I so know how you feel. My husband is the same way. I was doing so well then he started going to the grocery store on a daily basis for stuff that was not on my eating plan. The first time I went on a diet, he bought a deep fryer. So now although he is the cook for the entire family, I just make my own food and put in…

Faygo Pop! (I moved to the east coast where there is none)

Agreed. The ones that tasted like real baked potatoes.

Committed

Recess at sedentary workplaces! Dodgeball breaks.

I loved middle school Home Ec! The memories and practical knowledge. Field trip to the grocery store, learned to wash dishes properly to save water and make breadsticks from scratch. Yeah, now days kids aren't allowed to use knives.

You can check out my food diary. I eat a salad almost every day.

And Enrique

She studied abroad and never came back

I just imagined an actual sugar pill, like a pill made of compressed refined sugar and someone saying "I've got to take my medicine" Off-topic, sorry.

Wow! They are pretty mean. Tell them at least you have your teeth.

Good luck and have a good time !

I hope you recover soon. And can be as comfortable as possible.

I will figure out spreadsheet later today. SW: 175 CW: 169 UGW:135 GW for April: 165 April 04/07: 167.4 04/14 04/21 04/28 04/30

"You are looking good" but then they will keep pressuring you to eat the food that is not part of your diet: "One cookie is not going to hurt you" Like they want to sabotage your progress. Well, yes one cookie will hurt because it will start a carb rage that will leave me feeling gross and restart my sugar crack addiction,…

I let my 5-year-old help me prepare the meals. He gets a sense of accomplishment. He loads up the Instant Pot, bangs on meat, pulls broccoli from the stalk, and scoops out avocados. He loves Spanish ham but not ready to cut the leg (pata) by himself. Or at least I am not ready. Have you ever seen that Netflix movie about…

I can buy a donut for my son without ordering one for myself. And when he only eats half of it, I just throw the other half away. I can go to an Italian restaurant and not order pasta.

Nice. Because Whole Foods Amazon Prime delivery is expensive and not accessible to everyone. I love the idea of a mobile farmers market. Growing up low-income, I remember my mother used to buy half-off ugly produce and day-old bread. Now I think how smart she was. Once I had a sleep-over and my friends threw away uneaten…

My diary is open. I mess up daily but losing slowly.

You can do this? What are your mini goals until then?

I would love to join this simple challenge. April start wt: 169 April goal wt: 165 April 1: 169 April 8: April 15: April 22: April 29:

Instead of viewing it as failing, maybe working toward keto. My best intention is keto, but I usually make it to low carb even if I don't hit my macros. We can do this!

I haven't gone low enough to make it to ketosis, so I am excited to work toward reducing carbs. SW: 175 CW: 169 UGW:135 GW for April: 165 April 04/07 04/14 04/21 04/28 04/30

The same as @NikkiTheRazor , actually including the eating window and a cheat day.

I have to confess that my carb intake is not consistently low, but the "Working toward Low Carb" lifestyle has improved my skin, given me a way flatter belly, and totally turned off cravings for sugary foods. I can make deserts for family without even wanting to taste. And finally, saving lots of money because I don't get…

I'm guessing you just need to track macros on fitbit app like any other. (I have a fake fitbit, but I know you can track macros.) Is that what you mean by low carb intake? There are blogs online about this.

Farmers markets in the hood where people could use their food vouchers instead of those "you buy, we fry" places. These unhealthy places are classified as "Convenience stores" by government and so they accept food subsidy cards (foodstamps). People then pay $1 to have the food fried for them on site, so it's really a…

lol.

I stay away from Roman sandals and straps that go up the legs. I like pumps and wedges. The brands Pikolinos are comfortable to walk in on the street and last for years.

I vacation in Spain every summer and have learned that there are bikinis for all body types.
