you look amazing .. way to go !! I am trying to do 12 to 14 hours no eating , but wow you are awesome cause it is hard not to eat when you are use to eating all the time , (that is why i am fat) lol and i only eat low carb , but i like the WOE of stop eating at 8 pm and nothing til 10 am or later . You are doing Great Work…

Oh @itzcath I know what you are talking about and trust me I understand , my husband's mother and father were the same way , when she died , His father gave us boxes of bottled food (pickles and such) and All of it was bad . Then 2 years later we had to move him out of the house , because he had no water or electric . He…

I have always heard it's carb - fiber = net carbs ....so if this isn't true LOL man I have been eating more carbs then I should , people now are talking about going 0 carbs and now I have to count fiber carbs ,........just so dang confusing . I wish there was just one diet plan and that was it , and all this do this or…

peppers and onions with 2 small round steaks and all fried in coconut oil , first time i fried anything in it and wow it was good . pic not as pretty as everyone else , but it was Good !! soy sauce just 2 table spoons , also on a little bed of lettuce and cheese .

well I am going to answer myself , LOL I take it back someone actually took up for me and Low carb ,......there are great people out there !!!

the downside is how everyone in the main chat room on the forum are so rude about Low carb , I was being nice to someone , and they said they were doing low carb , man it jumped off from there , so sad people are so mean to each other , I do want to say I was not mean or rude , I finally just left , I am fine if someone…

no problem for me

How do you know we are not in calorie deficit ??? how do you know that we do don't stay UNDER our calorie limit ??? you keep saying it , like we don't get it .... btw i am always under mine . I worry about my carbs , I worry about eating veggies and meat and eggs and if I do that I am successful, because I am losing . and…

@womon1 I am very big and have trouble with my legs as well , I am doing low carb too , at first I could not exercise at all , now I do walk and I do a lot of sit down stuff , like 5 pounds weights , and the big rubber bands , stretch my arms with and legs . But doing low carb you should lose weigh doing no exercise (at…

@PaulaKro , thank you , yes doctors want me to do the bariatic surgery , and I won't , but i need surgery on my leg and my neck , that I have to lose all this weight before they will do it . The low carb works for me . I already have so much scar tissue on my stomach and problems , that bypass or sleeve or any of those…

Hopefully this turns things around for you. I don't know how far away from your goal you are, and the body does weird things on a short-term basis, so you have to learn to trust it. @Fit_Goat I have a lot to lose , so this really is a serious WOE for me , surgery, and doctors, pain, and pills , is my life and I am done . I…

@bmeadows380 What are you eating? Is it high in sodium? What meds are you taking? Do they tend to cause bloating or water retention? What kind of drinks do you drink? It amazes me how many drinks have hidden sodium in them! i log everything , like even mustard or pickles and they are basically 0 in everything LOL but i…

[/quote] It’s hard to read the numbers. The alignment makes it confusing. Have you lost any weight since going keto? You say it’s been 6 months and A1c is 6.1? What was it before? Is it getting better at all? I’m kind of surprised it’s not lower but I don’t know where you started so that matters a lot. Also, are you taking…
