You have a choice for fuel -- carbs (glucose) or ketones (fat). Exactly. Low carbs will make your body burn fat for fuel instead of the carbs.

I'm 58 and have over 50lbs. I would like to lose. I am doing Atkins, and so far doing pretty well. It's slow, but at least the scales are moving in the right direction. I look at this as a lifestyle change not a diet, so I have the time to lose the weight and get healthy. Would welcome more friends to give and receive…

Up your fats and protein and back way down on the carbs...just my opinion and what works for me. We are all different. But all those carbs, especially coming from processed foods are not good for you

Would love to have some friends for support and motivation too. I am doing Atkins, which is almost the same as Keto. Started in Jan. The scale is moving slowly, but at least it's moving in the right direction.

I love Zumba. I am sooooo not coordinated. So I'm glad I got Zumba for my Wii. No one to see me....lol. By the time I went to a class I had alot of the basic moves down, so I didn't feel so self-conscience. But I quit going cause I really didn't care for the instructor. I got a more intense workout with the Wii. So, I…

Between dinner and bed time. I'm a nite owl. Not usually in bed til around 1am. I will have a snack, but sometimes I want to eat more than I should. And I know it's mostly boredom not hunger. And hubby is a truck driver so only home every other weekend and I have a hard time then too.

Psycho for sure

I have a pair of New Balance that are great. The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Don't think I will ever buy another brand. I normally wear wide width due to a bunion on one foot and problems with corns on the other. But my New balance are regular width and don't hurt my feet at all.

Hi, and welcome! The site is great. Keeping track of everything you eat helps so much. And the people here are very nice and supportive. A great place to start the New Year if you are wanting to lose weight and need support and motivation.

If you don't mind having an *old lady* as a friend, feel free to add me. I am on every day and try to be supportive to my friends.

Red Lobster. My fav. That's where I'm going for my Birthday next week

I know what you mean. What I hate is when I go over a little on carbs, but when I minus the fiber then I am really not over.

Mine is Dec. 11th too. My Hubby is a truck driver so he won't be home to celebrate with me. So we will probably wait til the weekend. Not gonna go wild but probably go out to dinner at Red Lobster and I'm going to eat anything I want just for that one meal

I do the flavored ground coffee then use half and half, so I still get that yummy flavor. You can also sprinkle some ground cinnamon in your coffee grounds before brewing to give your coffee a cinnamon flavor
