I like wine and mixed drinks. They've never affected my weight loss either...and I like my drinks

Are you monitoring your protein and fat intake as well? I am not very familiar with vegetarian diets, but I think adding in more protein and fat will help keep you full longer. I would never be full if I was working out and sufficed on mostly fruit and veggies. As for people commenting on your portions, try not to let it…

This might actually help me! I hate counting too. I've been calorie counting on and off for different goals for years and it just makes me nutso now. Thanks

I don't feel compelled to tell people about my weight. I am surprised how many people will just ask me though. Then I tell them.

lmao, I'm gonna give OP the benefit of the doubt and say she knows that and was making a joke :-O

There is usually a whoosh of weight loss when beginning LCHF. Just don't get discouraged when it stops! Focus on how you feel and other changes that may occur from starting this way of eating. See if you like it... if it's not something you can do long term, once you start eating carbs again that initial weight loss will…

What I love about this group is that there is not "right" strict way of doing things. It's all about doing LCHF in the way that works best for you, and recognizing people ARE different! And chances are if you run across a problem or conflict, someone else has already been through it and will help you along. It's also nice…

Still drink coffee, I use splenda and heavy whipping cream. I still want cake and sweet stuff like that etc. don't think it'll ever go away. But I don't crave them so badly that I'd binge on them; no issues turning them down, which is nice.

Only you can really answer why you binged, but my guess is because you feel deprived not eating sugar? When we restrict or feel restricted, binging is one of the side effects. It can be really hard to get back on the horse after this happens. But it is possible Do you like eating paleo? What do you like about it? You need…

You're right, she does have the opportunity to set a great example! I know so many girls who look up to her. Have not seen the new season. I admit I got a little bored with the first one and only watched the first few episodes. Something that I hate is that she blames her obesity on PCOS. I know that is a contributor in…

I used to do it daily and my weight stayed pretty consistent. Hadn't been doing it lately because I get up extremely early and feel like I can't be bothered. But I'm going to go back to weighing daily to see the trend; it helps me stay accountable with the choices I make throughout the day. No real surprises if I'm…

I'm not consistent with water at all. I've been drinking more lately since it's hot as balls lately where I live. And when working out I get thirsty of course. But otherwise I truly don't care about it.

I never know how to answer this and get uncomfortable if someone asks, lol. I've lived all over the country and don't have a hometown. I have been in southern California for the past 5 and a half years and have no plans on leaving though. Yay stability!

^^ Looks like you did really well. I was going to suggest going for an item that wasn't sushi since they usually have a few other options at the restaurant. Couldn't have done it better myself

This is interesting. I'm actually glad he said anything at all... although his reasoning being your size, I mean yeah that stings...I'm sorry about that. He probably could have gone with out saying that, and just told you he wasn't feeling any chemistry...because if it's been 4 months and you wanted sex and he didn't…

I LOVE THIS, congratulations!!!!

Fellow walking balloon right here. I always have edema. I know what you mean, it's really frustrating especially when wearing skinny jeans! And it will happen if you stand or walk a lot during the day LC really lowers it for me though; it's the only successful solution I've found to decrease it. Wish there was a way to get…

@2Poufs I know you were very, very strong to handle that kind of ridicule, but I am still so sorry you had to deal with it at all. I would still talk to management about what happened so they are aware. And yes, KEEP GOING!! It IS all for you, and all about you. No one else's opinions matter. Glad you are enjoying yoga. I…

I noticed when I first got into keto I ate a *kitten* ton. I think that's because I was on a low calorie diet so my body was playing catch up. As for right now, I am really not sure how many calories I eat but it's probably around 2000. I'd say I eat a pretty standard amount, not any more or less than before dieting. Still…

Getting back into reading because I spend too much time online/social media and I feel it's making me stupid. I made a goal on Goodreads.com recently of reading 7 books by the end of the year. On book #2 right now. The Raven, by Sylvain Reynard. It's a very dark fantasy and blurs the ancient past together with the present.…

I wrote a similar post just a couple weeks ago.You need to remember why you started this way of eating. You need to remember what you love about it and how it makes you feel. If those reasons aren't hitting home then find a way to eat and live that works with your lifestyle and your body! Everyone is different and not…

I've never seen or heard of anything like this

So angry!! Haha. It's a bit disturbing. I hope MFP leaves it up and just ignores the commenters. Even if I was losing weight successfully and continuously on cico, I would be interested in reading that. It's not like it's my religion! People really need to open their eyes and realize if something doesn't work for…

I always try to let people know if I won't be around for an extended period of time. I may not log in for a day or two but I'm still reachable on here. I like the way you think! I often wonder about some people who were very vocal and then just disappear :-/

Gorgeous trail, I love long hikes

Such a great thread. Glowingly soft skin, no more dark circles (what?!), strong hair...it stopped falling out (and I have really long hair) and started growing, yes growing, past the length it loves to stop at. No more edema, or at least very little .... that is the best part for me since that's what makes me gain and my…

Both. Was retaining water and weight loss stalled

I like honey and pb and honey and almond butter. But honey in coffee sounds revolting. Give me my splenda please! I really haven't had honey since going LCHF though. Too many carbs and not worth it

Everything was back to normal in one to two weeks, provided I didn't have any more wine. Worth it for me though, gotta take time to enjoy some good drinks and good times!
