Guest guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi All Looking through the posts on weight loss, I came across one from Chuck and one from Roni, I would like to ask for a little more info: Chuck, may I ask were you able to keep the weight you lost off? The 40 lbs you lost sounds pretty amazing to me. After the month's plateau were you able to lose weight again? Roni, sounds like you have been successful too with weight loss on low carbs is this right? Have you been able to maintain it?

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I maintained the weight as long as I stayed on the right amount of carbs. I came down wth Fibromyalgia and I have really gone off of it. I have to get back to it again and lose the weight I have gained. It's been hard to start because of the Fibro and afib. Each day is different, and I could feel fine one minute and then I'm a mess the next. I know what to do and how to do it, I just have to get to the point of doing it. <>Roni Immortality exists!

With very low carbs, you lose 10-15 pounds quickly, but that is mostly water. After that, 2-3 pounds a week came off for about 8 weeks. Then, it started to slow down. I still moderate my carb intake and try to eliminate high glycemic index foods. At least I am not still gaining. Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Chuck there is a critical carbohydrate number which is exclusive to each person. When you track your carbs and find the amount that renders you neutral (not gaining or losing) you can stay that way all the time. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thank you Chuck for your reply. That is my experience too, I am trying to be thankful I'm not still gaining, being careful with both carbs and calories. Oh well I am in good company. Rainie > > > > ...
