrence of kidney stones. I don't want to be there again!

Northern California. Fourth year drought and forecast of 108 for next several days. Ya'll are making me jealous with all this talk of fall! It is really beautiful here most of the year, just summers are brutal.
-
What a great post, thanks for sharing your story! You look beautiful in that green dress!
-
I watched Minding Your Mitochondria a few years ago. I think this is the same. Great video. Glad you posted it!

@GaleHawkins Thanks for the links! I hope over this holiday weekend to have time to read through. I agree talking to others, including family can be very touchy. I typically do not talk about woe or wol to others unless the topic comes up on their end, or they are lamenting about a health problem. But I drop it if no…

Cashew juice just doesn't sound as good. I hope they stick with milk.

@GaleHawkins Thank you for posting a link to Andrew’s story. Wow, that’s amazing! There is a 6 year old boy who was in my son’s kindergarten class last year just diagnosed with brain cancer. He had a tumor removed in July, and is just starting 6-8 months of chemo/radiation. I will point out this research to his mother. I…

Cancer survivor here as well. Big part of why I am now lc. Really has little to do with losing weight for me, though losing 3-4lbs would be a welcome side effect. A healthy body mentally and physically is the goal. Never had a single oncologist or dermatologist ever mention diet or lifestyle one way or the other. I wish I…

Inca Gold by Clive Cussler The History of the Ancient World by Susan Bauer Against All Grain by Danielle Walker - I love to read cookbooks Lots of great book ideas in this post that I'll check into. I register for library cards when visiting other (big) cities so I can access lots of free books on Overdrive.

Carb cravings are certainly a tough problem. I am (or hopefully was) most definitely a carb addict as well. My hubby brings home all kinds of tempting foods… ug! It has been a trial to stay out of the chips and cookies. Sorry about the Dr. Pepper in the fridge all the time. That is tough! Maybe he could get a garage fridge…

Oops, my apologies to the main forums. I might get kicked off of here too! :)

KISS Goal: 1) Be able to button up my jeans again (I refuse to buy the next size up). Fall is coming soon and I can't wear my stretchy shorts forever. Implementation Plan: 1) Stick diligently with LCHF (under 50g carb). Not just for fat loss, but to keep from feeling all bloated and crappy; hence my pants will fit better.…

I avoid most forums like the plague. I actually had an MFP account a long time ago then dropped it because of all the ego trips and downright meanness going on, some call it tough love but I don't think so. I later found that mostly just the main forums can get rowdy, groups like this are fantastic! The logging is easier…

I made a big batch of lamb meatballs about a week ago and froze most of them. They heat up really well for a quick lunch of 3 meatballs, add some cheese and a small salad. I also cook enough bacon on the weekends to have one piece with breakfast each morning. And enough bacon fat for cooking with all week.
-
Great goals everyone! Thanks for more ideas :) I definately need to up the fat as well hence the fat bomb goal. I am not very hungry on LC, need to get more HF in there somehow. I made some fat bombs this afternoon with almond butter, coconut oil, cocoa powder, allspice and stevia. In the freezer now, I hope they will be…
