Im after more than just a MyFitnessPal friend. I also have lipodemia and do the low carb way of eating. I would like a accountable buddy instead. What way of eating are you using and is that a idea for us to motivate each other. I'm based in Australia

nice to see this group pop up to the top of the list again

You are only 1 week into this. How long have you been overweight, and is only 1 week enough time to reverse it? Sadly this is not a quick fix, it is a lifestyle change. You may need to get fat adapted being many weeks before your body will react. I have constantly tweeked my carb grams over time to see how my body reacts.…

you look so much younger & happier. Im sure your self esteem has also risen. Love all the photos

shows years of building dedication yo our health pays off. thanks for inspiring me.

it depends what your choice is for your way of eating. Im low carb so Im on 30g of carbs. I think the Standard American Diet suggests 250g carbs.

My start weight is same as yours, and my body looked so so similar. Im only new to fighting for my health & did give up thinking it is my lot in life to be this big. But now Im starting to see success I know I dont need to accept it. Your story is inspirational, thankyou. You have given me hope. You look like a different…

You are worth it

I just typed in a long Post and pressed done button instead of post reply. I will start again. I have found weight loss is 90% food and 10% exercise. Get your food right and your body will love you for it and let you exercise naturally. I have read Dr Fung's book the obesity code , and he says exercise increases appetite.…

For such a young person to be so disciplined. You deserve every reward you get. Now Id say you have maintenance ideas to cover. Keep at it.

your dedication is paying off. You must feel so much better

keto works if we work on it. Well done.

I really needed to see your post. Was 96lb down, & got cocky thinking I had this, now eroded 25lb by putting it back on. Time to be greatful & mindful of my health & eating again. Thankyou.

over 3 years ago I gave up and thought my lot in life was I had to accept I will always be a big person. Then i gained 20lb in 6 months & walking started to be hard & it scared me, I didn't want to loose my mobility. So I looked for something different that I had never tried so I would get my health back. I was out of…

worth every day Im sure

love you are keeping it simple. Yes logging is the key as being focused. its done one step at a time, one decision at a time, and many days its multiple decisions multiple times of the day. Keep it up. Im 90lb down & 100 to go.

well done. all the hard work worth it.

bell pepper - has carbs & can be more than 50% of daily allowance. I only add a small amount for colour- wont do a stuffed pepper as too many carbs. Maybe the straw breaking the camels back

I shed 39kg over last 2 yearsbut put 8kg back on ... so back to the grind stone to not ruin all my achievement. We can do this!

I have just woke up from a terrible nights sleep. BP monitor reading kept failing during night due to inflation error. I must have lent on tube or had it twisted. When it failed it tried again within 1 minute.. my arm is so sore from the constant pressure. Im now teary and fatigued. Had 2 eposides yesterday of sweats &…
