Amazeballs! You look great!

Having kicked the habit myself, I have faith in both of you. If I can do it, anyone can, but as pointed out above, you must believe in yourself first. You both have a non-smoker hidden inside of yourself, just let them shine on!! B) B)

I love your attitude. I need to copy and paste this quote somewhere on my computer and read it once a week. I am so close to goal but can't make it. But reading your post will help keep me on point. I have a hard time distinguishing between hunger and habit, especially now that I have recently retired. Working kept my mind…

@kathrout1973 : Welcome back. I, too, missed your pink hairdo and loved following your zc excursion. I think aiming for under 50 is a doable first step, at least it was for me. Log on and keep us updated! :)

I'm glad as well. Very time consuming to listen to all that is put out in one day.

My go to convenience food is: Costco Frozen, pre-cooked Angus burgers. Two minutes in the microwave, 0 carbs, couldn't be easier. I just nuke some frozen vegs on the side.

Here is something I just purchased in Costco. New to me but maybe y'all are familiar with them. I know, I know, we can make our own but sometimes it's nice to have it done for you. 100 cal for 15, 0 carb. They are parmesan cheese crisps. Don't let the label fool you, size-wise they are about the size of a quarter, on the…

A really tough decision, I feel for you. Just take some time to think it over carefully. I usually try to think of "best case scenario' vs. "worst case scenario" and that helps me make up my mind. Don't rush into anything.

You look fabulous!

Boob loss "sigh". Hard for those of us smallish to begin with.

For what it's worth, Tim Noakes, on the Keto Summit said that cholesterol levels are NOT what we should be tracking, he feels triglicerides are more important to watch.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Dr. Westman calls a plateau a 3-4 week time period.

Just my two cents: stay on them, have the blood work, then ask your new PCP if there is any chance you could begin to reduce some of them.

@silverfiend : Amazing photos! My DH would be so jealous, if only he cared :'( Hope you enjoyed the cruise (lchf, of course?)

Today's lecture by Dr. Seyfried is excellent!!

@ladipoet: Thanks for posting the photos. You are an inspiration to so many here.

@samantha: All that means is there is a better one waiting for you somewhere!

Love it in coffee and, of course, whipped on just about anything!

So jealous! Good for you :)

@lovesretirement : Where in SC? I live in Aiken County.

@samanthaluangphixay: sorry to hear about your horrendous weekend. Hang in there, be kind to yourself so you can help mom, things will improve. Hugs!

Certainly hope the above is correct, I went carb crazy today for two meals. Hoping in 2 or 3 days I'll be back on track. I think I let some physical/emotional problems get the better of me and just used them as an excuse to go binge on carbs. I'll let go of the guilt now that it's printed here in black and white and…

I didn't supplement initially and had the flu pretty bad, but I also have low bp so that may have compounded the problem. I still supplement along the way as I feel the need to. Congratulations on a great start! :)

So hard to believe there is only a 2lb difference in those photos. Just goes to show ya.....photos are another valuable tool (one of several).

Photos are a must. We can't all come to your gym for the competition.......or could we? What a sight that would be.

If it were not for this group, I would definitely not be LCHF. I asked for help with electrolyte imbalance and received advice and threads to read. I am now almost 5 lbs from goal and owe much to these forums. Aside from knowledge, it is nice to know you are not walking alone on this journey.

OP = Original Post ( I'm not sure this is correct, is it?)

South Carolina & Virginia. Been under 50 grams (sometimes less than 25 grams) for 3 months.

I know the IPhones can be a bit twitchy, I log on using the computer not my IPhone, try logging in on your computer.

I cut the Doctor's Best in half and take them that way.
