I went to the gym three times in the same week - twice before work!

I cheated for two days last weekend and it took me 4 days to get back into ketosis, plus terrible stomach cramps, keto flu, irritability, the works. I don't ever want to go through that again! Although by Thursday I was in ketosis and already dropped five pounds (gained 2.5 during that weekend).

This is the reason I lost 100 pounds and gained 100 pounds back. I got right back to my original start weight and said "oh crap- what now?" And I had to start again. I never learned how to maintain, and that's why it took 3 years to go back into losing weight. It feels like "why even try?"

I quit smoking so that I could start running. I was walking only for the first part of my weight loss journey but I really wanted to try to run. So glad I did! Twenty months quit this month! Cold turkey, never went back (although I don't particularly recommend that for everyone as my husband is still having a lot of…

I was prescribed Wellbutrin when I started quitting smoking. Because of this, I can't really help you, as I ate constantly while quitting :sad:

I'm a college student myself (I live off campus though) but what I do is log all my meals BEFORE going on campus for the day. I stick to what I've logged at the times I allot. I would succumb to all the amazing food choices otherwise. Usually I stick to Chick-fil-a chicken tenders and side salads for lunch. It's kind of…

To be honest, I hated exercising for a long time. I HATED it. Then I started jogging. And I hated that too (I did it at the gym on the treadmill). Then I didn't feel like driving to the gym, so I downloaded runtastic and pandora on my phone and jogged the neighborhood. Best idea I ever had. After a few weeks of doing this,…

Exactly what I was thinking.

28.5 inches here. They are stubborn! I run at least 2 miles most days. I think they will always be larger, but it's okay. I'm all about feeling good in my skin, and I feel better than I did 50 pounds ago!

I've thought about this one before! I sweat just looking at all that sweat lol Or I wish I could lose 500 calories for every hour studying. I would probably do a lot more studying!!!

Agreed! It plucks my nerves when someone says something as simple as "muscle weighs more than fat". When I try to correct that simple flawed thinking, people get defensive. I just gave up on trying to help others.

Love the logic here! Thanks for sharing!

In case they haven't already said it (I didn't read all the replies), you actually DO gain about 10 pounds due to a change in your metabolism. Your body does really change. If you are not actively aware of this, you can definitely gain weight without making changes in your eating.

When I was a kid I got what I called "egg burps". When I ate an egg, I would burp and it would taste like eggs and I would throw it up. Gross, I know. As I've gotten older, I really enjoy eggs. Maybe you do have an allergy to them. Maybe I did. Mild allergies can change every few years. I also used to be allergic to shrimp…

I quit smoking cold turkey on December 10th, 2012. Pretty recently, in the grand scheme of things. It was all so silly. I was on the phone with my husband (who is 17 years my elder). I was smoking a cigarette (averaging over a pack a day at that point). I told him that he needed to quit smoking because he was already going…

Nude is not wrong! Crying about a weight increase when you add the weight of clothes during a public weigh in is wrong! I love being naked and weighing. The scale is on the way back from the bathroom. Since I'm naked sleeping, and naked waking, I am naked weighing.

This... sort of! This is not the hardest thing I have ever worked for or done. It is one of the best, though. I love knowing I did something awesome when I get dressed every morning. I'm still in awe of what I've accomplished. I think it's awesome I just graduated junior college and got into my dream school, but I don't…

fat and smart. It's what I know best ;)

Within three days of going lower carb (under 150), I no longer have "cravings". I get hungry because I am out of food in my belly, not because I am bored. I can really feel the difference in how my body responds to food. I have PCOS which causes insulin resistance, so controlling carbs is good for me. Now when I do this,…

To give birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. And to wear a bikini. And if I'm ambitious enough, to get my belly button pierced and show it off :)

I do the same-- I had to google this. It means "quoted for truth". One thing I wish I could do is give birth!

This was great :smile: Thanks for the :laugh: !:flowerforyou:

I am very interested! Please invite me!

Sober since January 2012, except for a very occasional glass of wine, and that's only been recently. Stopped smoking 12/10/2012. Haven't looked back. Never did any of the other stuff, personally.

Well some states legally define cheating as "emotional or physical" straying. I think based on that idea, he did cheat. If you were married and took those texts to court with you during a divorce, I believe they would be considered cheating. However, to be honest, my husband did something pretty similar to this over the…
