  • I'm only in my second week, but my total carb goal is 70 grams (starting at 356lbs) and my net carbs so far have been averaging between 40-70. :smiley:
  • Haha, gotcha! I've been researching HF recipes all night! Thank you so much for the tips and support! That makes much more sense!

Do you think I should I switch to custom goals and tweak it a bit? And thanks for the rest of your advice, what great info!…
  • Thank you SO MUCH everyone!! I appreciate the insight, and I feel much better now! Onward and upward then (or downward, hopefully!)
  • I have 150 to lose just to be considered overweight! Please add me.
