It sounds like most of us had a positive holiday experience. I know I did although in retrospect I wish I had been more discerning about my food choices. All I can do now is put the wheels back on the wagon and get going. I've gained back 6 pounds. I keep telling myself that if it went on quickly it will come off quickly.…

The Midwest is rainy. Missouri will float away soon. This is not a bad thing

This has been a tough two months. I lost my older sister in November and my Mother in Law in December. I am ready for good changes. Hopefully Christmas with my family will be fun and peaceful. I haven't gained but I haven't lost either. I plan on just making it through to New Years Eve then making January a month of food…

I dislike clowns and monkeys. Completely irrational but there it is

It's okay to add me. I've had a bad few weeks and will be pulling myself together starting tomorrow. My diary is open although there hasn't been any activity lately.

Hi Piano Run (and everyone else) I am a 67 year old woman who has lost 25 lbs since Sept. Believe it or not, it can be done. I don't have a regular exercise program, I don't really like to go to the gym. I have increased my daily activity level and try to get around 10K steps most days. I always wear my fitbit. I have…

Why is there no parade for Bacon Day? There should be one.

If people don't want to vote then they have no right to complain. I like the idea of a cut off. After all, this is not a life or death decision

This turnout looks like a presidential election

I don't really reward myself. I'm just happy with whatever I lose

We have been making this cake in the US. Substitute "Famous Chocolate Wafers" for the AU brand. When I bring it to events, people are surprised at how delicious it is. I am going to have to research whether there are sugarfree wafers here as well.

hypothyroid and old and still lost on LCHF. I'm down around 22 lbs.

I've lost around 22 since August. I had some challenges with vacations, birthdays and holidays but I haven't put any back. Love this WOE

I have decided to tighten up my eating (20 g carbs) and try IF 16:8 three days a week. It should be doable for a while. Thanks for all the input. I just love this community

You look great! Congratulations on your loss.

Hi Kids, I'm not a big poster to this discussion but I really like to read about everyone else's adventures. I had some adventures of my own this past week. We went to visit our daughter, SIL and two boys in the Chicago area. Then went on to visit our son and DIL and their son and daughter in the Portage MI area. Our…

Eating at someone else's house is a much bigger challenge that restaurant eating. At least in a restaurant you have some illusion of control. That is why Thanksgiving (US) was such a big challenge. I understand why you would back out of a situation that probably would cause more stress than pleasure. You did the right thing

I have been LCHF for a bout 2 mo and am within 5lbs of goal. The Low Carb Daily Forum Group is active and helpful. I recommend it

I made shrimp scampi with lots of butter and garlic and used the noodles in place of pasta or rice. It was wonderful. It provided a transport mechanism for the garlic butter.

Thanks for the help

IMHO Turkey bacon should not be called "bacon" It is a poor imitation of the real thing

I am always amazed at the argument people offer that if you stop eating LC you will just gain the weight back. Isn't the same thing true if you stop eating any type of diet, High Carb low fat included? I think that the idea should be that you need to find what works for you to lose the weight without feeling overly…

Your success gives hope to the rest of us. It can be done and you are proof. Thank you.

My vote is private as well. There is so much information available on the net i had already made my decision about this WOE before I joined the group. This is such a supportive environment that I would hate to jeopardize it by allowing people to join who have no real interest. I've fine tuned my knowledge regarding LC from…

mine are also at 70/25/5 1200 calories. It takes some getting used to but is worth the trouble

I had 30 lbs to lose and have lost 22 since september. I am my lowest weight in 15 years. I'm very happy about it. I need to lose 4 lbs to get to my year end goal. I know I can do it.

I just found this group but I belong to two others: Low carb daily support and Keto. Both are very active and worth a look

I have no plans but I am not going to obsess. It's only one day after all and I know i can do it.

I use mostly websites. There are a ton of them available especially if you just google LCHF or low carb. the most expensive part is the initial investment in ingredients ie almond flour, coconut flour, sweetner, coconut oil.
