SW: 199 CW:186

SW: 199 CW: 189 < - - - GW: 165 I didn’t know there was a weigh in on the 17th 😬 I think I joined shortly before. I’ll weigh again on Sunday.

I do low carb. I eat a lot of veggies, great sources of protein and healthy fats. Few fruits. I feel happy, not deprived. I exercise when I want/can but my life doesn’t revolve around it. I’m trying to understand good better and treat myself better though it. I’ve been happy with my results so far... no complaints. I have…

I have always hated tomatoes. But I like them in fresh pico & bruschetta... couldn’t figure it out. Then I saw a recipe to roast them. They are amazing. They taste nothing like the tomatoes I know. They are a touch smoky, a bit sweet and they literally pop in your mouth - like the freshest, most succulent little bite of…

Hello! I’m 41. The part about being behind the camera hit home for me. I haven’t taken a full body pic of myself in a year that I would share with anyone. Makes me sad for my son. I want him to have pics of all of me if that makes sense. I have decided to try keto as low carb feels easiest & most enjoyable for me. Thanks…

Hi! Please add me! I can’t seem to find any supportive people lol except one woman... in regards to keto. Anyway... I find thinking ahead helps me. Just one bite at a time. I can see myself eating like this... until. Maybe some people can’t but give me salty over anything sweet or pasta/bread. I have found like 2-3 days…

Wow. That’s incredible. 7 pounds in 7 days! I’m just 6lbs in about a month ... keto as well.

I do it by default because I’m so full from dinner usually (in a proper filled way) that it lasts until at least 8-10am. Sometimes I will break it with coffee but won’t actually eat until 9/10am. It’s not something I do consciously. I am new to low carb/keto and I googled and realized without trying I’m doing it lol

When I eat veggies & have healthy fats and proteins I find I eat far less often, going under my calorie suggestion. Sometimes I’ll force myself to eat something tiny to get extra in but lately if I don’t feel hunger, I don’t eat. So... I’m still here and I seem to be ok. :)

I’m 41 and slowly pulling into the station... I still have regular cycles but I see to be showing other signs. However, I do keto and supposedly that’s supposed to limit some of the symptoms 🤷🏻‍♀️ Right now I’m struggling with insanely dry hands ....

As someone that had a breast reduction myself, I completely relate. After it was done my doctor told me very sweetly that if I wanted to go down even lower (I did but he took me as far down as he legally could) I would just have to lose about 10lbs. I wasn’t even that overweight yet... a little fluff. But it’s true. My…

I am not a ‘carb’ person - I can pass up Bread, pasta, sweets, etc. My only preference is potatoes which even then, I can have just time to time. I prefer salty, crunchy, meaty dishes & 1 piece of chocolate will do just fine for me if needed. So why am I overweight? Because I was not eating regularly, choosing fried or…

You can whip cottage cheese. Throw it in a blender, Nutribullet, etc for about a min. It will be very light and full - cottage cheese without the chunks. Then flavor how you wish.

Aldi now carries riced cauliflower in their frozen section. I was excited to find!

Hello! After dealing with some female hormone issues, I started tracking macros again - I have about 35lbs to lose to get my desired weight. After two weeks, I started noticing this weird taste in my mouth and was dropping weight & I was going about 12-14 hours without being hungry. Totally new for me. The weight I could…

Thank you!

Thanks everyone who has replied 😊

Thanks! How do I enable negative calorie adjustments? Do you mean Fit Bit or MFP?

25-30 lbs gain is normal - you should remember that from your first. I remember reading when pregnant, it’s a misunderstood theme to “eat for two”. And that pregnant women really only need to eat the additional calorie amount found in an orange. And orange! 🍊 That really helped keep things in perspective for me when…

Protein shake w/1 cup of fruit, Oui vanilla yogurt with some berries (sometimes banana) - it makes me feel like it’s a decadent treat but the fat helps keep me full and I get a little “treat” in my day with the carbs & sugar. Avocado toast (using half avocado) on a rice cake with red pepper flakes and a bit of salt, peanut…

I do too. But I don’t share my food diary. Sometimes I forget to “finish” my diary and hit complete but I go back and do it.

I’m 41 and had a similar perspective.

I’m tired of my underwear feeling tight on me 😂 I just cannot deal with it.

Thank your for your kind comment. I wasn’t offended. But I hear these boards are supportive but honestly, I haven’t seen much of that yet and I’ve been on almost a year. I was on before that but it was about 5 years ago so that doesn’t count to me lol Anyway... you’re a sweetheart for trying to straighten my…

If you have an Aldi, try there first. Your $50 will go much further. I would buy eggs (lots), lean turkey (at mine, it’s cheaper than the beef), canned tuna, cottage cheese, fruits, veggies... pasta is a good choice too.

I would love to support some folks. I don’t share my food diary so if that bores you, don’t add me. But I’m glad to always lend a hand to support and encourage.

When I was underweight people talked about my body. When I was overweight people talked about my body. It felt the same. Just different kinds of comments.

I think if you like it & it works for you, then stick with it. I feel better with less carbs. I also feel better when those carbs are whole grain or don’t have a lot of fat attached to them. I don’t and won’t avoid them completely but I see why some do.
