I've lost 10.2 pounds in 6 days. I love the program.

I'm down 17 pounds in exactly 3 weeks. Ive done this before but never got my mind right. Now I know its forever and cheating isn't allowed ever...at least for me. too many addictions to tempt. I'm very happy for you and i can't wait to get to goal.

I heard a motivational speaker that rocked my world the other day...because I felt the same way for over 20 years. He said, if you haven't reached your goals, if you aren't living your dreams then you are viewing the sacrifices that are necessary to attain it as obstacles...not opportunities. When I hear people say it's…

i almost peed myself... lol

there's always at least one hater. I wonder if they would like me going into all their deficit posts and telling them they are doing it wrong. I've had more energy since i became Keto Adapted than i've had in years. My joint pain is almost completely gone. That is enough for me. So...its going great...Oh...and no drama!

Thanks everyone. Seems most are incorporating some type of cardio. I did 10 minutes after my workout was complete tonight. Appreciate all the input.

thanks! I have been going to the gym for a couple weeks now and using machines for weight training and doing cardio. I love lifting but hate cardio. I'll be doing workout A tonight.

you subtract fiber grams from the carb grams and that is your Net Carb Count. If you have 50 carbs and eat 10 grams of fiber, your net carb count for the day is 40.

ive seen some recipes for sweet roasted almonds on pinterest. like the ones you get at the fair and such? dont know why i can't think of what they are called. lol i think you would have to use art. sweetner tho.

THANK YOU. Best response to this entire thread. From someone with experience not just an "opinion". Either way its a choice, and it's hard. everyone has the right to choose how they are going to make a change. Either way is still better that doing nothing.

Oh...one more thing....we had an agreement that if she woke in the middle of the night she could come in our room and sleep on the floor...not in our bed. I dont know if your boyfriend would be comfortable with that or not...but it solved going thru the whole start the whole routine over at 4 am. I just kept telling…

I only read thru the first page of responses, but My daughter went thru something similar around that age after the loss of her grandfather. My husband (at the time) was very impatient and tried to be tough and make her "get over it" and that just wont work. we are talking pure terror inside here and if someone told you to…

i just upped my protien in my goals to 25%. I was doing 5/85/10...but just not getting enough protien.

But what IS your fat percentage goal? Mine is 80% and usually hit around 72-75% without trying--already using butter on everything and using Coconut oil etc, so I do kind of need something to push it over the edge.

I saw tons on Pinterest last night. I can't get on here at work to send you any links. they have the site blocked. but check it out. just search under "keto brownies"

drink a couple cups of broth...check for carb content...that usually does the trick

What beautiful babies!!!

my macros are 80/15/5

Did I read somewhere that some people just throw one of these in their morning coffee? That sounds awesome. I seriously am dying here waiting to get paid tomorrow...i've been thinking about these all week.

I'll be your friend!!! I have alot more to lose than you tho. congrats on the 30 you have lost... you will be there in no time.

I cannot WAIT until payday to get more coconut oil....

I would agree with this. There's no way I could go without my meds. Just making it through work and remembering to breathe would be too hard. This is a Medical Condition. It may get better with losing weight and exercising, but I would at least want to try something holistic and see a therapist if I was trying to do it…

Yes it counts. diet sodas dont count due to the caffeine which acts as a dieuretic. Some people have problems tho with the artificial sweeteners causing cravings. I am right with you on the water...i'm slowly learning to drink more. For every diet soda i have I force myself to drink 2 tall glasses of water afterwards and…

Back to the Low Carb Success Stories...as the OP asked for. Please keep them coming. geesh...dont see low carbers trolling anyone else's success story requests...People are so self righteous. stick with what works...stick with what you can maintain...

Grab yourself a copy of The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance by Dr's. Volek and Phinney. It specifically written for Athletic Performance on a LCHF diet

The negative thing about that show, is the competition part...you can lose 9 pounds in a "week" and be the one who lost the smallest amount of weight...and everyone is looking sad and shaking their head...and they ask them..."Bob...how does that make you feel?" putting them down for succeeding! or someone who worked their…

Are you sorry you asked now? LOL. I DIG short hair...and I think its HOT! i say #7

Did you really want the cookie? Next time find the best cookie available and eat a smaller size. enjoy it and log it and make it work.

I wish you had pics...cuz Im right now where you started and i'd love to know what 199 looks like... Congrats to you!

No...it doesn't depreciate it. Just because you dont have the addiction doesn't mean it isn't just as hard to give up fast food or another type of food as it is for someone struggling from drug and alcohol addiction. i've been addicted to fast food or types of food for many many years...and unless you've been inside my…
