Haha, Wow! That's pretty cool. We don't do prom's down under. Similar formal dances, but nothing quite as extravagant. Hence my curiousity.. I thought I wonder how you prepare for a promposal. I hope they have a great time, sounds like the stuff lasting memories are made from. :)

Well I just totally dropped the ball on late night eating. I mean it's not the end of the world, but boy am I disappointed with myself. Right there in my head were all the reasons not to.. Doing war with the hunger cravings from who knows where.. It's like you watch yourself screw it up and just can't put the brakes on. I…

I did briefly picture you and your friends going down to a beach and starting a rumble with the people using the volleyball court. lol "It's our court now!"

Daily Post: (Wednesday) Goals: Bought a new table saw and took a journey to the back of the shed. Read: {spent afternoon weight lifting} Track: Yes Calories:Yes Exercise:Yes Water: Yes Net Carbs: 18 Sigh.. I fell victim to a brutal snack attack in the early hours of this morning. It was awful. I got cornered and there was…

Huh, wow.. Earlier this evening I mentioned to one of my housemates that I hadn't hydrated well enough today. She just knocked on my door to give me my water bottle which she filled up for me before going to bed. I'm really surprised. The people around me weren't all that supportive when I started this journey. I guess…

After losing weight just about everywhere but my gut, I've finally started dropping inches. I punched 3 new holes in my belt last week with inch spacing and I'm onto the 2nd one today. And I used to have to practically shoe horn myself into these things lol.

Daily Post: (Tuesday) Goals: Got some more welding done on the camper, ticked another thing off the list. Spent the lions share of the day testing equipment. When you spend time way off grid trying to get things done, you really need to know in advance that whatever you take there to use will work at or near optimal…

Daily Post: (Monday) Goals: Good busy day, bit too much crouching to work on the floor of the shed. Legs feel like I've done one of those squat/lunge workouts. Knees threatening to go on strike. My goal was to prepare the workshop for the new saw which I hope to pickup tomorrow. Stayed up a bit too late and had to fight…

@AB0215 Heck yeah I count 10hrs in the kitchen as exercise.. My HR tracker does too.. :) Hope your have a better day tomorrow. Make sure those electrolytes are balanced.

It's hard to imagine how addictive carbs are until you try to ditch them. I swear it was easier to quit smoking than savory crackers. But it looks like you are taking your body on a wild ride with the carbs there. I've found that a keto style low carb diet is just not something you can dabble in. At least initially, it's…

If you like chocolate.. My daily indulgence has become what I call quick mousse. I was mucking around with keto choc icecream recipes and stumbled across something simple and yummy. I mix 15g of plain (not Dutch processed) cocoa powder and 15g of Natvia baking sweetener. It's a blend of stevia and erythritol. And 3…

@ka97 I totally get the overwhelmed to respond thing.. If you reply to everyone you'd be writing a book. Sometimes I do just go for it and worry that I'm spamming the thread lol. @jennfalzon1979 Sounds like a great day. Reckon you've earned a few s'mores.

Daily Post: (Sunday) Goals: Failed to achieve a rest day, but a good day nevertheless. I've got goals for this week. Big goal is I want to finish this month really strong and lose at least another 1.5kg to get down under 110kg. Next important goal is to get down to the bush block with my upgraded camper ready to install…

@AB0215 Just for interest, your lifting is what inspired me to start building some muscle back. I definitely had to go on the lose some weight journey first, but your efforts reminded me there is more to be had than just weighing less. I've been considering asking for your advice on how to better plan my lifting workouts.…

The tank top was ok, but the disclaimer was hillarious. :smiley: I think the little mid month gain will set you up for a great week 4. Hey, quick one.. I got up and weighed a full neat pound lighter today. And since it's still Saturday over there I figure I might as well write it down. 245.3Lb I'm going to leave it to you…

Daily Post: (Saturday) Goals: Comparatively low impact day due to a few hours of driving that needed to be done. Got a couple of new tools for the workshop that will allow me to increase productivity next week. Which is good since I spent all my money and will be stuck in the shed for a few days lol. Goal wise, I'm keenly…

