I was drinking way too much soda and then I found I really like the Bubly and Lacroix waters. I don't care for the taste of artificial sweeteners in diet soda but the flavored sparkling waters do the trick. I don't miss the sugar just the bubbles and I can have as many as I want and not feel bad.

I'm trying rewards for reaching small goals this time to keep myself motivated and give me something tangible to look forward to. For instance I aimed to lose 10 pounds for my anniversary trip this weekend. I've lost about 7 and a few days left to go so I am getting a mani/pedi for my trip. I have to have a reason to keep…

I'm planning on cheat MEALS not days. I have an anniversary trip this coming weekend at a B&B and their stuffed French toast is heavenly. That will be my cheat meal. The rest of my meals will be smart and planned. I've let cheat days lead to quitting altogether in the past so I am allowing myself this small treat this…

Once a week for me, first thing in the morning, after using the toilet and naked. Any more frequent and I get anxious when I don't see progress or (gasp) an increase.

You can add me! Mine is public though. Any questions please let me know. I'm cutting out added sugar so some of my diary entries are homemade recipes.

I have been on Depo for 1.5 years now and I've not experienced any significant weight gain. I weigh a little more than when I started using it but only by a few pounds. My cycle was very irregular and long plus I had terrible migraine headaches before starting. Plus mood swings were the pits. Depo fixed all that for me…

Hard boiled egg, celery and peanut butter, string cheese

Hi ladies! I'm in!

Does anyone use peanut butter powder in place of regular peanut butter in recipes and what are the results. I love PB2 in my morning shake with black cocoa powder and Silk Protein nut milk.

I do eat chicken, fish, and beef, just not chicken skin or beef fat.

I have noticed too that if I overdo the carbs, like last night I had fries with my salad and last week I had pizza, I feel like I'm starving. On the other hand - when I stick to my usual meals of a protein shake for breakfast and a good protein rich meal for lunch I feel so much better and I'm not starving before dinner. I…

Last night I made an amazing pizza with cauliflower crust, smoked mozzarella, mushrooms, and spinach feta chicken sausage. It definitely satisfies my craving for pizza. Actually I thought it was better than traditional pizza.

Sarasota, FL and Murphy, NC for the last 12 years.

Mine is much smaller, but I walked twice today and the second time I made it around the yard without stopping!

I had an off day this last Friday. I got pizza for my hubby and kiddo. I had my own dinner but the pizza called to me late at night and I gave in. Normally I would throw in the towel and eat everything I could get my hands on after that but I had promised myself that this time would be different. The next morning I charted…

I'm 223 right now. My first big goal is to get to 175. I am aiming for around 140. I'm 5'6" and pretty average build. I was 128 when I hot married but I've had 2 kids and I'm going to be realistic that some things never go back the way they were. I want to be at 185 by the end of December.

My petty reason - I want to pierce my belly button and it actually look cute. Oh, and so i can give the snotty hottie at the nudist resort I frequent something to be jealous about

I'm going to use my most current start date weight since I've had so many ups and downs. But I'm into this challenge since it gives me mini goals.

Baked stuffed poblano peppers with ground beef, queso fresco and enchilada sauce. Very good!

Mine is open, I'll add you. I'm doing Keto so not sure if that will help you but you are free to look! I can't say I'm all that adventurous of an eater though. Mostly I eat the same stuff all the time

Absolutely!

Good morning! I'm looking for friends like me too. I'm just starting Keto - 2 weeks in so far and down about 5 pounds. I'll send you a friend request. Have a great day and happy treasure hunting! 😁

Use how you feel as motivation too! Are you feeling better on Keto? Do you notice more energy or less bloating? I know I feel healthier after almost 2 weeks. I ate pizza the other day and felt like crap after. My stomach hurt and I wish I hadn't cheated. You may not lose every week but if you notice small changes focus on…

Thanks for the insight! I'll check out the group.

Thanks!

I just started charting my food today. I was getting into this slowly since I have a habit of dropping a diet soon after starting. I make too many changes and it feels too much like work and I wanted to be sure I stick to it this time. I actually had 24 net carbs today so i did pretty good! Next week I will aim for 20 net…

Ok, thank you. I think I may be a bit intolerant of gluten due to the the crappy feeling I get after eating any bread after being without for almost 2 weeks. I know I'm feeling better since I started so I'm keeping it up. I got some Ghee and I'm going to try more avocados.

I'm also limited to 35 carbs this week but I'm starting slow- next week I'm aiming for 20 net carbs. Any tips on keeping to 20 or less carbs would be helpful. Thanks so much for the tips so far!
