@Leoturi You need to move out on your own and surround yourself with positive, supportive people. Your sister is a negative influence that could affect your success. Let her deal with her own issues, including her kids. It's not your problem. Really. Continued success on your weightloss journey! :smiley: Michelle

@newmeadow All I was trying to say is that she is still a very intelligent woman. It was a compliment. I believe that, retired or not, she would still be a great friend to @AprilRN10 as she's been there, and understands the stress involved in nursing. I was not trying to convince @CharlieBeansmomTracey to go back into…

@katrinamc78 PS: I truly believe now that sugar is poison to our bodies. I heard Dr. Phil call it "the other white powder" once, and that is the absolute truth. Sugar is an addiction, and like any other addiction, it can be defeated. :wink: Michelle

@katrinamc78 I have arthritis, chronic back pain, bad hips, fibromyalgia, etc. I have found that adjusting my diet to cut out sugar and eat very low carbs, we're talking 20 net carbs or less, has significantly reduced my inflammation. I've lost 92 lbs (first eating low carb/no sugar, then on Keto since 6/2), and haven't…

Anything that makes you feel beautiful, like a new pair of earrings, a new hair style, a new shade of lipstick, etc. Never use food as a reward. It defeats the whole purpose. :smiley: Michelle

@nykole56 Hi! :) Everett, WA here! Feel free to add me as a friend! ;) Michelle

@CharlieBeansmomTracey Don't sell yourself short! ;) I used to be a Pharmacy Tech about 10 years ago, but I could walk into a Pharmacy today and still know all the meds, etc. You never forget! :) Michelle

@tiffany_yy PS: Add me as a friend, if you'd like. :smiley: We are all here to help each other! :wink: Michelle

@tiffany_yy Been there, done that a dozen times or more! LOL :smirk: I think most of us here have. Don't get discouraged! Get determined! I started yoyoing after a weight loss of 86 lbs, so I decided to take control and shake things up. I started Keto, and have lost 15.6 lbs since June 2nd! :smiley: No matter what you…

@AprilRN10 Contact @CharlieBeansmomTracey She is a former RN who was very helpful to me with my Keto diet. She provided me with a lot of important info. She's a super nice gal! :smiley: I think she'd be a great friend to have on your journey! :wink: Wishing you great success! :smiley: Michelle

@sumkay02 That's awesome!! :) Everybody's body is different, so don't base your success on the amount of other people's losses. You are doing an amazing job!! :D Keep it up!! ;) Michelle

@happilybrad Dude, pull those shorts up a little! :#

Definitely a Girls Night Out date. :smile: Just a couple of cougars on the prowl! :wink:

@lillymb06 I think that you can see when I'm online, and you can send me a friend request that way. Maybe go to the help section. They probably have info there. Sorry, I am new to the community social thing too! :wink: I look forward to hearing from you! :smiley: Michelle

Hello Everyone! :smiley: UPDATE: As of 6/10/2017 I have lost 14 lbs! That's 14 lbs in 8 days on Keto! I absolutely love this diet! Take care! :smiley: Michelle

@CharlieBeansmomTracey LOL, me too! :smiley: I've noticed that quite a few YouTuber's do voice overs. You don't even have to be on camera. A lot of people film the websites they're on, and simplify the information that's on them. I'd tune in! :wink: Have an awesome day! :smiley: Michelle

@chena_212007 YouTube has some great channels: Keto Connect, Headbanger's Kitchen, Butter Bob Briggs, Goody Beats, and many more. They offer tips, recipes, and important information. Also, check out the Wicked Stuffed website. Lots of Keto friendly recipes. :wink: Let me know if you try it. Good luck! :smile: Michelle PS:…

@AriesGal329 Absolutely! Most overweight people, including myself, blame their fat for everything that's wrong in their lives when, in actuality, we use our fat as an invisible shield to keep ourselves protected from failure and disappointment. You don't have to start dating. Just go out and have some fun! ;) You need time…

@jenbuttercup I am currently on Keto with great success. Add me too, if you'd like. :smiley: Michelle

@Crystalscoops Those chairs in class can't be helping the situation much. Try getting a back friendly cushion to use while you're there. :smile:

@jferris91 There are plenty of groups on here to join. Check some of them out to find people of like age and motivation. :smile:

@Ajocal18 Sounds like you need to mix things up a little. Have you thought about Keto and Intermittent Fasting? I am having great results! 12.4 lbs in 5 days! :smiley: Believe me, it"s worth looking into. :wink: Michelle

After ready these comments, I am definitely heading to Denver on my next vacation! :smiley: Michelle

@erinjpark I will definitely check out your channel! :wink: Best of luck on your journey! :smiley: Michelle

@mcbrainder I was just like you, and still have my moments. I'm an emotional eater. I eat to fill an emptiness inside. I have lost 89 lbs since March 2016, with a very large yoyoing period after I had reached an 86 lb loss. I just started Keto on 6/2/2017, and have already lost 12.4 lbs. You may have great success on this…

@Appeysappeys I started the Keto diet on 6/2/2017 to break a yoyoing cycle after an 86 lb weight loss, and by 6/7/2017, I had lost 12.4 lbs! :smiley: Feel free to add me as a friend, if you'd like! :wink: Michelle

@lillymb06 I started Keto on 6/2/2017, and by 6/7/2017, I had lost 12.4 lbs! So far, I love it! I weigh in tomorrow, and can hardly wait to see where I'm at. :smile: Feel free to add me as a friend, if you like. :wink: I have lost 89 lbs total so far, and still have 55 lbs to go, so I know exactly where you're coming from.…
