I recommend thyroid testing. TSH, T3 and T4. Simple blood tests.

I am usually less than 20 grams one carbs daily...except when I binge.

Well said. I needed to hear that too.

That is so great! Keep it up. Good luck.

So last night I moved the families junk food out of the pantry and into an upper cabinet and moved my empty food containers into the pantry. I might up my calories a little. Maybe I am being too restrictive. Thanks for the advise.

Sweet tea. I have been known to drink a gallon a day on occasion in the past. It tastes really horrible now.

Very good ideas. There are numerous items we don't have because they tempt me too much, but apparently some other things need to be added to the list. Maybe my husband can lock his junk in the safe, lol. Thank you for the input.

SideSteel, you have some good points. I live in a house full of carb eaters. My husband buys candy bars by the case at SAMs. He has no problem eating one of something. However, I crave whatever is there that I like until it's gone. He has been good about only buying the candy that I don't like. Remarkably, the sweets have…

J That is great! Congratulations. You hang in there. People will start noticing (and getting jealous) very soon. Great job!

I don't know how much you have lost, but I have read that other people don't generally notice until 20+ pounds are lost. Just goes to show that all our obsessing about ourselves is pointless. Nobody else is much worried about how we look. They are too busy obsessing about their own bodies and not paying us any attention,…

Yes and it is one of the hardest things I have ever experienced. So sorry you are going through this.

I am religious and that was hilarious!

Wonderful accomplishment. I am sure you feel so much better. Way to go!!!

I am also glad to know that it is not just me that cannot make the mental adjustment. I lost 70 lbs and have been maintaining at 65 lb loss for 8 months. I wear size 6 jeans. And when I look in the mirror, I still see 205 lbs!

I must say that it was very good. And now we are headed to a graduation and we are eating out and I am not hungry! All I can say is "wow!!"

Great job!!! Be proud of yourself! :)

Thanks for the encouragement!

Good lesson learned hopefully. After being excessively hungry and eating so much food, the next day was BETTER than usual. I was less hungry and able go throughy day without having food always on my mind. I ate much less the next day. No weight changes to speak of. Thanks for the encouragement. So I guess I need to listen…

I have been maintaining a 65 lb weight loss for several months. I am usually pretty satisfied. I am very faithful to the low carb and it has significantly decreased my hunger. I don't know what my body is doing today, but I don't like it. I just ate some turkey pepperoni and mozzarella cheese, which puts me way above my…

I think I do want to set a calorie limit and unsure what it should be. I am eating sometimes when I know I am not really hungry but I am craving food and this is driving my calories up over a deficit, I am sure! It's an odd sensation to know I am not hungry but still have terrible cravings. Before doing low carb I was…

Too funny!!!

My Walmart has almond flour but it was hard to find. It's in a small bag in the gluten free section. Maybe that's where your people put it! ;)

So. Is this supposed to be support thread for people doing LCHF or a bashing banting thread?
