I'm just getting started, and could use some low-carb friends, too! Sending request!

Thanks, red. I think I should congratulate you for the battles you've won this year - I can't imagine going through those things simultaneously. Thanks for the encouragement!

That's so good - it sounds like you have a great trainer. I'm glad you got good advice here!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I also lost my Mum suddenly when she was 51. That was a lot for you to have happen in one year. How wonderful that after all that, you've been blessed with another pregnancy. Does BMI even count when you're pregnant? I don't think so. If you know you're eating better and are feeling better, good…

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to focus on yourself when someone else needs so much from you. Good for you for starting to get in control now!

Yes, for sure about the stress hormones. I think accidents are so bad because you have all different kinds of trauma at the same time, and have to try to rebuild physically without much emotional strength, and emotionally without much physical strength...not easy. Are you doing physical therapy now, or are you allowed to…

Wow, you have been through a lot. I would love to keep in touch with you because I now have issues with my joints, too. Thanks for sharing.

Oh no, I'm so sorry. Good for you for making some changes. I'll add you, thanks!

That sounds great! How much parmesan cheese do you use? Another good one to try, thanks!

Again, I wasn't asking for advice about whether or not to eat flour-crust pizza.

I actually wasn't asking for advice about what I eat, I was asking for a specific kind of recipe. I need to avoid all refined flour as much as possible because of insulin resistance, so "real pizza" is not a good option for me.

Wow, that looks like a great recipe! I will have to try it if I can find the right cheese - in my country I am not sure about getting low-moisture mozzarella. What do you think, is there any other cheese I could substitute for that?

Ooh, thanks, that does look good, and I like that it has less cheese in it (maybe that way I can even put a little cheese on as a topping). I'll try this!

I have three kids and successfully lost the weight after each of them (though that was a long time ago and now I need to lose again). My method was absolutely logging what I eat. I found it very easy to nibble all day and not even know what my intake was, when my kids were little. Good luck!

Wow, you're very active then! Good for you!!

If I say yes, will you eat it?

Oh no

Tina, I'm so sorry for your losses. I say good for you for addressing a problem that you can do something about (there are so many things in life we can't do anything about...)

Oh no, My_B (sorry, I can't bring myself to write that out!) What happened to you is terrible. Congratulations for getting back on the fitness train now! Are you running again, or something else?

Oh wow, Razzyirt, that sounds like a bad accident. For now they are saying no surgery, and I am waiting to get into a rehab hospital for inpatient physical therapy. That's fantastic that you dropped 7 lbs! What kind of exercise are you able to do that works for you?

I have given up refined sugar several times and it makes such a difference if you are prone to sugar/carb addiction. Sadly, I fall back into it. I really don't have any pointers other than let Advil and lots of water be your friend for the headaches you will probably have, and just stick with it! I started today, so I am…

I'm Margaret, from the US but live in Europe. I need to lose 40 lbs altogether but 20 by Christmas is a good realistic goal! I just started here a few days ago and just paying attention to portion sizes has helped me drop 3 lbs already :) 4 years ago I lost 35 lbs (sadly gained it back eventually) so I know I can do it. My…
