This is all about encouraging people. Don't be mean!! Kellyfatbelly, we want to see before and after pics/

I have lost weight on a low carb diet.

Congrats. Nice and slow. That sounds like a lifestyle change. Orange Theory is a gym, for everyone else. I like their slogan on the their sign. Tailoring birthday suits.

Let's remember if you eat before, alcohol will not hit you as hard. I remember college girls would not eat before a night of drinking, so they would have the calories. They would be drunk off their *kitten* and do stupid things.

Just stay on schedule. When I was depressed, I stayed in bed 18 hours a day. I just knew by noon I needed to eat. I usually went to neighborhood market and ate roast pork, yellow rice and black beans. Just needed some human interaction as well.

Walked around flexing and doing Arnold impersonations.

Found you. Sent a request

Sounds like most people are for them. I just have not bothered in the past few years. It seems like every year after flu season, they say the vaccine did not cover the correct strand of flu.

Add me. Diabetic and on 150 carbs.

It is really strange for me. I will no be able to make it to the gym for work schedules. Then I get back and that stubborn that was not going away is gone notw.

Where I live near Tampa, FL, USA. Publix grocery stores has dieticians on staff. It is $150 for 8 sessions plus 2 HGBA1C blood tests for diabetics. The 150 is worth just the blood tests.

It took a about month and 14 lbs. Then I noticed I needed a belt to keep all my pants up. I have some shorts that stay up ok, until I try to carry wallet, keys and phone. Without the belt, I will be showing my underwear like a gangsta.

Are you using the free version? I hate paying the $10/month, but it does provide a lot more information like carbs and fat.

Weight lifting. I use the gym at work during lunch. If something comes up, it feels strange to actually eat lunch during lunch, instead working out.

Wow I am not as frugal as most. I am in Florida and I spend about $100 when I go the grocery store. I go about 3 times a month. I guess as long as I am not wasting something expensive, like putting meat in the refrigerator and letting it go bad, before I cook it. That's just wasteful. But if buy carrots and only finish…

Nice. The best time to exercise is when it is convenient and you are motivated. I have driven home too many times and when I am ready to make the turn for the gym, I don't feel like it and I keep going home.

Another question. How much do you pay for shoes. I paid about $100 for a pair of Adidas last time.

Wow these are awesome stories. It seems like everyone made a lifestyle change. I mean weight lost over many months or years and not a yo yo diet.

Houston? Try Florida...Tampa

You have to, have to go to the grocery store at least once a week, so you have other options. Even if you just make sandwiches from the deli meat. Then cook something. I usually cook once a week and then freeze it in tupperware containers. My freezer will be packed with 8-10 meals, that i just have to heat up to take to…

Pull Ups..But I am using the assist machine at the gym, Better every week.

On the extreme, As long as there is a rest day. Every other day. But preferably twice a week.

Never heard Skillet

Salad Express bags. I purchased one with lettuce and a pouch of cherry tomatoes. I put them in 3 tupperware containers. Also added some chicken on top. I frequently take bread, cheese and lunch meat to work. I make a sandwich at work.

Oh wow, Amana Bucci. I have seen her on YouTube.

Tampa, FL here, where at 8 am in August, I sweat from the house to the car. If I am going to run, I am up at 6 am. Currently second week of c25k

Everytime I go to the gym, which is 2-3 times a week. Just keep perspective. Up or down 3 pounds could mean a big breakfast or you just had a bowel movement. Like someone else suggested use trend weight from fit bit. Also, go by how you feel. Most of my pants and shorts are loose now. My waist size is smaller than a 32 now.

Just be careful with meds. Like Metformin for Diabetes can lead to Lactic acidosis. Obviously, a regular drinker or a binge drinker.
