Wow, that's awesome! Congrats!!! Did you restrict/count your calories while doing keto?

You are so right! I never realized how much I was eating before actually measuring/weighing. Before, I would just scoop a big pile of rice on my plate with my meal. The other night I actually measured a cup - BIG eye opener! I was probably eating 3 cups at a time before! I have to get used to that feeling of not being…

What kind of cancer did you have? I am a breast cancer survivor, and so I'm on maintenance drugs for that, and I swear - it is the reason I packed on 70 lbs after chemo! It seems so much harder to lose weight now.

Thank you!!! I also buy notebooks to jot down recipes, or my measurements and weight and the date, etc. I’m a visual person and doing that helps! 🙂

You know the trick I have before was tell myself I’m going to drink a gallon of water a day. If I want a Diet Coke, I can’t have it until after I finish my gallon of water.

Thank you! Funny - I was just asking my dad for his weight loss advice yesterday. He was giving me a few tips and out of everything he said, I circled in on the "cut out the mayo and ranch dressing". He also gave up diet coke - and doesn't use salt anymore. Unbelievable to me because he would salt his food SO MUCH - when…

Thank you so much! I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved wife - and a cancer diagnosis on top of that! I myself am I cancer survivor - 3 years out. I think a lot of my weight gain has been from depression from that and the meds I'm on. I just recently weaned off my anti-depressant in hopes that might help with weight…

Thank you SO much everyone!!! These suggestions are awesome! Thank you for allowing me to vent here. I’m relieved to have received such positivity and understanding! (I was afraid to hear “just do it and stop with the excuses!”). I love going for walks, so I’m thinking I’ll start going for one every night with the kids.…
