Not eating Keto. Just doing 16:8 IF right now. I have read about keto, but never done anything with it. Its hard to plan meals around that lifestyle because of the size of my family. Wife, 6 kids. Honestly, our meals consist of whatever is on sale and cheap....
Its not hard at all. You just have to know how to fix what you normally eat in a different way.0 -

I have a question for you all. How do you handle living with someone who is a junk food junkie? My husband knows I don't want ice cream, chips, candy, cakes, etc. in the house all the time. I do buy some on occasion, but not every time I shop. I told him that I feel those things should be occasional treats on weekends or special days like a birthday and such. He is overweight and doesn't care and I don't pressure him not to eat all of the things he loves. He knows how I feel about it and why. Every time he goes to the store he buys my favorite ice cream or cookies or chocolate and says he was thinking of me and wanted to treat me. I've asked him not to do this, yet he continues. How do you handle situations like this?
@DeshotelK I was in that boat in the beginning and I just had to make a conscious decision to not eat that stuff.
Maybe the answer is you sit him down and ask him the tough questions, I'd like to think he's trying to be sweet, but if you've told him you don't want that stuff around, maybe ask him if he's trying to sabotage you, and see how he reacts, maybe he just doesn't realize that it's really that hard for you to resist the temptations and he wasn't intentionally trying to make you fail, maybe it's that simple, and having an honest conversation with him will help...1 -

@hippienana I think for him, he's saying it's harder for him when he has 6 children to fix something that everyone could eat on a budget....and that makes sense considering...the diet itself I don't feel is hard, I do feel like it's a bit more pricey, and I think that's really what he's saying to be honest...0 -
@hippienana Great loss this week! Keep it up!
@gjaholy33 You're doing great, hopefully the pain subsides quickly, falls are never good, but good job sticking with your goals despite the pain!
@o0kody0o Awesome job!! Dumbbells are great for workouts, and maybe eventually you can a set of adjustable ones (I have a set, it's great) and start crushing dumbbell workouts!!
@batgirl140 Awesome loss, you stuck with it! Yes you were up, but that's not always a true gain, and I don't like to blame TOM either so much, but sometimes it does play a role....just saying.
@grizziegriz Hang in there and keep plugging along, the losses will come.
@303lissy It's tough to stick to our goals when we aren't feeling our best, but we can do it, it's hard, but a necessary evil. Hang in there and keep taking steps to get to your goal!! You CAN do this!
@tinak33 I laughed at the TMNT shirt, I am a giant TMNT nerd (the original, not the remake of recent years), one of these days, I will have to take a picture of my office....it paints a picture, TMNT and marvel superheros......yep, that's the nerd that I am. Hell, last year my hubby got me a glowy "can of ooze" to complete my turtles collection....
And glad to see the scale cooperating after date night

Friday is ordinarily my rest day but I decided to walk on the treadmill for 35 minutes so I ended up with over 7K steps. I start the step challenge on Monday at work and I 'm committed to averaging 10K steps a day for 4 weeks.

It’s been a crazy week. My family came into town late (and I mean ended up being 1 AM late) thurs. Spent the earlier part of the week busy cleaning and running around getting ready for their visit. I’ve been getting my workouts in, but have not been tracking. Pleasantly surprised by this loss.
My son makes his Confirmation today. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.3 -
