Day 3.... hunger fullness, energy..so far is good. I will weigh in on Halloween day. Is a trick or treat?? Something to look forward to.

Liliann, good for you. It is so great to find what works for us. I struggle to find what works for me long term. But, health is so worth it; we will never give up.

Fasting blood sugar...was 120

Thurs....PM. 118

It sounds low carb is working on my fbs ,,My goal is to keep under 100.

I walked 1 hour this morning...before bed...will walk again..

On my kindle, gotten a carb apps and love it..

I hope there will be other LC folks will share there efforts. More the merrier!! I know holidays approaching and My New years is starting now.

3 reasons for my LC lifestyle change..
1. Mom and sister
2. become pain free...I want to kick this sciatica nerve pain down and far away from me.
3.clothes that fits me.

I did great on carbs tonight...before bed, will snack on sunflower seeds and be around 65 carbs.

Great job!

I am limiting carbs too. Eating them early in the day as I can have them for a quick breakfast with a protein. It is easier than I thought it would be.

Good luck all.

Greetings ..

I started tracking my carbs this week, on day 5 now, have went low-carb before but never counted carb grams and was surprised to see how many there were is some foods. I am following a Dr's recommendation of 22 g of carb per day. It is difficult and have not been totally successful, but am above the 80/20 calculation and have also taken off over 7 lbs (yes I know it's water weight). What I like most is that my cravings for sugar are (mostly) gone and I don't graze all day. What I like least is breakfast and facing another egg, I purchased some ckn yesterday and will cook it tonight and have it for breakfast, oh well better go do it now and get on with my day. Wishing all of you a great day.

Alcmac....Welcome and hello!! Bravo on your 7 Lbs!! That is wonderful!! Thank you for sharing :) keep the wonderful work!!

Kathy.. stay low carb.. ..Good luck.

My plan is having 2 low carb smoothies and moderate meal for dinner.

I want my scale to give me a good sign.not err!!

Will check Tonight.. We can do this!!!

Alcmac, sounds like a good plan. Do you like low fat cheese for your eggs in the morning? There are endless ways you can prepare eggs!

Good morning Kathy, no I don't use cheese very often, as per my nutritionist's instructions I try to keep to 65 grams of protein per day, I also (as per her recommendation) try to keep to 1200 calories. So far I track my calories, protein, carbs and steps.

My big challenge is recognizing my "triggers", yesterday I went to the cookie jar and it wasn't till a couple of hours later I put together a phone call with my need to self-medicate. Now I just need to put the need to eat sugar together with the phone calls etc. before I put the garbage food in my mouth. I would love to get rid of the cookie jar but Grandpa (95 yrs) MUST have his cookies every day. This is one of my "challenges" I need to work on.

Look at this- a simple question on low-fat cheese and I go off on a tangent. Another one of my "Problems". I live in a small town and we don't (can you believe this) carry low-fat cheese, when I go to the city in November I might pick some up and try it, depending on calorie count. Well have a great weekend Kathy.

I try to keep to at least 4,000 calories a day to ensure I lose 3 pounds a week.
