The funniest thing happened at the gym today. I've never used a certain row machine in the gym and I recently realized that. So, I go to use the machine and there's an old man on the one next to me. Someone forced the first weight to be stuck so I fixed it and it dropped down. The minute it drops, the old man runs over to me and "shows" me the way to use the machine. First he puts it on a moderate amount and tells me to try that out. I warned him by saying, "I don't think that's nearly enough. I'm very strong." Anyhow, he goes, "Wow! You *are* strong. You must really be eating your eggs and potatoes"

LOL I responded in, "No. Just the eggs. "

LOL! Those old men, huh?!! "just the eggs" That's good!! I like that ;-)

Medical condition or not.....200 grams of carbs on a daily basis is too high. I'm not saying go Keto.....just drop 'em down a bit.

You can drink 2 protein shakes a day if that helps you cut them back a little. I noticed you use the Zero Carb.

I'd agree w/ scorpiogirl on that. I noticed a big difference in how i feel look and the bloating went down once i brought down carbs from about 200 which i estimate i was eating before counting cals etc to under 80g or so a day. I find that at 80g per day i can still get a bit of tasty food in like cottage cheese w/ pineapple, some grapes and blueberries and also some veggy carbs (which are low anyhow). Karma, I'd say try lower carbs and see what happens. If you do well on low carbs, keep them low, but don't go crazy w/ carbs though as in don't eat too little. Keep it to 80g or 100g for a while and see how you like it. ;-)

I got put on 500mg metformin. It shouldn't kick in for a little while. I'm going in for a blood test on Saturday (fasting) to determine whether my elevated cortisol is from pure stress of Cushing's Syndrome. Too many tests, too little time and money. Not to mention patience.
