You go girl!!!!!!

I'm going for the 6 month NUT appointment today. I know they are going to say I need more calories. I still average between 700-800 a day.

It will be interesting to see how different the advise will be between the NUT and the Surgeon. I know they are not in the same page so it's hard to know who to follow.

My Surgeon said ... Don't worry about calories. Just get 60 grams if Protein in and then stop eating.

Ok ladies how many days at under 20 carbs Before you're in Kiitos ? I have never once been in it I have strips to test.

Sorry to say that in the past I rarely got my strips to dark purple even when doing 20 carbs it less. Maybe it because I have PCOS. My strips would register a light shade of pink.

Artsong- also the time for your body to show Ketosis is different for everyone. For me a week.

I agree

[greenfamily004 172]

Art- perfect!!! So excite for you. Keep doing it and that stubborn weight will move. Some if us are very carb sensitive. Low carbing is the only way we loose. My NUT told me to keep my calories low. I told her I eat between 700-800 a day and she said that was great. No need to increase. I keep my carbs low and calories low and I loose at least a pound a week. I hit 149 yesterday!!!!!

[newgrandmother 725]

green low carb dont work for me. i upped mines and the scale moved

art girl i feel you i finally saw 222 today. i wonder if it will go back to 225 tomorrow uggggggg

I go don't know what's going on for me!!! I saw 153 about 3 weeks ago and since then not only has the scale not move butbitbhas gone up!!! That 153 was after going out of a 3/4 week stall and having to go back to the basics which was just liquids grrrrr. I'm doing that again but I don't know. I work out. Cardio and weights about 5 says a week. Also I have developed a serious itch over almost my whole body(breast abdomen area back of thigh near buttocks under arms etc) am I the only one who has encountered this?
