My husband told me my cupcakes are back! ;)

The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners by Amy Ramos, on Amazon. Loved it; it helped me so much during the first month or two adjusting to keto: Educational and simple explanations in the first part of the book, and very easy and helpful 2-week meal plan. Includes a list of ingredients to buy and keep in your pantry.

I'm looking for an update! ;) Thinking positive that congrats are in order for you.

Logged in and counted calories every day for 6 months. Lost 25 pounds along the way. 25!

1. Wear my wedding ring again 2. BMI under 30 3. Not be prediabetic so get off meds 4. Going back to work as a healthier me in "the after", whenever that is Plus, as others have noted, a healthier weight means less risk of succumbing to COVID-19. Love feeling thinner and fitter, going down in clothing sizes, and finding…

I've lost 20 pounds so far, have about 50 to go, so it's all little things right now: Pants fit looser, bra hooks are one step tighter, my blood work came back with better numbers. When I walk in my very hilly neighborhood, I can make it to the top of the hill without stopping and gasping for breath. I'm able to tell DH…

I'd like to join.

Congratulations for being YOU. I wish you luck in finding a good trans support system for your weight loss and your entire journey. I've seen a few different posts on reddit specifically for trans weight loss support that might be worth checking out.

I feel your pain. Yes, I've been there too, but this is YOUR story. Think of this as another chapter in the story of YOU. You've come to the last page of one chapter and now YOU get to write what comes next. COVID-19 has challenged so many people, you are not alone. Here they call it the COVID-15 or COVID-19 for the amount…

If you're looking for keto recipes, or thinking about going keto, The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners by Amy Ramos is wonderful. It answers a lot of basic questions about how keto works and it has a 2-week meal plan that makes it easy to start. The book was my bible the first month or so that I was on keto. I use and…

Welcome to Keto! There are a wealth of websites, and I'll list some of my favorites, but I would highly recommend you read The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners by Amy Ramos. I read it cover to cover and learned so much that helped start my diet. Here are a few websites I like: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/…

I really enjoy the Nutty Shortbread Cookie from the Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners, by Amy Ramos. I swapped out hazelnuts for almonds and love them. I'd eat them even if I wasn't on a Keto diet, they're that good. Actually, that book was my bible the first 2-3 weeks on Keto. I read it from cover to cover. The Keto…

Great idea to post this. I was grateful for beautiful weather today. My adult son and I walked the dogs after getting off work at 1pm and had a delightful walk. The iris, dogwood, and cherry blossoms were great to see, and it was so peaceful.

@AlexandraFindsHerself, We know stress affects people in different wways. Added to that, people are stuck at home with fewer distractions and tough news everywhere. Staying focused on a healthy lifestyle has given the hubs and me something to focus on other than the steady stream of disconcerting news, and I am determined…

Height 5'3" SW 210.8 CW 195.0, March was chaotic, hectic, stressful as I transitioned into working from home 4 days a week and dealing with the pandemic at home and work. I consider it a success to continue losing weight since snacking is a temptation. I have found that logging my meals on MFP before each meal and even…

Love Bill Bryson. Excellent choice.

Kudos to you.Bask in the feeling of accomplishment.

Congratulations -- well done! Give yourself a big pat on the back. I'm right there with you. Today marks 15 pounds down and fitting into size 16 again. Now, to 14. I have a little post-it on my desk at my office with a big "16" on it to remind me to stay focused to get to size 16. Now since I'm working from home, I'll…

Congrats to you! That is awesome!!!

You are transforming yourself and inspiring me. You deserve to walk proudly because you've conquered a lot! Being sober 9 years and quitting cigarettes are both extremely difficult. Add to that all the other work you've done AND your weight loss? Awesome sandwich! Remember your successes when you get discouraged, but keep…

I have made yogurt twice using an Instant Pot, one that has a yogurt button. Couldn't be any easier. I used the recipe from here: www.friedalovesbread .com/2017/06/easy-cold-start-yogurt-no-boil-method The site answers loads of questions, suggests what kind of products work best, and the yogurt was delicious. I am curious…

Wow. Just WOW. Agree with everyone else. I am 5 feet 3 inches and weigh WAY more than you. And I still am not the fattest person at my height. He is full of $%&#. And to say your weight is off putting ... He is being mean and rude. No loving partner would say that. And nobody deserves to be spoken to like that. I wonder…

Ok, been a steady 1.25 pound loss per week since the new year. SW: 210.8 CW: 197.0 as of this a.m. Just shy of 14 pounds so far. I'm happy with that. 15 pounds is my next goal, and loving that my clothes fit better. My boss keeps sharing unhealthy recipes with staff, food is always shared at work, (till Corona virus) and…

Me, too! Except I am waiting till I lose another 30-40 pounds. I make the badges where I work, so I'll get to take my new picture when I'm ready.

Ladycopnh1, sending hugs your way. I don't know what I can say except I feel your pain and wish I could make it all better. I might have eaten a whole cheesecake topped with Chunky Monkey. Give yourself the right to have a bad week and then get back on when you can. We will be here for you.

January starting weight: 210.8 January end weight: 205.4 February end weight: 200.2 March 7: 198.8 Twelve pounds lost so far.

@Ally112020 Have you been able to go for a walk again? Not sure if weather keeps you indoors. I find that the winter months are harder for me to exercise because I don't do rain and snow too well. And for many people, winter months also affect moods. I am looking for the right affordable indoor exercise program that will…

I would love to share recipes as I'm new to Keto -- been doing it 2 months so far and lost 10 pounds. I am looking for recipes with full nutrition info to make it easy to track macronutrients. I've found several recipes here: https://www.wholesomeyum.com/recipe-index/ I'm also looking forward to trying this for St.…

Love it! A sense of humor really helps as well!

... and you did it -- the first steps on your journey! Congratulations for reaching out (Step 1) and walking for an hour (Step 2). To stay motivated, I set mini-goals for myself. It could be "lose 5 pounds", or "don't eat that cake at work". When I reach my goals I do something (healthy) to celebrate. Maybe watch that…
