I did visit your site and left 2 comments on the online friends post. After your pm I checked it again and I can read my comments so I am not sure what you are seeing. It looks like it is going to be fun.

Moved out of motel and into house. Kitchen will not be ready for a couple of weeks, but I have a large mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and crock pot. A challenge, but a step up. And I think I should be able to drive in a few days. It has been difficult to meet some of my goals, but I have dili...

Thanks for sharing your life experience. I remember when you were on board when your husband was deployed and am happy to see you return. I look forward to reading your posts. I, too, am having success incorporating low carb with NoS and have been inspired by Bright Angel and her logical analyses. T...

Kathleen, This is a quote from your latest journal entry: He's decided to lose weight, the Mayo Clinic doctor who gave him his physical said that he should cut back on carbs, and now he is starting to follow that advice. As for me, I like the idea of just having to worry about meal-timing and lettin...

Even though I weigh daily if I can, I haven't really been paying attention to the rate of weight loss. I just realized today that I lost 10 lbs. since Jan. 5 and most of this time has been in very difficult circumstances: Motel living, no exercise, limited mobility, etc. I have 20 lbs. to lose to re...

I thought you might want to add this to your file if you have not run across it already. It is an analogy explaining the First Law of Thermodynamics as it applies to calories in/calories out using a broken toilet.

Well, we escaped most of the snow/ice that was forecast for last night and this morning. After being trapped inside for 4 days last week, I am relieved that we caught a break.

Thanks for checking in on my thread I really love this discussion board..there is so much wisdom here. And isn't it amazing how so many have followed the same path to this point?

Water pipes broke in motel. Plumbers spent hours trying to find the leak. So all water is off indefinitely.

Finally, we should thaw out enough today to get out of the motel room! Here's hoping that the car starts. We have to stay in motel another week, but at least I can get to the grocery store now. The thaw is causing plumbing problems all over the city. The assisted living facility where my 94 yr old f...

Here is the Astwood quote I think was most interesting: "Which of us would not be preoccupied with thoughts of food if we were suffering from internal starvation?"

Here are 2 excerpts from the links connorcream shared that are quite clear. I am saving them to my thread, but thought some might find them instructive.

Starting off a new month with a good weight loss. I am now snowed in and in a motel room. I am not sure when the thaw will come, but I may have my first fast depending on how long the supplies in the mini fridge last! Thankful for heat, electricity, running water, and the internet.

TexArk, The premise behind low carb is that you need to eat what you don't want. Kathleen I strongly disagree that this is the premise behind a restricted carbohydrate diet. I would never eat yucky, fake food and something I did not want, and that is not the low carb way of eating as I understand i...

Kathleen, Why do you think it was "harder and harder" for your sister in law to reduce carbs after a period of time? I really cannot see why sugar and flour are necessary for health and well being.

TexArk

I have to chime in here to say that any skeptics should read Good Calories Bad Calories first. Taubes lays it all out, even though it is difficult to plow through.

I love this summary that BA posted on her thread: Member of a Low-Carb forum wrote: My understanding of why we lose weight comes from these Taubes conclusions...

I agree with you and connorcream about continuing to monitor both calories and carbs. I have averaged 1300 calories and 120 carbs the last quarter.

I agree with you about rules instead of guidelines. Guidelines are too loose for me...that is another reason Intuitive Eating didn't work out well--I need boundaries.

Kathleen said: "I tend to binge if I break the rules at all." Kathleen, I think this statement sums up most of your approach. Something to think about: You have many other "rules" in your life that have formed your character that you live by daily. I know you do not apply this all or nothing approa...

I have found this to be true in my experience also. The diets I have lost on in the past were indeed low carb even though they were not labeled as such.

Today I weighed in at 172 lbs. (edited here for typo) which is what I weighed at the end of my first month on NoS at the end of January 2009. I then lost about 4 lbs. averaging one pound a month.
