Definitely alone (unless I could find Darryl)... :wink:

Good morning. I just found this group! I am in the challenge via Facebook and I started on the 20th. My starting weight was 251.6... My goal for the 90 days is to lose 30 pounds. I know I can do this! My carb limit on MFP is 30 grams but I also put I needed 10 grams of fiber, so my net would still be 20 carbs. Wish me…

I have been doing 30 grams of net carbs or less for about 4 weeks now and have lost 14 pounds.. I am wondering if I should be going lower to get into ketosis.... Should I be shooting for 20 a day???

I love how many men can't resist reading this thread just because it says, no men... LOL

You can add me.. I am back at it again... my weight shot up to 308 before I took control... lost 80 pounds... yo-yo'd up and down and I have regained about 40 pounds.. I am down to 255 as of yesterday, but I still have a way to go. I am doing low carb and it is working out well for me. Good luck.. I am trying my best to…

Coffee with sugar-free French vanilla creamer... my morning pick-me-up of choice...

It really gets irritating when I hear people refer to low-carb as a fad diet... low-carb is not a diet.. it is a way of life. My doctor recommended it to me when I was diagnosed with PCOS.. then about 2 years later I was also diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Literally, low-carb is the ONLY way I have been able to…

I am much older than you, but I have 100 pounds to lose also. You should have no trouble because you are still young... You may add me if you would like. I am 5'5" and as of today I weigh 255 (lost 14 lbs in 23 days) doing low carb/carb nite...

Awesome job!!!! You look great!!!

Bacon... shallots.. and chicken broth.. best recipe for Brussel's sprouts ever!!

I started this last night.. An avid Atkin's fan.. I fell off the wagon for a few months and gained a ton!! The ONLY way I have ever lost is through restricting carbs. I noticed after only one day on this plan I have no bloating, no swollen ankles, and I feel great!!. I suspected I had a intolerance to certain carbs and…

[/quote] Wow. I'd love to have his name so that when I CAN afford health insurance I make sure to avoid him like the plague :) That just infuriates me. I don't really blame my weight on my disease, (that's also partially the result of damaging my metabolism by years of crash dieting and super low calorie eating) but I…

Definitely the eyes!!!

I would love to join!!!

I quickly got out of that habit when I would be exhausted after working out and seeing I only burned 300-400 calories... and the treat I want would totally negate that work... helped talk me out of those treats... Not to mention I felt so much better the next morning and proud of myself.

Great job, but I would change only one thing... SMILE in your "after" picture as happily as your "before" picture. You are beautiful and are rocking that bikini... Smile girl!!

Me too!!! Love those before and afters... I cannot wait until I can post mine!!! It is the ultimate motivator for others..

That is great!!! 100 pounds gone!! That is amazing!!

Awesome!!! Way to go!!!

My goal(s) for 2014: 1) Start heavy lifting along with walking/jogging. 2) Move to ONEderland. 3) Buy clothes in single-digit sizes. 4) Exercise at least 3-4 times a week. 5) Stick with low-carb to improve my weight and my health.

Good morning.. I have pretty much exactly 100 pounds left to lose..... GOALS and IDEAS for daily posts (It's Wednesday, so I am going to make up for lost time and post Monday and Tuesdays also.....) Monday - Did some walking over the weekend to gear up for a 5K on Saturday.. Cheated a bit but getting that under control..…

Ill-mannered teenagers... I blame their parents really.. I doubt they were taught any manners growing up. It has never happened to me since. But it was pretty devastating. My son was their age, and I know he would have punched him in the face had he been with me. I know he would never disrespect an adult that way.

Mine is more heartbreaking than embarrassing... At the time, I was around 290-300 pounds. This was about 5-6 years ago. I had finally decided to take charge and lose the weight. So, that evening I decided to put on some comfortable clothes and walk through my neighborhood. I was feeling so good about myself. I had walked…

Wow!!! Great job!!! Makes you look younger!!!

One thing, have your doctor check your thyroid.. Before going on my meds my (now ex-) husband and I both went on a low-fat and reduced calorie diet for 3 weeks and I walked at least a mile nightly for those 3 weeks... My husband did NO exercise and still drank light beer... we both weighed in the same day on his parent's…

I am 5 feet 4 inches also. My current weight is 225 and I wear a size 18 (snug).

Exactly!! Well said!!! :smile:

I believe her mother has these pictures taken and sends them to the media.... She is a media *kitten* and must keep her daughters in the spotlight so she can liver vicariously through them.... Because who gives a s**t what Kim is wearing or where she went on a given day.... just my opinion..

Definitely James Gandolfini!!! Love Sopranos!! When I read he died a cold chill ran through me... Great actor and great man.
