Goodnight Notes and August Plans

Hey everyone, how are you all doing?
It's after 1 AM here, so I will be going to get some sleep soon. It was a busy day with going shopping. Got some groceries; some which I will be using in August.
Speaking of August - I am going to try to get back on track. I am making no promises though because we all know my track record with that.
I do want to lose some weight, and get rid of some of the pain I am in which I am pretty sure is from inflammation. And if would help me in conceiving that would be great too.
Eventually I hope to do a carnivore diet, but I don't think I could go straight to that and stick to it. So I am going to do a mostly carnivore diet while allowing some (low carb) things (sauces, zero sugar substitutes, etc)
I want to stick to mostly steak, ground beef, chicken, tuna, and salmon. Oh yeah, eggs too of course. Also some cheese, and other dairy.
I could just do low carb, and have things like low carb tortillas, but I don't know how great those are for weight loss or insulin resistance. Should I share something about insulin resistance and the research I've done on that?
Anyways - so that is the plan. Eventually getting into working out when I can too.
If anyone is interested, I can share the journey with a daily food discussion like I did in the past?
What do you all think?
Photo via AI...just wanted a nice photo of steak and eggs to show a great carnivore meal.

Not a meal for me. However, if you have thought about it seriously, and it works for you, it is the best for you!
Have a great time with suitable dieting and other joys of life !

You wouldn't like steak and eggs? Bummer. I don't know that I'll have a great time

See if I was you
I wouldn't have mentioned it
But I would have weighed myself at Xmas and taken a photo of myself 50lb lighter and posted about that and how I had done it

I should never mention anything, I should just leave. Clearly I do nothing right. Just thought it'd nice to have friends on the journey but nobody wants that.
I will delete this discussion probably... And maybe share when I lose a bunch, or get my positive, maybe.

Oh Courtney for goodness sake
I only have my opinion
Doesn't mean you were wrong
Who had said they don't want to share your journey?
Why delete the post?
I think you are being slightly over sensitive about it.
You could just have easily said
Jim, I'm doing it my way

@Ineeddentures it wasn't you, it was someone else, so I was already feeling like I had failed. I just don't know why I bother sometimes
But maybe I'll share the journey and prove I know what I'm doing

Weight loss would come a lot faster if you sucked it up and ate some veggies and drank water. Things just haven’t worked like you wanted, and it’s time to try some different ways to get better. If this could be a way to conceive, wouldn’t you consider it worth it? I know you can do it, Courtney.

Veggies will never be something I eat, that is just how it is. I lost 75 pounds before without touching a single one. I just counted my calories and worked out a lot at the time.
Things haven't worked because I give up right away because I just want to eat the carbs I like. I don't really want to give up the carbs but I know I just need to...and August gives me a while before I find an excuse not to; and by then hopefully I will be at the point I feel better and won't want to go back to the carbs.

@MommyOfEli2013 You keep pointing to that time you lost weight without eating veggies. That was then. Our metabolisms change, and you even said you’re heavier now than you were back then. You can’t always do what you used to and expect the same result.

@AmbiePam yeah I'm bigger because I haven't been dieting, has nothing to do with veggies or no veggies.
I've gained weight because of insulin resistance, so I need to eat foods that don't cause that. Also less calories of course, which protein makes that very easy.

Have you looked at the peto diet? Hope you are able to lose some weight. Inflammation is no fun.

I like your idea of sharing food discussions since it is good to know what foods are good to shed pounds.
