Feel free to add me : )

I have lost 78 pounds in 6 months with basically no exercise...not that it was a great idea but it just happened that way. I have just started some exercise to get the last 20 off and be healthier and more fit.

that's ONEderful! congrats to you!!

i am 5'4" ~ 6 Months ago i was 223 pounds. currently 145

plain greek yogurt - a packet of any flavor crystal light - ice --- makes a great low cal smoothie

bump

I drink at least 3 cups of hot green tea a day -- nothing added. I am not sure if it helps -- but it tastes good!

2 or 3 days -- but sometimes i find that my keto sticks show no keytones but i know i am in ketosis. depends on how active i am, the time of day i test, and my water intake. good luck to you.

exactly this ~ fight for your son. bring it right to the board if you cannot resolve it through the school i have a 7th grader -- and did just that. put it out in the community and appealed the decision after the initial appeals board denied my appeal. fought until i won and charges were dropped. we as tax payers pay thier…

yes and i can guarantee i will gain it back if i go back to eating the way i use to -- just as anyone counting calories will gain it back once they stop counting and start eating crap again. that goes for any diet -- however you lose it.

i have had low carb success -- been doing it since Nov 1 and have lost 77 pounds in six months

congrats on your loss and wishing u much success!

Thanks everyone ~ i am just one pound away from a "normal" BMI. I haven't been normal in 18 years!

Great post - I am about to start c25k. You inspired me : )

It's a new day - wishing u great success! Commit and succeed!

Sent u a friend request so u can see my diary and profile.

Following the 17 day diet - u can google it for info (book available on amazon) Basically healthy eating - no added sugars, no processed foods, probiotic yogurt, chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, low sugar fruit And lots of veggies.

Yes it is definitely just about healthy eating. I have never felt so good! Wishing u success!!

Thanks At this point I am just basically getting carbs from vegetables and fruit so it is really low. I don't eat any bread or pasta or anything. When I lose a bit more I will start slowly adding oatmeal or sweet potatoes back in. I will go thru the cycles again and stay on maintenance.

I have been doing now a mix of cycle 1 with some foods from c2 and c3. C1 keeps me in ketosis and after I get closer the 120s I will go thru the cycles again and maintain. Wishing u success!

i am 5'4" i am just at 146 now and want to get down between 125 - 130

not even sure of my numbers with carbs - just get them from vegetables and fruits mostly. but probably 20 - 30 net a day

thanks -- i am following The 17 Day Diet

I have had great results on 17 Day Diet -- i started Nov 1st and in just under 6 months i have lost 75 pounds. I use to eat chobani yogurt with the fruit but have recently stopped and now just buy the plain greek yogurt because of the carb and sugar in the fruit kind. i add strawberries to it or use it to make smoothies

[/quote] Just curious.....but if you have no energy why not eat some carbs...Several studiies have shown there is no long term difference in fat loss between low carb/high carb diets in healthy individuals? The loss up from in low carb diets is due to decreased fluid retention/glycogen.... [/quote] Yep, I've lost 175lbs of…

: ) sent u a friend request!

this is so true -- i spent 18 years obese before i did something about it. dont let that happen to you. i am 43 and really feel better than i have since 1995 you can do this!
