I tried it also. 20 carbs per day. I lost 10 lbs fairly quickly and then slowly started gaining it back. I truly think I was eating fewer calories at first and then later ate too many while still staying under 20 carbs. For me, I need to focus on calories and portions.

I haven't had alcohol since Oct 15 and not planning on it til Thanksgiving Day. I needed to jump start, I had been eating and drinking and gaining weight. Literally, too big for my britches! Lol

I would make a pot of pinto beans or 15 bean soup with it. In the crock pot for a long slow cook.

Your family is abusive. Who would tell a young girl she is too fat for ballet and needs to become a sumo wrestler? Who would tell anyone "ewwww, you look awful"? You have image issues because of them. I would have limited communication with them if any at all. They are not good for you, family or not. With that being said,…

Noticeably trimmer and definitely more toned. Great job!

Congratulations! You must feel great!

Learn to take a compliment, as I'm sure you will be getting many more. Just say "thank you". You look great and it's definitely noticeable.

Congratulations on achieving a healthier and happier you. You should be very proud of your accomplishments.
