Tell it like it is! I needed that. First there's commitment, then the supporting structure(goals, promises, decisions, accountability partners, etc.). I realized not deciding IS deciding. Not deciding to forgo the cake is deciding to eat the cake.

Sounds like a lack of bliss in your life. I understand, I eat to try and recover a sense of joy, bliss or even just happiness in my life. Anti depressants made me feel this way even more acutely so I don't take them anymore. I don't seem to have emotions about anything any longer, even my grandson being born. I suspect I…

There are several good tips here. To make it easy for me to chose (we do take the easy path) I compiled a list of things I usualy go for and their calorie, protean, fat, etc values. When deciding what to make I can check the list and chose. I didn't know coffee has calories, found that out when making the list. Its still a…

Havn'e been here in awhile. I think I am tec challenged. I'm not sure how to see reply's. I have been on the KETO diet for a little over a half year. only lost 8 lb so far but my cholesterol went down a tiny bit even though I use lots of heavy cream and butter. My doc says I need to be on statins like lipitor. Apparently I…

Some low carb products I find that are really good: Folio cheese wraps, found at Costco. They make awsome cheese chips for dipping(microwave about 3 min, make sure they are on top of the parchement paper). Stur water inhansers. "Keto instant hot cereal" by High Key, found on Amazon.

I have not tried Mio but love Stur which is sweetned with stevia and is not bitter. I really like the lemon. The bottle fits nicly in my purse, I can squirt it into sparkling water, make keto shaved ice, use it in tea, make flavored ice cubes, flavor a vodka drink and flavor whipped cream. I'm on the keto diet so carbs are…

Thank you all for; your responses. I am now retired and swimming for excersize. I need to lose 30 lb before I can get the knee surgery I need. I hate it but it seems to come down to calories in vs calories out even on the keto diet. Keto has helped tramendisley to alleviate inflamation, wish I knew about it years ago. God…

I have noticed strength has little to do on a daily basis with muscle loss. I found it was more due to a lack of something or just not enough sleep. When working out or dieting I always need more sleep and or glucose.

What has helped me after the sleeve is 1. protein 1st, 2 not having the sweets and candy around, 3. have plenty of things I like to munch on like microwaved cheese crisps around to snack on. Allow your self to have good stuff like shrimp and crab, lobster. Its better than paying for new larger clothes.

Pinterest has some really good recepies.

Great and inspirational share. I have only lost 31 lb so far but what a huge difference. Thanks for the encouragement.

I found Garden Lights Superfood Veggie Cakes at Costco. They are tasty if you get tired of sweet things like me who is on a shake 3 times a day diet.
