Anybody doing Atkins or other low-carb plan?
Looking for a buddy who is doing Atkins or other similar low-carb plan! My calorie counting hasn't budged me out of my stubborn weight loss plateau. I'm hoping that cutting out most carbs (while still keeping total calories low) will work. I don't want to start with the "boot camp" regimen of only 20 grams per day. Eating only protein with a few cups of green veggies is too drastic! I'm bipolar and can't risk having my serotonin levels drop, resulting in depression and agitation, as well as insomnia. So I'm starting at the intermediate level of 40 grams per day. I could really use a buddy! So please somebody see this post and message me! thanks. Judy

Hi Judy :) spring comes and like you, I want the winter pounds off...Now! Wondering if posting in a room for seniors would benefit many, including us! For me...I really need to tighten up and increase fluid intake. Also eating several meals a day helps the body to not feel starved, thus reducing belly fat...waist size needs to be improved for health at 32 inches now, and needs to go to 30 or below....5'1" at 125lbs, I'd like to get to 30" and 120, not huge change, yet think I'd benefit from the action.
There is a sight I'm on where you can post anything you want...fun group of gals too. Like you, I too want to have motivation by working together. For me, since I'm two speeds...stop or fast forward, I want/need the accountability.
Take care, Mary Louise :)
