Hi all I would like to join you. I started walking on the treadmill in mid Jan. I didn't lose any weight until the last couple days. I am trying to eat less and keep moving. I am post surgery so everything is a struggle. I don't heal like I used to. lol I hope everyone is having a good day. Lorianne

Hello, I would like to join you. I have started over too many times to count. I lost a bunch of weight 10 years ago but I am up 60 lbs from my goal weight. I got an activity tracker and a smart scale. Not sure why but these things encourage me. ~Lorianne CW 183.3 HW (this time) 191.5 Lifetime H 311 Goal 129.5

Well it has been a week now and at first I lost a couple lbs but now I am right back where I started. Not sure why as I am not cheating and even increased my exercise yesterday. Not giving up.

I am doing keto. In 2003-2006 I lost 185 lbs on keto. It is the easiest most effective plan for me. I had foot surgery and a couple bouts of pneumonia last year and gained back 50 lbs. I had been off the keto plan and maintaining for 10 years without dieting at all prior to this gain. I love knowing that this is only…

I have no advice but want to follow this thread as I have the same issue.

I experience this when my blood pressure increases with exercise. Another reason could be you are not breathing correctly. Lack of oxygen will cause this too. Also protein before exercising could help if it is an insulin fatigue issue. Also monitor your heart rate. Keep in the correct zone, you may be overdoing. I suggest…

I just got a fitbit in today's mail. (thankyou hubby) I am not very active but intend to use it daily and hopefully increase my activity as my health improves.

I respectfully disagree that a low carb diet and low calorie diet are essentially the same. I have lost nearly 150 lbs doing low carb. Often I have days that consist very large steaks, sour cream (I use as a steak sauce, i know it is weird but hey) My calorie count would be way up around 3500 for the day... day after day.…

I have used the keto diet to lose over 150 lbs. I was on for 3 years and lost from 317 lbs down to 132 lbs which was my goal weight. The reason a keto diet works better and you lose weight faster is you convert your body from burning sugar for fuel into burning fat for fuel. The key is you must remain in light ketosis or…

really glad to see everyone so positive. I finally reached day 3 on low carb (this go round) Day 3 in my experience is when hunger and carving disappears and you start to feel more energetic. I don't even think about the cookies or ice cream that my hubby is eating next to me every night. I also dropped 1.8 lbs, yay! I…

Joining in, I have 50 lbs to lose and would love company. SW 317 CW 178 GW 125-132 I low carb/keto to lose weight. Most effective for me.

I started losing in 2003 and maintained my goal weight for 10 years. This go 'round my weight had been slowly climbing from 132 up to 180ish after foot surgery and other health issues. I was in denial. I had not thought about my weight for several years. I refused to buy new clothes and live in sleep pants and t-shirts.…

Hi, I don't work currently but back when I did, I often took a can of tuna and a little miracle whip to work. I had a fridge so the miracle whip just stayed there. I would just open the tuna, dump into a bowl and add the MW and eat with a spoon. It was filling and lo-cal. Every Friday I would treat myself to fried chicken…

hello, Please add me if you want a low-carb friend who has been low-carbing for years. Just a note to those who are type 2 diabetic. I was able to control my blood sugar with this diet and once I weighed less than a 190 lbs my type 2 diabetes just went away. Even when testing at a doctor's office! Such a nice surprise.…

Hello, I would love to be a keto friend also. I lost over 150lbs on a low carb/keto diet between 2004 and 2006. I reached my goal weight of 132 and stayed within a couple lbs of that... sometimes higher and sometimes lower for over 10 years. One of the things that I found to be so encouraging for me was once I reached my…

My confession - I gained back 50 of the 150 lbs I lost about 10 years ago. Somehow in all that time that I stayed at or near my goal weight, I lost the "ME" who was strong enough to lose it in the first place. I followed a diet for 2 years the first time and now I cannot get in two days in a row. I am fat, sleepy, sore,…
