Hey! How are things going with you? I hope this note finds you having a great day. ๐ I was curious if youโre still eating low carb, or if not, are you thinking about getting back on track and interested in participating in a group challenge, or setting some year-end goals? I find that I do so much better staying focused on my goals when we do it together as a community!
Iโm doing great (better!), but also struggling, so Iโve been slow at sending updates or sharing food diaries, but I have been posting notes & videos on Instagram and even more on my Facebook Page if youโre on either of those sites.
Iโm making good progress on my recovery, but having to rest a lot in between, so Iโm slow at reaching out or responding, but I think Iโm getting a better handle on that โ finding a more solid balance.
Anyway, Iโm writing because I would love to hear from YOU and whatโs going on with you. ๐ How are things on your end? Iโd also love hear about your year-end goals, and if youโre interested in doing a challenge together with our group โ or if thatโs NOT a high priority for you right now (maybe later)โฆ
I look forward to catching up. ๐ xo ~ Lynn
p.s. I know Iโve asked about interest in doing a low carb or weight loss challenge again since July and several times since (with no response) but I thought Iโd check in again to see if anything has changed. ๐

Yes, I struggle every day but Iโm still low carb. I would love to participate in a challenge. I really need the support.
Another 90 day challenge is a great idea.
Count me in!
So great to hear you are finally getting some breakthroughs on your health. My friend with long Covid who was about 3 weeks ahead of you is doing so much better and has learned how to live with her new life. Slower being the key word.
I definitely need some accountability. Need to get back on my low carb, stick with the 20g carbs. Make some changes and address some health issues all stemming from weight.
A low carb dish I miss of yours is the pecans, cottage cheese & strawberries.
Since last December Iโve faced breast cancer with a double mastectomy, then ovarian cancer with a radical hysterectomy. I had a right knee replacement in June and the left knee replaced six weeks later.
To say Iโm depleted is an understatement! Weight has piled on and Iโm desperate to start moving again and drop pounds.
Keep me posted on a challenge; Iโm unable to do much in the way of working out yet but itโs time to stop the emotional eating and rejoin the living!
Hi there Lynn,
I am so happy whenever I see a post from you. I am so glad to hear you are still getting better
day by day. I am a LONG time reader/lurker.
I have been having trouble getting ANY motivation to go back to eating low carb even though
I know itโs what is best for me and I feel my best doing it. Iโm not completely โoff the wagonโ
diet-wise, as I canโt eat gluten and do not eat sugar, but rice, potatoes, tortilla chipsโฆoh boy!!
I would love to participate in a challenge if you have any other replies!

Ready for a challenge to get back on the wagon! Not up too much in weight, only a few pounds, but my stomach pouches. Itโs got to be carbs!
Struggling to get back on track after quitting smoking January 1.
Ready to get back on the keto/ low carb wagon.. The only thing I need to change this time to be successful is to stop all the processed packaged foods. I didnโt lose much at all when I started buying all the keto cookies,butters,muffins etc.. The first two months I was losing steady on keto with eating all natural foods. Then for the next year I was strict keto but cooking keto recipes and using keto products. More weight gain then lost only a total of 5 pounds the entire year. The ladies at work never ate processed food or packaged keto treats and both lost over 100 pounds.. So Iโm ready for the challenge..
So glad youโre feeling better. I am ready for a challenge. My eating has been the pits.
Lynn Iโm so thankful to hear you are getting better!! โค๏ธ I would greatly love to join a challenge. I have been doing my best to stay low carb I finally ditched the counting I had done for years I have nervous system problems as well and had a bad flare the longest and super stress. It got me flustered being sick so Iโm trying to be sure to monitor . And stay healthy simple low carb. I would love to join in whatever you decide and I have 15 lbs I need to drop to be at my best and more mobility for me. โค๏ธ
Definitely ready for s new challenge. Iโve been off track and Iโm ready to get back to it
Dearest Lynn, I am more than ready for a challenge! Iโve been struggling. Your such an inspiration in so many ways! Count me in!
Iโm glad to hear you are still on the road to recovery!
