They are marketed as helping you find the perfect jeans based on your measurements. For me that's not my primary focus- it's to get the measurements and track the changes. Also my "waist" is larger than my hips so in reality I wear skirts mostly anyway. I've tried using a tape- but I honestly suck at getting it in the same…

Excellent- thanks. That's what I thought but then seeing it broken out of the calculations made me question my understanding. I appreciate your help!!

Wanted to add that I usually just look at my Macros and call it a day.

I just tell people it's "leftovers" from my baby. They get embarrassed and all apologetic. I act like it doesn't bother me when in truth it makes me feel awful.

Yes! I'm not getting them for buying jeans but for weight/size loss tracking.

The Push: Having a dr. tell me I was too high risk due to uncontrolled blood sugar to have surgery to repair my abdominal muscles due to diastasis recti. Motivation 1: getting off T2D medications and controlling my Diabetes. -DONE !! 2: My kids- I want to be healthy so I can participate in our lives and not just spectate.…

Kraft has a "Real Mayo" that is 0 carb/serving. It was on sale yesterday and I picked some up.

This is a great group- glad to see you here!

I have one that connects to my iPhone. It a little pricy but I like it. $30-40 for the device $12 for strips - I think that's about right. ( I can have the strips sent in my monthly subscriptions from Amazon.

From what I read you are one tough woman. You got this! ;)

Yes- but it's backwards. I don't see myself as big and I am always shocked when I go to try on clothes and they are too small. I don't know why.

Sunflower seeds. That's my go to when I'm snacky. And cheese.

We have markdown areas in our stores. I always take advantage when I can. I got huge hams after the holidays for like $15 each. That's a lot of meat- delicious, delicious meat! Lol. I insisted on a large standing freezer in the garage when we moved into our new house. It's more than paid for itself in the year we have had…

CW 184.4

First: Best onzies EVER!!! Second: Do what you feel is right. You are not going to harm them by feeding them more of a paleo diet. I wish I would have known all aboth this with my first. She is a carb junkie and it is a literal fight to get her to eat eggs, bacon, cheese- seriously... who does not like cheese and bacon?!…

Omg! This is exactly on point for High school me. I remember thinking that whoever created Daria knew me. Lol

This is me! Although my husband is an extreme extrovert- so we compromise. One weekend night we socialize and the other is quiet.

:D Too true. Lol.

It's going really well! Thank you for asking! I've been able to stay off of my meds since September doing HFLC, fell off a bit due to illness and laziness, but back and feeling great. Today was a HUGE exception in carb intake- and I'm sure it won't be the last but I don't see it as a failure or a set back. I'm learning and…

SW: 204- 193 CW: 184.8 lowest 179.8 Aug2016 GW- healthy- I would prefer no rolls and to loose my back jowls Lol. Even though I weigh more than I did in August, I look and feel thinner now. Victory! I have not had anyone ask me when I was due for several months. Yay!!

You can offer support but ultimately he has to do the work. You can't. It will cause too much resentment between both of you if you force it- which is not what I'm advocating. My hope would be that he sees he has an opportunity to better himself with your support- not that you are giving an ultimatum. If he can't or…

I found shredded vegetable noodles in City Market/ Kroger near the packaged salad and mushrooms. You might see if they can order it in for you from their supplier. Worth a shot.

I worked with a heavyset woman who was always complaining that she didn't have anyone to walk with and that's why she couldn't loose weight. I asked if she had a dog, her response "Oh, he's too fat to go for walks." Omg. Really!? Lol.

Thanks everyone. I made breakfast and that helped. Hubs offered to take over this evening so I can go to bed early- not that it gets me out of puppy duties, but maybe a few hours before he goes to bed. We also have a two year old who has decided that she must fall asleep in our bed. New trend since she was horribly sick…

Thanks for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. Yes- bacon! Maybe it will help level me out. My meter has a chargable battery. It's been acting up and I got irritated with it- it keeps having a error with all of my strips. They are not expired and I've used the recalibration glucose solution. Idk. I hardly ever test…

You know what my "cheat day" is? I eat an extra 200-800 calories HFLC. More cheese? More bacon? Why, YES, thank you! If I'm feeling hungry- I eat. My trend is to eat more calories on the weekends. I can't afford to deviate from HFLC due to my blood sugars- but that does not mean I'm suffering for a "diet" either. This is…

Oh, definitely! I went from casual conversation- drink 1, to telling everyone who I would potentially date should my husband meet a tragic end... drink 3. Now- to be fair my husband and I always joke about our "backups". So he was not surprised and highly amused. Happily married 13+ years. It was just unfortunate that two…

Lol. Good to know.

Really!? I had no idea. It explains New Year's Eve :o

Licorice root is sweet- very sweet. You can buy it at health food stores. I have no idea on how it translates into sugar though. My mom used to buy it for me because I liked it. It is very woody and has an unusual sweetness. I loved it.
