I just got done using string cheese as my dipping mechanism. lol

I've lost back fat and stomach fat (core areas) and now my upper back is in agony. My back NEVER hurt until now. Too much weight up top. Maybe my boobs will shrink last. lol

I will post something that I find odd. I am 5'6. Started at 231lbs. My bra size was a 40DDD. I'm 165lbs and my bra size is a 38DDD. My boobs haven't shrunk.

That was a great read!

How much are these types of scales?

How does a scale measure all those stats just by your weight?

I know there are a lot of people out there that have discipline and can go through life doing low carbs day in and day out. Whether you call it a "cheat" or "plan" or "vacation"--the hardest part will be getting back on track. As long as you have the discipline to get yourself back on track and go through "Missing carbs"…

OMG...If I cut out dairy I would lose 75% of my daily calories.

I think the worst part of that 4-day binge is dealing with the aftermath cravings. When I don't eat carbs I don't crave them anymore. When I eat them I want to stuff my darn face. I want back to the place where my body isn't torturing me with cravings! Ugh!!!!!

You guys make me smile :) Thank you!

Haha...I am a Husker fan, but I'm a HUGE fan of Vandy! Must be my time spent in Nashville. GO DORES!!!!! This weekend the beer and bad food choices surrounding me DEFINITELY beat me!

I was a sweet fanatic. I knew the daily rotation of cupcakes at each bakery in town. I lived off of carbs. I was able to lose a good chunk of weight by CICO. Then it stopped falling off and I was still controlled by sugar. I started LCHF May 4th and this is no lie, by the end of May I could care less about sweets. The only…

I would rather have diarrhea than constipation. This sucks! lol

My body was reacting that way for the first 3 or 4 weeks. Now, I'm having trouble going at all. I'm back to where I was prior to LCHF and having to take a laxative after a week of no bathroom. :(

I'm on Metformin for Insulin Resistance (PCOS). What are you referring to with Metformin responding poorly. I'm curious, because my body is all over the place.

Can you imagine if guys had mood swings?

Well...this WOE has probably had an impact on me. Or, I'm getting to that midlife time (just turned 39). It was almost 2 weeks late and was somewhat heavy for 2 days and then spotting for the rest. Just plain weird.

I don't share my personal business on social media sites like Facebook/instagram/twitter. I don't gossip with family/friends about my relationship. Sure, I may talk about private things on here (to an extent), but I don't know anyone on this site personally. I honestly just wanted to know if people have been treated…

I wasn't starting this thread to bash him though. I was just dumbfounded when my weightloss was thrown at me like it was a negative thing I'm doing to hurt him and/or our relationship.

He will say "I want to quit drinking". "I want to exercise". "I want to lose weight". etc. His actions NEVER EVER match his words. I remember a time last April. We had a birthday party for one of his friends and he told me the entire drive there "We are not drinking. Under no circumstances do you let me drink. We will…

He is a narcissist. He can only say nice things about himself. Never compliments me. Never shows affection. Never touches me. For the longest time (and one of the many reasons I started weightloss) is because of how I saw myself through his eyes. I felt ugly and unlovable. Once I started losing weight I did change how I…

When I was doing CICO and eating A LOT of fiber I couldn't even go the bathroom once a week without taking a heavy duty laxative. Now I hardly eat any fiber and I'm the most regular I have EVER been.

I usually go with "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all" when it comes to replies to Facebook posts. Between what she said and an argument I had with someone about weightloss--it just frustrated me. Nobody and No body are the same.

I have TONS of lose skin around my mid section. I read the only way to fix it is to tighten the ab muscles with surgery. I'm saving up for it! As far as my boobs--when I started almost 2yrs ago I was 231lbs and a 40DDD. Today I am 163lbs and a 38DD (almost a DDD). For some reason, my boobs are shrinking at a snail's pace…

Thank you everyone!

I started at 182.4lbs. I'm at 162.2lbs. Is it possible it's mostly water weight lost? I'm just in awe that I dropped 20lbs in a month. For a healthy bmi I need to be at 154lbs, so I'm even close to goal. (I started CICO back in August 2013. I was 231lbs.)

I'm a vodka/soda gal. I have drank twice while doing lchf--both times I woke up in the middle of the night and vomited. Prior to LCHF I could drink all night and get trashed and the next day be hungover--no vomitting. I feel like my body doesn't know how to process alcohol now.

I guess I was saying it isn't a lifestyle, because I do love fruits and vegetables. I mean, I'm from Nebraska where corn is everything. Nothing better than steak, corn on the cob, and watermelon in the summer time. I guess I never really thought that "fruit" or "vegetables" are now going to be considered a "cheat" for me.…

This is a lot of great information. I am a sugar addict and going lchf has been the best decision of my life. I finally understand what it means to eat until you are satisfied INSTEAD of full. Like most on here I'm concerned with blood work in the long scheme of things. At 39 I'm no longer someone that can afford to create…