Iโm up for a new challenge, actually, Iโm challenging myself, but Iโm better in a group. So if you are starting a new one, count me in.
Take care, and continue to get better.
Have really been struggling and up several pounds! Would really like to participate in a new challenge
Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. I hope the improvement continues.
I would be interested in a challenge. I celebrated a little too much this summer and Iโm up seven pounds! Canโt seem to motivate to take it off so count me in!
Yes, still doing low carb, but need some accountability. Iโm ready for a challengeโฆ
I have just gotten back on low carb last week and have been doing well so far, down 7 pounds but keep forgetting to measure, I really should start doing it before the loss slows down
I would be interested in a low carb challenge. I was doing ok maintaining before I tried to continue my weight loss but this summer my mother and I moved into a home together , and Iโve gained 5 pounds due to the stress and accompanying overwhelm as we try to squeeze our belongings into half the space.
In addition, although I knew caretaking would be part of my new role, I didnโt realize how much help my mother needs from meโitโs been a bit of a shock. Itโs definitely doable, I just didnโt expect it. In any event, I need to get back on track so I can continue my weight loss journey and maybe a challenge would help me.
I struggle! Would love a challenge and support from challenge teammates.
My daughter and I tried ur recipes daily for 4 months. Iโve learned that as African-Americans, we suffer hypertension and heart disease as a race (a predetermined cursor). Iโm so stupid, I always thought that if Anyone, of Any race exercised and followed a healthy dietโฆ.all is well. I was wrong. As it turns out, all the bacon and cheeses and butter and eggs and burgers and steak (red meat) and pork chops and nuts all contained far too much salt and fat than my daughterโs little body could handle. She was 18 when we started your program. Those foods, in that combination, skyrocked her blood pressure to 235/185 and doctorโs couldnโt get it down. She was hospitalized immediately with threat of a stroke. They poked and bothered her, meds after meds, bp continued to stay elevated. She mentioned to doctors only changes in our lives was the New KETO Diet. I was 48 when I began your program. I have since learned (the hard way), that sometimes Everything is not for Everybody!
Hi Darlynn,
Iโm very sorry to hear about your daughterโs health struggles. As a mom that is so hard, I know.
I donโt actually have โa programโ or very many recipes even. I eat pretty simple, usually things like: salmon & broccoli, grilled chicken & green beans, eggs & avocado, just simple meals. I havenโt had any trouble with red meat myself, but thatโs optional of course.
Anyway, when was this โ and how is she doing now? Iโm curious how long she was eating very low carb when that happened? I hope sheโs doing better and feeling great now!
Count me in
Still low-carbing. Not losing but not gaining. Gonna try to maintain through the holidays and start tweaking after the new year. Iโm trying to continue good eating habits. Healing on the inside perhaps???
Hi Lynn! I am so glad to hear you are doing better on your recovery. I am actually going strong on my keto journey..finally. I have set my goal on 50 lbs. I would be Interested in a challenge if you get enough interest. I am planning a trip to Jamaica the end of Oct. But I plan to eat a lot of fish and vegetables while I am there. Best wishes for a full recovery.
Iโm ready to start the low-carb challenge again. Robertha
Count me in. Robertha
Hi Lynn, glad your recovering, at least slowly. I am struggling. Just cannot get back to low carb. One day I weigh 138, another 139, even 137. just keep bouncing. I am still drinking a glass of chardonnay with tonic water every evening. Surely that is why,. I do watch carbs somewhat. I usually eat a low carb wrap for lunch with tuna or Lebanon bologna . Not eating sweets at all. that I donโt miss. dinner will be meat and veggie. So not really over eating. very inactive, except making myself do treadmill and yoga about three times weekly. yes, need more exercise. Next month I have wedding, but looks like I wont even be 15 again if I keep up. well, thats where I am. Sincerely, Betty Gray
Hi Lynn! Iโm in for a new challenge.
Looking forward to a challenge
Hi Lynn! Iโm glad to hear of your improvements. Iโve gotten off track terribly & need a complete โre-set.โ I think a challenge would be helpful for me โ so count me in.
Thanks!
