Minnesota, USA also - lots of weight to lose and I've gone down 13 lbs in just over a month! I love this way of eating - first time eating the keto way. I took small steps to lower my carbs over time to just under 30 net g per day, so I think I avoided the flu?! I have more energy and am more focused than ever now.

I found on a site called beatcancer (dot) org, the following statement... "Cancer cells love sugar! That is why refined carbohydrates like white sugar, white flour, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and soft drinks are extremely dangerous for anyone trying to prevent or reverse cancer." That being said, I think you're…

Hi all! Feel free to add me - I'm mainly a desk jockey (office job), and have lots to lose - I'm at a good start though - 13 lbs in over a month's time. I log pretty consistently and my feed and diary are public so that's good accountability for me! Can always use more friends on the journey :smile:

Can I opt for asking for weightlifting pointers and getting buff with the person above instead? :D Love those abs!!!

I've been following a "lazy type" keto diet, and have lots of weight to lose. First big goal is losing 70 lbs. I've been keeping my net carbs under 40g per day (typical days are anywhere from 20-30g), and I've lost about 13 lbs in just over a month. Feel free to add me. For me, in general cutting my carb intake in smaller…

I went into a pilates (I think?) class with my mother in law once - had a similar experience, and overall felt pretty uncomfortable with the human shaped pretzels farting in the class. I mean, I was the only one that was trying to keep my composure, since I suppose I'm still immature enough to laugh at people farting. It…

Hi all! Reading all of your posts is so inspiring! I'm 29, soon to be 30 in December.. My heaviest was just last month, when I hit 350. It terrified me. I'm not new to dieting/new lifestyles, or exercising. I lost about 50 lbs from my then heaviest at 320, went down to 270, and was able to maintain for a few months until…

Desk jockey here - ad designer for a small marketing firm, 95% on the computer throughout the day. I get in on average about 8k steps a day now and sticking with getting more activity in! Also have lots of wt to lose. Feel free to add me :smile:

I found that just forcing yourself to (or what I called forcing), will at least get you in the door. I went to a few fitness classes and overall, everyone (mostly females) were really nice and basically were focused on the instructor rather than being judgemental. I didn't even get that judgemental vibe from anyone.…

I don't know if you are a fan of routine, but I sure wasn't until I sat down and thought about a usual day for myself. I actually started planning out my day and decided to stop eating after a certain time. Typically if you quit eating after (for example 6:30 pm) a certain time, your body will process the food you have put…

Hi enfolium, I have a similar weight loss goal in mind. My heaviest currently is 338, and I'm looking to be at 200 lbs as a long term goal, and then re-evaluate at that point. At one point back in 2012, I was able to go from 320 to 270 from November to February of 2013. I ended up derailing myself after February when my…

Please feel free to add me - I'm very much in need for some buddies to keep me on the staight and narrow with being accountable. It's tough at home not having the right support that you need. My support at home doesn't know how to really be supportive. I'm 5'8" and 339 lb, so my first goal is to get to 300, and take more…

After reading the article, it (meditating) seems interesting but difficult at the same time. How do you step outside and observe when sometimes you can't SEE the outside? It's a bad question, but valid anyway. I see the potential for positivity to come out of meditating this way though.

I think your topic isn't getting much in the way of reactions because different people see things differently. Mainly for me, I get a sense of satisfaction and comfort, like waking up snuggled in bed and warm. It's an instant gratification. That's why people refer to eating the way I do as an addiction I guess. I, like…

I think you're all looking into it too much. If you accept that you are in fact, a larger lady, then what is so offensive about him saying that you are pretty for a larger lady? For being a lady who's been HUGE for a good majority of their life, I usually shrug off any/all complements I get simply because I have a poor…
