Silly, in a good way!

Ground chicken white chili. I'm a big fan of chili and soup for lunches during the winter, so I usually make a huge pot of something on Sundays.

I like my eyes and teeth. Also my legs.

Nice

New, sober friends. Someone to come home to.

When a man can be stereotypically manly (handy, hunts, fishes, etc... rough hands kinda stuff), AND able to feel and express emotion. So basically I can't resist unicorns.

Less mustached

I love my thick thighs! They're the only things that keep my pants up as I go down through sizes. I HATE belts, so I'm grateful for them, and for how strong they make me feel. If it helps, I didn't always love them, but the past few months of working my *kitten* off has given me a new view and appreciation.

I'd try to be your friend and get some hair tips 🤷

Thanks! I learned a while ago to not feed into negativity when there's absolutely no reason for it. Yes, he was and still is! Classic case of he secretly hates himself so tries to bring everyone down to his level of misery. Leaving was the best choice I've ever made!

My fairly recent ex saw a picture posted by a mutual friend and messaged me "damn, you're looking skinny AF you need to eat a burger or some s***". Which made me absolutely giddy because it must mean I'm looking amazing. He's mean and doesn't like people to feel good about themselves, so I know I'm doing great!

These stupid protein bars from Aldi. I really have to stop buying them because one day I WILL end up eating an entire box as all of my food for a day.

Holy arms! And a nice smile :)

Yes, because Minions both annoy and scare me. Sorry Mr. or Ms. Minion!

Thanks everyone! So I basically just need to eat more (even if I'm not hungry?). I don't have a HRM and don't necessarily trust the calories burned on the ellipticals, so I should bump my calories up to active or moderately active. The weight machines I'm doing now aren't really to build as much as maintain while I'm…

Not sure which level of exercise I would choose, but I usually always go with sedentary since I sit for a living.

I love the elliptical! I'm not so in love the weight machines, but do love the progress/data aspect, so that keeps me at it. My goals are to get to a healthy BMI weight of 130lbs (37f, 5'4", currently 156lbs), then start building muscle. I guess body recomp is what they say? Just want to make sure that what I'm doing is…

Get to a healthy weight BMI (130 for my height) then start building muscle. Been researching for a while now while losing weight and am so ready to start this goal. I have 26lbs to go! Take more fun classes; yoga, pilates, Barre, stripper stuff, etc.

It's helping me recover from drinking, giving me the best sleep I've had in a few years actually. The progress with speed, strength, and generally how much more it takes to wear me out is exciting. It boosts my mood, gives me something to look forward to.

Late reply but I broke my big toe a week into finally getting serious about working out. I found the elliptical to be perfect for cardio as it kept my foot flat. Wore a walking boot for a month and a half, tennis shoes at the gym. The doc said to do whatever I wanted, but to stop if it hurt; the elliptical didn't hurt. I…

eyebrow game is STRONG!

I have a super simple, single serving recipe. It's 1 tbsp each of butter (melt the butter first), coconut oil, peanut butter (I use crunchy for the texture), unsweetened cocoa powder, then I add in 2 packets of Purevia, and stick in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. I also have made a salted caramel variation using the…

I have 4 cups (2 mugs) at home before leaving, get a 32 ounce coffee on my way in, and that was usually it, but then I've been having another 4-5 10 ounce cups over that. So I'm thinking it was the sudden and drastic increase in my coffee.

I'm sad to say that I'm pretty sure the heartburn was due to over consumption of coffee :( I started a new job on 9/1 and there's a Keurig in the office; been drinking a bit more than usual since it's starting to get cold here. I went back to my normal amount today, and haven't had even mild heartburn. Guess I'm going to…

60 to lose as well, anyone can add me too!

If someone who is fat/keto adapted has a carby day and gets kicked out of ketosis, are they starting from square one again? If so, I'm not sure it would be worth it for me. I don't do cheat days because I really lack control with sugar/carbs, so that day turns into a year :(

I usually drink 12-14 cups while at work, and another 4-8 when I get home so I don't have the pees all night.

That actually does make sense, thank you! Are there carbs in lemon juice? It's silly that I'm so focused on this, I just really try to stay under 15 net per day. Thanks again!

Been doing keto (pretty badly) since 9/22, and have lost 21 pounds. I've had exactly 9 horrible days since I started (cheese steaks with buns, gravy fries, mozzarella sticks, CAKE) that have set me back, but I try not to think about what could be if I hadn't. Just gotta KCKO!
