Today, I am 17 pounds lighter than I was at the beginning of this. I actually am 246, down from 263 about a year ago. This is hard but doable. Much work needs to be done.

@dustyspal I will keep on working at it. I just have a hard time, I either go over my calories, or it's not enough calories. I enter in my dinner later, because I never know which of my parents are cooking. Then I fill it in when getting ready for dinner. That is the largest hitter on my blood sugar because it seems like I…

Truth... I am having a really hard time keeping things going. I am 270 pounds and would love to get back to my exercise weight (which is 145). I want to bike, run, and speedwalk. All without my shins hurting from impact. Tracking daily, and keeping track of my blood results from both leukemia (test every 3 Months) and…

I am embarking on the journey for the third time. I didn't do it right the first time, used low-carb cookbooks with weird ingredients the second time, and here I am a third time, with recipes on Pinterest. I just hope they work out, to let me lose weight. Many of the days on this Ketogenic Diet, do not have butter. Many of…

SunAriel1, I figure the fit test is my goal. I start water walking at the local rec center tomorrow. We'll see how I do with the non-pressure on my knees. It's why I chickened out last time. Laupepa5: No doubt. I am a more solid person, now that my sons have passed on. I was a wreck, but I never cried. I'm not about to…

I sent this a bit of a while ago. Thank you lilly. It's good to see that it is possible. I figured that I would work on the fit test until it becomes easy, then I will do the main program. What's funny is that there are all these fit people doing the exercises. But I will never forget the guy in the fit test. He wasn't…

My number one goal is to get rid of the damned shin splints.... So walking for me!

I was on keto for a month, and it was making me sooooooo tired. I slept and slept and slept. I finally started reading Joe Friel's 'Your First Triathlon'. It said that during training and the race itself, that carbs are required, as well as fats to make the machine that is your body, to work the way it's supposed to. Keto…

I agree. Calories are the definer of things. I did keto for about 2 weeks off and on, and nothing. It's not sustainable. I did not lose a single pound, except for water weight. Not to mention, I have my calories set up to where they are almost even each meal. That include snacks. I was also lethargic from the low carb…

I've never heard of the Zombies 5K program! Does it say 'Braaaaaaaains!' at the end? I'll have to check it out. I listen to Podrunner. It's cool. Works for me.

I am 120 away from goal. Go ahead and friend request me, and I'll add you!

I was an addict once... Nearing my 10th year sober in December. I have gained over 100 pounds because of stopping it. I, like everyone here, was at such a low point in their lives. I was ashamed of what happened to me, and I couldn't tell my parents because I would have ended up in rehab. I had to go through it all alone,…

Dave Matthews Band, and James Horner music.

Woooooohoooooooo!

Awesome to hear! Gives hope to those of us that are trying to get ourselves together again

SW: 231 GW: 225 1: No coffee, except for Fri, Sat, Sun (family ritual - My mother would be disappointed, and no one disappoints their mother! lol). 2: At or under carbs (20, since on Atkins induction). 3: Practice repeatedly that food is not the centerpiece of my life. That food is fuel. Nothing more. 4: Exercise - Sun to…

I needed to hear this today. I always went ahead and stopped each time I 'messed up' my low carb plans by carbing out. 'I'll start again next week', was a common saying when I messed up. Number 7 hit home. Fantastic letter! Just what I needed to hear.

How do you guys do it? I *have* to eat meat (expected by family, or major ridicule I can't handle), until I hope to move out. Makes me gag. And for some reason I am becoming militant about it. But I have to keep it from everyone. I wasn't always this way. I was the 'live and let live' type, until recently. Sorry to hijack…

Thanks!

Congratulations!!! So good to see inspiring people!

Being diagnosed with diabetes at 16 or so... I lost 100 pounds in 2003-2004, but it didn't stick. I gained the weight back because I thought I was 'safe' eating eggs and bacon (6 slices a day), since hey... I had the metabolism, right?!?! My body said 'Screw that!' So I started that, and eating ice cream everyday... my…

Meal planning is what I do too. I went to the store yesterday, and only bought stuff on the list. I now have stuff for the rest of the week. Planning is easy peasy once you get it planned out and on the grocery list.

I'm new here also... been tracking for over a month, but not active on the boards. I need to change that. I am going to put my daily stuff on the diary I have here! We'll see how things go...I am severely lacking motivation. Let's get to it!
