Caps!

Wonderful job! You look so much better!

You look beautiful. Congratulations.

I wear a fitbit (a pedometer) all day so I suppose in a way I am logging food prep, laundry and...yikes...even walking to the bathroom. Oh well. I exercise too and make sure I get 12,000 steps a day. Debbie

Same to you! How many times are you aiming to go per week. I'm shooting for 3 because I have a couple of other exercise classes I go to during the week too.

I love it too. And it's not intimidating. I can jump on the treadmill or bike at a regular gym but I always shy away from the weight machines because I don't know what I'm doing. I'm so glad I'm finally adding some resistance training with Curves. Can't wait for spring so I can start walking outside more too.

Sabrina: My daughter and I joined last week and we're loving it. The people there are so nice - it's a great workout. And we can catch up while we do the circuit. Debbie

Hi lady: I just joined too (about 10 days ago). So far it's been great. I feel like it's making a difference.

Maremare: Tried your mushroom soup for lunch today. It was fantastic and filling. Loved it. thanks, Debbie

This sounds absolutely delicious. I'm trying it tomorrow if I can get to the grocery store. Thanks!

Praxis Project: What is the difference between nutritional ketosis and regular ketosis? Has Jimmy Moore revealed his menu yet? I'm not sure I could stand that much fat with that little proteins and carbs (taste wise). thanks Debbie

For the most part I added sweet potato, white rice, rice crackers and even a tiny bit of oatmeal. I didn't add more fruit in because the safe starch guy (Paul Jaminet) said the issue is caused by low glucose, not low fructose). It is a struggle. Yesterday I was a little under in carbs (40 net) and my eyes are killing me…

You look beautiful! Keep it up.

I'm going through the same thing - especially with the dry eyes. I've had to up my carbs quite a bit - I'm eating between 70 and 80 a day - around 60 net. I'm still losing weight though and at about the same rate as before. I'm definitely hungrier though. Higher carbs really affect my appetite.

Hi GoJo!

Thanks everyone. I'm going to try them again over the weekend - hopefully with better results.

Thanks. Will try that!

thanks katastic!!

Just finished your story. Amazing. Congratulations.

Right. And don't be afraid to change things up a bit if you aren't losing. I was basically eating nothing until noon or one on most days and I didn't lose anything for a couple of weeks. I'm just not that hungry in the mornings. Anyways I finally decided to change things up and started eating breakfast. Also added a snack…

Hi: I'm 53 with terrible knees and it's true I can't exercise like I used to. Meaning I can't jog, do aerobics that require any jumping around - heck sometimes I can't even walk except at a crawl. But I can be active. I change up my exercises to give my joints a break - some days I I swim, some days I do water aerobics,…

Wonderful story! You are an inspiration. Congratulations.

You look great! Congratulations.

Yeah. Me too. And I thought the opposite was going to happen because long term dieting is usually so stressful. I have much less hair falling out than before (and that was a real problem for me). Haven't noticed much in the nails but the other thing I noticed was my teeth. They were always so sensitive. Since I started…

Also plenty of veggies.

I eat primal for the most part and I don't really worry about fiber because I'm eating so many vegetables - especially the green leafy ones. I pretty sure I'm eating way more fiber than I was before I started eating primal even without all the grains.

You look beautiful!

I really wish it were though. So much easier! Just need a pin number and some walking shoes and I'd be good to go :)

I'm curious about this too. I keep meaning to try adding this and broth but I keep putting it off.

Hi Mstorvik: I had to add a little bit of rice and sweet potato back in too because of terribly dry eyes. I'm just doing half servings for now (quarter cup rice etc.) It has helped a lot with the dry eyes but I am nervous it's going to slow my weight loss. If it slows me down too much I might try to up the carbs every…
