This picture, taken 1 year ago next month... I honestly had never really paid attention to what I looked like. I was 356# there and am now at 265-270, depending on the day. I want to finish the 100# loss by August 1st this year. That's one year to the day of when I began my weight loss journey.

52 and one year ago next month I was at 356#. Currently I'm back and forth between 265 and 270, but I've been traveling quite a bit and haven't stuck with it like I need to. Back on track now and will see the 100# goal before my start date anniversary of August 1, 2017. I follow LCHF, work out some, walk some, and try and…

Add away! I started LCHF in August of 2017 and have dropped 90 pounds, gotten off of 5 meds, and all blood work is in the very good range now.

Actually, the meats still have nitrite/nitrates in them. The manufacturer stated no added nitrites/nitrates, but if you look at the ingredient list, you'll see celery juice, or another green vegetable juice, that has been used. Why do they use these juices? Well, because they are naturally high in nitrites and/or nitrates…

What LowCarb4Me said...

I home cure a LOT of meats each year and that, along with some home smoked cheese, are my go to snacks or quick dinners.

16/8 for me since August of last year. Works great for me, but I've never been a big breakfast eater.

Once you get into the swing of it, it just becomes a way of life. I have a few folks that I'm coaching and they say the same thing. Don't toss the books just yet, you can still have a life and enjoy some carbs now and then, just not like we used to do! Let me know if I can be of any assistance

Rocking along here! Almost 90# gone in 7.5 months! I've been exercising as well. Love this way of eating and living!

Philanthropist... We need more...

^^^^ That

Welcome! I'm new here, but 7 months into my weightloss journey and just over 80# down. Add me as a friend and let me know when/how/if I can help!

A salt deficiency can also cause headaches... I had the same issues and my Dr asked if I had backed way off of the salt I use. He then recommended a daily amount for me, and the headaches went away. Could be something to consider.

Mini resistance bands and tiny dumbbells!!! :D :D

Glad to know you are on the path to good health. It's never too late to start! Keep on going!

Look at the last picture that you didn't like about yourself. Print it out. Hang it in places where you find yourself being tempted or losing focus. Great examples, the refrigerator, the table next to the sofa, the cover pic on your phone. All it took was about a week for me to decided I didn't want those pics around…

Stairs here as well! not a lot, but I climb them several times a day coming and going from my office. 17,000 steps at work, that's a good day! maybe1pe, I do squats at work too! Hmm, resistance bands, that's an idea!

Inspiring for sure! Great work sir!

LCHF way of eating since August 1, 2017. 80 pounds down with moderate exercise as well. It works, but like mentioned above, don't over think it. Let us know how we can be of assistance. Also, LOG EVERYTHING you eat and look items up before you eat them. Lots of hidden carbs out there.

That's my go to snack when on the run. Also, a very good item to use as a binder in place of bread crumbs in some recipes, and I've also used it as a coating for "oven fried" foods. Most all will be zero carbs and pretty high in sodium.

Nightwish... I know, strange for a guy in his 50s, but I love that style of music!

Been doing the 16/8 for around 6 months, love it! Nothing before 11:00 AM or after 7:00PM.

Hello from Texas. 80 pounds down from 356# in May of 2017, looking to drop around another 30 or so. Just joined here last week, so my diaries and WL to date doesn't show in my profile, but changes will happen soon....

His and her's style... Ribeye steak for me and a salmon steak for her, both grilled along with some onion, a medium portabella mushroom, and a little green pepper...

Down 80 pounds in just over 6 months, I follow a keto diet and workout several times per week. I'd love to befriend a few folks on here to vent with, compare notes, and provide the support that we often need.

Rabernathy2012, my Dr for years told me to lose weight, so one visit I asked him HOW I should go about it. He simply said; "when you decide you're ready to lose weight, you will". That decision came to me in May of 2017 when I saw a picture of myself at 356#. Yes, I saw myself in a mirror each day, but the day I saw that…

I may have been sharing some of it... Homemade summer sausages, homemade soppressata, smoked colby jack and smoked Swiss cheeses. The cups hold homemade full grain mustard and slightly smoothed mustard. Oh, I made the board too... Lots of hobbies that work well with my WOE...
