:) Woot woot!

Yay!

I would say it's definitely possible. I lost 7 lbs in one week without doing much other than keeping my carbs lower (10-15 net) and fat higher (more than 75%) and eating around 14-1600 calories. If you add some fasting in there as well then I'm sure you can drop even more in a week.

36 lbs down out of 130 so far. Feel free to add me.

Hopefully at some point she will realize what she's doing to herself.

I actually still have that excel file you sent me a while back, Dan. I'm gonna plug my numbers in for fun right now. :P

Wow, you look GREAT! :) I'm sure you can power through those last 40!

Oh yes, can definitely tell! Good work, keep it up! Eventually when you get to a certain point you will start seeing the results yourself. I have lost 34 out of 130 so far and I still see myself as oh so fat most of the time but I know it will keep getting better every day!

You look so great!!!! So inspirational. I have lost 34 of the 130 I want to lose so far and dang I hope I look as good as you when I get to 155! How tall are you?

I would definitely be interested in the brussels sprouts and bacon. Maybe I'll leave the acorn and butternut squash to my boyfriend, since he picked those out. I would be interested in the spaghetti squash and kielbasa bake for sure!

One more thing I forgot, portobello mushroom...Was thinking to make some kind of mini pizzas with them...

Not one bit. :)

YAY! Congrats!

That's what I had done with it before, was really good. My idea this time was to use the alfredo with it. :)

Initial weight: 251 lbs Goal weight: 145 Week 1 Weight: 248 Current weight: 241 Week 2 Loss: -7 Total Loss: -10 How did this happen? Woah. Yesterday I was sittin at 245 and I was happy that I was gonna have another 3 lb loss and then it turned into a 7 lb loss today! I knew something had to be happening because my clothes…

And mayo

Oh also I have Unsweetened Almond/Coconut milk blend and Franks Red Hot Original.

I wasn't suggesting that you eat starch, sugar, or wheat, just was giving some general info about what I have done to avoid cravings, and if you're not using any artificial sweeteners either then my bet would be too little fat. I had a hard time with that too for a bit. I had to Google some stuff to figure out how to get…

I second that! I have some ribs in the freezer to make and I gotta figure out a low carb sauce or something for them.

Oopsie rolls really have helped me with the transition to eating low carb. I think there are good uses for both them and MIM (which I have not tried, but sounds AMAZING!) for different situations. I like to use oopsies for buns on a burger or for a brat or something, anything where I would want some really soft, spongy…

Everyone has different definitions of low carb. If you like what you're eating, you feel good, and you're on the track you want to be...I personally feel like if it ain't broke don't fix it. I think that eliminating potatoes, other starchy stuff and wheat is a HUGE step in eating better, even if you're eating other things…

That's actually a good idea with all of MPF's various entry errors especially to check against the actual label. I would say that's actually quite crafty of you, Dan! lol

lol Yeah basically this. I TRY not to overthink it.

I just looked at your diary and got an idea of your macros. Personally, I'd try to go lower on carbs. I cut mine back to 25 net a day when I first started and I still don't go over that, and I make sure they're coming from veggies and not anything with wheat, starch or added sugar. Sugar cravings are hard to beat, so you…

I have no cravings. How many carbs are you doing?

MAYBE the initial weight loss was just more dramatic than before with CICO (pretty similar amount of cals/day, actually probably even lower than this time). I did that for about 3 1/2 months and lost 35 lbs, so about 10 a month. It's been not even a full two months that I've been on keto and lost 30, so pretty big…

That's wonderful! I will put in an update about it as things progress.

As far as shape change, it'll come. I lost a pretty significant amount of weight my first month, and it's been almost two now and I'm just noticing a more drastic change. I've lost 30 so far though. Not done a lot of exercise, but I have been limiting calories and eating low carb. Got rid of all my cravings, now I'm set…

Yes, it's wonderful how a diet change can really accelerate your weight loss! :) Congrats!

I can completely relate to all of that and I feel the same! I'm 5'7 1/2, started at 275 lbs, now down to 246 since Dec 22nd. :) I have made a lot of progress just by changing my eating habits and overhauling my diet. I went low carb, and that for me personally has made all the difference. Cutting out all the sugar and junk…
