I have been on low carb since January and have lost 18 pounds. It's a great diet. I stay under 20 carbs a day and have found the foods that I like and can eat. The first couple of weeks can be rough but once you push through, it gets easier. So much so that I believe that I could eat this way for life.

How much do you use each day for inflammation?

Thanks! I will look into getting a heart rate monitor.

I used Phentermine several years ago and lost about 30 pounds in 2 months. However, I was jittery, irritable, and had trouble sleeping. But I continued because I was happy with the weight loss. But, I started to get immune to them after so long and then they stop working. I gained it all back plus more.

Thanks that helps!

Sounds great! Thanks for posting!

I agree.

Wow! Way to go! So inspiring!

My doctor told me to take mult-vitamin with food or it's just a waste.

Tell me about this gluco please. How does it help your knees? I don't know what runners knees are (I don't run) but a year ago I moved into a house with stairs (10 inch steps when regulation is 7 inch) and I have recently developed pain and weakness in my knees. Haven't been to doctor though.

Awesome!

Yes, whatever you burn you can eat. :smile: If you are eating too little you probably won't lose anything...maybe even gain...at least that has been my experience.

This may be a dumb question but I'm new at this....what are macros?

I eliminated sugar, potatoes and white bread. I stay under 1700 calories per day. I workout on the elliptical for 30 minutes which burns 200 calories which I get credit for so that makes my caloric total around 1500/day. If I do the 1200 they suggest I don't lose weight. And I have 1 big cheat meal every 10 days or so. I'm…

You look fantastic!!! Very inspiring! How did you do it and how long did it take?

All natural peanut butter on celery is a great snack too. Finely chop cauliflower in a food processor, put in a bowl with a lid and cook in the microwave (don't add water or anything) and it steams the cauliflower and has the texture and appearance of rice. Add butter and a little salt and it's delicious!
