Another Winnipeg here. Sorry I didn't notice your post before, I don't go to the boards/community that often but do log in daily to log food and see how everyone else is doing, throw out some support. From what I've seen so far the community can be great but it can also be very negative so I just mostly stay away from it…

Welcome to the group!! You'll find a lot of tips, motivation and great people here to help you through.

At least today is a bit better, tomorrow is supposed to be super humid. I'm so glad it's my day off, I might go see Ted to let the theatre keep me cool.

These sound delish and just what I need. Thanks!!

Sorry can you explain it a bit simpler? I usually get my cardio in by bike riding so I just need to do it for 1 hour 4 times a week, plus some strength training? Does pushups/situps/squats count?

I love the pickle jar idea too and will get mine up soon too!! I love MFP, I've learnt alot already in the short time I've been here. Feel free to add me as a friend if anyone wants more support and to motivate each other.

Such an inspiration! Congratulations!!!

Way to go! I can definitly see a difference between the recent pictures and it's hard to tell since the pictures aren't side by side but I think your face is smaller now than it was 8-9 years ago too. Well done!!

Low carb diets such as Atkins puts your body into a state of ketosis. Basically with very little carbs in your body your brain/liver go into Ketosis and use fatty acids instead of glucose, thereby burning fat. I know someone who did atkins very well and lost a lot but as soon as she ate any carbs her body came out of…

If you're eating very little carbs it could be that you're in ketosis. It's a good/bad thing right because it means you are losing more fat but it gives bad breath.

Way to go!! That kleenex picture is great! lol

Having just started this, my summer promise is to just stay on track and not give up!!

You are doing amazing!!! Congrats on the loss to date! Keep going! As someone who has just recently joined it's these success stories that help keep the motivation up so thank you for sharing!

OMG I haven't had Olympia in so long and it is soooooooo good. Their lemon potatoes are amazing. Have you ever noticed that their vegetable of the day is ALWAYS carrots? It's funny but they are really good too so no complaints from our end. My favorites lately are Olive Garden and Tony Romas.

West Winnipeg newbie here too, I did join 2 months ago but didn't start tracking and being active until yesterday. Today was my first full day and I feel great already!
