Great job Barb!!! I’ve been down with back pain since last August. I’ve gained 32 pounds back and have undergone all the non surgical avenues for treatment of sciatica to no avail. Surgery soon. I just started back on my eating plan this week and am down 6.2 pounds. I’m doing Atkins. You’ve got the rest of this! I believe…

It takes me three days to reach ketosis. You must be strict and remember to eat fat!

Good morning ☀️ I’m new to this thread and just wanted to say hi 👋. My name is Ehren and mfp username is strgzrlily. I’m 51, live in central Florida and have 65 pounds to lose.

I'm the queen of emotional eating! The past year has been the most stressful of my life but I've managed to lose 70 pounds. The thing that helped me to avoid binging on cupcakes (my drug of choice), I eliminated most sugars from my diet and got an hour of cardio a day. The cardio (done with my favorite tunes blasting from…

This is good and I agree. I have no desire to debate whether or not low carb is healthy or right for anyone but myself. I've been on Atkins since October of last year and have had wonderful success and feel better than I ever have. My blood work was done recently and my numbers are great! I've lost 68 pounds by eating low…

I've been doing Atkins for five months now and I eat bacon and egss for one meal almost every day. I have lost 50 pounds and have 23 more to go. My blood work is all better presently than it was last fall. I work out at the gym regularly and my heart is in much better shape. IMHO, bacon and eggs ROCK!

Hi, for me, it's not just the calories. It's what kind of calories I'm eating and when. I'm a low carber, so I pay more attention to those than calories but I do monitor them to keep myself in check. What kinds of foods are you eating? Perhaps you should add some kind of exercise. I work in a production department at a…

It's nice to meet you, and welcome! I found MFP through searching the apps on my itouch. I love it. You can do anything you set your mind to you just have to want it bad enough to overcome old bad habits. Make a plan, make it realistic, stick to it and you'll get there. Sounds like you need an exercise program, walking is…

Hello and welcome. I think most women can relate to your story, gaining weight after marriage and babies. You can get there, just make a plan and log your meals, exercise, drink water and it will happen. Are you using a specific diet plan? I do better when I have rules to follow. I have MFP on my itouch and it goes…

Welcome Mary! I also had to take a second look, thought you'd posted a picture of a grand-daughter! Myfitnesspal is my favorite tool. It goes everywhere with me on my itouch. I love the food scanning feature, it makes logging foods so much faster and easier. You can do it! One step at a time, you'll get there!

Net carbs are calculated by subtracting the fiber from the Carbs leaving a net carb count. In the Advantedge bars they also subtract the sugar alcohols as they claim they do not have a profoound impact on the blood sugar. I'm on Atkins and do not use any of the convenience products because they send me out of Ketosis and…
