Happy mid-week, my Best Buddies!
My last journal entry brewed some great comments about personal choices and those who question people's nutrition plans. Thanks to all my supporters - you all rock!
So, a little history - I have been on FatSecret for FIVE years, and have maintained a loss of 75 pounds. I have read many books, been on websites, followed my FS Buddies and their plans, work with a trainer, do HIIT and lift heavy (for me) weights four or five days a week. My main goal is to lose bodyfat - not scale numbers.
And, I am a 62 year old woman, and I have thyroid issues. WHY the heck do people consistently try to argue my personal choices? It makes me laugh.
If I want to to eat LCHF, it is my business. And, it works when I am not in a slump as I have been recently. I just set up a bodyfat analysis date with my trainer in a few weeks so that usually motivates me to change.
PHOTOS are BEFORE and NOW. So, LCHF works for me. So, maybe stop judging!
