THANK YOU! I'd read the same thing about the pink Himalayan salt, but didn't know what to think since I'm so new to this piece of things. I've already got a good, easy, really-not-all-that-different-from-my-current-eating meal plan set up for next week (all meals), and I'm looking forward to it! I made it fairly simple and…

I'm always looking to give and receive more support! Count me in!

So I did end up having a bit more weight loss (a few pounds), and I've definitely had some changes in my body measurements... but how long is normal to hover around the same weight? I'm trying to be patient, but the scale hasn't budged in like, two weeks!

Greetings from Boston! Feel free to add--I've got a bit to lose... just got back on track a little less than a month ago, and I'm down 18 so far, with about 120 to go!

Thanks @GoBlue1981! That means a lot :) @DadBod37 PCOS is a syndrome where women grow little cysts on their ovaries which cause hormone imbalances. There are many symptoms, and one of them is that weight can be very difficult to lose. The low carb lifestyle works best for me--I'm counting carbs first, and calories second.…

The whoosh. I love this concept. I can feel the changes, so I guess I'll just wait for... the whoosh :)

Thank you @KnitOrMiss @kpk54 and @cstehansen for your encouragement!

Also, if anyone is looking for a new friend, feel free to add me! We're all in this together, after all!

I'm definitely feeling better about all this now! It's easy to get sucked into believing that what you're doing isn't worth it when you're only looking at one piece. But there are so many moving pieces--you're right. Thanks for the reminder, it's truly appreciated :)

Thank you--I love this. A very helpful reminder. I'm doing this for long term health and to feel good about myself, and not to count pounds.

So, so true. I'm back in there

My boyfriend is incredibly supportive, for sure. He's not doing the low carb thing, but we're doing active things and we're trying to be helpful. He just doesn't have quite as much weight to lose :) My family and friends are also very supportive. My best friend and I track together with our Apple watches, so that's great.…

Thanks so much, I really needed that. I think the measuring piece is the direction I'm leaning in. I already feel things fitting differently for sure, so maybe that will be more encouraging. I'm a results based person, and can be pretty hard on myself if I'm not performing the way I'd like to, so I guess I should just…

30 from Boston, MA!

That's super true... I was on a good kick for a while, losing weight every day, it was great! I was doing everything right, but then there was a string of days where I wasn't losing anything at all. Which got super frustrating very fast. I switched to weighing myself every week, then every two. Two weeks seemed to be the…
