Rapid, unexplained weight loss can be a sign of multiple serious problems. Or it could just be a matter of you need to increase your caloric intake. Where are your fruits and veggies? Healthy fats? Your diet sounds lacking in nutritional sustenance and that can cause serious problems as well. Please seek out your doctor to…

I feel like I've lost my boob to band size fairly proportionately, However, they are a little smaller than they were in the beginning for sure. My bands and cups on my bras are both a little big (holding off buying new ones until I can't get away with wearing my current ones anymore- thankfully, I was wearing them on the…

I love adding more low carb friends to encourage and see how they're doing. Feel free to add me.

I saw my gynecologist pretty soon after I started this way of eating. She was extremely encouraging about it. Said that basically the way of eating is how it should be and was proud of me for making the change even though my weight hadn't changed much yet. I have a physical coming up with my regular doctor this month and I…

Someone who understands! One of my friends who grew up in Puerto Rico and moved here as an adult still doesn't fully understand hoodie obsession even though she's been here over a decade. How big are the clothes? I might be able to help you get rid of some of your clutter :wink:

Love this, because it truly is amazing how desensitized we become to things. The food industry wants it that way so we become addicted and need more and more and that's how they get more $ To me the re sensitization of sweet is a huge NSV, and a sign that the addiction has waned.

I bought this hoodie a year ago having tried the same size in other hoodies, I found this one and grabbed it assuming it would fit. Lo and behold, I leave Martha's Vineyard, get home and the front of the hoodie won't even meet. *sigh* I relegate it to the back of my closet thinking maybe some day or else I'm going to give…

Everybody is different, but as suggested by other people, if you try the avocado and like it, then why use the banana? A lot of times, the "it's only" way of thinking leads down a bad road. Either way, for this way of eating, unnecessary sugars could stifle your body's ability to burn fat and heal itself the way you want…

You got it! Always accepting requests from positive low carb pals :-)

It really is body type dependent. Some people need to start out with low intensity longer exercise to help their bodies heal and prevent cortisol from stopping weight gain. Some people do better with interval training. Walking is a fantastic way to start!

I have taken applegate roast beef and grass fed butter, torn the roast beef into a mug, added the butter, microwaved until the butter melted and ate it. So easy and amazingly delicious and like a minute to make.

Be careful about statins, too. Studies (that of course our healthcare system ignores) show that people on statins live 10-20 years (or somewhere in that range, I can't remember the specific number of years) less than people with high cholesterol. I heard that on the Keto Talk podcast. Breakdowns of cholesterol are…

Mmmm, salt. The best part of this diet is that I don't have to hold back on salt which is my biggest craving! I use mostly sea salt or Himalayan. I try to incorporate potassium salt, but I just don't love the taste.

Also, just as an extra side note, I was in 2x which they charged and extra $2 for and I bought these in XL which have no extra charge! It felt good being able to pay normal price instead of having to pay more for my size.

My scrub pants were getting really baggy and even with tying them tighter having a hard time staying up. I bough a size down when my pants went on sale and I feel so much less frumpy! They fit so nicely and form to my basic shape without being tight. It's a weird feeling, but I love seeing my legs looking like they're…

I've invested in one pair of pants smaller, and I can get away with wearing some that are a little big, but I can't put my cellphone in my pocket or it starts to pull my pants down. My poor single pair of pants that actually fits me is going to get well worn!

Anyone feel free to add me :-) I enjoy seeing people's feeds and diaries and feel free to look at mine. I food log every day.

I'm from Connecticut, western side of central area. So, no other New Englanders? (New Englander and proud,❤️ Tom Brady hahahaha)

After multiple diets and constant failed attempts to lose weight only to regain a lot of weight, my best friend got me into it. She had mentioned it before, but then I had gallbladder surgery and thought the fat would do me in (and it probably would have for the first few months at least). I basically got sick and tired of…

Anything fermented. Most vinegar (I can stand balsamic or if the flavor is hidden enough). These things make me dry heave. It's not just an I don't like it. I will be actually sick for hours.

A: congratulations on a great amount of weightloss! And B: We've turned into a society where people think it's their right and privilege to comment on everything you do. It is simply impossible to make everybody happy. I'd probably say "not that it's any of your business, but I am at a very healthy weight for my height,…

What derailed me on my low carb go around I first tried when in my teens, was someone advising me to have one cheat day a week. I wasn't gorging on junk. Just allowing whole grains or some rice or wheat pasta. Unfortunately, it wound up derailing me totally. Now, if I want a little cheat, it has to be for a real reason…

I make eggplant parm with almond meal instead of bread crumbs and use a sauce that either I make or that has all organic, no sugar added ingredients. I cut up eggplant the day before, salt it, put it in a strainer and place it in a bowl. The importance of this with eggplant is by doing that you're drawing the fluid out…

I know I weighed in less than a week ago, but I wanted to share again because I HIT 30 LBS! 30.9, actually which puts me at 298.1. I was ashamed that my weight the gotten so high, but in truth, I was trying very unsuccessfully to lose weight before I got there. Each failed diet propelled my weight higher with me getting…

I think sometimes it's easier to deal with the outside than the inside. Be proud of yourself for taking that step! It is so important to take care of every part of yourself. Amazing victory.

SW: 329 GW: <200 CW: 301.3 I went on vacation this past weekend and had a couple little oopsie bites, but nothing excessive. Mostly, I didn't drink enough water. Today, my body had a woosh and let go of some water, so I weighed myself when I got home from work and there was my weight drop!

Chocolate chia pudding: 2tbsp chia seeds Toasted coconut almond milk (or your choice of whatever) Little bit of swerve sweetener Little bit of unsweetened cocoa Make the chia and milk first, mix together, stick in fridge, mixing up about every 5 minutes until congealed, add more milk/cream of choice if necessary. When…

Caesar salad is one of my favorite go tos. Burgers without the buns, steaks, veggies, fajitas w/ cilantro and sour cream, there's a place I go to for local Mexican where I actually ate their salsa with a spoon, bc it's so good.

I have a lot more weight to lose, but for me, it actually makes me think about what I put in my mouth. I'm going to have to log this and everybody will see it and I'm going to have to look at it. It keeps me from lying to myself. It doesn't work that way for everybody, obviously. You have to do you.

I've actually found for myself that not all carbs are created equal. I will feel tons better and weight wise fare better eating carbs from a potato rather than a 100 calorie pack of cookies lacking in nutrition. Also, vegetable oils (barring vegetable and avocado) seem to have a more negative effect on my cholesterol and…
