Aged cheeses have been my favorite lately. I have this 18 month aged gouda that's just incredible. I weigh out an ounce just to snack on and it looks like so much. Aged cheeses have this wonderful crystal-like crunch in them too.. so texture and flavor together makes them so satisfying to me.

This is a great post. I've been thinking about rewards lately too! My original idea was to buy myself some non-food rewards for hitting certain weightloss benchmarks: Going to the hair salon after 10 pounds. New shoes at 20. Maybe a dress for getting out of the 300s. But as I thought about it, weightloss itself is a…

This is going to be a big week for me eating dinner at restaurants (with birthdays and night conferences) so that's at the forefront of my mind. I have a game plan for a lot of different restaurants. If I can, I look at menus in advance. I know ny coworker wants Mexican food this week, so I found a nice steak I can have on…

I adapted most of my old recipes to be more keto friendly. I still make chili, I just don't put the beans in. I still have taco Tuesday, I just have taco salads now. When I'm craving Italian food, I'll make meatballs parm, or unbreaded chicken parm. I use almond flour to make fried chicken tenders. I browse Pinterest a lot…

Hey all! I posted this to another thread, but I'm definitely looking for more friends who ate doing Keto! I did it long term for about 2 years and lost over 100 pounds. Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon and gained most of it back while dealing with some heavy emotional stuff. It seems crazy to me that that was 4 years…

Welcome back to Keto! I'm also getting a fresh start with Keto. I did it long term for about 2 years and lost over 100 pounds. Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon and gained most of it back while dealing with some heavy emotional stuff. It seems crazy to me that that was 4 years ago! Since then I spent a period of time…

Hey all! I've been here before, but went away for a while when I was trying to juggle trying a couple of different apps. I did Noom for a while, but it was too expensive. Then I did Weight Watchers but didn't think it did anything for me that MFP doesn't do. Anyway, it's been long enough that reintroductions are needed.…

Challenges would be fun! I usually do pretty terribly at them, but they get me to do more steps than I usually do. This past week, my steps have been low. The heat index has been over 100 degrees here in NJ. My husband looked ot up and found the "feels like" temperature was hotter than Tucson AZ today. My email address is…

Yard work is a great workout! I garden mostly. I used to do all the lawn mowing before my allergies got really bad. I think the Fitbit share button just shares a pic of your front screen. I'll have to look and find out how to friend. All of my friends right now on it are just from my Facebook contacts.

Ugh, guys. It's so hot out. I've been staying in as much as possible, but my legs are aching for a walk. I floated in a pool yesterday. Today I went grocery shopping, but I'm still feeling cooped up and restless. I got bored with doing laps around the house. I don't usually mind the heat, but I'm annoyed with it messing up…

This time around, I've changed up a few things: -I'm weighing myself everyday to make it part of my routine -I switched from a strict keto diet to a more standard calorie counting diet -Well...I'm here talking it out! That's different. I usually keep my journey pretty internal, which is okay. But when I have setbacks, it's…

I was just thinking of posting something exactly like this. I'm just restarting my weight loss journey, but I'm committing to weighing in daily. I used to do it once a week, but it was so discouraging if that happened to be a day I was retaining water. I'd rather weigh every day and watch the trend line over time. And yes,…

Hi everyone! This is probably my billionth time restarting weight loss, but I feel like my mindset is in a more committed place right now. My last big successful diet was 2 years ago when I did keto. After some emotional setbacks, I just couldn't get recommitted to that diet, and I want to do something more sustainable for…

I'm not familiar with Beck, but what you said about the psychology aspect sounds really interesting. You'll have to update us on how that is working out for you. I kickstarted my diet with a free trial of the Noom app last week. I liked the psychology articles and motivating messages, but just wasn't thrilled enough with…

I'd fall in this category! I've yo-yo dieted in and out of the 300s, and I'm definitely looking to have a more solid game plan this time around. I think I'm making more sustainable life choices, but I would like to be part of more of a support network that gets where I'm coming from (and who are in it for the long term…

Hi! I'm in the same boat as you, and also have over 100 pounds to lose. Like you, I don't really need advice, but I do want some friends so we can cheer eachother's successes together! I'll be in this for the long haul. Anyone else that needs an accountability friend, let me know and add me too.
