I'm in! After gaining 20 lbs in the last 2 years it's time to kick it! Starting Weight :172 Goal weight: 152

Day 3 keto here too. Can I join your FB group? Would love support as friends think I'm eating "too much fat" and don't understand. But I'm already feeling so good and no "keto flu" woo hoo! I have done this before but always fallen off the wagon and never really stuck with it beyond 2-3 weeks without a huge pizza binge.…

Further update: 2 weeks in... No loss:(

This is a great post. I'm struggling with the same thing and have made it my goal (for now) to just log EVERYTHING. Even if it's embarrassing and over maintenance. This way, I you can actually see how much you're really eating and accept the flubs, learn and move on. I like the idea of saving up a "bank" for the weekend…

Please talk with you Dr about this. Maybe a different RX than what you were on? If you're not on any meds now, I would Recommend 5HTP. It's a precursor to serotonin and can really help if that is why you're feeling depressed. It is a naturally occurring amino acid so there are no side effects. you can get it at whole foods…

This cracked me up. I have nearly thrown my back out seeing myself in a thong as well(in a bad way).

Update: I've competed almost the first week and have managed to count all my calories (even the bad ones that I would normally pretend didn't happen). I'm going for about a 500 calorie deficit. I'd rather it take twice as long to lose the weight and have it stay off. As for low carb- there are two reasons that it doesn't…

Thanks! I always like a good reference point from real people, not just a caluclator

Thank you! I'm always worried about dropping too low and Eating my muscle, like I did with HCG.

Love the tootsie roll tip. Dark chocolate and wine sound very doable Is 1600 too low?

I work full time from home and have 2 kids little kids who don't even let me pee by myself. If I did that one of them would likely end up riding their bikes in the highway. Good suggestion though. No excuses though - that's just not sustainable for me

Yes. And yes. An attitude adjustment is in order. But are you hungry in your success? I don't mean cravings? I mean does your stomach growl before bed at night? That's my marker.

I'm 5'7, 175(+-) 32 y/0, desk job/ sahm I'm logging around 1600 per day now when I don't blow it on a binge day.

I often loose faith that it will work after a week or 2 then dive in to some low carb or paleo or shake thing and then blow it all rather quickly on one night of beer and pizza. I don't want to give up cream in my coffee, or wine a few times a week. :( do I have to? I run 3-5 times a week and do yoga too

So I got all ready to get on the scale this morning... Clothes off, bladder empty.... - low battery- So it's still a mystery lol. Devine intervention??? Possibly :)

Love the Shakespeare!

I recently completed a second round of the HCG diet. I lost 15 lbs but gained it back quickly after Phase 3 was over.
