  • I'd take outright hostile comments over "I love you in spite of your weight" and other such passive aggressive BS. At least you have something to push back on with hostile comments. Tell him you might be fat, but he's ugly and you can lose weight. :P good luck. Move out as soon as you can.
  • How much is there? I'll take any you don't want.
  • What "problem" exactly. He is in a healthy weight range. I hope you haven't told him he has a problem. He's a kid, leave him be. Put healthy food on the table, make it available in your house and teach him that chips and lollies and takeaway are a "treat" not an every day thing. That's all you need to do. Do NOT worry…
  • I did this for 20 years. I'd start over dieting every Monday. I'd last a day, a week, a month. Low fat calorie restricted diet but could never deal with the feeling of deprivation, of being just off the edge of hunger, but never full or satisfied. In between these spates of dieting I would eat huge bought lunch at work…
  • I work in an office of 130 people. It's always someone's birthday. There's always left over food in the kitchen. There's always a charity box full of chocolates. There's always someone wanting to go out for lunch for someone's goodbye. Then on the weekends there's my MIL who caters for 30 every time you pop in for a…
  • 99% of the time if I eat out it'll be a steak and side salad, or a Grill'd burger and I will always log. Occasionally (once every couple of months or so) I'll have a day like yesterday (Mothers Day) where we were visiting family and I was extra hungry from the 1000 calories worth of hiking and riding I did on Saturday so…
  • I'd believe this if one day you were 191 and the next morning you woke up at 174 - it'd take you a few minutes to adjust. But honestly, I've lost 90lbs over time and other than feeling fitter I have not experienced any issues like you describe - because it was gradual, I woke up each day a few hundred grams lighter (or…
  • I found these Soleil yogurts in the supermarket last week. 60 calories for 150g tub. They came in a 6 pack and they're ideal for that mid afternoon or after dinner snack. I'm in Australia but I'm sure you guys have something similar in your country. Check the labels.
  • Cheese is my favourite food in the world. It is also a crazy amount of calories for a small amount. When I started Keto and was on 1800 calories a day I could eat it a bit, but now that I'm on 1400 I almost never eat cheese, or bacon. Only time I'd eat it now is at the MIL's house for afternoon tea on a Sunday as it's…
  • No makeup, I'm too lazy for that. Just a rubbish picture. :D
  • I don't know hun. I think it's a mistake to think "If I was thin my life would be better". We are basically the same person, thin or fat. I admit I was rather disappointed to discover that my life is at times still the same day to day BS even though I've lost 90lbs. It didn't fix anything. Being lonely is tough. Meeting…
  • I have developed high iron in the last couple of years. No issues before. Donating blood apparently helps - which is what I've done. Unfortunately one of my favorite foods is steak :(
  • I've been Keto for 4 years and lost 90lbs. There are those who tell everyone you can eat all the fat on keto. But no, it's not true. You still need to eat at a calorie deficit to lose weight. The number 1 reason people fail at Keto (or Atkins) is because they believe that if they just count carbs (while eating all the…
  • Seems like a marketing post to me ... what are you selling?
  • This question does not make sense to me in the context of my comment above. I think you misunderstood what I wrote. To answer what I think you're asking, you're either in ketosis or you aren't - these strips may indicate you're in ketosis or they may not.
  • I don't know, I work in a small team of about 7. Every time someone gets a cold, has a distant relative die, goes on leave, moves teams, shows up to work on a Tuesday (you get the idea) there's a whip around to buy them a gift. Champagne (for engagements, there's been 2 of those), stationery, flowers, tea (the fancy loose…
  • I have just discovered skinny tzatziki and skinny hommus, and I picked up a new one today skinny capsicum dip - all made by Black Swan, have less than 1g carbs per serving and low cal - about 50 cals for 30g hommus and 27 cal for 30g tzatziki. I usually have low carb wraps, chicken, lettuce and either of the above and…
  • Please be aware that keto is great as it reduces your appetite, but you will NOT lose weight if you're eating too many calories (easy to do with all that fat). #1 reason why people fail at Keto and come back 3 weeks later complaining they're not losing weight - because they're eating too much. Unfortunately there's no…

  • Any trace of pink means your body is secreting ketones. Darker is not better, darker just means a) you're eating too much fat, and b) you're dehydrated. You can also be in ketosis and show negative as your body is using all of the ketones - the ones that spill into your pee are surplus. So they can have some value at least…
  • Habit in my household involves my OH getting up from the couch at 7:10pm every night and making a cuppa for both of us and grabbing a bag of chips, or nuts or some other such snack. We've always been evening snackers. Netflix, something to munch on, what else do you need? In the early days (I'm talking 4 years ago) I used…
  • Ooooh me too. Getting married in October :D
  • I have an iPhone 7 plus and an iPad and I can't see anywhere where you can put in a barcode manually.
  • I eat the little 200g tubs of cottage cheese as if it's yogurt. Either with chives and garlic (salt and pepper) or with cinnamon and vanilla and whatever 0 sugar sweetener I can tolerate the taste of.
  • I eat hot smoked salmon several times a week, but I really can't stand the skin, I peel it off and throw it in the bin. Funny when I cook salmon I always make it with a beautiful crispy skin also, and then proceed to leave the skin on my plate.
  • If you're eating low carb you need to make sure you're getting magnesium - a supplement will help (main symptoms are muscle cramps etc). The headache you are experiencing is due to lack of sodium. You need to have at least 3000-5000mg of sodium on a low carb diet. Drink some broth, eat a few pickles, salt your food -…
  • The internet - a dating site to be exact. He had been a single dad for 8 years - his marriage being so traumatic that he just didn't want to go there again (she was a closet junkie, abusive, got pregnant to another man, asked him to raise it as his own and then got an abortion when he said no). You can only imagine. I had…
  • Fruit is nature's candy. It has some nutritional value, sure. But it's also very high in sugar and calories and not ideal to eat all the time. Sugar is sugar - whether it comes from a banana or a chocolate bar. You can get the same nutrients from vegetables without overloading on the sugar.
  • My sons friends hit on me (they're 20 - 22yo) one of them even asked me for a picture of boobs for his birthday. They mean it in harmless fun though, not creepy - and I think it's more to wind my son up as boys do. I do get more attention now that I'm 90lbs lighter, and dress more feminine. It's just a fact of life. Men…
