Thanks! I woke up today 2lbs heavier and since I was only 3 lbs down from where I was two weeks ago when I lowered my carbs to be 30 grams daily, this took my wins away. I too ate salt yesterday. Back bacon roast, regular bacon and some cheese sauce on my cauli. Sigh. I am just drinking copious amounts of water. But you…

Standing in one spot for a job is so very hard. North America is about the only place that cashers stand. England, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, they sit. Make sure you have good thick soft rubber under you. You are doing well at keeping the trend going down. I know it seems so slow but remember, at our age, the trend…

Some not so good strawberries in our area at the moment. Tooooo much rain, everything is late and not well developed. Maybe later summer will be better. Treadmill is good. Glad to hear you are still holding with weight. Good stuff.

I have been up and down this week. Started the week at 169 Now 168 So I lb loss but I seem to be see sawing with the same few lbs again. Gayle, I am waiting for the Ketogenic Mediterranean book from my library. It is a long weight but I am interested in their version. I always feel better with more fat and protein in my…

Thanks! I am going to look for them.

Hi Guys, Sorry wandered away for a bit. Good going on the weight loss you two. Gayle, over 5 lbs in a month; really good going and although it feels slow that is what keeps it off. A slow steady decline instead of fast weight loss that studies show comes back. And Beth, not far behind. Good work both of you. I have gained…

No problem at all! I had found it very useful and I am glad you did too. Got another one which has not much to do with diet (although it does go into mindful eating) but I have found it more than useful. It is free and you don't even have to sign up, give your email or anything. https://palousemindfulness.com/index.html

My first reaction @Aquawave was "Oh S..." I am so sorry. Very sobering indeed. I watched a program about stent or bypass. The bypass won. But if I were seeing a cardiologist, I would follow their advice after asking questions. Best wishes for a good outcome for you both.

1.5 lbs a week? That is what I am looking for! Don't get discouraged. I am losing about 10-12lbs a YEAR and my doctor is pleased. I am older, have to lose about 20 more but at my age, most people gain so losing is a win. Trying to see it that way. Being discouraged is one thing but being disgusted is quite another. I would…

And then there is me. I decided that I would try my Dash diet again. Only 1 day, but 1 lb up. so 169 lbs my pre holiday 162 seems so far away.

I too stay the same at 168. It is so blessedly slow. But I am staying the course. Reminder to self. No cheese, no nuts. Usually gives me a boost. Have a good week!

Hi Beth, Sorry to hear about your back. You are right; it affects everything. I hope you get relief soon. I was down this week but of course Friday morning up. Sigh. 168 today Still working my way down. It is so slow. Have a good week.

This group is great. : https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

Hi Ladies, Yes, have been watching the US situation and in my opinion, being female appears to be "a pre-existing condition"! (Shush, we are not talking politics.) I did the AC control thing and electric company in the last house but this one, we have an air sourced heat pump for heat, and we do not use it for air…

@varia2u Lots of people cutting carbs and sugar and many of them diabetic over at: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

I will look for you on fb Gayle. My goal for this week, I cannot get further than that is to eat on plan and walk. I went today for a short walk in the rain. It helped although our road is not covered with a large puddle. They are calling for snow here! And, we are under flood warning, not watch but warning. The lake just…

I would wait until the re-test from the corrected machine is available. Not that testing your BG isn't a good idea to know where you are but it does sound as if everything else is in line and the A1C result is, admitted, wrong. As someone said it is the strips and lancets that cost and if you are fine and it was a machine…

When I go very low carb - I have exactly the same symptoms. I have had help from the doc twice but raising my carb levels - not starch or sugars - make the symptoms disappear. After over 2 years of eating lower carbs and very slow weight loss, I am trying again. So far, 3 weeks, so good. My A1C is good and I have been…

There are lots and lots of friendly supportive low carbers over at: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group good resources, advice and recipes as well as support. the keto flu isn't necessary at all. You need salt.

I am sticking to 30g carbs or under and I have been doing that for more than a week. Started as a experiment what with meatavore May going on. I usually eat a lot of veggies but the weight has not shifted in some time and I needed a reset. It is working. Meditation was one of my goals and I am struggling. But I have taken…

Hey, politics ain't worth it. All you can do is vote and then letter write. I know, I don't live in the states but we are really, really influenced by it, including my retirement savings which I live on! And I cannot vote there or letter write! (PS No politics on mfp or you get throw out if someone finds out.) Focus,…

It just isn't linear, is it?

I found this explanation very helpful. Particularly explaining how high trigs and low HDL produce more VLDL and then they react with blood sugar to cause plaques. And how statins specific use is to clear VLDL. Also, the trigs number to stay under. 1.1 (in Oz and Canadian terms) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyzPEii-wo0
