I am new to low-carb (Wednesday was day 1) and so far have not had a huge struggle. Up until Sunday I was gassy, but that seems to have cleared up now. Are you doing low-carb and low-fat or any combination of low-anything? I have noticed when I try to be low-cal/sugar/fat with low-carb, I feel deprived. If I follow…

I am new to low carb/keto eating but I'm doing my best to learn quickly. :smile:

I am just super new to low carb eating, but I am looking for keto people to help me understand what I'm doing! I'll add all of those above. :smile:

I also live in Alberta, my husband and I budget $600/month for groceries (but we usually wind up eating out most nights instead... bad for the budget AND waistline!). We are trying to cut back our spending so have decided to start making a weekly grocery list/meal plan, buy groceries online from Wal-mart (to hopefully cut…

Wow way to go! Good feeling hey? Can't wait until I get a NSV. :)

Lol, liked the article. I personally eat half a grapefruit (with a bit of sugar since I'm still getting used to the straight up taste) and two poached eggs for breakfast because it helps me to feel awake and energized. Not sure if it's maybe the strong citrusy flavour, but I just enjoy my days better with grapefruit. :)

I used to weigh daily because I felt it helped me make better choices. When I was doing that, I was happy to see even a 0.1 drop from one day to the next and was excited to do myself proud the next day as well, but when I would slip and see any gain at all, it threw me into a bad attitude and I would just stop caring. Now…

I'm puzzling-kirsten.tumblr.com !

Go ahead and add me too! The more support you can get, the better! :flowerforyou:

I would, but I don't have a HRM and I don't have the money to buy one. :grumble:

I'm 5'9"-5'10" HW/SW: 230 pounds CW: 215 pounds GW 150-170 pounds depending on where I truly become comfortable. The lowest weight I remember being is 190 pounds when I was 14 (at 14 I wasn't much shorter than I am now). It has been hard because most people in my family are overweight, so I never knew what I should look or…

Some nice ideas here! I spend a lot of time with my boyfriend looking up recipes on kraftcanada.com and I recently discovered skinnytaste.com and I find that planning out at least a week in advance makes it easier. You know what you're making, so you pull out whatever meat you're having for it to thaw or what have you, and…

So far... 15 minutes stationary cycling with raised weighted arms (213 calories) 24 minutes Zumba (235 calories) We'll see if I have the energy to get anymore in. :)

I knew my boyfriend for 6 months before we started dating. Now we've been together for 4.5 years, will be moving out together in April/May when I graduate from college, and then marriage is on the horizon!

Bump! :)

I started at about 237 in September 2010. Even now I'm hovering around 210-215. You're not alone! :)

I'm a college weightloser. :P It is pretty tough with all the temptations right on campus... But I just try to remember how over priced it all is and how sick most of it makes me feel. It's not worth five minutes of deliciousness just to feel sick for the next 48 hours. Maybe I just have a sensitive stomach... Lol. As far…

Sorry, I don't know how to post pics. :ohwell: April 2010 - Black infinity symbol behind my right ear. Many reasons for this one. August 2011 - Ladybug on my inner right arm just below where my elbow bends. I got this one the day my grandmother passed away as a tribute to her. We had a ladybug thing. It was one of our…

I live in Canada, and have been a size 16 since I was 14 (despite my weight gain of approx. 40 pounds). I'd say, as other people have, that in stores live Rietman's or where ever else that have a separate side of the store, or a specific wall that you have to shop from that THAT is a plus size. Not that it really matters,…

I'm doing this on my own and always have been. My boyfriend is overweight, and would like to weigh less, but isn't willing to change any of his habits (bad eating or exercise)... He tries to be supportive, but still wants pizza or nachos or wings or whatever on the weekends, and it's getting to the point where I think I…

I tend to be over my sugar limit by lunch time. I try really hard to avoid things that are highly processed or have added sugar, but as a college student it's really hard sometimes. I finally got my fats under control, so I'm working on the sugars more now. :)

5'10" looking for 170. Once I'm there, I'll decide whether I need to keep going or not. :)

Soon to be 21. :)

I LOVE BodyRockTV. I haven't tried any workouts yet just because I'm in such awful shape that I think they would kill me, but this will be SO useful. I've saved these workouts for myself: Fit *kitten* Exercise Challenge (Formally Sumo Squat Step Up Challenge)…

Oops, double post. :P

I weigh myself first thing in the morning after using the washroom. I currently weigh twice a week (Mondays for a challenge from a different site, Tuesdays for my personal weigh). I used to weigh daily, but I found the up and down that occurs with our bodies just really made it hard.

Name : Kirsten (KirstenHits170) Current weight : 212.1 lbs (12.26.11) Goal weight : 170 lbs What you would like to accomplish in 90 days : Healthier eating, as well as a better exercise regimen (since I'm currently doing NOTHING) And I will post a "before" photo on the 1st. :)
