I am stuck in that weight range too! Wth?! I had the opposite happen this morning. My lovely fiance ironed my pants for me. When I went to put them on they were skin tight. I thought that I had really gained a lot over the weekend. Turns out he couldn't find my size 10 and just ironed the size 8 instead. Such good…

So true. If you chase him, even if it works, you'll only be resentful later.

Have you ever struggled with an eating disorder in the past? I am genuinely concerned about a couple of things you mentioned that I may be misperceiving. I'm gathering that you've become uncomfortable eating over a certain amount or eating certain foods. This diet may have triggered something deeper for you. The second…

Sugar free "torani" is basically what you get when you order anything flavored and skinny/sugar free at Starbucks, Caribou or your local coffee shops.

This happened to me at TGI Fridays as well! Not the exact same thing but also hidden carbs. I was livid. Of course I don't have a good allergy so I just kept my mouth shut. I special ordered a burger because after talking to the waitress it was discovered that the majority of their burgers have special sauce. She convinced…

Exercise or talk to a friend. Have you done the middle school girl thing yet where you hash through every moment of the date with a friend? If not, that always helps me a bit.

Alright! Day 1. I was going to start last week but just could not give up the cheese. Plus I forgot to communicate this change to my fiance and was told I should have told him because we would have mourned the loss (aka ate a bunch of cheese). That brings me to today being day 1. Check in: 161 (up from 158 a few weeks ago)…

My favorite sites are: I Breathe I'm Hungry Nom Nom Paleo (I could live off of cracklin' chicken) Other sites I've used: http://ketogenicwoman.com/ Ruled.me/keto-recipes Cavemanketo.com http://www.wickedstuffed.com/category/keto-dinner-ideas/

Loving the pictures! Cute babies, guys! This is Sophie, she eats 3 meat Blue Buffalo and table scraps because, well, they only live once. She gets meat treats and occasionally gets to lick plates and bowls. She particularly likes to lick ice cream bowls, good for her or not.

If I start to feel goofy in some way, I tap into supplements. For example, I have been crazy lethargic the last 3 days. Being the hypochondriac that I am, I woke up lethargic again this morning and decided this must be cancer. When I came back to reality I realized that maybe I’m deficient in something. Not knowing what…

I thought I couldn't do low carb for a long time because I tried Weight Watchers and South Beach which both restricted my carbs to the danger zone. I had no idea about ketosis and what would make me successful at all of this.

Do it. I strongly encourage it. The jump was less scary than the climb.

I would like to give you my email and have you send these words to me every single day. I am about to go crazy on making this thread about me in an off topic way so prepare yourselves. This past weekend I went skydiving. My fiance wanted to go for his birthday but I had no interest in dying. I scheduled a time for him and…

^ now that's a damn nightmare! I consider my carb dreams to be so joyful upon waking. I got so used to the feeling that a couple of weeks ago when I cheated, I woke up the next morning and had really evaluate whether it was a dream or real life. Talk about disappointed in myself! I get it with the "accidental" eating thing…

I will go dairy free next week! If you want to skip butter you can use ghee. Mmm I like butter though. I like it on steak. Wow. 8:30 and I'm craving steak - NSV as far as I'm concerned. So Monday - Friday next week? I'm going to start tomorrow instead. I've stalled and bounced for too long in my opinion. I will try…

I agree with this. Low carb doesn't need to be complicated. So often I read people on here stressing over a 1/2 a carb in this and 3/4 carbs in that and carrying on that these carbs add up. I'm not sure how many meals everyone else is eating but even 1 carb is not going to make or break your diet. Not unless you have it…

I have to stay away from peanut butter because I would like to eat the whole jar. But I wanted to do a plug for a peanut butter and jalapeño burger. Delicious.

See, I get some of what she is saying. When I lost a bunch of weight before and people would say things like "you look so much better" or "you look so much happier now" it really frustrated me and quite frankly it hurt. I hadn't changed. I wasn't a whole new person that had been hiding under fat and now that I was thin I…

I like what she had to say about still being the same person.

I have not. I would love to hear from people that have used it and loved it that aren't just experiencing cognitive dissonance and rationalizing their purchase.

I drink about twice a month. Bacardi or Vodka and coke zero (cherry or vanilla).

I get sore throats throughout the day even though I am adapted. I typically contribute it to being thirsty. I can't help you on the swollen tonsils though. If you do go back in, don't tell him you've lowered carbs. Force him to not be lazy and to address the actual problem at hand, a recurring bacterial infection. The…

How have you resisted doing meth? I'd go that route :D

I didn't mention that I do Keto. I'm really leaning toward this being an under hydrated issue. Come on! No one wants to see the track marks?! I'm disappointed in you all Hahahaha

Ok I clicked the link. A study with 18 men. I will say this, my dad got a blood clot after breaking his leg. He was put on a high carb, low fat, no veggie diet by Mayo. They told him it would help thin his blood. I've also found a study that says BP and viscosity are related. My BP was 100/60. Not sure if it actually has…

I haven't clicked the link but I want to clarify that I don't think the clotting is a good thing either. I should have used my sarcastic font ;) I think I drank plenty of water. I read yesterday about people with a disorder where their kidneys kick water out too quickly. Those people benefit from a higher sodium diet. I…

Congratulations on the weight loss. I think it's funny how differently we can react to the food porn dreams. Personally, I wake up super excited that it was just a dream and that I didn't actually cheat. The dream motivates me to keep going. But dang, a loss would also help!

I will not lose weight from the day I ovulate to a few days after my TOM. I don't know if anyone else has had this issue but I wanted to toss out this bit of TMI in case it helps you at all. I've officially told everything now, haven't I.

Exactly what my body does. Lost weight for the first few weeks. Then stall for 3 weeks. Then a loss. Then a stall where I bounce back and forth between a couple of pounds. But then my clothes start feeling like they're falling off. Though to be fair I'm generally convinced my scale is lying. I might have reverse body…

I've never heard of netrition.com. Do you guys eat things like "Great Low Carb Bread Company Bagels?"
