First and foremost, never feel that you are alone! This community is ALWAYS here for you and in my experience, has always been helpful! I was exactly where you are. I weighed 400lbs, had out of control BS, BP and breathing problems. With the help of my friends here and the wakeup call of a grandson that I wanted to be able…

Fat bombs! :) There are many recipes out there for fat bombs. My favorite is butter, almond butter (equeal portions) then add in cocoa and I add some Sugar Free Vanilla flavor (DaVinci's) for just a touch of sweetness. Melt together, put in candy molds and refrigerate or freeze. Its like a sweet treat but its really a fat…

I don't get freaked out by it, quite the opposite. I use it gauge progress and to verify my previous days eating (whether good or bad). No freaking except from others who will advise you NOT to weigh every day. I see the downward trend and if I stall or gain, I can indentify why by the food/exercise from the previous day.…

Thank you everyone...I'm quite nervous about this...lol

Feel free to add me as well, I've been on this same road and still have 100+ to go. Lets do this together!!!!

you can also try some unsweetened coconut for a different taste. I love fat bombs!

Please add me, I also have tons of recipes I'm happy to share :)

Does anyone have any recipes to use the Whey in? I would like to utilize it and not through it away but I'm not sure how to use it! Thanks in advance :)

I carb load 1 meal every 2 weeks and I feel super!

Are you eating enough fat? With the LC/HF way of life, eating fat is part of the big picture. Try a fat bomb and see if that gives you results. When I do my breakdown, I'm 60% fat/35% protein and 5% carb, if that helps any :)

I'm coming to you ladies here because someone may be in a similar situation and be able to offer some helpful advice. I'm having a horrible time dealing with a huge stresser in my life and I'm a stress eater..enough said? 5 months ago my boyfriend and I moved his grandmother in with us. At that time, she represented…

You can do this! We're ALL here for you :) Milestones are great and I know how you felt the first time you bent over and put on a sock! My high moment so far was the first time I could sit in a chair and cross my legs....not sit wide legged because my legs were so big. :)

On the Keto diet, most likely she isn't eating bread :) We tend to "fat-bomb" regularly in order to get in enough fat for the day as that can actually be the biggest challenge on keto. You're doing great!

Being a low carber, cottage cheese is a staple food for me. I keep several flavors of Davinci sugar free syrups on hand to "switch" the flavor up without adding extra calories or carbs. If you're a chocoholic, you can add cocoa powder and a touch of stevia for a chocolately dessert type dish. If you want a smoother…

Nuts and nut butters definitely. They add quality fat and protein. Avocado is another thing that you might want to consider. Some Quacomle with cucumber chips. If you're looking for a way to add good fats, baked pepperoni slices with cream cheese will add good fats, taste amazing and kind also give you a "feel good" effect…

I'm in for giving and receiving support. :) I'm 53 and started my journey at 400 lbs. I'm now down to 253 this morning and DETERMINED to break that 250 mark...but it seems to be very elusive :) I agree that only women our age face the same stubborn poundage... I eat LC/HF and have tons of recipes if anyone eats that way.…
