  • WooHoo. Great success. I am soooo excited for you. I am 4 lbs away from my goal. I can't wait to hit it.
  • All my digestive issues cleared up when I went low carbs. No heartburn thank heaven. It's always a balancing act even so, every once in a while my inner teenager takes over and won't listen to reason.
  • I've been low carbing since August and have lost 20 lbs. I've had some challenges that slowed my weightloss but am getting back on track. Plus, I am at an age where its supposed to be very hard to lose. Add me as a friend, I'm pretty active and pretty good at logging
  • My personal favorite is "dieting is easy"
  • Add me if you think I can help

  • I no longer read, or contribute to, any of the general forums. I find that they are frequently very hostile and I have no time for that. The same diet does not work for everyone yet many refuse to believe it. There is no support for people walking to a different drummer. Ignore and avoid them. People have to want to change…
  • not a veggie fan either. Not much fruit. This WOE is made for me
  • If you don't care for yourself, you can't help her. I'm sorry that she's sick and not doing well but losing your focus doesn't fix that. You are not shallow, you are self-aware. You have only one body to live in so you need to take care of it to face all the future challenges you will face.
  • I need a belt to hold up my jeans and all my tops fit.

  • People need to suggest that the data base needs editing. There is a place to put such suggestiins
  • I agree. And some of it needs more description as to what's included especially meals with a bunch of ingredients.
  • Nov 5 Stayed below 1200 calories; carbs were under 50 but way above my goal of 15 Increased steps but not yet to 10000 Did not drink enough water. I think I need to adjust my goals and be more specific. I also need to do a better job of planning meals.
  • Ok so I looked at some of the success stories from other WOE. Is it my imagination or do people who eat LC just look healthier. There seems to be something about improvements in skin texture
  • Thanks all. I'll add in some pickles and check out the soup idea.

  • I have been there. It's so easy to get on that slippery slide. You know what to do so that's the hard part. Now comes the best part. Keep logging, even if there is bad stuff involved. Keep reading MFP and try again. Get away from the idea of "starting again tomorrow." Its a bad trap to fall into. Start again today, right…
  • Wed, Nov 4. Mixed results. I logged and stayed within my food plan and macros. That's good. I didn't exercise enough - That's bad. I didn't drink enough water - that's really bad. I'll work on it although I don't see exercise improving til the weekend. I'm having company tonight. It's an indoor football tailgate. I made…
  • Happy to support you. Add me as a friend. I've been low carbing it since returning from a cruise in early August. I'm 2/3 of the way to my goal. I've learned a lot and would be happy to share
  • Hang in there. This too shall pass. We're here for you and know you can do it. Don't beat yourself up. Just don't lose sight of your goal

  • I am still overweight just not as overweight as I was. LC works. It is the only thing that works for me. I'm down 20 with probably 10 more to go. I'm happy. I'd be happy to be friends with anyone who needs reliable support. Friend me
  • I have one. It is hard to use properly. Not sure it will be helpful
  • I believe in science. I don't believe in ill informed media types who churn out articles that miss the entire point of the research they report upon. One must read the source document to find out what really was said. A month or two ago there were a series of articles based on sound bites that proclaimed that LC was not…
  • I though I was the only one obsessed with this WOE. I spend hours on line. I read every post on the Low carbers daily forum. I revel in the successes of others. I am amazed at 100+ weight losses. I am always sad when I see people struggling with CICO, starvation and crazy exercise. And I am grateful that so many were…
  • I'm envious. I wish we had Costco. We have 2 Walmart heiresses in town so the likelihood is slim. Sam's Club is OK but Costco has more variety and is better in general
  • My size 10 jeans can be removed without opening the zipper. Size 8's are just about right although they seem to be loose in places too. Down to a Medium leggings from XL. Life is good

  • It is incredible how changing to this WOE can change you life. I have no desire for the icky looking pastries in the bakery that would have been so hard to resist. I feel better and more energetic. I only tell people about LCHF if they seem generally interested. I have no interest in being browbeaten about how it is…
  • November is a tough month so planning is the key. My goals for the month are: 1. Keep carbs under 20 g and cals under 1200 2. keep an honest log 3. complete the 28 day squat challenge 4. Plan meals 5. I hope to lose 5 lbs November 1 and 2 are finished and successful. So far, so good
  • Thank you for this. I love the net carb hack. It makes me more accountable.
  • Karlotta, you are looking fabulous. "Hot" does not do you justice. Its wonderful to read your success story. It gives hope to the rest of us. Good luck in your renewed career. A new job gives new hope and expands your social group. Good for you. Kitn, I'm happy and relieved that life is settling down. I hope your work…
  • Sign me up. Back to basics is a great idea. I need to weigh, measure and log every day.
