  • I'm down about 40 and have about 110 to go (well, not sure... Will take stock of things when I get closer). feel free to add me!
  • I've been watching my carbs seriously since August and in the last few weeks started turning to keto. I am back on this week after allowing some treats over my long thanksgiving weekend. I did try to limit myself only to those things that are really only available to me this time of year... I had pumpkin pie, for example,…
  • Thanks! I can already tell I'm going to learn a lot here. I'm hoping it will help me find success!
  • Hm... Thought I was posting in the low carb group... Not sure how it ended up here! Oops :-) but what I said about adding friends stands, whether you are going low carb or some other way!
  • Hi... I'm about 35-40 down with about 110 to go. I've been stalled for months (my own fault, started eating everything in sight again.) This group may be just the thing to help me :)
  • My Flex goes through that every so often. I have noticed it is almost always when its charge is low (even if I think it shouldn't be) and you'll also want to see if the phone app updated recently (if you use the app, that is.) A full charge and a phone reboot usually do the trick for me. There is also a way to reset the…
  • Thanks, I have been trying to figure this out!!! :happy:
  • lol when my daughter was a baby I remember throwing an extra jar of the apricot (or banana or peaches or sweet potato) in the cart knowing I'd probably have it for a snack at some point :glasses:
  • Any activity that burns more calories than sitting on the couch does counts as exercise.
  • let us know how it goes with the Dr., I am curious as to how it will play out... I'm already planning on getting the girls some help once I'm at goal... I've only lost 35 of my planned 150 and they are already deflating rather alarmingly :grumble: :drinker: Woot-woot on the 91 pounds!!!
  • My hands-down best ever: I was in a play and I'd had a pretty plum role that not a lot of directors might have given me due to my appearance. One night after rehearsal I thanked the director for the opportunity and he said: "Yeah, there were 20 other women in the room I could have cast over you for looks, but I wanted…
  • This. Also, the earlier I eat, the more I WANT to eat, and often find that I've then used up almost all of my calories by mid afternoon. My sis-in-law and I just had a discussion about that very thing (she's doing Slim-Fast, more power to her.) I made the mistake of mentioning that I normally don't like to even start…
  • Chicago in for 'pop'... though I find myself adjusting depending on with whom I'm having the conversation :drinker: OP, you officially rock!
  • [/quote] [/quote] [/quote] Swoon. That is all.
  • I have started saving for a boob lift, maybe an actual augmentation depending on how they turn out when I'm at goal! I am fine with losing a LOT of things along with the weight, but the girls are NOT one (two?) of them! :grumble:
  • How does one post pictures? I can't figure it out...
  • The Blue bunny fudgcicles are a staple in our freezer. I don't even go with the No Sugar Added as I find the regular ones to be perfectly macro-friendly.
  • Thank you! Who the hell is eating this stuff unpopped? Same with dry pasta vs. cooked, as the volume does change. And you have to watch boxed mac and cheese labels carefully, I recently realized some of the brands give the calorie count for unprepared ONLY. In teeny, tiny fine print that I'd never before noticed it gave…
  • SO doing this next time we eat out at a little local place as opposed to a chain with published nutrition info...
  • Holy crap... I just went back to actually look at your photo properly (I am terrible with details sometimes), you ARE gorgeous!
  • I broke into the 230's today! And a few days to go. Even though 232 was my goal for the challenge (15 lbs) and I most likely won't make it there unless I have one STELLAR week, I just now want to see how close I can get. I might, just might, be able to make it to 10, which is not shabby at all, considering that I had…
  • I felt this way, too... guilt about my less-than noble motivations. I am very happy that my health is improving (how could you not be?) and yes overall I am doing it for all of the "right" reasons, but... I also really, REALLY want to how up at my stepson's wedding next year looking smaller and trimmer than my husband's…
  • This just made me think of a time when I was in a restaurant, and there was a large family group of people, looked like they'd perhaps all just come from church or something, and there was a baby, perhaps not even a month old at best, and I looked over and one of them, I presume the baby's father, was DIPPING HIS STRAW…
  • Things going better, even lost a bit, just trying to get my life back after being preoccupied all spring. Today went shopping for a few things, I had a gift card and a coupon wanting to be used... ended up very, VERY frustrated, how can I be over 30 pounds down and not even a size down yet??? At most, my current size is…
  • Extremely helpful!!! And I kinda already considered the drapes issue, as I got 'em too, and I suppose they could get a little worse before they get better, as I lose... but now I should be good to go forward with my plan (below my neck/just above shoulder blade line.) :happy:
  • And who can forget the Knights who Until Recently Said, "Ni!" "Bring me................. a SHRUBBERY!"
  • Hands down, the Singing Bush/Invisible Swordsman scene in The Three Amigos! "She'll be driiiiiiiivingsixwhitehorseswhenshecomes...." "Oh, great- you've shot the invisible Swordsman!" :bigsmile:
  • I've wanted one/some for years and years and years. I've finally decided on a couple of small ones for my 50 and 100-lb weight loss markers :happy: (16 lbs to go for that first!) It's also taken me this long to even decide on what to get, since, well, it's there forever. Speaking of which (sort of) I would like to ask...…
  • No judgment here, my sister-in-law is a distributor, though she had fallen off the wagon for quite a while. She is about halfway through the challenge and is doing very well. Not sure the exact number she's lost but she has dropped a dress size or two. I'd be happy to try it out if the products were in my budget, which…
