Thank you so much! I'm not diabetic I was just gestational diabetic with my first pregnancy but not my second, and the know it all clinic basically promised me that I would be actually diabetic in the next 10 years (that was four years ago) and I admit it's something I'm concerned about. The technician was not happy about…

My 1 year mark in this lifestyle was actually yesterday(75 lbs down!!!) but I take planned 'breaks' when we are on vacation and have the occasional (and I mean OCCASSIONAL, like every few months) day where I go off track without beating myself up :) for example I'm going to a wedding July 31 and while I could easily stay…

Loved it! Made it with frozen broccoli and cauliflower last week, making it with fresh steamed broccoli on Monday.

My hubby lost 50 lbs in about 3 months and then slowed dramatically (though he left low carb at 3.5 months as he found it difficult with the p90x3 program he started). He went to his dr after losing 20 lbs the first 2-3 weeks and did get his Drs blessing.

I still do boxed cake mixes (with milk, olive oil, and eggs) regularly for work/family events. I make the buttercream icing from scratch though and I don't eat any!

Chicken Caesar is my go to when eating out, and when I make pizza I do oopsie rolls with some parm and Italian seasoning in the batter, bake them for 15 min, top them with pizza toppings, and bake them another 15 min

I hear what you're saying (hubby teases bc I won't grab a handful of something, I weigh or count, claims it's borderline eating disorder but he doesn't mean it) , but this is the first time in at least 6 years I've been happy with my body so I guess it's ok!

Congrats!

I eat avocado frequently but berries etc., never. I might start the occasional strawberry or two with hwc in the summer, organic raspberries are a favourite too but I haven't indulged the 8 months I've been doing this except the day my boss bought me about 2 cups of strawberries at a surprise event and I was obligated

If I kick myself out of ketosis it takes at least 4 days for the weight to drop, even if I feel like I was back in faster (I had 5 small bites of cheesecake on Valentines day and it was enough to throw me!).

Aren't they cute? I didnt add the strawberries on mine, still avoiding fruit 99% of the time. I also used bottled lemon juice instead of freshly squeezed which I bet would make it even more amazing!

This is my hubby's favourite, but it isn't quite on the mark for me. (If this doesnt work, type "Dana Carpender Not Your Mamas Meatloaf" into google - she previews it from her cookbook. BTW - our absolute favourite keto cookbook, worth buying!)…

Perfect, thank you!!! That's what I was hoping. I dont mind not weighing in for a month (so I'm not disappointed to see my weight loss stall), I just dont want to be dropping time into strength training if it is futile.

I enjoy hitting the button and seeing it guess, but I've never actually checked to gauge the accuracy.

Our kids went for their first sleepover, so we went out for dinner (I had the spinach dip for an app, ate it with a fork!, 10 oz prime rib with mixed veggies and a salad) but it came with dessert (Chocolate torte and a white chocolate cheesecake, predetermined menu). I figured I could afford a couple of bites and would…

Awesome, congratulations!

Amazing job! I'm jealous of your arms, your skin has recovered gorgeously!

I've done the brain octane and the xct and don't have a noticeable difference between the two, but continue to use it anyway.

I kicked myself out of ketosis for almost a week at Christmas, but didnt have a horrific transition when I started this in July so I wasnt expecting the worst of things. NOPE, I was exactly as you described. The flu/fog was much worse and I had THREE days like that (not in a row either, one day on one day off...). It's…

You look AMAZING and even better, you've embraced a healthier lifestyle. Great work!

Everyone has different opinions of what looks attractive (and healthy, even if it's wrong!). Somestimes its generational or even cultural. My MIL genuinely thinks fat people are healthier than thin people, comments like "my cousin was your size and lost 50 lbs, she's ugly now" come out all the time when she sees me now. It…

I'm guessing 12-14 months. I'm 6.5 months in and down 63 lbs, looking to lose 110.

Please post a pic!

Yes but I'm sure mine is loose skin. I expected it on my waist, arms etc., but my inner thighs are starting to droop which I wasn't anticipating - especially when I still want to lose another 50 lbs!

Fantastic! That is so awesome!

I've had a few digital scales that have been horribly inaccurate (like weigh yourself 3 times in a row, and see if they are the same each time). We gave up because they were very expensive and we couldnt trust them. We weigh in on our wii fit balance board and I LOVE that it keeps track in a chart. Even if I back out as…

I used to hate natural PB. I mean, bought a jar, tried it, and tossed it in the garbage. Since going keto I find it PERFECT, and absolutely love it.

Thats awesome!

I'm months and months in and still have this. I usually keep my protein around 70-80g, maybe I'm a smidge too high but it is awful. I suck sugar free mints all day and swish mouthwash at least once. I train people at my desk all day and am horribly self conscious about it, I hear you! Hubby says I'm overreacting, but I can…

Fantastic transformation, your friends and loved ones must be floored!
