That was me 2 weekends ago! It was not pretty. I am used to keeping up with the boys, not being carried out by them. Another new limit to learn!

I might make this in individual serving dishes to freeze. Would be a great warm lunch! Definitely going to add mustard and pickles though!

The "time of the month" bloat was a new thing for me. I just realized that one. I couldn't understand why my stomach was so huge! I just couldn't see it before! The big one is that everyone now thinks I'm a doctor and can tell them how to lose weight!

Yummy! The only problem is where to hide them so my family doesn't see them!

Fried chicken with almond flour and flax meal pizza crust! :noway: I am so excited about this thread. I can't wait to reread it over and over! HA!! You are all amazing!

My mom has always been a "just one bite" kind of person and I never understood that. But since I started tracking it is getting easier and easier. If I want to eat something I put it in and see if the calories (but mostly carbs, in my case) still make me want to eat it. If it's borderline maybe I will eat just half. Often…

Congrats! All those things are so much more important than how we look. Now you can LIVE! Have fun on that roller coaster!

My kids will love these!

Mine are already setting in the freezer! Thanks!

Number 1 and 4 are my favorites. But I will give you the advice my sister gives me, "It could look amazing, but if you aren't comfortable in it, it will show." You don't want to be fidgeting all day because you don't really love it. I think one of the hardest things as a younger mom is the selection of clothes. Most of the…

Ghiradelli Intense Dark chocolate. A serving is 4 pieces (CRAZY) so I can eat one and not feel any guilt!

These all sound amazing! Wow, I'm impressed.

I will add you as well. I am a fairly new low carber. I love to be surrounded by my peeps!

I went to a buffet for lunch today. I ate only things that I would normally eat at home. I had salad with chicken and a dressing that I already knew the information. Then I put it in my phone immediately. Then I had a piece of baked chicken and some meatballs that I could have done without, but all in all, not so bad. My…

ABSOLUTELY! But then I tell them not to whine at me about not being able to lose weight!

I am in exactly the same place! I told someone last week that I had lost 50 pounds and he couldn't believe it. When "normal" people lose 50 pounds they look like a completely different person. Also, I can't stand when people find out that I want to lose 100 pounds and they say "you'll be too skinny!" 180 is the high range…

I just got done picking rhubarb! Crazy! I was just going to try to alter my muffin recipe, but I'll be anxious to see if anyone else has something. If it works out I will post it.

I"m so excited about this! As a low carber who was craving brownies over the weekend, this is just what I needed to see on a Monday morning!

So excited about this! I've been getting a little bored with my same old breakfast each day! Can't wait to "bake" again!

That was like watching an age progression in reverse! What an amazing example of hard work.

That is fantastic! I am about to do my second 5K (under 2 weeks now) and have started calling myself a runner as well. For those of us who made excuses about exercise for most of our lives, to now be a RUNNER is an amazing feeling! Keep up the great work!

BUMP!!

Played kickball with my 8 year old. Full on running until exhaustion, but she was exhausted too! Last spring I would have maybe pitched for her, but never run. She wanted to quit before I did!

Sign me up!

I was put on a high protein diet by my doctor and it can be difficult to get in that much protein so I do use protein shakes. I basically went by her recommendations. I use a Super Whey protein that you can find at Walmart. They has some pretty good flavor options.I blend with water and ice. The chocolate is great blended…

I have pepperoni in my fridge! I am making this for lunch tomorrow! Always looking for new low carb ideas!

Amazon was probably the worst for me growing up. But a couple years ago (even at a very heavy weight) someone called me an Amazon Goddess! That totally changed all perspective for me. I can now relate to it as someone strong and beautiful!

Getting the jawline and collarbones back are just the best! Great work! That is amazing!

I'm 5'11" and originally my goal was 200 because I thought anything below that I would be way to thin. But I have realized that I used that as an excuse to not lose weight. I had to wrap my mind around my NEW possibilities and this group is such a great help with that! So even though I am still just waiting to see how I…

Just keep going. I did the program last year and many days thought I was going to die. But each day got better. I couldn't imagine running as fast as you do so don't be so hard on yourself! I am about to start the program again and I can't wait to feel the difference. You CAN do it!
