I did induction for 9 months..... 25 carbs or less a day and actual carbs not net carbs. I never had that problem though... I felt fantastic doing it... and I only quit due to financial reasons.... But low carb isn't meant to be a crash diet... So I'm not sure why it would only be done for 23 days and abandoned... Because…

I have a friend that lifts (and other training) and she's only lost about 20 pounds but went from a size 24 to an 8/10.... It is amazing at transforming the body. So I wouldn't be surprised if you had actually not lost that much. You look great.

I say try it and see .. Everyone is different. I absolutely can't do the bars or shakes or candies or even the Atkins frozen meals because they all stall me. I also don't eat anything with sugar alcohols.

Some days I just CANT eat anymore... And I really don't feel like I should force myself to eat when I'm not hungry.. So I'm under my "goal" by quite a lot... I think as long as it's not every day it won't hurt you...

3.3 today which puts me at 33.3 total now! 1.7 to go! I should be able to get that tomorrow!

I am keeping mine at 25 or less... And i will for a long time....I DO look at net carbs BUT I don't really count them only fiber counts but I never ever eat sugar alcohols.... I especially don't eat any of the Atkins products.... No bars or shakes or microwave dinners... I don't lose on them. I also have to limit my cheese…

I did Atkins a few years back and had to stop due to a bunch of personal drama going on BUT I started on the 4th of July and by December 1st I had lost 89 pounds. But I had SO much to lose that I stayed in induction.... I am back at it now for about a week now but I vowed to not weigh again until April 1st so I don't know…

I log in everyday and check in and "chat" in the comments. I always welcome new friends.

Celery with cream cheese and a TINY bit of garlic salt on top is AMAZING.

As of today I am 30 miles right on the nose! 5 miles go go!

I did before..I lost 89 pounds and didn't really work out.... I only went From a 22 to an 18 in pants if it was a loose 18 ...but from an xxl shirt to a s/m shirt..... And from a C cup bra to an A cup bra and down a size in shoes..... This time ive lost 35 pounds and been working out and have gone from a 24 to a 20 in…

But I do set "mini" goals along the way to keep me motivated and from obsessing over the big number and getting discouraged../ Such as get in the 250s and then 240s and then 230s... So on and so in...... This month I set an 8 pound goal. We shall see if I made it on April 1st

Well.... My first goal is to get under 200. And then after that it's a small goal to 188 which will put me at the smallest I've been in my adult life (I lost down to 189 about 5 years ago) Then I will go from there. Ultimately I'm thinking around 160.... My goal wasn't necessarily to get skinny... More to get healthy and…

I don't see how those two are related? I'm doing low carb AND working out..... I'm not doing it because I'm lazy and don't want to do the work... I'm doing it for a medical condition... And my cousins wife does paleo and has her personal trainer certification and is in the gym almost every day.... Cabbage soup diet... Yeah…

I did it in high school and lost a lot of weight quickly but Gained it back quickly and that was pretty much only because after the first three days or so I could NOT stomach any more of that soup so I just didn't eat..... Also to this day if there is even cabbage in any kind of soup I get so nauseous that I lose my…

I have tons of male friends IRL and even male friends on here and I'm married.... How terrible of me.. I didn't realize you couldn't have male friends if you were married..... *sigh* I did have one half naked man with a picture showing everything but his manly bits send me a message and try to friend me BUT he also told me…

I drink green tea because I like it.. But not for weight loss...... And I use sweet n low and it never causes any loss problems.. So I imagine Splenda wouldn't either..... I also drink cucumber water and lemon water because I like it... But also it doesn't do a thing for weight loss. As far as coffee.. I did have to stop…

Until you want to do it no one can make you do it....... You heard running is bad so you won't do it. You are uncoordinated so that takes out most instructional exercises..... I am THE most uncoordinated person on the planet and other than when I was sick this weekend I workout or walk every day ... I have stress fractures…

I get these and they are miserable and nothing helps other than compression... I tried stretching and icing and soaking and having my husband pop my toes because they constantly feel jammed even when they aren't. But mine are small stress fractures. It's hard on knees being over weight but it's also hard on your feet.... I…

I would assume that if you weighed it then there isn't a need to guess it's not what it weighed at.... If I weigh something and it says a pound I'm going to call it a pound. No need to second guess or you will stress yourself and go nuts.

I would just experiment a little and see what makes a difference... I know for me personally I have to watch my cheese intake sometimes because it causes me to not lose... And I can't eat any of the bars or Atkins products or I don't lose... As well as any sugar free or bread substitutes. I have to be super careful with…

I am for 25 or less a day ... I had great success on it before and lost 89 pounds and the ONLY reason i stopped was because I was put on a medication while STILL doing Atkins and gained over 30lbs in 2 months.... Fought and fought with my doctor and finally just stopped it and soon thereafter my fiancé at the time left me…

I've got low cal boards and low carb boards and fitness and inspiration boards... It helps keep me on track

I am a MAJOR Pinterest addict! I am nearing 10,000 pins and that's AFTER I just deleted my desserts board and some other random boards. Buy I've always been like that... Although if I'm not careful it makes me WANT to binge!

You can do it! I am 5'5" and started out at 298!! I am now 263 (last I weighed on March 1st). I want to get to probably around 160... My first goal is 198 to 100 pounds lost. I am bipolar and suffer from depression and SEVERE anxiety as well...I know what it's like to want to give up some days... It gets hard but it's so…

I got some at walmart that I love that stay put and were around around 12 dollars. Everything else I have either falls down or rolls down and drives me nuts!! They are called Danskin... They are a slippery material but not like spandex.

I was reading and couldn't see but maybe I missed it..... Is the pain more right below your ribs or more lower abdomen around belly button level or lower?

I weighed on March 1st and put the scale away until April 1st.... I was the same way... If weight everyday and get so depressed and discouraged if the scale was up or didn't say what I wanted it to say.... I'd think what's the point...... But my body is changing shape and my clothes are looser.. So I decided to not weight…

I keep my carbs at 25 or less... It works for me and helps with the very low energy levels I have along with pcos.... I started doing low GI back In September and I've lost 35 pounds since then... I switched back to low carb last week and feel so much better... I am not weighing again until April first but am very curious…

Congratutions!! That is great!
