Update: So I had a really good day yesterday. BPC for breakfast. For lunch a scrambled egg with cream cheese and green chili and chorizo with fiesta cheese. For dinner I ate 2 pork loin chops 4.2 oz dipped in almond flour and fried in olive oil with a small serving of broccoli cooked with butter. For my early afternoon…

I would say I lost about 15-18 pounds. The past 4 weeks I probably have lost 5-8 pounds. Total I have lost 23 in 11 weeks.

I am totally in for this. 5'7 CW 131.9 GW 130 I am contemplating lowering my goal weight but for now I will keep it at 130. I did take a few measurements. The numbers are lower than they were. Hip 37 Waist 29 Chest 36 (sad my boobs are disappearing) Pant line 35 (wear my jeans sit)

Ha. I can't imagine 30 oz of coffee. I drink like 4 oz of coffee with a tbsp of MCT oil and a splash of cream. It definitely does not affect me that way. I contribute that to my meds though.

Man this is why I love this forum. I never thought of hwc and butter in the same boat. I use the cream because I can barely stomach the coffee as it is. I can't imagine black. I am learning though. Maybe tomorrow I will add less cream just to give it a try. One of these days I will get use to the coffee again. The mct oil…

You know I snack on nuts and pepperoni. I find that drinking BPC I the morning, eating some eggs mixed with green chili and cream cheese and some bacon and or chorizo for lunch holds me over until I eat dinner which is typically a lean meat and a tiny bit of veggies. I almost always eat some form of eggs with high fat meat…

I originally had a goal weight of 135. Once I reached it I changed it to 130. I am at 133 and have made the same decision as you. I am trying to switch my focus now on toning up. I did put about 1.5 pounds on in the last week and a half but my son and I indulged quite a bit. I suspect that will drop. I am really wanting…

Hi there-- I am a full time college student, an intern and a mother to a 10 year old boy. I know exctly how it is to be super busy all the time with school and kiddo. I am on a 1100 calorie lchf diet. I am real close to my goal weight. I have 3 pounds to go. I suspect these will be the hardest to lose. Add me if you would…

Dang I don't even put the butter. Just 4 oz of coffee, tbsp of MCT oil and a small shot of hwc. You think that makes a difference that I don't add it?

@reblazed thank you. This actually sounds pretty interesting. @KnitOrMiss ypu know I didnt add any hwc or almond milk to it. Maybe that would have made it more like I cream for us. Thanks for the heads up on the flours. I will have to make room in the fridge for them.

I love to cook but I have never been a baker. I have bought both almond and coconut flowet. My boyfriend used the almond flour once. I also bought flaxseed. Just haven't done anything with them. You know my son is not a cookie and cake eater. We both love ice cream. He actually asked me this morning how to make ice cream.…

I have struggled with this myself. I typically lean towards leaner meats. I just continue to try my best. Now I eat more bacon and chorizo. I add mct oil to my coffee and use olive oil when I cook. I have also found myself snacking on pepperoni and cracklins. I struggled with finding an AS that I liked also. I now use…

@erinseattle yeah I did so good in the beginning then I started messing up. Now it is full blown out of control. Started with constantly indulging in easter candy and now it is those dang reeses. I wish I had someone to do this with. I know it shouldn't matter but it is always nice to have someone who is working it with…

@KeithF6250 Totally fitting if I could just get back up. Thanks for that. :D

Woohoo! Congrats. That is so incredibly amazing. Super happy for you. Thanks for sharing.

Bump.

Wow you all are so awesome. I wish I had it in me to just eat meat and eggs basically. Even though I have been eating a ton of eggs and chorizo with green chili and cream cheese. My new go to fav when I am making food for just me. I look forward to reading about your successes this month.

I wish just putting it out of sight worked for me. It does prevent me from getting to it in the middle of the night but it does nothing for me when I am awake. I just want to start slowly throwing it in the trash. uugghh!!

I really appreciate all of you. I have really been stressing how important it is to eat healthy food. I am not going to take everything from him. I like the statement someone said.. about if I wouldn't eat it why would I give it to him.. I have in the past allowed my boyfriend to cook something for the two of them that I…

Just spoke with my boyfriend who has the worst eating habits ever. He tells me he bought hamburger helper for him and my son to eat (you see he did not include me ). I told him Elijah isn't eating that crap. He says well I don't know what to make anymore. I told him meat and vegetables. I wish I could get him on board with…

Wow.. Thank you.. It is the hardest job ever and the most rewarding one I could ever imagine. I think we learn as we go. If I have the opportunity to make a difference in how he feels about himself I want to be sure I take it.

@kshama2001 I am guilty of it as well. Lately I have been increasing the weight as much as I can handle. I know stuff that I use to fly through before has been a bit more challenging. It is really crazy how much harder it is after being out for 10 months. I really want to continue to push myself.

@Dragonwolf Not sure what to say about the estrogen. I just know when they put on weight they do so in their chest as well. His butt us not a result of fat. He has a nice firm bubble butt just like his father. A butt I wish I had. If he is not playing football he is doing wrestling. This summer we will,be in florida. So he…

@nakedraygun I would like to believe that I have muscles. I feel like I am getting stronger. I am just following the advice that said I need to find a program to follow instead of doing it on my own. I just want to do the most effective exercises. I have received so much valuable information the past 2 days. I appreciate…

Yes those definitely look doable for me. I think it is excellent for me to start with. I feel a lot better now. I think there was two post that had simple programs I can do. Plus I was able to look up everything that I wasn't sure about.

What does that mean?

I think it important to point out that I am not looking to bulk up in anyway. Just tone up.

Thank you everyone. I just want him to have self confidence. He gets upset when clothes dont fit. He calls himself fat. Which he is not. He has some little boobs which is something the men in my family havee when they have weight on them. That child was blessed with his daddys plump booty. I tell him all the time girls…

@aggelikik Thank you. I have gone through and looked up videos of all of them. I have attempted to do the inverted rows. I couldnt even lift myself up once. I cannot do pullups without assistance yet. I am really trying though. What if I want to work out more than two days a week? I like to workout 4 to 5 days a week at…

@nlwilliams60 I actually seen two people doing this today. The lady was only doing it with a 20 pound barbell. Would it be ok if I start at that weight?
