I agree with Mom2. When I post comments with suggestions, I try my best to report my own experience or something I may have read about someone else's. Ask questions instead of telling someone they are "doing it wrong." I probably am not perfect at this! You got a huge number of responses on your post when you were trying to figure out why nothing seemed to be working - an almost overwhelming amount. We've got a lot of people on here who really want to help and I wonder how much of that is part of our weight problem - because we're always taking care of others and not ourselves. In one of Dr. Atkins' books he said he wanted you to take his information and suggestions and create a way of eating that was "Atkins and I" to find what you like and can live with on your journey. In another one he said that if you find you don't like low carb, do some other diet but please do your health a favor and lose your excess weight. If the Dr. who helped so many can drop his bias I think others can learn to do the same. No one should be saying anybody did anything because he/she said they should, and if they think it through they'll realize that could not possibly be the case unless they had the person tied up and force fed them.

I didn't think it was me, but it's always good to make sure. I've given my own plan some rethinking lately, and I know I haven't always taken criticism of LCHF very well, but I've really reached a point where I don't really advocate for LCHF, it's something that's worked for me, but that's me, and everyone else needs encouragement to find their own way, regardless of what that plan ultimately ends up being. It shouldn't be a division of cults, we're all working towards getting better, and that's what's important.

mom2boxer.. so many ways to lose weight! and each person is different in what they can tolerate. I support whatever way because I support people's free will to chose for themselves.

Lol yes track... I was overwhelmed and couldn't respond to everyone. today my toddler is being calm and just trying to feed me pretend food but normally he wants me to play hockey and I can't keep up with posts. ...... so many really want to help. I think it's sewn like learning... they say you don't really know anything until you are able to teach it, or something like that ha ha ..... taking care of others and not myself is a huge issue in my house. I'm sure that goes for others here like you said.

phil you're going to change things up??? and hey! that diet helped you a lot. it's hard to bite the hand that feeds. I get that. .... but ya I'm taking that rout.. Ill say what I do but I'm not going to tell anyone what to do and I'll only say to look at what I've done if they sound disheartened. .... agreed, no cults!! we are people generally going for the same goal.

I'll be one year on low carb come June 14, so far I've lost over 200 pounds, by the time I hit my one year mark I doubt if I have anything left to lose so I'll have to adjust. I really want to get about twenty pounds below what might be ideal so I have some wiggle room, just in case.

I'm sure we can get them on. Not sure about me walking in them though. I don't know if they are built to hold my weight right now!
