I gain every other day, it seems. Then I lose. Then back up. Then down more. It's the trend that matters. As long as I'm going down overall.

Hi there I'd love some IF friends!

I had mine removed last week and today I stepped on the scale 9 pounds lighter.

Same here, too. From 218 to 180 now I'm way back up to 230. :( We can do it!

Ooooooo!!!!! YUM!

Right?? Same with mayo. :s

TVP!!!! I was trying to remember that, thank you! This is going to be a really fun adventure, isn't it? :D

Oh it's ON!!!! Thanks for all of your assistance!! :)

Thanks @ploomka for commenting and lending an ear! Or would it be an eye? :D I'm all prepped up to keep on taking this one day at a time. I have my diary filled out, ready to tweak grams. I need to get some tofu. I think that will help with protein. Also stevia. I know where to get it with no fillers, it's just above my…

The all-or-nothing part of me cringes and even scoffed a little at the suggestion to "cut back a little at a time" suggestion from not only you, but tcun as well. Because it's not instantly gratifying! *facepalm* Ai yai yai my BRAINS! :D So I'm going to take, EXACTLY THAT ADVICE, and learn some new habits and conquer those…

Oh my!! Thank you, @tcunbeliever !! I'll be back when I'm finished researching/reading!!

Thanks, @tcunbeliever ! I believe the adherence issue stems from a combination of having a sweet tooth as well as having the belief that animals have souls and I don't want to partake in the eating of them. I fall short, as a lifetime meat eater, but I'm just working on a day to day basis. It's also come to light that I am…

Well, Paragard is a non hormonal iud. The copper prevents any fertilized egg from implanting. (I think. I ain't no rocket surgeon) I have one. I've had it about ten years. I've never had a problem losing OR gaining from it.

I'm just coming off a week long flu. I also am doing a restart starting today. I tend to want comfort food when stressed/sick. Luckily I'm only up one pound, so I must've been eating close to maintenance. I hope you feel better soon!

Gah, I tried chia chocolate pudding again, using my ground chia and :s it's all bad. Now I need to pick up some Greek yogurt and use my seeds in a different way!!

So I read a few articles and did a little research, and it's just weird. I mean, aside from calling keto a 'new' way of eating ( :D ), at the end of this particular article: https://www.health.com/sexual-health/keto-crotch, the Dr. states that's it's NEVER normal for the vagina to have an odor. :|

The *kitten*????? This is the first I've heard of this. And here I thought it was hormonal. :D :D :D :D

:D Me too!!!!!! I have come to the conclusion that attempting to fast and not eating regularly is what was causing my hostility/rage/irritability the last time I really committed! I kept reading 'Dont eat if you aren't hungry, and Fasting is the best!' So I was tanking out and getting ( again I heard and was told over and…

This is like, my eighth attempt at fat loss and I've been weighing everything! I'm eating around 1750 a day and in 45 days I've lost 17 pounds!! I have two scales, one by my coffeepot (I drink A LOT of coffee with cream) and one where I prepare/plate my food. It's almost.... Magical. Oh I'm 5'10" and started at 235. I'm…

I'm a bit over a month in and while I'm averaging an hour less a night, I'm sleeping like a ROCK. And waking up feeling rested. I'll take it!!

I joined Low Carber Daily Forum. There's also a group called Keto. You can get some really good info there and the members are awesome!! :)

I'm doing very good at MOSTLY staying at 5% but I have some days in which I go up to 100. My goal is losing weight and I apparently don't need ketosis to lose. I've lost 13 lbs so far (about a month in)! So I'm not strict, just playing it by ear. :)

Salt, salt and salt. Also, magnesium at night!

I have jello. Peanuts. Baking cheese squares, in quarter slices, makes delicious crisps!

For your coffee! Skimmed milk is a sad sad coffee creamer. :)

Hey how about half and half? One carb per serving? Eh? *waggles eyebrows*

Thanks, Sunny_Bunny :)

What's better inches or pounds? :D I should measure, huh?

Oh boy, I have two years worth of screwing around. To the point where I put back on the weight I lost plus twenty! I feel like not making a big deal of going off track and not using a high carb food choice as an excuse to binge is really what has me feeling like I've finally gotten a grasp on this thing! And I know it's…

Same. I just rolled with it this time.