@Keri8680 In my world, cleaning bathrooms counts. :) I think it's a good idea to compartmentalize your action plans a little. When I tried doing it all at once I failed. (Note: keep calm post earlier, lol) So I think you're on the path to success. A quick headsup, be prepared to put on a little water weight when you…

Daily Post: (Friday) Goals: Good solid day. Ticking things off the to do list. Decent numbers on the scales this morning too, my goal today is have a good calorie burn and not eat too much before weigh in day tomorrow. Track: Yes Calories:Yes Exercise:Yes Water Intake: Good Net Carbs: 12 @River_Goddess I just don't get it.…

Greetings from the future. I've traveled forward in time to Scout out Friday for the group. So far, things look promising. Sunny blue skies with a fresh cool breeze. Ideal conditions for finishing a good week.

I've been struggling with salad allergies for most of my life. When I try to eat salad, my mouth fills with unpleasant flavors, my face screws up and my eyes go all squinty. It's like I just keep chewing and chewing and can't swallow. The closest I've ever come to actually enjoying a salad would be in the form of a taco or…

Daily Post: (Thursday) Goals: Went looking for a clamp for a friend today and after I found it, I ended up spending almost an entire day spring cleaning my workshop. Minimal progress on to do list, but I do get to enjoy that cleaned up feeling in the shed. Track: Yes Calories:Yes Exercise:Yes Water Intake: Good Ok so I…

Daily Post: (Wednesday) Goals: Starting to feel the effects of skipping my usual Sunday rest day. I'm becoming a firm believer in the value of at least one rest day per week. But, I'm getting through my to do list and looking forward to getting back to the bush for a few days hopefully at the end of the week. Track: Yes…

Daily Post: (Tuesday) Goals:Good solid day in the workshop today. Chipping away at the to do list and burning calories as I go. Must remember to top up electrolytes tonight. Track: Yes Calories:Yes Exercise:Yes Water Intake: Optimal @ka97 Hope your cat picks up. Having a little friend unwell is always worrisome.…

I posted yesterday but never did a daily post. Sunday is my rest day, and while I didn't really rest, there was important mothers day stuff to attend to. Daily Post: (Monday) GoalsMy efforts to throw together a carpentry project in two days have sadly come to naught.. I mean it takes 24 hours for wood glue to properly dry…

I'm with you girls on the clean feeling. I spend quite a lot of time at this desk on my computer, and sometimes I find myself with a gnawing angst.. bordering on aggro. And it's always because the desk has become too busy and cluttered. The tidy up always leads to a whole room clean and that feeling of joy it brings.…

I couldn't help myself.. So because I should be in the shed working, I decided to photoshop one of Gemwolf's pictures instead lol. I don't know if it was a plastic bag or a hat, but it didn't belong in that tree so I picked it up and moved the car.

Daily Post: (Saturday) Goals:In a move that is borderline idiotic. After previous gift plans fell through, I decided to throw my already over-full to do list to one side and make a gift for my mum for mothers day. She is out of town for another couple of days so I do have time, but I don't actually have the spare time to…

Daily Post: (Friday) Goals:I ate more than I needed to today, maybe my biggest cal intake since I started. Not more than my Net, but if I'm honest, more than I really needed to satisfy hunger. I think there is a bit of comfort eating in that as my weight was lowest on Tues and I've been watching it climb every day lol. I…

Argh.. I've done it again, I sit down to check the thread and find a half finished post from earlier sitting here unposted. :/ Daily Post: (Thursday) Goals: I've been needing to get out and resupply for a while now and spent nearly the whole day doing that. Fortunately that involved plenty of walking and lifting. The…

@River_Goddess Not sure how much meal prep you do, but I have found a direct connection between my meal prep and good dieting decisions. On those days when I'm just not feeling it, being able to reach for a pre made and portioned meal from the fridge or freezer helps me keep on trackin with a minimum of effort. If I run…
