I’m 53 and almost your weight so I know where you’re coming from. I have some health issues, and t scared me into making a commitment to a different way of eating. Keep it Simple. Don’t make fancy Keto desserts at first thinking they’ll help you lose weight. They’re options when you neeeed a dessert. I think a good…

Me! I am 5'8" with a desk job starting starting on no sugar, no grains. Basically LCHF.

Just eat bacon. LOL

25 pounds in than 3 months. The first 20 were in 2 months. Yes, it's slow but it's safe and not drastic. And OMG I can eat so much. The last monthI have gone more lowcarb...but I think I need to go back to full-on keto.

^Outstanding!!!!!

I get hungry after 6 hours...now that I am not watching fat. My only problem still is wanting to nibble as a nervous habit. Most days I am 20 net carb. Sometimes more; sometimes less. I follow Atkins mostly..

Me! Add me. Loving it. 4 weeks in.

Add me!

Eliminating regular pasta, rice, white potatoes, white bread and sugary desserts is a huge deal. I would call that "watching your carb". You'll Know what works. And I find the more fat I eat, the less hungry I am. Love avocado and sour cream. My nails grow like crazy and lose weight. I still eat most my carbs in the form…

Such a great thing! I only wish I could "share" foods and recipes with my husband so he doesn't end up struggling. Or me checking his logs and correcting them.
-
Me! I will be 50 soon. I feel 50! I have almost a hundred to lose. I can't find the group.
-
Eat more. Take a good vitamin.
-
Think of everything in half cup servings. Don't choose items that don't have complete nutritional info listed.
-
I drink water with Mio drops. It's mostly water.
-
Oh, so many users add only calories not all the details. Bums me out, so I add my own stuff manually as much as I can and verify with websites. If something only lists carbs and not fiber, and I know it should have it, I rescan the item.
-
Friend me!
-
Doing 20 net carbs a day, medium protein and higher "good fat". Lost 15 in 3 weeks and clothes fit better, and not hungry except when I'm supposed to be in the morning. Not grazing all day anymore. Feel so much better!
-
Mission brand pork rinds! Dipped in guacamole. Love adding some coconut oil/manna when cooking eggs. And a tiny bit in my coffee. And lipgloss. And cuticle softener.

Great replies. So glad to have found this group. I feel like I'm doing the right thing. Finally. I've only done it for two wks tomorrow and have almost 100 pounds to lose. But my usual way of eating sucked. I ate Subway a lot, egg whites etc. Low fat, but still gained. Now I eat lots more fat and lose. Amazing.
-
A cheat day for me would have me back eating the things that got me into this mess in the first place. I'm only 10 days in, but I eat plenty and am not hungry. Sounds good to me.
-
Then how come I would gain weight so easily eating high fiber, low fat?
-
I posted this status message today :D "Every single time I am on a tracking streak , I start to think "this is crazy...I don't need to track. This is stressing me out". And then I stop tracking. Then I gain alllll the weight I managed to lose! How many times am I going to do this? I've struggled for 8 years to lose the 50…

Add me too. I could lose 100 pounds. But at least 75. Just started low carbing.
-
Add me too.
-
Add me? My phone won't let me either! I started low carb 1/19. Basically Atkins.
-
I'm in the same boat. I just log everything in. And adjust me nutrient goals to have higher fat and 5-6 percent carbs. Hoping for the best. All I know is that in never hungry and feel so satisfied on what I'm eating. Only once in 6 days have I gone over on calories MFP set for me, which is 1590. I am trying to overcome…

Nicely done.
-
Support socks, even mild support, greatly improves circulation and gives a burst of energy in that leg. I know they're not fashionable but if you're wearing pants..who cares.
-
Bless all of you. I drink Diet Coke, and water with MIO.
-
I have been with 2 men like that in my life. Both who have had NO reason to talk about appearances. I can't help but think underneath that horrifying way of speaking to your fiance, is a mountain of worms that will only get worse. I don't think he is good husband material. Save yourself the hassle. Let the relationship die…
