It's tough, especially when the kids are small. Try to incorporate them into your workout time. Jog with kids in a jogging stroller, ride bikes as a family, have them do an exercise video with you, play basketball or catch. Find a gym with a kids' area/daycare. It's tough. My husband runs his own business. I have a full…

Try manipulating your macros to see if it helps you stay fuller (I find higher protein/fat helps me be full), or up your calorie goal per day.

I'm about 9lbs from getting to an overweight BMI rather than an obese BMI. That's my current goal.

I put my husband's sweater on and could zip it. It didn't look good, but it zipped :)

This. It's the closest I've found. It takes time to adjust to the artificial sweeteners, though.

I love the Taco Bell Power Bowl (chicken). I get it with no rice, no beans and extra lettuce.

These from Aldi. They're a little higher in carbs than I typically like, but I can eat a third of the pizza for 360 calories.

I agree with smaller goals! I reward myself with something (new workout clothes, etc) every small goal I meet.

I hit it yesterday! You can do this!

I walked a mile at lunch, and did C25K week 6 day 1 this evening.

@StephanieLynneK we are near each other. I am just getting started with hiking in the foothills of the Adirondacks. We did Elephant Head (just out of Malone) last week. I think we're going to do Owl's Head this weekend.

I'm about a pound and a half from losing 50lbs (and 50% of my goal). I just want to see that number.

I hadn't seen my PCP in two years. When he commented about my weight (positively...trending down), I LITERALLY opened my MFP app and showed him the progress graph. Don't be afraid to do that, lol

I went into a clothing store to buy some new clothes today (I cleaned out my dresser/closet of everything that's too big and was left with almost nothing). I asked the young woman working there if they had any pants in tall (I'm 6'). She said that they only had one pair in the store because they were a return from an…

I went hiking for the first time today. It was a small hike (one of the foothills of the Adirondacks), but I finished it. I was huffing and puffing while we did it, but I'm not even that sore tonight. I'd have never done this almost 50lbs ago.

*raises hand* College Nursing Instructor here! I'm SO glad to be done for the semester!

I'm keto. I started at 281 and am currently down about 47lbs. I generally try to keep it as simple as possible. Meat/protein of some sort, veggies, and some fat (often from the meat) at every meal. I don't think it's some magic cure, but it allows me to stay below my calorie goals without starving all day.

Great job!

That initial weight loss is mostly a loss of water weight as glycogen (stored sugar) is stored with water. That first week I lost almost 10lbs. After that, it's been 2ish per week (sometimes 3). I also have a LOT to lose.

Yup!

My general rule with keto is to keep it simple. Most meals are meat, veggie(s) and some sort of fat (often in the meat). Is there a reason you want to stay keto rather than count calories? For me, it's the best way for me to cut calories and still feel full. I don't think carbs are evil and/or ketosis is some miracle. It's…

I finished week 5 day 3 of C25K today. It includes a 20 minute jog. I FINISHED it.
