Here is my track record Aug - lost 5 lbs Sept - lost 1 lb Oct - lost 1 lb Nov - lost 1 lb Dec - gained 3 lb Jan - lost 3 lb net - 8 lb loss Hoping to lose 7-15 more This may seem slow but considering that prior to this I was gaining 5 lbs per year, it seems awesome!!!

I found skinny chocolate in there as well as the chocolate muffin in a mug.

I am 4 weeks in so still pretty new.

I personally just use mfp to help me see if my meal is E, S or FP because I am new to THM. I also do look at my total calories just to see where THM tends to land me.

I have been doing THM for about 4 weeks. I had about 15-20 lbs to lose. I lost 5 right away and then plateaued. Looking for encouragement. I am 47 and about to become an "Empty nester" as my two kids both head to college this fall. I work as an educator and volunteer a lot so I am trying to figure out THM for the busy…

No official diagnosis of ibs but years of digestive issues, here. I eat fermented foods (Saurkraut, kimchi, Braggs unpasteurized apple cider).

When we think about, smell, or slightly taste foods, our brains trigger what is called…

I do make pasta for my 18 year old son and spagetti squash "noodles" for hubby and I. Pizza on the other hand has been replaced with a big disk of hamburger dressed with tons of veggie pizza toppings and cheese. My son had no issues with that!I had been gluten free for years and so was used to cooking two alternatives. LC…

Interested in hearing details :-)

Actually, once I get past the flu part, low carbing makes me feel great! No more blood sugar fluctuations, no more cravings, sleep better, more energy. It seems a good fit for me.

Interesting! I am taking magnesium but not sodium. in fact I was thinking that our lower sodium intake was good for hubby's blood pressure. I, on the other hand, have low blood pressure and love salty foods so, I will indulge myself :-)

1.5 cups frozen berries, I can full fat coconut milk .75 cup sugar .... blend in a food processor .... freeze .....sooo good ....not truly plaeo thought due to the sugar.

Lately I crave sardines a lot :-P

What if I crave sardines?

According to the chart, I would be a introverted but not socially inept geek. Then again posting here might push me into the nerd category :-)
