Default Lab Rats on a Quest

Hello! We are a group who have gotten to know one another on a different forum seeking ways to effectively reach our goals. Just because we know each other doesn't mean we are a closed shop or that you aren't welcome. There was a time that none of us knew each other and over time we collected more friends along the way. If you want to participate, please do so. We'd love to have you join us!

We are mostly older women (but men are welcome too!) who have found losing weight, even low carb, to be a challenge for us. Many of us are longtime LCers who share ideas, articles, videos with each other. We like to learn and we like to have fun.

So if you have a mind to join us, we'll make room and pile you up on the haywagon with us as we bounce along on our journey!

So, I was checking out the zero carb thread. It is very interesting. Some of the experiences folks have had have been great, including being able to get rid of those last 20-30 stubborn pounds. I don't know if I'm ready, but I did post there that I was thinking about it. I may give it a shot at some point. Who knows?

I waited for a while and then wondered if you were offline so I went ahead.

Lab, think about it. For me, reducing carbs from NANY to DADR is what is working best for me. That's next to zero carb in my book. I feel as if I'm resetting something.

So, if you can handle it, you may want to try it for a bit to see what happens and then up your carbs a bit. Maybe you just need a new reset button. Y'know?

How does one send messages? I click on the link and it tells me I'm not allowed to do that.
