  • I'm new to Keto, I am only on day 3. Not sure if I am reaching the correct Keto macros yet so far. I have had thyroid issues my whole life and have always needed my sweets and heavy carb loaded foods and can't seem to keep this weight off. I especially need to eliminate the sugar from my diet and the craving for it if…
  • So this is my 3rd time at this, hopefully it will be the charm! First off I have been hypothyroid my whole life, never had a problem with weight until kids and gained significant amount of weight with each pregnancy due to my thyroid levels not being checked and monitored very well. Weight loss is very challenging having…
  • Thank you for the encouragement! Day 1 was pretty successful, Its around the end of the first week Im worried about, thats usually when I fall off
  • I do rewards after every 10 lbs because if I wait longer I tend to get unmotivated...anyways things like a new purse, new outfit, date night with my husband, fitness related things, mani/pedi...When I get to my final goal I plan on getting a mini makeover and a weekend away with just my husband and I... I also saw someone…
  • I totally feel your frustration, Ive been stuck between 165-170 part of it is my own fault Its been a couple crazy months since February but I work out everyday and about majority of the week Im on target with calories, My schedule is crazy busy but its about to calm down a bit so Im hoping to add more exercise to see if…

  • All so true!! Especially #9 like you Ive had 3 kids natural
  • Ive lost 73 and only at 170 and I want to lose another 40 lbs which would only be 130 lbs and Im 5'4, but when I tell people I want to lose 40 more lbs they look at me like I have some kind of eating disorder or something , when that would be in my zone for a healthy weight, granted they dont know how much I weigh now but…
  • Im a busy mom who works and goes to schooI I start my day at 530 am so I can get my workout in. As exhausted as I am I feel better cause I know its done and out of the way and I like having that hour to myself before everyone else wakes up. On the weekends I tell the kids to go play and I take control of the tv and…
  • Im 5'4 Starting weight was 240 and my current weight is 170, goal weight 125-130. Feel free to add me! :flowerforyou:
  • One of my coworkers did the diet and has lost 75 lbs and has kept it off in a year she has kept it off, she does the maintenance cycle through the week and eats whatever she wants on the weekends. She completed two whole rounds by the time she got to goal. I got the book and attempted it a few times and could not keep to…
  • I just started it today as well, found it kind of easy actually and burned a little less than 200 calories (I wear HRM), but Im going to stick with it because from what Ive read it builds to get more intense. Plus I also think its because Ive done quite a few of her other DVDS
  • I would like to know as well and possibly see some progress pics on it, I actually just ordered it and expecting hopefully next week
  • Exactly!! In my situation I HAVE to work outside because my husband is on disability and Im the main source of income and I go to school as well but it is nice having him home all the time since Im gone alot. I did stay at home with my younger 2 kids until they started preschool and I have my summers off now since I work…
  • I eat them as well or the Smart Ones for dinner usually with a vegetable and whole wheat bread on the side and I drink about 16 cups of water a day. I try to eat at least 1200-1300 calories a day and I get 30-60 minutes of exercise in a day, so maybe try making sure you hit 1200 calories a day at least and if your not…
  • I just got mine 2 days ago and LOVE it it is my first HRM so I think its good to get used to that before using a more expensive one with more features because Im still kind of getting used to it with the buttons can be confusing but once you use it for activity youll love it too, mine is pink also I got it from bodytronics…

  • Second hand stores and clearance racks, I will admit Ill buy a new outfit or two each size Ive went down that wasnt on clearance because I wanted to wear a nice outfit to somewhere I was going. I cant wear baggy pants too long because I have to look business casual for my job so I have to shop each size I go down and…
  • My husband is very supportive in the complimenting me and it seems he desires me a little more than when I was 70 lbs more and he understands when I make things for me and not the rest of the family, however like many of the others he does require his snacks, the good thing he keeps them in his man cave room as he calls it…
  • Chocolate!! Love my chocolate fiber bars and brownies and low cal fudgesicles I feel like I'm cheating but yet Im not

  • Just some of my ideas to get over the binge eating habits: Try doing things with your hands when tired or bored puzzles, word search puzzles , a hobby that involves keeping your hands busy.....as far as something that helps me is I chew sugarfree gum comes in many different flavors so If you like a minty taste or prefer a…
