Thanks everyone but, I'm still having trouble with the ticker tape. I went to update it & when it came to posting it on my profile, that's when I had trouble. If I remember, you put the link to the signature section of your profile. I did that & no ticker tape shows up

Thanks so much everyone !

Thank you to all who replied to my question & welcomed me back. Alot of what you said is ringing a bell. It's been awhile since I read the book & I thought I remembered all I had to do. But, I guess I forgot quite a bit. I will have to get the book out again. But, I will focus on just staying under the 20 carbs. That is much more simple than trying to figure out calories in & calories out. Thanks guys

I just returned again after gaining my weight back after giving in to carbs. I am walking for exercise and according to my new app, which shows how many calories I've burned, I burned 500 calories today. How do I figure out how many carbs or fat I burned with this information? Is there a way to figure it out?

It's been awhile since I've been on. I lost all this weight from following advice on
          this book. Then I had one cheat week that sent me spiraling out of control, possible
          never to return. Someone mentioned cinnamon rolls & a package product that would
          help me make them the way my mom use to make them. I had to try it. I lost control,
          they were so good. That seemed to open the door to all carbs, after that. My mom then
          became ill, I started to care for her, unfortunately, she died. But, I spent 2 years
          caring for her & she was in & out of the hospital for the last 3 months of her life. I
          totally neglected myself & did no exercise. I gained everything back.  Now, a year
          later, I am back to exercising & following the book & I've lost 15 lbs. I have I have
          10 more I want to lose. I have to remember how to do the ticker tape because it
          shows my last results, which were great but, I'm not there yet. 
          I have a question about acitone. I read that if cells don't have glucouse to burn, it
          then burns fat & protein. I know that's the key behind your weight loss book. I read
          that when the cells burn fat, it produces acitone, therefore making your blood acidic,
          which leads to exhaustion & worse. What does everyone on this diet do to combat
           acid build up & has anyone had a problem with this?

The weight is still coming off. It started out quickly. I lost 20 in 2 months. But, now I'm at a plateau, for about 2 months. I've lost 2 more but, can't get it off as quickly as when I started. I'm not upset, just getting impatient. I know this works and I know I need to add more exercise. I lost the weight & only went to the gym once a week. I use to go daily & never lost. The good thing is that I'm not gaining. So, I know I have to increase exercise. I'm not being stricked on my carb counting, though I do keep it under 20 most of the time and only go over maybe 10 carbs once in a while.  I'll keep updating as it comes off.

Don't forget to  count every single carb.  That will make a difference.  Hang in there.

I WAS A LITTLE INPATIENT AT FIRST. I WAS AT A PLATEAU A FEW TIMES. BUT LOOKING BACK, I THINK I LOST IT IN PRETTY GOOD TIME. IT'S BEEN 5 WEEKS SINCE I STARTED THIS AND I'VE LOST 13 TO 14 LBS (MY SCALE HASN'T DECIDED WHERE IT WANTS TO STAY)  I HAVE 16 MORE TO GO. IF I CAN LOSE IT IN ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, I'LL BE SOOO HAPPY.   THANKS DOUG FOR LETTING EVERYONE IN ON THE SECRET. GOD BLESS YOU.
