I'm here! And also a failure at weight loss. If you're heavy then you've most likely already heard most of this before but there's value in learning to see your beauty no matter what the number is on the scale. You could be pretty? You already are! That said, I wish you all the best of luck with your weight loss! I'm…

Thank you! I will look at Kroger to start. That store is closest to me and the only good grocery store in my town. :)

What brand of low carb tortilla wraps do you get and where do you purchase them?

Hello everyone! I'm new here. I happened upon this thread because of the name, Serial Starters. I relate to that so I thought I'd check it out. My name is Amanda. I'm 35 and need to lose nearly 200 pounds. I work at a university so I sit all day. I'm also a full time student so I sit more when I get home. I have 3 kids…

35 from Kentucky. Feel free to add me. I need all the motivation and support I can get!

153. Day two on insulin. First I've seen a number below 200 in quite a while.

FR sent! I have 175 to lose. It's overwhelming, for sure. My mother died after unsuccessful gastric bypass surgery more than 15 years ago. I keep telling myself I don't want to die like she did. But 15 years later, I still haven't gotten the hang of taking care of myself. I refuse to give up though!

https://www.fitbit.com/user/4RCRKC I would love to have friends to motivate me!

Nice to meet you. :smile: I'm 35 and have nearly 200 pounds to lose. I am also searching for an active group that can provide motivation and support for the incredible journey I have. I have gained in the past month simply because I lack the willpower to do it. Maybe meeting and talking to others in a similar situation…

Starting weight: 371? Current weight: 380 Goal Weight: 319 This week's loss: 0 Total weight loss: 0 This week's successes: I haven't had success since starting this challenge because I have been overwhelmed with life and didn't stick with the necessary changes. So, I gained 9 pounds and lost a lot of confidence. This…

Did this board die? Are 30 somethings really not that active? I bookmarked this board and came back over a year later... it's nearly empty. :neutral: Come on, people. Let's talk!

Hi everyone! I'm a little late to this challenge but I would still like to join. I am trying to do keto/LCHF diet and would like to incorporate walking into the mix. I hope to lose 1-2 pounds per week consistently. More would be great! Starting weight:371 Goal weight: 319 (for the year) Current weight: 371 Total weight…

Day One back on keto for me too. But I have quite a bit more to lose! Best of luck to you!

Foot rubs and bacon... whatta combo.

Good morning, all! I'm new to the thread but it looked interesting... so hi. :smiley:

Must be. I don't usually get on the boards so maybe that's the difference. I've been hiding. But it's nice when I get out from under the rock every now and then.

Bwa ha ha ha... I fear they'll be finding me now that I'm haunting the message boards. But thanks for the offer. Sharing is caring. :D

I do too. I haven't had the hit to the junk guy OR the jealous wife. As a matter of fact, I've never had anything weird at all on here.

I'm a 350 lady trying to get down to 180 pounds as well. I'd love for us to be friends. I face a lot of the same struggles that you do. Maybe we can motivate each other.

PB2 is all I've ever used. I use it in my morning shakes. I've tried the regular and the chocolate and love them both.

I'm pretty sure it's not a virus. I have a pretty good track record with avoiding colds and viruses. Working in the school system has built up my immune system. :smiley:

I never have a specific water goal in mind, I just try to make sure I have water within reach (I usually consume 60 - 80 ounces a day at least). I have excessive dry mouth from my diabetes. I use olive oil and coconut oil when cooking. I also use salted butter for vegetables. I also had my gallbladder removed 18 months ago…

It may sound ridiculous but I have the opposite problem. I tried LCHF previously and got terrible diarrhea. I stopped the diet because I couldn't leave the house, or cough, or sneeze, etc. But then I decided to try it again thinking that I may have just been eating the wrong things. And again, here I sit, dreading running…

I heard this a while back. While on a field trip, we stopped at Hardee's for lunch. I was excited to try their low carb burger. I wanted the turkey option. Come to find out, the low carb burger isn't available at all locations and the turkey low carb option has been discontinued. They're making progress but I hope they…

I started taking Contrave yesterday. One pill each morning so far. I also began a low carb lifestyle as I am diabetic and eat far too many starchy foods. Today I've noticed terrible diahrrea. Not sure if it's the low carb thing or Contrave. Either way, I'm struggling. I also take Metformin each day for the diabetes as well…

Hi everyone! New to this group, just joined. I wanted to join a group that is encouraging and this one seems to be! I have severe sciatica, so my fitness goals are baby steps compared to everyone else. But I weigh 354 pounds and I gotta get this weight off to be able to get rid of this sciatica. So... my goal is to walk at…

Thanks for the information! I used to have a gym membership to a facility that had a pool. It was wonderful! But I moved to a town that doesn't have a gym or any type of public pool. :(

Honestly, I find it difficult to keep track of anything more than the calories I take in at this time. I struggle to reach the goals set for me on that front. However, even on the days that I meet my calorie goals, I find that I'm usually over my carb goals. The worst thing for me is my sodium intake.

I do this MOST of the time. And while it gives me a moment to reflect before I actually consume the foods I choose, I find it's easy to change my entry should I have a moment of weakness and make a poor decision at the last minute. I think it's a great idea, I just need to learn to stick with what I plan on eating in the…

I agree with your sentiments. I am currently going through a divorce (for nearly two years now). Most people don't realize that marriage is hard work until they're on their way out of it. I'm not against marriage. I just realize now that it's not something to be taken lightly. I still respect the institution of marriage…
