  • I'm not sure this conclusion makes sense, Elsie. Sugar is not the only source of energy, for one - fat is also an efficient energy source. That's why the keto diet works at all. But your conclusion that cutting out carbs "is just not a good idea" doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Justifying why some carbs are good in…
  • I need some motivation too! This next month will be stressful and busy, so having a goal in mind will help me stay on track. I think a 5-lb goal is realistic for the next month. Let's do this! Goal weight by 8/31: 189 Sunday 08/05 Sunday 08/12 Sunday 08/19 Sunday 08/26 For those who like a complete month. Friday 08/31

  • YES to @PaulaKro - Keto doesn't do the work for you, at least it doesn't for me. It just makes it WAY easier to eat fewer calories than you burn. Even on days when I feel like I've splurged or overeaten a tad, when I log my calories, I see that I've only eaten in the 1300-1400 range most of the time. I am losing more…

  • Would anyone like to connect and help keep each other accountable? I am struggling HARD with motivating.
  • I am in the same boat, ladies!! Recently engaged and planning a wedding about 10 months away (fall 2015). I'm in desperate need of motivation with my hectic schedule and tendency to comfort myself with food at the end of the day. 27 pounds to go and I know that I can do it!
