Corey, that's so weird to see you on here. my son used to do BJJ with Ben. ;)

I don't drink milk...I think it tastes nasty but I use half and half in my tea and eat green yogurt and cheese. I think of your body tolerates it, great. If it doesn't, don't eat it.

The funny thing is my brain plays tricks too. When my auntie retired she gave me a huge box for scrubs. Not a single one fit. I was wearing 2xl scrubs at the time. So when I pulled out the box and they all fit (size large), my brain was saying "well maybe they stretched somehow" lol. I know it's not even possible but so…

This is a good idea. I know I need to stand up for myself more because I'd let a herd of elephants trample me if it meant not hurting someone's feelings. I'm a people pleaser and always have been. Always put my own needs last (which is how I ended up 75pounds overweight)

You'll probably notice a metallic taste in your mouth or you can buy some keto stix and seeing your urone shows ketones. I lost weight great the first couple weeks then stalled for 3 weeks then started losing again. I'd give it at least 2 months before you adjust anything.

I wouldn't. 1 oz is nothing. I'd be like ahhhh just one more tiny handful. One more. One more. Omg where'd the whole bag go?!?

So you said you're eating 500 calories less per day, so are you saying you're eating 1490 a day? Maybe it's not enough if you have a LOT to lose? Also weight loss isn't always linear. You won't lose every single week. Annoying as heck, but a reality.

49 pounds in 8 weeks. Why not 50? Lol.

Hahaha same as me. ;)

I am following carb curve from the Primal blueprint right now and feel amazing. I was keto before but always felt exhausted. I have a ton of energy and sleeping really well. I eat between 80 and 100 grama TOTAL carbs a day.

I lost the first 35 lbs doing keto, then lost another 15 doing whole30. Now I'm trying to follow the Primal Blueprint and stick with he carb curve for weight loss and keep carbs under 100 grams :) So far so good. Feel amazing and don't feel exhausted like I did on keto. From a size 22/24 to a 12. Hoping to lose another…

I take flintstone vitamins. They have a bit of sugar but don't upset my belly.

Have you tried using radishes in place of potatoes? Super good! Roasted like a potato. Mm mm mm mmmm

I've been primal for 5 or 6 days now. Not counting because I feel so good and I don't plan on starting from it. Haven't had an inkling of acid reflux since starting and before I was drinking from the bottle of gaviscon, haven't had even the tiniest amount of back pain (I have Osteoarthritis), I am sleeping better than I…

Canada here too and yep $3/lb. Not ripe one day, rotten the next

I know know the mfp crowd always promotes calories in calories out but the only thing that has EVER helped me with binge eating is going low carb. After the first couple days I have zero cravings. Zero, zilch, nadda. I'm focussing on 75-100g a day and have no cravings at all between meals.

Carbonated water and fruit juice? Just for the fizz?

It's still private

Alright. Goblet squat - check. Hip adductor stretches - check. Thanks everyone!

I cut out caffeine and it helped quite a bit. But the thing that helps me the most is cutting out sugar. Sugar does a hell of a number on my moods. I'm currently on day 4 of the Primal Blueprint with my carbs set at 87g and I feel amazing. Haven't had even a tiny feeling of anxiety and my back pain (Osteoarthritis) seems…

I started may 4th of last year and completely lost all motivation and drive in November. At that point I as down 50 lbs. I promised myself I would maintain my weight loss within 3 pounds. I did that until about 4 days ago when I found the drive again. I had gained back 2.9 lbs but have 2.4 of of it again. :) If you're…

Hahaha. I like squats but hate lunges. Would rather get a root canal.

I'm 65% fat, 20% protein, 15% carbs. Feel good and it keeps the hungry feeling away :)

Lol the barbell is only 5 lbs. Not 45

Awesome! Will do!

I got a trainer once. She almost killed me. Seriously. I spent half hour sitting on the gym floor not able to stand after I repeatedly told her I needed to back off a little because I was really dizzy. She appologized after and said she wasn't going to charge me for the session lol. I should just try another one, but the…

I only had 10 lb plates on. I could just use the bar (I believe it's 5 lbs). But it doesn't feel heavy at all. I will do what you've suggested though and try it out :)

My son and I both have celiac disease but for myself, I do almond and coconut flour :)

I've always been like that. Always. I do ok with bland things but nothing crazy.

Lol west Kootenays of BC here. Never heard of grits ;)
