Low carb has been great for me. Better skin, more energy, rapid weight loss! I get a few keto days on here and there but it's only been two months for me as well and I keep slipping up. But even with so many "oops" days I have lost a total of 22lbs. I don't think I'll ever go back to eating the way I use to unless health…

I don't have cheat days. I have "well there went THAT day!" days. I don't consider it a cheat. I try harder the next day and just count it as a learning curve. I'm working my way towards less of those days. I'm reverse engineering my diet!

Low carb has helped me tremendously. I feel compelled to say that it ISNT the only method out there (so the skitzos on here don't freak out).. But where just regular cico for me didn't work at all..(carbs made me eat more and was hard to control my appetite on), low carb has made it almost a breeze. I lost nothing for 7…

AV does have health benefits; weight loss isn't one of them. It's great for gut floral! Makes your hair shiny if you wash in it.. just don't leave it on too long or you can get burns. My daughter did that..genius child. As for trying it myself, only a few times. I can't choke it down. It's too disgusting. Smaller meals…

Bulletproof coffee

:star: GJ. *Claps* Did I motivate?

What I mean is God grown not man processed. Natural foods you have to wash before you eat.. not open a plastic container or can and nuke for easy consumption. If I want jerky, I make it.

Who cooks in your home? You or your husband or both? If you cook, look up low calorie recipes and start shopping for that. Cook just enough so that the only "extra helping" is veggies. If he cooks... Offer to take some days. If you both cook, choose healthy ideas on the days you cook. One way or another, if you are in…

That's how it is for me. Manmade carbs is BAD for me. God made seems to work better, namely potatos. I hate rice and corn so no clue if that works.

If you are very obese, when you first start it can take up to 6 weeks to see the scale decrease. Also, week one is never a good indicator. To many fluctuations from water weight, hormones, shock to your system.. etc. wait a month.. re-evaluate. You already have the first (and most important) key to success.. a desire to…

As everyone said here, it's subjective. Try a baked potato with grilled onion and sour cream. Low cal, but filling and lasts awhile for me. You may be different. Grilled romaine head also works for me. Eggs too. I like to boil two eggs and prepare it like egg salad, then use THAT as my dressing on a salad. Taste good and…

That's how I feel about everything I do, everyday. I don't have random moments where I want silence.. I want silence nearly 24/7 (except for the sounds of my teens .. a quiet teen is a frightening sound..) What is rare for me is actually wanting music. But then it's like one or two songs and I start feeling that irritation…

I despise their frostys. Everyone in my family says it's their favorite.. I have no clue why. So gross. I would much rather have a McD ice coffee.

Try having two families in one home! My brother and his wife and their two boys, my dad, me and my teens. One person to battle with seems like a walk in the park! Forget seeking support (though I agree with these other ladies that support isn't jumping on the same diet wagon as you..) and seek compromise. My sister in law…

I have hypothyroidism and I couldn't lose weight with just "trying" to restrict calories. Hypo increases appetite and makes you fatigued which makes it hard to control eating. Can it be done? Yes. Hard doesn't mean impossible. But I found the Ketogenic diet and I actually don't feel as hungry on it as I did trying other…

If I forget leafy greens, I'm not to concerned about it. For everything else, I will even overestimate because I prefer to error on the side of caution. The over estimate can catch any mistakes I make in logging.

Keto? High fat low carb diets have lots of health benefits.. but isn't necessary for losing weight or being "healthy" in general. Keto is great for reversing diabetes, helping those with autoimmune diseases lose weight, reducing cancer, controlling epilepsy.. etc etc. But if you are healthy already, it isn't necessary but…

I'm not a night time eater cause.. I lazy :grin: ! But I do tend to over do it at dinner.. so I generally either skip breakfast except for coffee.. or skip lunch. Or have so low calories I'm safe. If I DO eat normal those times.. I WILL go over my allowance.

You feel deprived on keto? But keto worked? How bout intermittent keto? Oh and eat less during the day and save those calories for night time snacking. Have keto on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's, then eat regular the rest of the week. Or.. have keto for breakfast and snacks and have your carbs during lunch and dinner.…

And terrifying. I'd rather not contemplate my mortality.. :fearful:

Yup. You can manage pms symptoms through diet and exercise.

Get a bag of 15 bean soup. Recipe is on the back. Add rice. And a ham hock if you like meat.

We seem to buy a lot of cream cheese, mozzarella, zucchini (for noodles) cauliflower (for mashed potatoes, rice, and other various hacks), chicken boobs, other veggies, butter, heavy whipping cream, eggs, sausage, peppers, berries, oh nvm.. the list is too long. Look up recipes that you are interested in. I LOVE shrimp…

I always told my children to not apologize until they are truly sorry. I told them that to do so is a lie, and lying is just as bad as the offense. Then I would send them to their room to play and think about it. They would come back later with an "Im sorry." and we would discuss more efficient and less aggravating ways to…

When I'm not in a "hating music" mood (which is rarely), I listen to stuff like Creed, Pillar, Two doors down, Ed Sheeran, Tom petty or Pink Floyd, parodies, Disney, Christian.. just depends what I can tolerate before the noise gives me a headache again. Only thing I never listen to is rap, metal head, country, or anything…

Brilliant! You look wonderful!

I'm not talking about veggies.. My mother was abandoned with her three brothers and lived on the streets eating out of trash cans and collecting beans other kids used to play tiddlywinks with just to have something to eat. She never got over that so would pile a mountains worth of food on our plates so "we would never know…
