I don't count my calories at all. I used to log them, but I stopped logging them. I just eat under 20g of carbs a day. There were days that I would eat 2500 calories and days I would eat 800 when I was logging. I eat if I'm hungry and if I'm not then I don't eat.

lol

Congrats! You'll never see a 2 as the first number on the scale again. It's a great feeling!

You can check out youtube for workout videos. I love Windsor Pilates 20 minute workout and you wouldn't need your foot for that, but if you're in pain and can't move it at all it may be a little hard.

Congrats! I also am doing a keto diet. I love it

People slowly add carbs in to see where there body starts to gain weight back and then continue life staying under what their body can handle. My whole diet was carbs before I started as well, but I don't miss them at all now, but I have a hard time sustaining low calorie. I get obsessed and starve myself then give up.…

Meat, eggs and cheeses

My goal weight is 129 as well. lol Everyone keeps asking why such a weird number and my answer is I just want to be in the 120s

Wow, you look like a completely different person. Congrats!

lol, I was trying to figure out why she was carring a torch.

You look good, congrats

I lost 20 pounds in a month, but I started at 267 pounds so that makes a difference, since I had a lot to lose. Now I am 157 pounds and I average 10 pounds a month.

Yes your body will tell you if you are hungry and give you clues to how you feel, but no matter what way of eating you choose, you have to give your body time to realize it is ok. I always say to give it 2 weeks before you decide you do or do not like the new way of life. Personally, I decided I like low carb, others like…

You were probably under 75 and like Stbarber1 said, You are still doing better than you would have before low carb so that is a good thing. Just make sure you don't starve yourself the rest of the day, if you are hungry eat something. There are lots of choices in food with 0 carbs.

Congrats! It is a great feeling and I also did not think I'd ever be a size 8

I count eggs as 1 carb for every 2 eggs. I just keep it in my carb count for the day

True

You probably didn't do too bad if you want to be between 50 and 75, but it depends on what was in the sauces. Without actually looking it up and not knowing your serving size I would guess you had about 25 carbs, not including the sauces.

The first week is tough for most people. Hang in there another week. Your body is switching over to burning fat for energy instead of carbs. Once your body gets used to it, you'll feel great. Drink some chicken broth or beef broth and lots of water. It should help a little

A lot of people do 0 carbs and they do great. I personally don't think I can stick to 0 carbs for life so that is why I do 20g or less a day, because I know I can stick to that. It's easy and I can have my salads, but there isn't a real need for carbs. If your body doesn't have carbs to burn, your body will use fat…

Also, when eating low carb, your cravings for carbs and sugar go away after the first couple weeks so it is really easy to make it your way of life. At least that is how it is for me

I eat low carb. I eat less than 20g a day I find it easier for me than low calorie, but everyone is different so if you want to go low carb, I would suggest trying it for two weeks and then deciding how you like it. The first two weeks you go through a bit a withdrawal and won't feel too great. It kind of felt like a mild…

Wow, amazing difference. Congrats

Congrats!

You'll love this way of eating after you get used to it. I stay under 20g of carbs a day. The first 2 weeks I felt horrible and then after that I felt great, so give it 2 weeks before deciding if this is the way of life for you. Today I'm working and I had a salad, with a ton of bacon bits and ranch dressing. I usually…

I stay under 20g of carbs. I feel great. I have had great success in losing weight and it is very rare that I get a craving for anything sweet and when I do get that craving, I find something low carb to fix it.

I don't drink much pop and don't drink coffee at all, but I love chrystal light which has sweeteners in it and it hasn't stalled me or made me crave anything sweet. Everyone is different though. I know a lot of people like bullet proof coffee so that might be something you want to look into. I believe it is coffee coconut…

Wow, congrats!

Have you taken pictures? I had lost 105 pounds before being brave enough to take a full body picture. Looking in the mirror I saw pretty much the same person I did 105 pounds heavier, but when I took a picture and I looked back at old pictures other people took of me, I saw a big difference. I'm still not where I want to…
