Start Weight (May 24,2018) 248.2 lbs GW for September 199.999 lbs - or go away 200's!! Near term goal 179.9 lbs I have about 5 weeks until vacation so hoping to reach a number that doesn't have a 2 in the first digit. I know it's a bit of a stretch but if I aim high it helps me stay focus. Today is my 100 days of…

I had to call roadside assistance…

I'm single so I'm on my own but all my friends are very supportive and really stay out of my plate. I have a close friend who leaves far away who would not support this at all (I know from past experiences), therefore she doesn't need to know. My little guy is my biggest supporter: always asking me if something is ok for…

Restaurants were to far for me to care to drive to. My hotel was nice and had a good…

Good morning, A new month and a new travel schedule. This month again I will be spending a lot of my time on the road with a quick 4 day trip. I'm kinda getting tired of this because it disturbs my routine. On a positive note, I find myself rearranging my closet a lot lately- moving to the front items that I can start…

My short-term motivation is the fact that I have a closet full of cloths size 14. I can currently squeeze into 16 but I'm only buying essentials and keep wearing dresses and skirts with elastic waistband. In two months, I'm going on vacation with my sister (haven't seen her for over a year). My goal is to fit into my size…

Good morning all, It's been a crazy busy week and I skipped my workout two days in a row because I felt so tired. My friend call me out on that on the second day, so when I got home that night I felt so guilty sitting on the couch doing nothing that I had to force myself to get up and do a jump rope workout. I think that…

Good morning all, It’s so hot here I can’t sleep, so I’m just waiting for the sun to be up so I can go for a walk. Have a great week!

On my way to the airport (I’m finally heading home!!!😎) I stopped at a grocery store to grab something to eat for breakfast and lunch to carry me thru the next 12 hours. And I found this little package with everything I wanted

@chinatowninchina Thank you for the kind words. It is amazing to see such a noticeable change in such a short period. I have not looked into new jean (way too hot here to wear this time of the year), but I'm definitely see a difference in the way dresses and skirts fit me.

Good morning all, Just wanted to share my biggest NSV being able to buckle my seat belt on a plane and have multiple inches left. At my top weight just about two months ago, I would extend my seat belt to the max and would be able to buckle it that way, but there was one flight that I had to really really pull hard and…

I have watched recently a YouTube video by a dr. about IF. He explained the process and the science behind it. However, he mentioned that women should modify the fasting period to be shorter (12-14 hrs) because our body will go to survival mode and is always preparing for a possible pregnancy and if fasting for too long,…

I had a skinny B!t€h (vodka and club soda) and I could not finish it. Half way thru I started to feel the alcohol just like if I have been doing shots all night. I guess it’s good news to my pocket. Makes my nights out a lot cheaper.

Last day of June so time to set a July goal. I didn't meet my June GW but I'm ok with that. I was on the road for 10 days and still managed to drop some lbs. The same story goes for July. I have back to back travel, but this time it to known locations, so I feel I can prepare better. I also think I'm a pro now getting…

I only packed on pair of workout pants for my 11 day trip relaying on access to hotel washers. 3 weeks ago they were skin tight- now they are falling off! I better get home soon before I have a wardrobe malfunction at the gym :D

A quick update: travel day was very long with flights cancelled and rerouted, BUT I have packed my lunch with me with enough Ice to survive the 3+ hours between kitchen and airport security checkpoint. I got rid of the ice there and ate my lunch the moment I stepped on the plane. On my layover I bought a cup of soup with…

Hi Larry - welcome. I think keeping simple in the beginning is key. Figure out your macros and then eat the amount of protein you need to sustain you lean body mass, add some greens and avocados as your carbs and the fat will be mostly from your protein ( eat chicken legs and thighs with skin or good quality uncured bacon…

My point is chewing your food vs. eating powder additives/supplements. It’s not a one to one replacement therefore I only count fiber that I had to chew for my body to use. This is just me based on principles of eating unprocessed food. But again this what I do. I also don’t redeem exercise calories for food calories…

@PaulChasinDreams I see skinny jeans in your near future ;)

Although I…

I just do the math myself but only deduct fiber from actual food like veggies and fruits. I don’t deduct it from processed food because well that fiber was already processed. Otherwise, We could have just diff ourselves with a bunch of empty carbs and sprinkle it all with fiber supplement and call it zero carbs too.

This is pretty awesome! Incredible transformation in such a short time. Someone needs to go shopping for new pants :)

My NSV for this week: tried on trousers that I bought last year and were a bit too tight to wear in public. I haven’t touched them since then. I tried them on today and they fit perfectly. The only problem that I have is they are still too long lol. I guess no amount of keto and discipline is going to make me taller ;) I…

@xDaniDragonflyx I don’t check bags. I travel with a small carry-on but I never had problem taking dry food on the plane with me. Again I’m not worried about options at the airport since I know I won’t have time for that. I’m trying to adjust my normal routine of taking banana apples and a sandwich in my bag to something…
