men are from mars, that's a fact LOL......

that is really great advice. This is how I started this time, it was for my health, not a number on a scale. I started just watching my carbs and trying to eat sensibly and as a side thing I kept track of calories, too. I got alot of really bad labwork back on January 2, and I felt like I was fighting for my life, never…

I think with the P90X thrown into the mix, you might be building muscle, too, so I would suggest just staying around 1300 calories a day and continue with your activity, maybe bump up the walking a little or speed it up, keep up with the other exercises and increase your water. My routine is lower carbs, make sure to get…

I did alter a bunch of jeans today, and tossed some others out that were just beyond hope. I have one of those big paper lawn refuse bags FULL of clothes that I pulled out of my closet last week, going to haul those all to Goodwill next weekend when I finish filling the 2nd bag. Like you, I can't gain this weight back. I…

Just checking in today, still holding steady, but I've just spent the last hour and a half taking in all my jeans and pants so i DON'T have to buy new ones right now. I'm not quitting, I'm in it for the long hall. I'm kinda depressed about all the loose skin on my upper arms, thighs and fanny.

I've made these a couple different ways over the years and they are really good, but you do have to keep them in the fridge to keep them the right texture, otherwise they melt quickly, but they are good!

I hadn't been honest on my license for at least 10 years, but as of this year, my license has me weighing more than I weigh now, in fact it is 16 lbs more than I actually am. yay what a great feeling. I have felt kind of guilty for living a lie LOL

I love cottage cheese, it's great with sliced cucumbers. I sometimes will mix chives into it, that's great, too. Another thing I've done is sprinkle with "salad seasoning." Pineapple tidbits are good drained and mixed in with it. Another way I use to enjoy it is spread on toast. Really good.

I'm pretty good with what I eat and I log everyday and stay consistently in that range. I haven't gone over yet. I think I set myself up with a realistic calorie and carb count that didn't restrict me to such a point that I would want to go over for any reason. I think I've been going strong almost 6 months now and 65…

Good job Dis! salt is always my biggest problem.

I am hanging in there, doing my thing. I had a good long walk yesterday but forgot to wear my fitbit, Friday was pretty out of it after a medical procedure and most of the morning yesterday. On my weekends I usually do omelets for breakfast because during the week I allow myself a breakfast "sandwich" with lowcarb bread,…

Coy, pizza would be hard for me to resist if I had to watch others eat it and n ot partake. You should try the recipe I shared a while back for pizza crust, it really works well, for personal pan pizza about 9'' use about an 8 or 9" nonstick skillet, mix up 1 cup of mozz cheese and 1/4 cup of bobs red mill LC bake mix, a…

I'm thinking of the Veterans out there, thank you to all of our military people for the sacrifices they've made! I just weighed in and I'm down 64 lbs as of today so very psyched about that. This morning I put in a big batch of fresh green beans an onion, garlic, 2 slices of bacon, and fresh mushrooms in my crockpot with a…

OK I posted a recipe a while back but don't see it here, is there a lowcarb recipe board? I might have posted it to that. Anyway, the original recipe called for 2 cups of shredded parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of almond flour, stirred togetter with some italian seasoning and then cooked in a teflon pan to a crust…

Hi everyone, I am still holding steady at 62 lbs lost. I had a little unplanned deviation last weekend as went camping with family and of course did cave a little to compromise but still managed to eat mostly lowcarb over the 3 days. I went up 2 lbs temporarily and dropped them 2 days after getting home. I think it was…

Almost forgot to mention this but alot of people who aren't educated about lowcarb are under the impression that you don't eat fruit and vegetables on lowcarb which is totally untrue. You just eat in a different way. I allow myself lots of green vegetables, and berries. I have eliminated things like white potatoes, rice,…

My experience is that cutting carbs actually reduces cholesterol and triglycerides in my family and myself better than going lowfat or nofat ever did. have done strict low carb less than 20 grams a day and lost weight, I've also lost cutting calories in the past but was hungry all the time and it did not have a great…

I keep reminding myself how much angrier, sadder, and even more stressed I would be if I let myself down again, and had to start all over. I don't want to forget how bad my labwork was on January 2, 2012. I don't ever want to go there again.

I found an awesome pizza crust recipe online the other day, I can't believe how fast and easy it is. I just made it and it really does work and hope you'll all try it too. So the pizza crust: called for 2 cups shredded parmesan cheese mixed with 1/2 cup almond flour, you just mix and then spread in a nonstick frying pan,…

this looks great, do you have any other lower carb creations to share?

I made kale chips a while back. You wish the kale well to get rid of any dirt on it, then pat dry so it's no longer wet, then using a little olive oil in your hands just wipe the kale leaves with the olive oil and then tear into "chip" size pieces, and bake. Seems like I left them in there until they were nice and crunchy…

Good job, you look great.

great job! I have not heard of Primal Blueprint, I'll have to google that =)

one of my favorites is a thin slice of ham (30 calories) wrapped around a greek pepperoncini. It bursts open the pepperoncini juice and is delightful LOL. Another bite is 3 or 4 green olives, Another is a crunchy garlic dill pickle, are you seeing a pattern here?

and that's why I said no more cracker jacks for you!

I ordered fiberfit yesterday to see how much I actually move each day. Just got a treadmill that I intend to use this time around, and I've been trying to walk more. I'm very sedentary so the exercise is very new for me, and I have had some injuries that make it a real challenge for me. LC products I use to use with…

OK I have another comment. My ex husband always told me that my weight didn't bother him. When I found out he was cheating, I assumed it was with someone thinner. I was shocked to find out the other woman was 100 pounds heavier than me, at least. She actually stated her weight on her yahoo personal ad, and how many very…

I don't have support but I live alone now. My kids are grown and my husband before my recent divorce NEVER supported me when I'd try to lose weight, or even the times I lost alot of weight, he was always deciding it had to be a pizza night or complain that I didn't eat the crust, and that I was being wasteful, etc. Even…

looking good, how are things going now? hope good!

I've been doing this alot myself. I always have leftovers, so portioning out for future meals and into the freezer it goes. I need a bigger freezer! LOL
