  • SW = 242 (3/28/18) May 1: 224 May 6: 219.6 May 13: May 20: May 27: May 31: 4.4 lbs down this week. WOOT! :p The last time I have a weight recorded under 220 is January, 2015. I'm stoked!

  • I'm going to try all of these...except the radishes. Gotta draw the line somewhere. :D :D
  • I agree with what @CharlieBeansmomTracey said. It's a good basis for starting. Then, fine tune to your own body and satiety. @nanda7114 be specific. What's going on that makes you feel like you're failing? I'm no expert, but am having excellent success. I'd like to know about your experience.
  • I've been eating Keto for a month now -- down 20 lbs already (30 to go). Everyone is different, but this is a lifestyle I can definitely live with for the long term. As @ladipoet said, you might want to try the LCD group (linked above). Good group! There's also a good Keto group on MFP.
  • Don't stress over that chocolate. Throw it out! Or, give it away. One thing that has helped me was getting rid of some of the things I no longer eat, but sometimes crave. AND, I am giving myself a treat when I reach certain goals (my post above is not the plan I will use going forward). For instance, when I get below 220,…
  • I fell off the wagon this week... not once, but twice. The first time, I willingly jumped off the wagon (as I had planned). I told myself that when I was down 20 lbs from my SW, I was going to give myself a treat and have some chips & salsa (my fave snack). I had gotten down to 222.4. Wellllllll...I not only had 10 chips…

  • Lunch from one day last week...
  • My parents always told me to clean my plate. For most of my life, that's what I've done -- no matter the size or portions on the plate. For the first time in many years, I had the same sensation last week. I pushed my plate back and said, "I'm done." Almost half the meal I ordered (eating lunch with a friend) was still on…
  • I do, in fact, have a goal. That may change. I started this process a month ago with two things in mind (regarding weight). I wanted to weigh less than 200lbs. And, I wanted to be able to say, "I lost 50 pounds" in the process. Weighing in at 242 the day I set the goal, a loss of 50 pounds would result in me weighing less…
  • @xDaniDragonflyx, I completely understand the "snacking as a habit" struggle. I have snacked in the evenings (not every night) for YEARS. Now, I try to stop eating anything by 7pm. And, most days fast until at least 9am...some days, noon. It's tough. And, it has not gotten any easier - yet. I know that habits are hard to…

Sunday 04/22 Sunday 04/29 Couldn't "weight" to get on the scale this morning. I knew I had lost a couple more pounds, but I didn't expect to see the 15 pound goal (since 3/28) achieved this soon. I'm…
  • @ladipoet I have joined the group you linked and sent you a FR. Thank you!
  • THANKS for the warm welcome folks. I'm sending out those friends requests right now. I appreciate the advice and encouragement. I'm already down 13 pounds & lovin' it!
  • Nigiri, but I'm not eating rice right now. Would you rather have chips & salsa or ice cream?
  • Thank you. She's a lil stinker. So much personality for a 16 month old. They live 3 hours away, so we don't get to see her often enough. But, we treasure every moment we do get. :smiley:
  • @MelanieCN77, @Danp & @very_berry_pop, THANKS for the comments -- all of them. :) What I ended up doing yesterday was downloading the Notify & Fitness app for the Mi Band. I set it up, then deleted the Mi Fit app. After that, I turned Google Fit's tracking OFF. Next, I set N&F to sync with Google Fit. Then, made sure that…
  • @River_Goddess Thank you! I haven't seen the 21x's since 2012. And even then, only for a few months. I can't wait to hit the low 200's again. When I look at the snacks I want so badly (out of habit mostly), I keep telling myself, "You have a REWARD waiting. Go after it!" My rewards (in my mind, at least) are: 1- Walking my…
  • ::bragging a lil:: For the first time in a longggggg time, I weigh in the 220's -- okay, so it's 229.4, but I'm not in the 240's anymore. And, whilst I'm not one to toot my own horn, I am a lil proud of myself for getting on the bandwagon to better health. Most of all, I want to say THANKS for the encouragement I've been…
  • My wife and I tried them a few nights ago. IF you discard the water, ignore the initial smell and then rinse or cook them a bit to remove all the "fishy water", the soak up the flavor of whatever you cook with them quite well. We went back and bought 5 more packages to enjoy different shapes with other dishes.
  • I'm using Mi Fit, MFP & Google Fit. Nothing seems to be exact....and all 3 show different amounts of "walks", steps, etc. It's frustrating, but I'm being patient while I search for help.
  • Even though it's an old thread, I'm a new member. I live in the Whiteville, NC area.
  • Lunch salad with low carb Goddess dressing . Provolone-stuffed, bacon-wrapped chicken with Normandy blend veggies
  • Hi there! I started keto/paleo on 3/2/18. Already lost 11 lbs...39 more to go. I don't know that I can give advice as I am new, too. But, I'll gladly encourage anyone trying to make themselves better through common sense approaches. Currently, I am doing something similar to @thebcraig6881. I eat less than my allotted…
  • Just started ketogenic/paleo on 3/28/18. Lost 11 lbs as of today. Glad to know many of us are new. Here's a site I ran across that has Keto Recipes: https://perfectketo.com/category/recipes/.
  • 55 years old and losing 50 pounds. Encouragement appreciated!
