I think that even when people care about us, they can tend to say things out of jealousy - even when they don't realize it themselves. When you try hard and accomplish something like losing a ton of weight, there is going to be the part of other people that thinks, "I wish I could do that," and then they may make excuses…

I have read things about keto being dangerous for some people, and potentially causing long term damage. I never see anything about it here or in other forums? Does anyone know if this is a safe diet option, especially for someone in his or her 50's?

What is properly clothed to you? Do you mean not showing a midriff or full arms, or are you referring to the women in the photos? Those women are in bathing suits, not workout attire. While many people wear less clothing than they would normally to the gym, most are not too revealing. It gets hot in there though! Working…

I say drink as much water as you can, or whenever you are thirsty everyday. I have never felt bad from drinking more water, I don't really keep track of how much.

I think that you should go ahead and eat it. Next time you can buy something different if you are really worried about it.

Thank you for doing all the research for me :) I was wondering if you ever got/tried the samples? After going back and forth for a little bit, I have decided to give some samples of these a try before turning to anything prescription, but I was hoping to hear your feedback as well. I know that everyone is very negative…

I think it is a great idea, since that is prob what the Dr. may suggest first anyway. I would allow at least 2 weeks before introducing things back into your diet.

Someone posted this in another thread earlier and I found it interesting. I have always wondered about the real differences in cardio vs weight training for results. https://www.myliporidex.com/blog/weight_training_versus_cardio/

This is great, I have been getting bored with my plain old chicken breast and always looking for other good ideas to get my protein.

I have been looking into supplements because I do think they could help me, but have no idea where to start. What type of supplements do you use?

I have tried it, and I put all the dressing on the bottom and then layer something like tomatoes in the first layer to keep the lettuce away from it until I have a chance to eat it to keep it from getting soggy. I have only made them a night or two before eating them, so I can't say how well they would hold up if you were…

Helpful with results like weight loss or building muscle faster. I have been thinking about getting some protein and doing shakes because I know I need more protein, but I also need something to help me with energy for and my appetite throughout the day and do not want to take a prescription or anything unhealthy or…

Have you ever tried something natural to help you get more restful/productive sleep? Like Melatonin or Magnesium?

I also would not want to eat the same thing every day, even if it was chocolate! Or anything with sugar for that matter. It sounds like even if you did lose weight, there would be other repercussions.

What about supplements vs prescription diet pills? Has anyone tried any that they have found helpful with what they were already doing with diet/exercise?

I am new here too, happy to see how supportive everyone is! Good luck to you!
