Y'all don't freak out when I start the Straycat plan. I've been reading for a long time and have started and failed like a yoyo multiple times. I ache and hurt in my joints when I have too many bad carbs along with ongoing heartburn. I'm tired of feeling this way. I just turned 50 and it's time to quit being an idiot and get serious about eating more healthy. I'm gearing up for a June 1 start. I'm at 267 right now. I lost 30 pounds a couple of years ago and have kept 20 of it off (one of the Aldeer weight loss challenges we did).

My plan is to tailor make the right plan for me by using and adapting various keto or low carb plans as a base. I know myself and my weaknesses...also know what I really enjoy. I'm going to find a way to still have my cheeseburger fix on occasion. Hopefully my plan will work. I'll keep a thread going because feedback and accountability help me.

Great information on this thread and many inspirational stories of success. Great job Fur!
