Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! You can do this and you're welcome to add me as a friend.

You've been there before. You know what it takes to get there. You can do this!

With the right 'why', we can endure almost any 'how'. Let us fix this 'why' in our minds and use it as a beacon to light our path in the darkest of hours. What is your 'why'?

I've tried Keto as well and found that it works but was not a sustainable lifestyle choice. Sooo...I'm back at it with a more balanced set of macros and a different mindset. Let's do this!

You're welcome to friend me! I have another 50 pounds to burn through, so we can walk together!

Good morning and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome to MFP! This is a great community that provides a LOT of encouragement and support and I think you'll be very happy to have joined. I know I have!

Hello right back atcha! There's a couple videos that have been posted that address this very thing. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPmXlLQLtVU Good Luck! :)

Hello! You're welcome to add me if you like. I have a diet and fitness plan and I'm following it. The diary is open but it's regimented and doesn't vary much. Works for me. :) However, if it's the variety you're after, I'm not a good MFP for you. Good luck!

Congratulations on kicking bad habits and resolving to form new ones! :)

Welcome to the community! :)

Same for me. I have a plan and am working it. Patience, patience, patience... :) You can do it!

Add me! I'd be happy to join you on your journey!

Good Morning! Male resident of the Sunshine State! (FL). I'm getting back into shape and have chosen Rucking to boost my walking workouts. I'm not a runner. A walking/marching pace is more my style. In flatlands, I'm hiking trails at about 25 minutes per mile. I'm new to the activity and would like to learn from and share…

Non-Scale Victories are a BIG DEAL! Congratulations!

Good Morning Everyone! :) The morning walks are always beautiful but getting COLD! I had to break out my old watch cap yesterday. Not quitting, though. I've got places to go and promises to keep! <3 ;)

Peanut Butter. I cannot have it in my home. It is only a minor exaggeration to say that a single-serving size is whatever size container I would be foolish enough to buy and bring home.

Are you living a life of denial or of choice? If LCHF feels like denial for you then you're going to run out of steam sooner or later and go off plan and transition into maintenance. Nothing wrong with that, per se. However, if you don't have the tools/skills in-place for your maintenance plan then it's possible you're…

We lived too far apart and she didn't want to fall in love with a man who was soooo far away...

Thanks for the article reference, I hadn't heard that dairy could be problematic. More reading up for me! I've chosen high fat cheeses, like brie, when I choose dairy. It's made from the cream almost exclusively and is very keto-friendly, IMO. Another favorite is blue cheese. I'd stay away from the part skim versions for…

New to Keto but have read it through, like what I'm hearing and have begun. Please feel free to add me as your Keto friend!

Hi there! Getting a workout buddy is a definite help (accountability partner and you can feed off of each other's enthusiasm) ...BUT... The gym might not be for you...or running...or swimming. Doesn't mean you're never going to be in the gym, but it might mean that you need to find what it is that you can fall in love with…

Hi! Welcome to our little community and congratulations on taking that first step! My journey started about a hundred pounds ago, so I can relate. If you want a buddy to cheer you on and help with your motivation, please add me. Good luck!

Strongly agree with the reframe suggestion. We have only so much willpower, and restraining yourself from eating sugary snacks by denial and willpower is just doomed to fail...we just don't have the infinite strength to keep saying no. Sooner or later, that "no" is going to turn into a "yes". Try not to think of this as…

I'm sure you're beautiful at the size you are right now. How about letting that sink in, then look for other reasons to motivate your weight loss? Why not focus on being healthy and active, perhaps pick an activity or sport and get passionate about that instead of fixating on your clothes size? Try to fall in love with…

Add me! Add me! I'm relatively new to the keto lifestyle but am reading lots of good stuff about the practice, have started on it and it's done some good for me. I would LOVE to have more Ketogenic friends to share stories and get support for because I still have lots of questions.

Weight maintenance with strength training...heavy, compound exercises is the way to go. Gotta second that starting strength recommendation from Mike bc lifting safe is paramount and Rippetoe teaches technique. A good reading reference with humor is The New Rules of Lifting by Alwyn Cosgrove and Lou Schuler. Great stuff!

Hi Caroline! Welcome to our community! You're on the right track to be looking for friends! Very important, I find. You're welcome to add me if you like (but I'm from the USA...not sure if that matters to you or not).
