111, that's progress :)

Like Christine, my carbs are higher than some other Keto folk. Like Neohdiver, also diabetic with same goals. My diary is closed, but willing to share successful foods!

134, better but needs more downward progress

really bad!! 157 - had 67 total carbs (61 net) yesterday. Not entirely sure what's going on.

other than that one biscuit that kept staring me down, I did really well on carbs (30 net) but morning glucose was bad... 137. Darned biscuit....

I think I'll spring for a photo session with a Jared Platt. He was an photo instructor I had and he takes some amazing images. All the images taken of me in the last 15 or so years have not been pleasing, but one he took in class on the fly was good. Imagine how great I'd look if he was actually trying and I met my goal…

123 this morning. So far, having a good diet day, but if I don't remove those biscuits staring me in the face, I won't! Kids, come eat!!!!!!!!!!

Where did he find it? Looks yummy!

110, but it was a bad week before... :( and too ashamed to post.

also in Phoenix

@kalenawald that is tremendous progress. I think your doc will be happy with your huge drop.

119 carbs attacked & won

Huge change and may your commitment continue!

Like the above poster, I found this forum by looking for low carb on the group search. It was private when I joined and prefer to keep so.

What flavor is kangaroo and how much does it cost?

129 since I was exhausted and fell asleep before taking medicine.

And then I arrive to teach school and it is 135 :( Only difference is stress.

@RebeccaMaunder "They have tested my thyroid many times and it always comes up normal." (I have NO idea how people do quotes in the thread, sorry!). I understand completely since I was in the same place until my naturopathic doctor measured the thryoid by muscle reaction instead of by a blood test. I'd had every test,…

@ladipoet - is mint endothermic as well? (good geeking knowledge!)

going by MFP which recommends 1260 but most days I exceed the recommended number of calories by about 100-200, still putting me at a very slight weight loss.

Vanilla extract will give you a lot of flavor for few calories. However, if you have a Penzy's spices, they have a double extract. It is double the vanilla pods per amount of solvent (should be alcohol). The alcohol carbs are a whole different creature I am not familiar with, but... the amount needed to flavor would be…

I like erythritol, and the yummiest thing I splurge on is Bai5 coconut flavor. Tastes utterly decadent. In foods, I cannot really tell much of a difference than regular sugar taste, but... when you taste if off your finger, it has a cool-ish sensation, almost like a bit of mint or something, but without the mint flavor.…

hilarious!

109 - heading in the correct direction.

I think no sugar Metamucil has helped me. Around 5 carbs, but worth it to carry out some of my bad cholesterol. Also flax - try the 60 second microwave flax muffin recipe. Good amount of fiber, protein and it curbs hunger for several hours.
