@janejellyroll Ok, I'll try to be more patient and get a handle on things.

All I know about keto, fasting, dieting comes from my ex. He taught me everything. I listened to him and he's the reason why 2 years ago I was at 150lbs and got down to 112. But because my family, YES, my own family made fun of me for being 'too thin', I ate myself BACK to around 145lbs and have only in the last 5-8months…

@janejellyroll The longest I gave it was a month, then I hit about 135 and I couldn't lose anymore. Then I had a cheat day and had to start things back up again. This has happened off and on for months now, and it seems like it's hard for me to lose any past 128lbs, but so far I have gotten past that and I'm at 125lbs.…

@rabbitjb I want to hug you and give you a crown for saying that to me. That's all I wanted to hear...just a suggestion. I can't lose weight by eating past 20 carbs. This is just a body fact about myself. If I slowly lose, then so be it. But I have tried losing weight by eating what I wanted IN moderation and it never…

Where am I getting all this nonsense? Ok, page turner here, but from an ex of mine. He does intermittent fasting and was doing low carbs. He isn't doing as low of carbs anymore because he's bulking now. He's very healthy, very fit and looks amazing. I adopted this mindset, and have more than once questioned it. Ok? Truth's…

@quiksylver296 Not to be rude, but that depends how much you weigh currently. Example: If I weighed 200lbs and all I ate was pizza and ice cream, then I'd expect to lose some but not hit my goal weight of say 130. Because after a while my body will start to maintain according to what I am eating.

@nickylee76 I didn't say any of what I was eating was healthy. I'm just saying it's all I have, and I need alternatives.

Listen, I've tried this diet both ways. The food I put into my body absolutely DOES not work if let's say I eat pizza and candy within 1200 calories. Carbs alone won't make us fat, it's the carbs and fat mixed together that makes weight armageddon.

@stevencloser So it's really a problem if I'm doing all I can within my power to try to eat healthy and stick to working out? I asked for suggestions on something to replace butter because I know it isn't something I should continue to do. I don't have the money to do everything 100% correctly :( Not my fault.

@janejellyroll Because I honestly feel full. And eating straight up bologna with no bread isn't very tasty. Eggs...not sure how to explain. Just the taste, but i'll manage to get it in. I wouldn't consider myself a picky eater at all, but when dieting gets involved you have to be sometimes.

@TavistockToad This isn't about eating things I don't like. Not at all. It just so happens that the things I like are not healthy for me and won't help me lose weight. I DO eat some things I like. It's just repetitive and gets boring. I also will have cheat days, so no big deal.

I have no problem eating, hello? I wouldn't be overweight if I did. I'm trying to avoid things I know that do not help me lose weight. Like pasta, breads, candy, chocolate (I LOVE). I have no issues with veggies, especially broccoli and green beans. @juggernaut1974 Come on dude, that was a total joke. XD

Thanks guys. I'm stuffing in a piece of bologna and fixing a scrambled egg. Let my gag reflexes commence.

Oh and one more question. When low carb dieting and intermittent fasting, are you supposed to get sick? Like more than once each time I start doing theses things I'll get sick at night and almost feel like I need to vomit while I'm trying to freaking sleep. Any solutions?

I'm also doing intermittent fasting. I have a 4 hour window period. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll just have to stick to 1000 calories til I can figure out something else. @janejellyroll I have hit plateaus before. It doesn't take 6 weeks for me, more like 2-3 weeks. It's why trying to get healthy, fit and eat well…

I'm 4 days back into low carb dieting and it seems that I'm already in a plateau! MFP says that I should be eating 1200-1500. Well everyday I'm only getting about 1050.

@TavistockToad Um...I did. It still isn't enough to bring up my calories.

My carb limit is 16-20. Most people can get by around 50, but I'm extremely sensitive to it. I don't eat toast, and my access to veggies is limited atm. It sounds gross, but it's not too bad. I just wish I didn't have to do it.

@deedapar That's awesome!! I've been doing HIIT off and on for 5-8 months. I also use FitnessBlender! Sadly, my results haven't been as great as yours, but I'm getting there.

Heavy whipped cream (like no carbs) and sugar that is very low in carbs.

This may be very helpful. I'm sorry this is happening to you. I suggest to take off your makeup when working out and start on a routine to counter act skin issues. http://www.realself.com/question/weight-loss-indented-acne-scars-worse

Same here, it's really irritating!

You've been a vegetarian since you were 8? Wa? You look perfect in your picture...but maybe try vegan protein powders?

It was Thanksgiving, allow yourself that. Just get back on track and forget the few days of 'cheat dieting'

I'm 125.5 atm and my periods seem to last longer since losing weight. Odd, right? Maybe once I get to my goal weight, it'll calm down.

I'll do another post later on talking about my progress. Both mentally and physically.

@Debbie_Ferr Thank you, Debbie. I really liked what you had to say. You made me feel more comfortable.

@vespiquenn Call it a complex relationship with myself. I'm trying to make myself better either way. Oh btw, I looooooove your hair!!

@kami3006 I disagree that I'll be unhappy at any weight. I'm going to give myself a better chance to eat better and not care what negative people I have in my life. I'm doing this for me after all. I'll get down to 115 again, and should be happy. I think I've come across as way too self loathing.

Plus, the one thing I do have going for me is the fact I have A LOT of muscle. My body's got potential, I just have issues getting there :)
