Hi, this is just a post to say welcome, and someone has read your message. I found this very helpful, especially in the early days. Can't help with the specific query, but at least one other person will be able to help you.

Good luck

hi Jeannie

Hmm ... Depo provera unfortunately is notorious for weight GAIN and screwed up blood sugars/insulin problems. There have been a number of discussions here about it, check it out .. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...=&threadid=6338

Congrats on the lbs lost so far. It's not easy, but you're doing very well. Kee us posted how you're doing.

In fact, why not pop up into our Introductions forum, and say hello

Rictoria.

Hey there,
I would like to talk to you but I am new on this and do not know what I am doing. Please let me know if you get this? Debbie

Hi Rictoria & Debbie,

Welcome to you both. Yes, you did OK there, Debbie, you successfully logged your first post.

If you want a tip or two about how to get around this forum, just ask.

Wish you both well. There are plenty of knowledgeable people here, and they have all been there. The big thing with those of us on the "long haul" is to set small, achievable goals. That way you will get there. Look forward to hearing more from you both.

Best wishes

Is this all done by e-mail? I find it hard to remember the website to log on to. I am just starting the zone diet. I recently lost 50 lbs on it along with Jazzercise but went way off track. I know how my body responds to carbs so the zone does well for me. Yesterdays weight 292. This morning 290. That 1/2 bowl of popcorn did not hurt too much. Thanks guys for helping me along the way, and Andy for the e-mail.

Try putting this on your desk top. That way you can just go to it and click on it and shasam...your here

Thanks again wendy,
I need all the help I can get. I was on a slimfast buddy system and they got angry at me when I complained of all the sugar on sf and talked about the zone diet constantly. I was only trying to help.

I hear ya, sometimes when speaking of Low Carb, one gets a strange look etc...

Personally, I just say I cut out all of the sugars, breads, pasta etc.. Then I get "Oh I see" If I get more then that I explain the woe with more detail, and find those who I explain it to is more interested in how I got the way I am now

What is the purpose of moderator? And what does the egg mean beside my name? There is alot going on on this website. It will take me awhile to understand it.

Well Debbie,

I'm still learning I'm afraid. Moderator is just someone who is there for you...and to watch everything is done correctly.

With the meats etc...I am still not sure how to send a url to you, but if you go to the comments box and click on that you will find conversations on this subject. Sorry for not being able to make it easier for you...Lots to still learn and of course trying to find time to do it in

Debbie ...

I have the URL to this site forum.lowcarber.org listed on my home page ... also, you can sign up for specific threads so that when a new message is posted to the board it will notify you by email. That's how I stay current with this list.

Regarding the egg ... I think that's a default icon of some sort. There's a way ... I don't remember how ... to pick a different one.

I've been on the Atkins plan for almost 6 weeks. I'm down about 20 pounds and I've lost 7.5 inches in the past 3 weeks. I also workout every morning (except weekends) at an excercise gym for women. It also keeps me motivated.

Good Luck,

Wendy

This does not mean we only post here, it's just an "extra" support when the goal weight seems tooooooooooooo faaaaaar from reach A sub-forum is organized into threads.

Thread: We are now in one thread inside the triple digits sub-forum A thread is meant to discuss a single issue/question around the focus of the sub-forum.

Make sure you visit all the other sub-forums to find out recipes in the Low Carb Kitchen sub-forum, the Daily sub-forum to talk to other low-carbers who have less than a 100 to lose, the jokes and laughter sub-forum, etc. Wendy is the moderator of our very popular sub-forum the "My Journal/Bootcamp" where members posts their daily or weekly entries, food logs etc, and other members check thing out and give feedback and encouragment.

There are a few icons at the top-right corner as well to help you navigate, one of them is the "FAQ" for frequently asked questions.

Wa'il

Great going on that 20 lb. weight loss. I tried Atkins for about 4 months and dropped 40 lbs, and then my Mom died and I got off the diet. I like the zone diet for now, cause it allows a certain amount of carbs, 40/30/30 balance. It is not really a low carb diet per say, but more protein that the ada allows. Keep up the good work. Debbie

I love the idea of having this thread for purely selfish reasons! I need ALLLLLLLL the help and support I can get!

I'm really new to the boards here, but just reading everyone's comments, ideas, success, and even hard times makes me feel that I'm not alone. You know, sometimes not being alone going through this, with others that are not demeaning to me, is about all that is needed.

SOOOOO congrats to everyone for being here and a BIG THANK YOU for being here!

I know we can do it together!
