Haha. I usually get a stomach ache for a day or two when I change my eating pattern. But I guess we’ll see how it works out.

Added you all 😊

Hey Sol, sounds perfect - I’m also looking for some motivation! I won’t be able to exercise for a while & need help sticking to a stricter diet 😔 what are your goals?

Maybe! We do have a golf course nearby. I run in the grassy margin between the sidewalk and the road, in my neighbourhood. And yeah, the potholes are crazy 😓 I’ve been running there for a couple years now, and this summer is the first time I’ve gotten injured like that. I don’t know what I’m suddenly doing wrong 😣

Those are great ideas!!! I’ll definitely try them, thanks!

That sounds delicious, damn. Definitely want to try a real cheesecake next, then. Do you have a favourite recipe?

The lemon bars turned out pretty well, i ended up reducing the sugar from 1 1/3 cup to 1/3 cup, and added in more flour to replace it. Either because of the reduced sugar or because I baked it too long, the top got a little dry, but underneath was normal lemon bar-ness. Everyone liked that one. For the cheesecake, I found…

Thanks, that confirms my intuition that I can’t just leave it out! It didn’t say anything about potential substitutes to replicate the more important reactions, though. I’m really not sure where to look?

Thanks! Do you have a general ratio you aim for?

Yeah! The solstice is next weekend 🌸 I’m just hoping to see how other people have done it and what they keep in mind when trying to maintain volume and texture without the sweet taste.

http://www.littlehomesteaders.com/2014/03/lemon-lavender-bars/ How would I go about determining that, though.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m worried about :( maybe arrowroot or gelatin or something?

Im just worried because there’s more sugar in this recipe than flour. So if I take it out do I even have a recipe.

I’m not sure what you mean by why am I skipping sugar? I prefer things to be less sweet.

I did one a few months ago and it was awesome! Just that I spent a lot of time worrying about bumping into a bear 😂 I’ll have to pick up bear spray before going again. I’m glad it’s working for you! That sounds way too stressful for me 😂 buying an eight dollar marker every two weeks seems more fun, but you’re right that…

That’s a good idea, thanks! I’ll add it in. I’ve heard the 10% thing thrown around a lot, but for now time is easier to track for me. And the trail is like a twenty minute drive for me, so it would have to be a weekend-only thing anyway.

Sorry about the pink type 😅 here are the past days typed out: 4.16 15min 4.17 5min 4.18 10min 4.19 rest 4.20 15min 4.21 5min 4.22 10min 4.23 rest 4.24 20min 4.25 5min 4.26 15min 4.27 rest 4.28 rest 4.29 20min 4.30 5min 5.1 15min 5.2 rest 5.3 20min 5.4 5min 5.5 15min 5.6 rest 5.7 25min 5.8 5min 5.9 20min I finished C25K,…

Congrats!!!!

😍😍😍

I r a n to check. It’s back!!!

I’m not totally sure how much I need to lose 😂 I’ve been overweight my whole life. I’m 23 and currently 178. I think losing 20-30 more pounds of fat will put me in good shape, but I guess I’ll see when I get there! All of you guys can feel free to add me :) my diary’s open (or it will be when the MFP feed is fixed)

I FINALLY lost another pound and a half, after like a four month plateau! I got 31.6” around my waist this morning and I was so excited ✨ it’s getting there! That’s a really great idea about the journaling! How’s it going so far? I know journaling can really help you uncover some surprising insights.

Use a measuring tape! They’re like $2 if you need to buy one. Or you could motivate yourself by what you put in rather than what you get out. Like creating a pretty tracker and colouring it in when you do your exercise or meet your calorie goal or something. Or even stickers on a paper, which actually still works to…

I’m not new or newly focused but I’m sad about how quiet my wall is. Add me please :D

Oh no, did I put this in the wrong place D; thanks for the pointer!

I have an Apple Watch and no one to use it with 😊 anyone can feel free to add me

Your dress is so form fitting! I'm pretty sure this is what a potato sack fits like Anyway. The dress looks great on you and those are really beautiful colours! I don't see any reason to send it back.

"Beautiful behaviours" "Gorgeous habits" I never thought of it that way but I love your way with words. Congrats on your daughter's engagement and your new kitchen~

When I was four? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've been fat my whole life, and disgusted with it for almost the same amount of time.

I can't read their minds, obviously, but my guess is that your effort to improve yourself and your health is making them feel bad about themselves and their attempts to love themselves as they are. The fact that they have a group of people to support their unhealthy decisions is encouraging them to be more vocal and maybe…
