ME!! Me!! Says the fat kid waiting for dodge ball picks. Pick me! :wink:

YOU look great! You are beautiful in both pictures. How did you lose the weight? Just calorie counting? @kadimcnair

I love this thread!!!! It lets me know I am NOT alone and that over 200 women are just as hawt as the littles. :) May 1 I was 275.5 Last Friday weigh in I was 242.9 Goal is to lose at a steady pace. Not to be too restrictive and just "move more, eat less"

[/quote The best advice I offer is to find a way of eating while you’re losing, that you could stick with in maintenance as well. If you truly enjoy the low carb approach that’s great, but there is nothing inherently bad about any carb containing foods (of any color) and that includes grains, dairy, fruits and…

Maybe so! I have it in my head that carbs are bad. All carbs. I rarely eat fruit. Very seldom if ever eat anything 'white'; no sugar, bread, rice, potatoes, or the like. I keep under 1350 a day as well. I do have the mentality of a low carber. But I also have the idea of being under calorie wise. I don't feel like I am…

That is interesting. I stayed okay on the calorie part. Only went over by about 500 calories total. Except what I ate was loaded with fat, carbs, and nothing really healthy. I was at a ball park and had things I don't allow myself normally; fried chicken with ALL the skin and breading, chicken fingers, fried apples,…

YAY FOR YOU!!! Pretty awesome. So what does your diet look like?

Can I piggy back off that question and ask how much of your food consumption is veggies a day?

I do both, simply because that is what has worked for me. I was on a low carb/keto plan for quite some time with very little weight loss. I thought I was doing everything right. Added the butter, oil, and bulletproof coffee. I loaded up on all things fat + protein. In short, I was eating way to many calories for my body to…

@pontious11349 I love this.... When I enjoy cake I simply make sure I go back to my clean diet straight after. No day long / week long / month long binges. Whats the catch: Well. You just need to be prepared to wait longer for your results. No massive drops in weight. Just a slow, steady, sustainable journey to the body I…

Good Morning! I too have cut out sugar for 90% of the time. Sugar in most forms: bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, as well as baked goods. However, I try to live by the 90 -10 rule. 10% of the time I allow myself to indulge. I find that carby foods make me feel bad, bloat me up, and make me crave more. The one thing I haven't…

I really do appreciate all of your input. It has been very helpful. Sometimes just talking it all out helps.

I personally want to be able to eat anything in moderation and with thought. I want to be healthy. I would like to get to a point in my life where food isn't the enemy nor is it a crutch. That I can enjoy any food group, within moderation, and not feel guilt for eating. I do believe there has to be a line where good…

I was doing Medi Weight Loss. We were only required to track protein in calories. The diet limited fats and other micronutrients to very bare minimums. When I said I was tired of tracking, that is what I meant. Having to worry about only have two tiny fats a day- such as a thumb size serving of nuts, or a teaspoon of olive…
