  • I did it!!! It was brutal!!! But I think I can make it through!! I may have to do this week over again but that's ok with me. I will see when I make it to week 4!!!! ~~~~shudders from fear~~~~
  • I feel the same way!!! I thought it was just me. I feel so bloated and sluggish when I eat too many carbs. Its nice to know that some one else feels that way and its not just in my head!
  • I agree with everything!!! I am on a low carb diet because of health issues but I have also done research. You really should do some research and find out what it is all about. I love the low carb lifestyle and will NEVER go back to high carb and over processed foods. I feel sooooooo much better. :) It is worth looking…
  • I'm so glad that you guys will be doing week 3 with me!!! That helps me keep motivated!! Please come back and post how you are doing and i will too!!! You guys are the best!!! Thanks everyone!!
  • Thanks guys!!! :) I will let you know how it goes. :)
  • I have PCOS and it is a pain!! Seems like after I turned 25 I started gaining for no reason. I've tried all kinds of meds and nothing helped. I am on Victoza shot now and it helps for now. :) The only way I lose weight is to eat low carb. That is not always easy.
  • I have hypothyroidism and I agree with this!!! I have the hardest time losing the weight. The only thing that has helped me are the meds and a low carb diet. Everyone is different and you will find what works for you. Hang in there! It is worth it. :)
  • That is what I'm doing right now but I see others who run every day. My doctor recommends that I run one day then strength train the next. That lets recovery happen. I would like to know the advice too.
  • Wow!! Everyone looks fantastic!! You inspire me!
  • I felt this the first time through the program. I got a knee brace from my doctor and it helped me get through. It got better and now I don't have that problem. The muscles around my knee got stronger my doctor said. :) Hope that helps. Knee pain is worth checking out.

  • Thanks guys!!! It means a lot to me that you gave me advice!!! I did Day 1 of Week 1 yesterday!! It was easier than I thought it was going to be. :) I'm scared of the later weeks!!!
  • Thanks for the welcome!! :)
  • Thanks for the welcome!! :) Its a replacement for synthroid. I didn't realize how little it was working for me until I got Armor. I mean it helped some but Armor is soooo much better for me. I can even take a lower dose which makes me happy. I am a new woman. :)
  • I would make a trip to my doctor. I started doing the same thing. When I had a check up with my doctor, they said a constant hunger can be a sign of high insulin levels. We did blood work and it came back that I had metabolic syndrome and polycycstic ovarian syndrome. I'm so glad I did the blood work because with meds to…
  • I have the same problem. Insulin resistance because of metabolic syndrome and PCOS and this is the only way I can lose weight. I agree with you!!! There is nothing wrong with a low carb diet as long as you use better oils and get the right kinds of fat instead of the over processed stuff. Good Calories and Bad Calories is…
  • I just started week 3 and love it! I have Lupus and I'm doing the program so I can join in the Lupus walk/run this year!!! I have to be careful what exercises I do and I have no problems with this program. I downloaded an app for my phone that helps me keep everything straight. :)
