88olds, Thank you so much. It's very difficult sometimes to just step aside and be reasonable when all the emotion becomes overwhelming. Even when I know it's ultimately holding me back thinking in such a negative way. I feel like the determination has somehow escaped and I'm trying to find it but I am looking in the wrong…

I really want to work on lifting weights and gaining some definition. I also nee to lose more weight but I am on the right track. I also want to be more consistent with my exercise as I have been slacking with it recently...so, here I am at 07:00 having done 3 short work outs already. One at 3am, the next at 4am and the…

Best wishes to you! I have been at this for 2.5 years now and after much indulgence over the holidays, I feel like I am starting from scratch! Started this morning off well... :)

I've lost 129lbs so far but still have a little more to lose. I'm determined! I started in June 2018 and was initially CICO but the weight loss slowed down a great deal after a year and so I have been doing keto since July 2019. I am also OMAD and try not to go over 1,300 calories per day but I do sometimes go over that. I…

I had double what you have to lose and I’ve lost over 100lbs. It’s hard but it’s doable — you CAN do this. :)

Probably not the advice you’re looking for but to be blunt — just do it. :)

I’ve been doing keto for 8 months now. The first six months I was extremely strict and didn’t have a single cheat meal in that time. I had carbs over Christmas, which felt great but I’ve been strict again ever since. Sometimes I do find it difficult since I really miss many things but actually, I’m eating much more variety…

I’ve recently been told that I’m too obsessed with food and weight loss and not to lose too much more because it won’t suit me. I’m still 40lbs overweight! I have to be obsessed, my life matters.

I’ve also lost just over 100lbs. I still have another 50 to go but that feels so much better than having 150 to lose :) well done, I know how difficult it is.

Hi Chris. I know that feeling all too well...I lost a lot of weight when I wa 25 but gained it all back too — I was so angry with myself but I know that’s silly now...being angry with myself is wasted energy and I need a lot of energy to focus on loving myself instead. The good thing is that YOU’RE HERE! You have taken the…

I’ve lost over 100lbs since I started in June 2018. I am so happy but still have a bit to go so I think I’ll be ramping the exercise up a gear come January. I’d like to try C25K and see how I get on. I just know that the me of two years ago is so proud of the me of today :)

I’ll be in onederland very soon. I haven’t been there since I was about 16 lol.

I reached 88lbs (6 stone, 4lbs) lost today so my mini goal is to reach 100lbs lost within the next few weeks. :)

That’s what I’m thinking. I sure hope so anyway. :)

I have no idea as there is no nutritional information provided regarding the sauce, either on the main box or in the sachet. That’s why I’m so confused.

Thanks, Ang. I guess Philadelphia isn’t as bad as I remember.

I seem to remember seeing it in the past also but can’t find it.

Hi there. I’m starting keto again this week. I’m looking for recommendations on best places to find keto products as I found my local supermarket to have little options. For example....a low carb cream cheese...Tesco only had Philadelphia and it seems to have a lot of carbs.

Never heard of this. Thanks for the suggestion.

Interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Precisely. If people lose weight and are able to create an enjoyable lifestyle, there's no real reason as to why they shouldn't be able to keep the weight off without surgery.

Wow, you look amazing. Well done to you for maintaining such a huge weight loss. You're now one of my inspirations. :)

Thanks everyone. This is most certainly a mental challenge more than anything and I think anyone who embarks on the weight loss journey needs to realise that it's a permanent mental challenge; I think acknowledging this from the get go is the best thing and will set people up much better for success. Having said that...I…

I have never been one for alcohol. I used to drink very occasionally but only because I felt pressured into doing so as my friends always complained when I didn't want to drink. These days, I don't care what anyone thinks. I don't enjoy alcohol and I'm not going to force myself to drink it to please anyone. I may try it on…

It's been a while since I posted in here but thought I'd update it -- I've now lost well over 60lbs. I'm still determined and am working very hard. I have already proven myself and am proud of myself. Can't wait to lose more though! :)

Hi all. Feel free to add me too. I’m close to my half way point but still have about 90lbs to lose. I don’t really log my food (some people only like friends who log everything)but I am very active on here.

I have a few items of clothing I’ve also had for at least 15 years and refused to throw out because I KNEW I would ft into them again one day. Some I fit into again but others, not quite yet. I don’t even like half of them but I’m a bit weird when it comes to throwing things away. Charity shops it is i think, lol.

Yes I think it’s all about the individual and how they respond to the way of eating. I don’t like keto because I feel too much like I’m dieting, an that was what I wanted to avoid from day 1. This is a lifestyle and I don’t want to feel restricted, I want to merely be sensible.

Haha, I know what you mean about the ketovengalists! I find it too restrictive to keep it up long term — gimme bread, damnit! lol. I think CICO is best for me.

Hi all. I’m half way through my month of keto. Not enjoying it tbh but I gave myself the challenge so I’m sticking with it until the end so that’s my current goal. :)
