I'm a new vegan in the same boat! 80 pounds would be amazing for me too, but for now I'm working on a more conservative 20 to put me in a more healthy range :)

This could change my life. I need a treadmill.

You should be filling up on fatty foods, and cheese is usually a great option so I wouldn't cut it out. From my experience the problem with sugary drinks is that many sweeteners have zero calories but still affect your blood sugar, which will give you cravings or hunger pangs, in addition to affecting your weight loss to…

Oh I totally agree. I unfortunately hear it from my grandmother 24/7, who thinks about 5 times the normal servings of boiled potatoes, noodles, or rice are part of a normal healthy meal. When I stay under 2000 calories she acts like I'm starving myself, and if I have protein shakes with better nutritional content than…

Agreed! The time is never there, you have to create it :)

My gaming started with NES too, but what got me hooked was Guild Wars 1 PVP. In that game, the PVP is ranked and you gain ranking through wins. It was extremely discriminatory and hard to get in good groups if you didn't already have a high ranking, but I was completely suckered into it. I picked the hardest class to play…

I'm sort of between games because I don't have a new MMO to PVP on... I like the competition, but I'm not feeling it in the ones out right now. I still dabble a little on Tera Online, WoW, and even Aion for nostalgia more than anything. But the only thing I really play anymore is Black ops 2. Even though Ghosts is out, I…

I was told by an Ideal Protein business owner that Stevia and Monk Fruit are the best to avoid blood sugar spikes, and Splenda is OK but not fool-proof. I didn't know about added fillers and we were talking about powdered stuff only though, so take it with a grain of salt. I'm sure you'll lose weight either way, just maybe…

This is what I do and it's worked out okay (including the vitamin) And as to the listen-to-your-body Yoda, I feel better than ever to boot!

There are probably a lot of terrified males ignoring this thread's existence.

I might be an exception to t he rule or something but my endless thirst got WAY better after a while. I don't think it will stay so bad, though of course it will always be good to drink that much :)

This is quoted for total truth. It's a very common thing with low-carb diets and water weight loss at the start. It's very simple though: stay well below your calorie limit. The only thing you're doing wrong from what I'm reading is you really shouldn't and don't have a great reason to be low fat. Some people like to argue…

I'm going to add you because I'd love to be another supportive friend :) but I figured I'd still say this here. Personally, I am new to Keto but no stranger to calorie counting, and I find it inspiring but that's me (I'm an achievement addict, so the dangling carrot works well without the carb cravings). Do you have your…

I really want to Keto-fy this with crushed pork rinds and see if it turns out!

I don't even know you and I'm happy for you! Great job! :) You are inspiring.

I can agree with all of this. It's one of the best parts about Keto. I've always had really strong cravings and I think I must have crazy blood sugar highs and lows. Now I could go sub-500 calories I think and not notice it. I too eat mostly to try to hit my macros and not starve my body (and because the meat cheese and…

I'm in the same boat as all of you :) Please feel free to add me <3
