https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/10-health-benefits-of-intermittent-fasting#section1[/url] Maybe this will help. Evidence based medical benefits. As a former diabetic, IF lowers my risk of becoming one again. That is enough for me. The rest of it is just a bonus.

What is your water (plain water) intake like? Sometimes if I slack off my water for several days the pounds will inch up some. Maybe try a different type of exercise? I think we sometimes get into a rut by doing the same thing over and over so it doesn't take nearly as much energy to complete it as it used to. If walking…

I would love more Keto friends!

I used a Misfit Flash for a long time. It finally died and they are discontinued now. I know Misfit has a bunch of newer options but I have not personally tried any of them.

I have been on it for 5 days now. So far it does exactly what it said it would. I am eating less than ever before because I am not as hungry. It is weird to wrap my head around cooking in butter and adding extra olive oil to to dishes, but I love it so far.

You might look into Boca and Morning Star Farms products. They are soy based vegetarian. They have many options - burgers, chicken pattys, bacon, sausage, etc. Also, Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt has the best carbs/protein ratio I have found. Medifast is a low carb/high protein diet. I am not suggesting you follow it. I…

Austin, I like to toss cauliflower in the food processor and make cauli-rice. Then use it for any meal that you would have had real rice. My favorite is getting Beef & Broccoli from the Chinese restaurant (large portion) adding 8oz of extra broccoli and 16oz of cauli-rice. I toss it all in a frying pan to heat and blend…

Jay9201, If you cut out gluten and got good results the carbs may not be the issue. Your symptoms seem similar to the reaction I was getting. I was diagnosed as gluten sensitive - not celiac disease. I would get gastric bloating that I didn't love but could deal with. It was when my lower legs started swelling up and made…

You can add me if you like. I have not seen 22 in more than 22 years, lol, but I am with you on the dropping 100.

I LOVE Kay's Natural's Chili Nacho Cheese Protein Chips. They are gluten free (for peeps like me that need that) and have 12 grams of protein so they leave me feeling full. Only 115 calories :) Plus it satisfies my Doritos cravings, lol.

Starting weight: 260 July Goal: 250 Ultimate goal: 150 I know my first week will be mostly water (just started 7/7), but this is good for accountability. I will weigh in on Sundays. 7/7 - 260 7/9 - 257 7/16 - 252.4 7/23 7/30

When I was diagnosed, my doc said there are three components to get rid of Type 2: lose some weight (I was about 150lbs overweight), eat low carb, and exercise every day. I was on Victoza and HATED giving myself shots every day. I committed to the three components and was able to go off meds in 3 months. My A1C dropped…

I agree with the treadmill idea. (or whatever works best for you) When I had a relationship start going downhill (and eventually end) I took up Cardio Kickboxing. Even though I wasn't actually hitting anything it helped to punch my feelings out. That may sound corny but it kept me from hitting my ex :) and away from…

I was just in the grocery store. The smell of freshly baked cookies sure made me want to eat them. My guess - without reading the study - is that if something attracts us by smelling yummy people (not focused on eating right and losing weight) are more likely to eat them.

Hi Jeremy, I am fairly new myself. To start I scrolled through the different threads and joined in where I could. Sometimes you will see 'request for friends' threads if that interests you, post on those as well. Good luck with your health journey!

Make sure you are drinking enough water. Many people think they are hungry when they are actually dehydrated. http://archive.spright.com/news/how-to-tell-if-youre-hungry-or-thirsty/ Also, what are you eating? I can make a salad the size of my head and take 90 minutes to eat it that only has 150 calories (including the…

Add me too if you like. I need to lose 104

I have 104 to lose. Feel free to add me.

Isn't the date the weeding out process?

People will always try to bring people to their level. Positive people tend to build others up. Negative people try to tear others down. Maybe it's time to cut the negative people out of your life or at least see them less? Also, I have a bunch of guy friends. If you showed them 10 pictures of different famous women, they…

I am in. I need a challenge to help keep me motivated.

I would focus on the look and feel, not the scale. If your clothes are getting looser, it would seem that you are becoming more healthy and losing excess fat - no matter what the scale says. Also, lifting heavy for 90-100 minutes a day burns at least 500 calories. If you are only eating 1200-1300 you might have but your…
