You'll get back down soon! I'm sure it was worth it.

I still have no idea what I weigh, but I have a major NSV today: I went to a Chinese/Japanese buffet and stuck to keto! I stuck to salad, steamed seafood, and sauceless hibachi made with chicken, shrimp, veggies, and butter. I walked right past all of the yummy noodles, sushi, Chinese favorites, and dessert bar. That place…

@EstrangedTiger Interesting hypothesis, and it makes total sense! I think you are right because I started eating more and am having a much easier time lifting. Cardio hasn't been impacted, but strength definitely is improving.

Thanks, @Brendalea69! @EstrangedTiger I ended up needing 2MAD yesterday, but I know it's too early to tell since it was my first day back on keto. I just finished working out this morning after having a bulletproof coffee, so I will see if that eliminates the need for an additional meal, but I doubt it. I have always…

I should probably build a ritual. I usually find myself having waiting JUST a bit too long, and my "ritual" is more like feeding time at the zoo.

I love this consistency! And the inch loss is really awesome!!! I need to add that to my weigh-ins!

Sammy, you are gorgeous!!!!! And I agree with Steph - you can absolutely see a huge difference in your face.

Great drop! And that meal looked so nice and fresh! I just jumped back into keto and that fruit looks soooooo tempting!

I hope those new pills help and that recovery is speedy!

Happy belated anniversary!

@mistymeadows2005 Thanks, Steph! Make a big ol' pot and send it down to me! I will eat them :D @EstrangedTiger that's exactly what I was thinking! I figured it would be best to have the carbs on my lifting days, which are 2-3x a week. After thinking, though, I don't know that my performance really suffered because of a…

Congrats, Steph!!! That is awesome :)

@Hungry_Shopgirl I sure hope you get everything you need in your sessions. Talking it out with a pro can be so helpful even if it is a bit uncomfortable at first. @SherryRueter I could only get my binges under control when I stopped skipping meals for a while. I was never a big square meal eater so I didn't think it was…

Here's to fitting into your Nassau shirt by the end of the summer! *cheers*

OMG that sounds SOOOO good!!!!

Have a great trip!!!

Posted in another thread that I wanted to post here as well for my record: Definitely about the inches! I pulled out those too-small pants from storage and they actually fit now! I have a bunch of clothes packed up that I thought were too small because I weigh more than I did when I bought them. I have missed out on so…

@EstrangedTiger I am right there with you! On a related note: I spent all day yesterday looking for ways to get back to LC/keto because I really do think it's one of the best WOE for me personally, but I don't want my performance/activity to suffer. I found a really cool article about the targeted keto diet, where you eat…

The big 5-0! How exciting! I hope you have the best time celebrating you!!!

Definitely about the inches! I pulled out those too-small pants from storage and they actually fit now! I have a bunch of clothes packed up that I thought were too small because I weigh more than I did when I bought them. I have missed out on so many of them, so I will happily wear them this summer. I did find 5 dresses…

I bet you enjoyed that pizza!

Yum!!! That looks delicious, Tracey!

I have decided to go back to fruit-based desserts from now on. I've been finding myself fighting lots of cravings lately, and the only thing I've really reintroduced is sugar. I think I just need to drop it once and for all. I did perfectly well eating plain fruit or even fruit dipped in chocolate, so I am going back to…

@dkayingram I don't like it plain, but I DO really like it when it's topped with something saucy like jambalaya or a stew of some sort. I definitely can't tell the difference then. And I remember @tlblanks1 made a fried rice with it a while back, and that looked good, too.

You're 100% right, @EstrangedTiger! Especially on salad bars -- I used to buy salad but the lettuce plus all of the trimmings I like really adds up and then it goes bad too quickly! A salad sounds yummy right about now... @dkayingram I am REALLY excited about the jambalaya. And she made it with cauliflower rice for me :)…

I agree with Robert! I'm sure it's coming!

That is AMAZING! Who cares about the scale when you're clearly getting stronger and losing inches??? That is fantastic! I think that is one of the reasons I rely on the scale too heavily -- women's clothes are so inconsistent in sizing across brands that is really hard for me to gage when I am losing inches until it's…
