We have a lot in common! Similar weight, goals and struggles. Sending you a friend request.

Your body is adapting to having fewer and fewer calories. I know this may sound scary but you may need to increase your calories. Your body is likely starving for nourishment. Don’t let that scale rule you! If you continue decreasing your calories what does the rest of your life look like? How long can you keep decreasing…

Change your mind. If your narrative is “I’m scared”, you’ll continue to be scared. Look at those sweets and say, “you don’t scare me. You have no power over me”. When you look at your healthy food say, “ you look so nourishing! I’m proud of myself for making this choice”. Law of attraction. The more you dwell on fear of…

Iced coffee with sugar free sweeeners and almond milk or heavy cream or a mix of the two. I make my own at home to save money. I only have coffee in the morning and I drink water with Sweet Leaf water drops until lunchtime. I do all of my eating between noon and 8pm. I make my own dark chocolate truffles so I don’t totally…

Thanks for the wisdom. I’ve never put any genuine effort to losing weight so all of this is a bit new to me. If I take what the scale says out of the equation, my body and mind FEEL improved. There is no looking back for me. I’m effortlessly committed.

Thanks so much to both of you. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. I weighed myself this morning and I’m down about .5lb. I know I just need to trust the process. I just got worried that I was doing something wrong. I’m only 45 days in and so 13lbs total loss over that time period is pretty great! I’ve been…

I’m not a big emailer but you can message me on here. I’m super lucky that my bestie has started just a few weeks ago. I’m committed enough to do this on my own but it sure is great to have a friend to do Keto with.

Just get an Instant Pot already. I DID and I kept my slow cooker too. Treat yo self! Look at it as an investment in yourself and your health. You deserve it.

Also when I eat out I eat salad or veggies with unbreaded wings and blue cheese. Or a burger no bun sub extra lettuce.

@MelaniefromgA Hi there! I don’t have teenage boys but I do have a busy life after I get off work so I understand the time crunch. I eat 90% of my meals at home. I try to set aside about two evenings a week to meal plan prep so I’m not constantly going to the grocery store. I try to keep it simple. Chicken thighs and beef…

I’m in Flagstaff. Anyone else up in Northern AZ? Would love to have a local friend on MFP to talk about food sources and trails and fitness with.

Ya know, I’ve made homemade bone broth and I gotta day, it’s a little “funky” when compared to broth/boullion. You could use a boullion cube to flavor it up a little. If your goal it to incorporate collagen and amino acids for nutritional purposes, try the powdered collagen peptides. Look for grass fed on the label. I…

I started Keto because of a bladder related problem. Low sugar and only vegetable occurring carbs for the last month. I’m 31 days in and have lost 12 lbs. I used to cook and bake professionally. I’ve been super excited to learn new ways to cook and bake. After 3 days of Keto, I had shaken the sugar addiction and could feel…

Girlfriend, I feel you. I’m 5’8” and started at 220 with about 60lbs to lose. I’m 40. I work for a company that is an outdoor tourism business . I’m totally the fat kid in the office. I’m sick and tired of not being able to breathe while tying my shoes. I want to feel free again! I’ve lost 12 so far. Can’t wait to lose…

@Mike1804 are you still eating low glycemic? Has it helped keep the weight off?

@kaleighmariemurphy. Make some Fat bombs with sugar replacement! They are awesome and I don’t miss the sugar. I’ve been getting tons of ideas from Pinterest.

Good luck! I’m in a similar situation with similar stats and goals. I haven’t had sugar or carbs for a month and I feel AMAZING! 10 ponds down 50 to go.

I just started Keto about a month ago. I don’t feel deprived at all. I’m not freaking out counting calories or feeling hungry. I’m down 10 pound with about 40/50 to go! Good luck to everyone whatever weight loss avenue you choose.

You can do this! One little pound at I time. If I can do it probably anyone can.

I’m in Az as well. Have about 60lbs to lose. I started about 30 days ago and have lost about 10 so far. Feeling awesome and super motivated for the first time in my life.

I started Keto about a month ago. I’ve never felt like I could stick to a “diet” before without constant cravings and deprivation. This has been an amazing experience so far. I highly recommend listening to some podcasts like Leanne Vogel’s Ketogenic Diet , Shawn Mynar Keto for women and Keto for Normies. The first two are…
