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.

An old friend fit and into nutrition used to tell me “fit women don’t eat fast food value meals”... that has stuck in my mind ever since.

This spoke to me.
