So today is the beginning a my journey to health. (Again). I have some old recipes and some new ones. I am stocking my pantry and food prepping today. I am trying to set myself up for success. Anyone else out there? 🙂

Good for you!
Staring is the hardest part, IMO. Good luck. 1 -
WELCOME BACK. 1

Welcome back! I recently restarted my journey, too.1

Ok I am in. I have fallen into carb land and again all I think about is food. I am going to restart Keto and then move into Paleo. But I have to end the carbs so my hunger stops.
Good luck.1 -
After repeated failure I had to leave all food containing added sugars and or any form of any grain cold turkey. I knew the risks were high if I did not finally stop the yo-yoing weight. That was Oct 2014. After a hellish two weeks the carb cravings grip on my eating started to slip fast.
I think restarting was the easy part and finding the correct macros that would stop the cravings and binging was my hardest part.
Best of success and the journey for each may be very different.2 -
I restarted about a month go but haven't really posted much yet. Wanted to make sure I wasn't dropping out after a few days or week again.
Meal prepping saves me. I work 12 hr shifts, so I prep and pack a full meal and two smaller meals.
So far I've done a week of Buffalo chicken dip with celery, a week of deli meat, bacon, cheese and pickle roll ups, a week of beef chili (no beans) with cheese and sour cream, and a week of white chicken chili (heavy on chicken, very light on the white beans) and cheese and sour cream. This is my "lunch", consumed between 1 and 2 pm.
In addition I also pack 3 hard boiled eggs (for the late morning, 10:30-12ish) and fage 5% yogurt mixed with low carb vanilla or chocolate protein powder and a scattering of raspberries, which I eat between 5 and 6 usually.
I drink about 3 cups of coffee between getting up at 6:30 and those late morning eggs, with a small amount of half and half. I will also occasionally have a late afternoon coffee.

You are so wise to meal prep! I'm 2 years keto this month and meal prepping is a must for me. It's not uncommon for me to have something in the oven, the Instant Pot and the Crockpot all at the same time, lol. Foods that are tasty, keto and freeze well come in soooooo handy when pressed for time in our busy lives. Looks like you're doing great. Keep it up. 2 -
me too, start again, I lost 20 lbs rather fast and went off low carb, weight came off so slowly I am getting discouraged so I got back on this week and 2 lbs came right off. To be honest don't know if I can do low carb all the time but I know I can bounce back and forth, maybe try 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. I am almost at goal so trying to figure it out.2

Welcome.
I used this account back in 2014 and lost 30 kg.
I just restarted 2 weeks after regaining nearly 18kg over the last year (fell off the wagon and stress of divorce).
Back on the wagon and going for it again. This time I know it will work because I have done it before.
Good luck and welcome back.4 -
Thank you all! I do love the great recipes. Food prep really helps3
