:-). Duh.

Well, my reasoning is (or was) to try to be as keto as possible for a month. I'm experimenting to find something that will work for me. I did weigh today and 2 lbs are gone. Who knows? I do take vitamin supplements. My son lost 100 pounds on the ketogenic diet and has kept it off for several years. I wanted to try it. I so…

I apologize for the confusion. It's not my first two weeks. I do eat a lot of processed food currently because I am 65 and hideously busy with the end of school (special ed teacher). The food will be much better when school is out and I am able to shop and cook more. Thanks for you input, though. Not sure I agree about the…

Huh?

LOL. I adore your personification of the scale. Well, I weighed this morning and I have lost 2 pounds. I am satisfied with that. I try to weigh about every 10 days. Thank you so much for your wonderful post!

Thank you for responding. I currently do eat a lot of restaurant and fast food. It's the end of school, I'm 65, and crazy busy. It will be better in the summer. I do have a digital scale and will use it. i will also be going to Central Market for clean food. TWO MORE WEEKS! Ready for the year to be finished. Again, thank…

I am a 65 year old special education teacher. I am relentlessly busy. As soon as school is out, I will be eating most meals at home. But in the meantime, by "perfect" I mean I have met the standards I set for myself which include not eating sugar and keeping my carbs below 30. I don't count calories. I have 100 pounds to…

My high calorie limit is because of my high weight.

I'm so sorry, it's not my first two weeks. It's my first two weeks without a loss of some sort. I apologize for not being clear. And I haven't lost my commitment at all. I was just a bit frustrated. Thank you for your response, though.

As a lifelong sugar addict, I can tell you to cold turkey it and eliminate all know sugar from your diet. After 4 days, you won't crave it at all. Add fat and protein. Good Luck.

The seat belt dinger.

I personally thought the article was great. I read it on Friday. I know my genetic makeup is responsible for much of my weight issues.

Bless your heart. How difficult this has been for you. As a 65 year old person, I want to tell you life is short. Very short. Don't waste any time. Please make a decision about your marriage as soon as possible. If you can't leave due to financial issues, then make a life apart from him...you're apart anyway. If that means…

Amen, Sista

I have been on WW before and I know what you're referring to, but I log EVERYTHING here. I also set my carbs, sugar, protein and fats the way I want it. I pay less attention to the calories. Good luck.

I apologize...I was the rude one. :-(

I wish there was a "like" button here.

I cannot get this right!

I certainly didn't mean to insult anyone. I am all for everyone doing what works. I just felt she was being attacked and I wanted to be supportive. And carbs are definitely my kyrptonite. I'm really so sorry I offended you. I really didn't mean you were a jerk. I wish you good luck, no matter what you choose as your…

Phyanne, What are your macros? Thanks, Jody

Thank you so much. I, too, needed to hear this.

I support you completely. I apologize for the jerks who feel the necessity to be mean. For me, carbs are poison. I stick with carbs in the form of vegetables and berries only. I also eat a few almonds, but they can get out of control for me if I eat too many. So essentially, I eat a lot of wild caught cold water fish, free…

I agree with you completely. Eating very low carb keeps me from having cravings. I eat to live when I curb the carbs. Adding many carbs at all, especially in the form of anything white, will set me off. I liken it to the way an alcoholic "goes off" with only one drink. That's me.

Wow! What an inspiration you are!

I also have lots to lose. Add me if you want. I am on daily.

Google it. It is from the book It Starts with Food. It's a bit primal, but with fruit. No dairy or grains at all.

I'm semi doing it right now, and I will start in earnest on Oct 1 with my daughter. I have been counting calories with MFP. Will you continue to count calories? I'd love to be part of a group if we can get one going.

Dearest Michael, We all understand your feelings here. There is a terrific book I'm reading called "It Starts with Food". You can find it on Amazon for about $12-15. If you aren't able to do that I will happily send it to you as soon as I finish it. You can private message me with your address. Please add me as your…
