Newbie

I am so excited. I just started this plan on June 19, 2017 and have dropped 12 pounds! I also feel better than I have in a long time. Still have a lot more to lose. Hoping it continues as I learn more. 馃槉

    a girl at works sister said she loves it. Gets the bread that she craves. I haven't try it yet. Sounds good to me too. 

    Keep on track girl!  I have lost 30.5 lbs so far.

    connieinwisconsin @Are you on Facebook? There is a support group that I belong to. It's free and the people are really nice. We share recipes, our ups & downs, before/after pictures, tips and lots of encouragement. I also attend the free monthly meetings. I love it. I think you would too. It has gotten so big that it now has support groups in Texas and Wisconsin. There are people in the online group from Florida, New York, Virginia, Wisconsin, Texas, Pennsylvania and several other states. That is how I started this journey. I seen my husband's cousin and his wife and then a friend I hadn't seen in awhile and could not believe how much weight they lost. They looked fabulous! If you want u can friend you on Facebook and then get you added. It is what has been keeping me motivated. 馃槉

    Andrea @I am trying to lose about 80 also. Eggs, bacon & cheese are always good. Stay away from sugar, starches, breads, flour. I avoid fruits because they are so high in carbs. Drink plenty of water.  I also don't use any milk or margarine. I use heavy whipping cream and butter. Stay away from things that are processed and things that are "low fat" or "fat free". Hope this helps some. Make sure you track everything you eat or drink!!!

    Hey ladies! Thought I'd chime in after seeing your successes.  I'm one week in and down 7# so far.  I'm not a huge bread fan so I think this is the "diet" for me.  I would like to lose 50#

    Trying to be creative and trying new recipes.  Today it's Thai peanut chicken with cauliflower fried rice.  

    Andrea, I don't have much of a sweet tooth but when I have wanted to indulge this past week I had a bit of Halo ice cream or a shot of Redi-whip.  鈽猴笍

    How did your cauliflower fried rice turn out?  I've made some other cauliflower dishes like a cheesy bake but haven't tried ricing it. One of my favorites is a crustless quiche.  So easy and you can throw any kind of meat and veggies in that you want. It's different every time.

    Many of the comments above are familiar. Sugar free jello with Ready Whip used to be my 'go to' sweet.  After a while I stopped needing it. 

    This is my 2nd go at low carb/Keto. I stupidly went off despite a bunch of success with it for about 9 months.  Off for about 7 months and now back on for 2 weeks. Down 10 lbs.  Re-going through the initial adaptation awkwardness but feeling better even so and looking forward to what's to come. For anyone new, I'd recommend to stick with it. It's absolutely amazing how it changes you.

    KBG I made cauli fried rice. Don't cook the rice long! Soy sauce and pre fried veggies with meats. Excellent ! My family enjoyed it.

    Great, thank you. Sounds good. I was imagining just riced cauliflower and butter but making it into fried rice style sounds interesting.

    KBG  I make mine simply with butter and salt and pepper.  But I usually make it in place of the rice that goes under other stuff". Lol! 

    Even my kids like it! 鈽猴笍

    It holds up well for leftovers too.

    hi andrea.  How are you doing? Sometimes I will have just a squirt of whip cream for a sweet treat. But drink water it helps to keep you full.

    tvano1991 Hi, how are you making out? I've had a few slip ups but am back on track. Gained a few of the pounds that I lost from the mistakes I made but finally lost them again.

    fairchildk324 Hello! Thank you! Trust me I have had my share of slip ups. The key is to get right back on track, drink lots of water and tracking your carbs. It is so easy to over in them. Where in NC are you? I'm in Roxboro.

    sharonjds haven't had any slip ups really, but am not losing.  I allow myself one cheat meal per week but haven't been going crazy.  I don't really care about bread so this is the "diet" for me.  :)

    shannon.schladweiler Thank you! I know I can do this. I actually started this a few weeks before I downloaded this app on 6/19/17. I have lost a total of 33 lbs as of today. Haven't measured myself in a few weeks but last count I was down 18 1/2 inches. I'm still learning and refuse to give up. 馃槉

  • I am now 13 days in on a voyage that will, ideally, result in a 60 pound weight loss. I am down 10 pounds already, and my cravings have surprisingly been nil to this point. I know that there will come a point in the very near future in which the weight loss slows...  I am sleeping better and generally feeling better thus far!  My family is on board with this journey as well.  The kids have enjoyed almost everything I've prepared thus far, and my husband is struggling with giving up the soda.  Looking forward to meeting many more milestones and becoming part of a growing community!
