Read a lot, get your electrolytes and eat your vegetables. I've been on and off keto for almost 2 months (I had an injury and couldn't really cook so I was off for about a week) and I'm currently 9 lbs down with about 30-35 lbs left to loose. I didn't really intend to fast but sometimes I do because I'm just not hungry.…

Sent out some friend requests, feel free to add me!

Back at it again. The first time with my IRL support system I lost about 60 lbs (woo-hoo, right?). Lost my support system and have put back on 20 lbs, so about 40 ish away from my goal. Would love more friend and to build a virtual support system. I don't follow any special diets or lifestyle, mostly just portion control,…

I used this app to lose 60 lbs a few years ago, then I lost my IRL support system and my motivation, and gained back 20 lbs. So here I am, starting over again. 40 lbs-ish to lose and really struggling. I have no irl support system and I really need some friends to cheer me on when I'm doing good and kick me in the *kitten*…

1 TBS baking soda mixed into 1 C hot water until dissolved completely. Wait for it to cool before using. Just pour some onto your hair while in the shower and massage in, then rinse completely. The baking soda helps dry up excess oils and deodorize your hair without over drying and without the chemicals. I only wash my…

I have! I was beginning to think I was the only one who did this

People tell me I'm "getting too thin" or "going to blow away". I look them in the eyes and say with a straight face "that's the point". Now it's their turn to figure out what to say. I figure my weight, my body, my business - i don't need commentary. Note: I only do this when the people are being serious. If they are…

My boss actually tested this theory as the prescription he was on stopped working. 1 TBSP per day in the evening and in about 3 weeks he was better than he had been on the meds. He still has flair ups from time to time, but he is a believer. My father had good luck with local bee pollin, too. He hasn't had problems for…

Honest answer? I'm not male but hubby has lost about 20lbs and upon measurement ( I told him it looked bigger, he didn't believe me), he has gained about 1/2 inch.

MFP settings of 1530 (no I did not update them, ever. Day 315 and I'm still losing, just slower), occasionally cheating, eating fast food within my calorie goal and mostly walking. Edit to add: I also eat alot of cheese. And carbs. And bacon.

My hubby is doing supreme 90. Since it cycles through strength and cardio, he logs it as circuit training. I don't know how accurate it is, but he's been tracking food, too and losing so it has to be pretty close.

I confess that at this moment in time I am working on substitutions for a lower calorie chocolate glazed donut recipe. Mind you they run around 250 cals each for store bought. If I can get it below 200 with good flavor, I'll post the recipe. I also confess to my sweet tooth addiction (as if you didn't already know)...

If it makes you feel any better, my binge today was worse than yours ( -1615 cals for me). It happens to almost everyone once in a while but as you can see by my ticker, it definitely won't hurt you much in the long run as long as you wake up tomorrow and do the best you can.

Same way you sneak veggies to kids: grated carrots in with macaroni, chopped up green veggies in the meatloaf. Moral of the story: if he can't see it he cant' b!tch.

"Blow has no calories and the sex is great exercise"

All things in moderation. I never stopped eating the foods I love, I just learned what a portion size is and made sure I had the calories to cover it. In the begining hersey's hugs were my best friend because i could fit it into my calorie goal easy AND if you don't chew them they take a while to melt, so it calmed my…

My job ranges from 8 hour days 5 days a week to 12 hour nights/days 3.5 days a week, it just depends on what they need me to cover. When on night shift I have "breakfast" before I go to bed between midnight and 5am, then I wake up around 3pm have "lunch" and "dinner" before midnight. This allows me to still track from…

I have been in that relationship and the best advice I can give is in the form of a question. If nothing changed in your relationship would you be happy in 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? It's not a fun lesson to learn but you can't have a relationship with someone based on what you want them to be or change. It's not fair to…

When i started the 100 push up challange, I did it for the first time all the was through by leaning twords a wall and "pushing-up" away from it. It will still build muscle, but will be a lower intensity. Once you make it through that way you can increase the incline by pushing up against a desk or some stairs. Just…

Crystal the 29 year old female here from texas. Have lost 52lbs but still have almost 50 more to go, so I'll be here a while. I don't comment much over little things but when you have a loss or pushed through and exercised when you didn't want to, I'm there. I log on everyday (almost to 295 in a row) and my diary is open…
