more than 100 lbs to lose....looking for support :)

See a lot people saying that they have tried before and had a hard time dieting. I lost 101 pounds in 7 months on the LCHF diet. Got in an accident and was in wheelchair over three years. Getting it back together now, and have dropped 18.8 pounds since May 1. I know a lot of people gasp at the LCHF diet and say that it is not good, so I ask why my doctor has told me that the diet IS a good one and IF FOLLOWED CORRECTLY can lead to large amounts of weight loss, stabilization of malfunctioning metabolic issues, lowered sugar and better insulin response, muscle gains, and improved levels of triglycerides and cholesterol. I am already down on my diabetes meds by half.

I am never hungry. I don't have cravings. I am happy "dieting" and it is not a struggle to maintain. It really isn't a "diet" as much as a way of eating. I have bacon and eggs and heavy cream in my coffee for breakfast. I have 3 chicken wings with the skin, full fat blue cheese dressing, and 4 cups raw spinach for lunch. I have 6 ounces of steak on grill with fat attached, 4 cups romaine lettuce, 3 tbsp. full fat caesar dressing, half an avocado, and kalamata olives for dinner. On occasion, if I have not used my limited three packets of Splenda in my morning coffee, I whip up 4 TBSP of heavy whipping cream and add a sprinkle of sugar free flavored gelatin in to make it fruity or flavored.

Is that a diet? I call that eating. But, the trade off is that there is no 30 minutes on the treadmill and that is all the exercise you get. I did 20 miles on a bike today. You have to move and you have to stay in Ketosis. Being in Ketosis means that you have to do the exercise needed to burn off the "Ketones" so that they do not build up in your body. For me, it is just a plain way of eating.

Hello! Me too I have more than 100 pounds to lose. I am going to be 49 next month and want to be a hot 50 year old. I am so glad to have found you all! Thanks for this wonderful site!

Yeah man! enjoying the positivity! I've always struggled to do it the healthy way too, trying it now though! Here's to it! 22 yrs old in England

Hey There!! I also have about 100 lbs to lose. I am also a mother to two children and I'm 26 years old! I could really use the inspiration! and support.. I don't really have anyone in my life that I can talk to that understands any of this!

Hi! I had 125lbs to lose, I'm down almost 50. I'm 26 with two little girls.

Stick me in here too! Mother of two, 32, goal is 100, down 25 so far. When I lose that hundred, we may talk about 15 more!

I'm in for new friends! I've got 160-180 total to lose, and would love to have friends with similar goals!

My metabolism sucks I've always struggled to loose weight, unless I was starving myself. I hope I can do it this time around the healthy way! We can do it! I'm from rhode island.

Rhode Island is my hometown, though I live in Minnesota now. I also have over 100 lbs to lose.

You can do it if you set your mind to it! Wishing all of you good success!

Feel free to add me! I have no idea how being friends on this website works, but I'll be there for support once I figure it out lol! I too need to lose 100 pounds (where did it come from?! Ahhh!) and have two kids plus college full time so I really slacked... but I just realized how unhappy I am with my weight and need motivating. I've lost 52 pounds through hard exercise and diet after my second pregnancy through this site before, but it came back plus some after. I have that "I feel and think I am physically healthy in my mind, but my mirror lately has it out for me
