  • One thing to remember is that even one high carb meal can knock you right out of ketosis. You may still be eating a low carb meal plan after that but it will take time for your body to get back into ketosis. If you are doing that every week you probably aren't in ketosis any more. (I have ever used the sticks to see if I…
  • Keto is the only diet - the ONLY diet I have ever been able to stick to and the ONLY diet that has ever worked for me. I love it! I do not follow this plan as listed above, I do Atkins / Optimal Ketogenic Plan and it has been great! I never feel hungry because the fats and proteins keep me satisfied and that keeps the…
  • I definitely feel that way. I have always said that my addiction here on earth is not drugs or alcohol - it is food.

  • I am certainly willing to give it a try! I have no idea that Conference is just 10 weeks away - what a fun way to set a goal date. :)
  • I started one month ago yesterday and I have lost 11 pounds. I lost a lot of it the first week and it has really slowed down since then but I am in this for the long haul - not giving up!
  • I am struggling to keep going but I am still trying. never quit right? Feel free to add me.
  • I am 5 years out and have had a 50 pound regain due to my poor eating habits and lack of exercise. I am faithful with my vitamins and labs as well as my protein drinks which has been my saving grace. I am a very healthy obese person! I never got down to goal; I went from 310 to 195 and now I am back up to 245. My local…
  • I had the LapBand for 2 years. At first it was wonderful! I loved being able to slowly lose weight without any malabsorption issues and I knew that I was losing at a healthy rate. But in the end, my body sort of rejected the band... It seemed like every time my band got to a level of fill that was tight enough to help me…

  • My heart aches when I hear of the problems people have because they did NOT take their vitamins! Most people just don't understand the importance of it. :( I am 4 years out and take: calcium-magnesium-zinc, B-12 sublingual, C, Iron, A, B complex, E, B1, Zinc, Dry D3, K, Coromega and others depending on my lab results. And…
  • I am probably going to be very unpopular for saying this but no one NEEDS caffeine! It is an addiction just like alcohol, ciggies or food. We are here trying to break our addiction from food and caffeine is another one that needs to be broken. It is not healthy for us and should be avoided at all costs. I know it is hard…

  • I had to have my band removed because I couldn't maintain a tight enough fill to lose weight without my stomach swelling up so I couldn't even swallow water. However, while I had it, I could not eat breads or pastas unless they were chewed very well. The only things that REALLY gave me constant trouble was pork and…
  • I am just jumping in here to say hello. Today is my first day here and I am hoping it will help. I had the LapBand in 2005 then had it removed and the RNY done in 2008. I lost a total of 115 pounds but have gained 45 back. I am ready to get back down to that 115 pound loss as I was feeling sooo good even though I was not…
