300 to 253 From December 1, 2019 to present, although most of that was lost in the first two months. Currently taking a break from keto. It’s weird but after being really sick for a week the keto foods we had been eating were really repulsive to me, so I decided to take a short break, maintain and see where I wanted to go…

What the above poster said, if you look at the nutrients fiber is right below carbs, I just subtract it. That has worked fine for me. Sometimes someone will have a net carb listing for "keto products" such as Rebel ice-cream, so you can do that as well.

To weigh less than my husband, and him to be able to pick me up! Oh, and to steal his clothes or borrow his jacket when I'm cold.

I'm in Louisiana, so a good chicken and sausage gumbo is where it's at. I have some in the fridge now!

Great job! If you don't mind my asking, how tall are you?

Typing this message and drinking coffee, keeping an eye on my twin boys who are trying to hurt themselves in the kitchen. You know, living the dream.

Wow, that's amazing! Goes to show that nothing is impossible, and all of the wisdom of modern medicine sometimes can't comprehend what the human body is capable of. Definitely continuing to work towards a healthier weight; I feel like sometimes the simplest answer - diet and exercise for weightloss - is the most overlooked.

Not looking for diagnosis or anything, btw, just curious about people's personal experiences. Thanks for the info though, it's encouraging to hear from people who have been through the same trials. I just recently got on my husband's insurance, so I will be visiting a obgyn. I definitely prefer to do as much as I naturally…

I did 450 on the leg-press!

I work in a grocery store bakery as a cake decorator, and I'm in my third month with ZERO snacking at work!! That's difficult as everyone is literally snagging extra cookies, brownie and cake trimmings, etc.

I keep seeing people post on here along the lines of It's either, "All because your perception and confidence had changed," or because "people are shallow and biased towards the more conventionally attractive." I don't think it's necessarily an "either/or," but rather a bit of both, depending on the individuals. If there…

Amazing job! I'm in the same boat, couldn't stand feeling terrible all the time and self-conscious. Definitely not how God intended us to live. I've got this verse stuck in my head, 1 Corinthians 9 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring…

I believe it's the slanted.

Thanks for the advice, I think ill go with the dumbbell squats like y'all suggested!

That's it exactly! So am I not supposed to attempt a normal squat on that machine? Because that's what I've been doing. She looked exactly like the lady in the image, so I suppose she had correct form for the machine.

I would, but it's what I have to work with at the moment, so I have to make do..

Baked a crock pot of chicken thighs, sweet potatoes, carrots and butternut squash. Delicious! And plenty left over for lunch tomorrow for me and the Hubs.

Went to the gym this morning, and got up the guts to go to the squat/bench area in front of all the gym beasts! I only put on 30 pounds of weight, because I just want to get a feel for my form and because squatting my own weight is really enough exercise most days. And one of the muscle-bound dudes complimented is my form;…

I've been going to the gym at least every other morning (sometimes more) for over a month!! I credit this mostly to my amazing husband, as we have been going together and he encourages me.

I'm in!! :) could use the inspiration.

I'm a cake decorator.

Imagine working at a bakery...

Praying for your wife, very sorry to hear that...

Really enjoy watching his videos, two other good ones are Obesetobeast and Fatgirlfedup!

I nibbled too much today, and I had not one, but two slices of cheesecake after dinner! Not much of a victory I know - BUT - I logged it all and (with my exercise) am only marginally over my goal. I also noticed how "bleh" I felt after dinner, and definitely am going to remember that for the future. Tomorrow is another…

Just realising I've been stringing together whole days of staying within my calorie budget! I'm usually perfect from breakfast through lunch, but dinner onwards is where things get a little iffy. Too big of portions, munchies or grabbing something with friends after we've already had dinner. But aside from a few treats…

Well, from a different side of the spectrum, my husband is helping me a great deal! He encourages me, eats the same meals as me and goes to the gym with me at 5:30am. He is naturally fit himself (I mean that literally, everyone in his family is genetically predispositioned to be ripped), muscles showing and everything…

I'm up at 5am and headed to the gym. I'm not a 5am gym person, I'm mad at the world, but I'm going. My husband is the best encourager, and also unfortunately a morning person.

Going to the gym this evening, even with sciatic pain killing me.
