Just wanted to add, I find that I can't stay in ketosis unless I keep my net carbs under 20g per day. Even going to 25 or 30g will knock me off the path, and I get the ketoflu for a good 5 days so I have to be ultra careful. This diet really gives me energy. I'm alert and awake... but I'm also sleeping better at night!!

I know I certainly felt better doing both low carb and low gi, but regardless of how I ate the only noticeable difference came through a lot of cardio. If I wasn't jogging or running for an hour+, at least 3x per week, the weight would just stick.

I had a lot of luck with the Dukan diet, which is very similar, only the Dukan diet allows only meat in its first "attack" phase. I followed that for about 6 weeks (two different phases) and I lost just shy of 20lbs. I'm doing Atkins this time around because veggies make me happy! Though having done low-carb before, I know…

I'm Christen. 21, 5'3", started at 195lbs and now at 155lbs. I am super interested! :)

1. My 17 year old sister (4 years my junior). No matter what happens and no matter what I do, a hug from her makes everything okay. 2. Playing with my sweet-tempered dog, a fantastic border collie. 3. My boyfriend, who is also my best friend. 4. Sitting at my city's waterfront (marina) at Lake Erie and just listening to…

@Tara: you look insanely surprised. @cochico you look angry! Lol

Wow pinup, we are almost exactly the same! Haha

no one? D:

Don't have one yet because I haven't been able to commit to the permanency! My boyfriend has three and they look really really good on him. He has his last name and the flags of his heritages on his back, and a large memorial tattoo (name, life dates, and some small swirls) that takes up his entire left forearm. They look…

Hm. I'm pretty self-conflicted with this. On one hand, I'm not sure how to separate spirituality from religion- I am irreligious and personally do not believe in deities or other supernatural beings (though I completely accept that others do!) :) But, I have seen and felt some things that I can't explain rationally as…

I used to love Fruity Pebbles. Ungh, they're still really good. But... really bad for you so I haven't eaten them in months XD They're not "meh", now... still delicious... I simply don't crave them.

You can have some of mine. I went from a 36C to a 36D while losing 40lbs. I wouldn't mind having B's. take two cups! lol

retriev00 last pic, i like your shoulders :)

@lcantrell13: your glasses are super cute!

Thanks to this thread I posted, I got to know so many awesome nerds <3

@beyond_beauty87- you have the most gorgeous eyes and cheekbones! 24-26?

Hmm, now that I think about it, lowering my carb intake sort of has a correlation with my panic attacks decreasing. Maybe give it a try?

also from Super Troopers: and

cold green beans (from steamed and works GREAT from canned) and peanuts or almonds. also verrrrrry tasty with balsamic dressing on it. :3

As of the middle of September 2011, I was 195lbs, 5'3", BMI 34.5. Now during my weightloss: 156lbs, 5'3", BMI 27.6 :) Goal: 135lbs, 5'3", with good muscles.

oh no oh no oh no. I found my picture from my "highest weight" on my Mom's computer- I never would have stored it on my own! photo from my tumblr, feel free to follow if you have one.

I'm between Chile and Venezuela. I'd like to see average height tables. Average BMI and caloric intake tables. separated by gender, too :3

Hmm. to me, sexy is when my boyfriend remembers something I said weeks or months ago. sexy is when he sings loudly and out of tune in the car with me. sexy is when he holds my hand in front of his family and buds. or maybe it's just him.

Ok, well my measurements: 39-31-39 So I guess I'm an hourglass technically. except for my tummy, LOWER than my waist, above my hips (obviously) is also 39. I am a weird shape. Meh....

I went from a 38C to a 36D, and I'm not at all saggy or anything, so not everyone loses their girls :)

I suffer from cluster headaches (also known as suicide headaches because of the severity of the pain). Much more severe than migraines, sometimes people will cry or yell or in severe cases, tap their head against walls or furniture to distract themselves, but again, everyone tolerates pain differently. Generally, the pain…

@Danger, you are super handsome and from your pics seem like a fun person to be around. That's like, two 10's. haha
