Looks like you’ve done great! Please don’t let others discourage you from eventually having it removed.... my “ procedure “ after children gave me more confidence then before. We all make our own choices . A good plastic surgeon would not work on you .... yet 🌸

We all have a choice to be all that we can be ,no matter how mom /dad ruined us 😊 🌸I’m not blaming genetics 🌸

I too found almond milk too costly so I started making Kefir Milk for cows milk. The fermentation process removes the sugar and drops the calories. The thickness is yummy! And even works well with 2% milk. It’s really easy to do and I think in the long run the thin, expensive nut milks will leave you wanting a thicker…

No food should be off limits ... But once you realize what some foods count as you might look at them differently. Many restaurants meals are a whole days calories 😳!!You can eat how you choose to but you will only see results when you burn off more calories then you eat . Input output it’s as simple as that . Good luck…

I log my “ bad days “ because it stops me by seeing the calories I’ve consumed. Yesterday I made buns and ate 3.... by logging them I skipped a meal and stayed on track even though my carbs were higher then usual . Honesty is important even with yourself , and starting over again after a day like that takes discipline.…

What are your other macros at? Fat & protein, A high fat diet is very satisfying and filling , There is no correct number of calories you should consume . If you have energy and feel good and are also losing the weight to want to ?? Good job 🌸 I stay under 75 carbs and eat 1450 calories, I’m active all day .

If you just pudgy..😊, I’d add some exercise to your day . Even just a fast walk will tone you both up , yes you might be hungry after but discipline is needed. I’m questioning 1700 for a man ... how much did you say you want to loose a week? Also another thought, measure each other Arms, chest, waist thighs , calf’s ...…

I was told by a nutritionist that sugar tends to gather in the waistline, check your sugar calories and try to cut it down . No onejump on me !!! It was a registered nutritionist that said this

Please don’t put your life goals into anyone else’s hands , only YOU can make the changes to your lifestyle. If you aren’t successful then I’d say you really don’t have a reason to succeed. You can succeed ,but you have to really want it🌸

@linzijohnstonebest , I gave you a hug because sharp words fly so easily here. People hiding from view can be so mean . You are doing what works for you , I’d be aware if you feel hungry and make changes if necessary.Your loss is normal for the last few pounds .... keep going you’re doing great 🌸

I agree that keto is just Adkins relabeled. I’m a fan of low carb ,high protein and fat . How we choose our macro numbers is completely up to each individual. I have to say that with the help of fat bombs I have lost more weight then I ever have and I feel satisfied and even full most of the time 🌸

I found these great whole grain wraps freeze them , grab one some cheese and ham or shrimp or cooked salmon or whatever protein ... yummy!! I cook salmon, chicken ,bacon ahead and freeze , just grab what you need and warm it up .

It’s a very thought provoking question, Hubbys diabetic and only counts net carbs to equal insulin amounts . I can tell you when he’s stressed or planning and calculating his blood sugar goes low as fast as when he’s working out . It took me years to see his lows starting when his parents were over stressing us out 🤔

@amy19355 I’d go to the dr , there is a good chance your doses will decrease as your weight drops. After 10 pounds lost my pain medication requirements dropped , Oh hormones we can’t live without you or with you .....🌼

@FutureMrsCarver89 I think your hormones are messed up from your diet changes. Hormones are infuriating and stressing will only make it worse , I’d see your dr just to talk it trough , they might even suggest a low dose pill to regulate your periods . Hugs & Chocolate 🌸

I think it’s important to eat at regular intervals, or you risk a binge. The sad thing is most of us could go many hours and not “ feel “ hungry , after stomach surgery I lost the ability to feel hunger/full triggers. Try planing your 3 meals and two snacks for a week and see how you feel , but don't base your decisions on…

@witchaywoman81 oh I feel for you! No one can hurt you as family can . It’s just not accepted to say you can’t relate to your mom.... I’m not sure why .You shouldn’t feel like you need a thicker skin , mean is mean ! I just decided years ago that I can’t make my mom be what I need her to be so I’ll try to remember the good…

Even just walking everyday will help your mood and could improve your outlook on life . I know it sounds dramatic but fresh air is a gift 🌸

Eating less then you used to doesn’t guarantee a loss, as stated above you are considered a healthy weight now. I’d suggest you should stop weighing and start exercising and measuring your self. It might just be tightening up that your need. Good luck figuring it all out 🌼

@christinekojack your hysterectomy could be the culprit, you could be going into menopause....

Why is chocolate milk good after a workout in your mind? Is it the protein ? Sugar? Maybe try making a homemade hot chocolate mix .... with low sugar

This is a real test for you mom, I’d try to go to a dietitian with him and leave the food choices in their hand . The more you say no to certain foods the more he’ll find them . If a specialist plans snacks and meals for him he might be more inclined to listen . I feel for you , Just talk to him , Try to understand why?…

I order from amazon because this is half the price it is in superstore ( vanilla is good too)I’m in rural Manitoba and even though I love my place , shopping choices suck 🙄

Yes, by eating less then you burn off ,will have you loose weight , and exercise will build muscles and tighten up your body AND improve your mood by releasing endorphins... just a walk is all you need to start 🌸

@Icy_Fox , as I recovered from spine surgery I needed some way to exercise, I bought a stationary bike base, but just the wheels so I could sit in my favourite chair with all my cushions for support, Increase the tension for more of a workout ... just an idea 😊

Hello , If you track everything you eat and stay within your calorie range you will find success . Input / output it’s as simple as that !! Good luck 🌼

@AnnPT77 I completely agree with your philosophy! I’m embarrassed to say that until I cut out sugar I couldn’t smell the coconut in coconut oil ☹️so sad ... Now 8 months later I so enjoy the naturally sweet foods like strawberries and cream cheese. I will demonize refined sugar because it turns me into a demon 😡

Sounds good , I stopped eating sugar 8 months ago! I’m sure I’d fall off the wagon if I stated baking brownies 😊Enjoy them have a piece for me

Ok @travistocktoad , questioning something is a normal reaction to something Ive never heard of , unlike following blindly , I’ll ask for the facts ...which I’ve not seen yet ! If it works for you ?good Adios amigos, I’m not doing a weekly or monthly or yearly calories count because that just doesn’t make sense ,when you…

Yes , eating too little is as detrimental to your weight loss as too much ( in my opinion), give your body the fuel it needs to give you energy 🌸 I really cut out obvious sugar because I don’t like how it makes me feel .
