I'm in Kansas, so not exactly Iowa but close. I'm starting keto today!

Congratulations on the loss so far!! I would love to help motivate you and keep each other on track!!

Hi y'all! Feel free to add me! I'm not new to this (new to the update) haha. I was here about a year ago, and had some BIG life changes and tracking just slipped through the wayside. I'm slowly creeping back up in weight and desperately need support

One hundred percent, if you put your mind to it, you can do it!

I could always use active friends!!

I take them about every two weeks. But it depends on how quickly you're losing!

Oh, also frozen meals! I buy groceries on Friday, and prepare the meals for the week and stick them all inn freezer bag. Once I'm ready I throw it in a crockpot and have yummy homemade food when I get home from work!!

Not so pro tip, frozen fruit (once thawed) as well as veggies taste the same as fresh!!

Well, I'm not sure of any drama, definitely not into it myself! I'd love to help motivate and encourage! Shoot me a message if you'd like to, can always use supportive friends too!! GOOD LUCK with your journey regardless!!!

I think I joined, not sure!! I'm so excited!!!!

Still interested! Any news?

I had a gym membership that went unused too, until I came to the realization that we were all there for the same reason! If someone has something negative to say, they obviously have something they're insecure about! To start, simply log. It sounds too easy, but thats all it is. Once you feel comfortable, add a workout,…

Directed at the original poster: I had this same realization when I went to a meeting with my sister! The steps can fit many outlets in life, it's amazing! I disn't take the time to read all this thread, because quite frankly people that haven't done the research/experienced the illness of addiction don't understand. So…

Let's do it!!!!

I was just like you! I was so ashamed of the state I was in and kept all the guilt and embarrassment inside. I knew what people thought of me, because I thought and said 100 times worse to myself. It wasn't until I had the realization that EVERYONE has something, and NO ONE has the power to make me feel any way I don't…

Sounds like such a blast!!

Hi y'all, my name is Micjelle, I'm 26 and currently living in Austin Texas! I graduated from the University of Kansas, and unable to find a job, moved south. I'm now a nanny for a wonderful (teething) little girl. I spend 60 hours a week with her, so it makes eating healthy: lifestyle/schedule/myself a bit of a challenge,…

I did my 20 squats while I was waiting for my bosses sloooooooooow internet to load!!! I guess I can feel blessed for slow load time? Anywho- for dinner I'm having balsamic chicken and tomatoes, with asparagus, and water!

15 squats, and walked my doggies about a half a mile!

Obviously donate them, if you can. eBay is a good option if you need the money. You can even join Facebook groups for "plus size" clothes. Fattoo is one that comes to mind.

It's not dance, but... YouTube booty barre with pop sugar

Buffalo chicken wraps! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/04/crock-pot-buffalo-chicken-lettuce-wraps.html?m=1

I was feeling down and sluggish today (overwhelmed by my HUGE mountain of weight loss ahead of me). BUT you, my dear, have given me the motivation I need!! AMAZING AMAZING, and VERY inspirational!!!

I would say take something your child loves (character, sport, etc) and Pinterest it! You'll find TONS of things for any and all budget!!

Since some of y'all are talking about Wine... I found several wine based cocktails with no added sugar. I believe 1 serving has 70-120 calories, (carried by brand). They're amazing!

Struggled with never feeling full. Try aiming to drink half your body weight in water, I've personally never reached that goal. But, the increase of water intake has been what I needed. Pills- yes you may find one that works for a few days, but afterwards stops it's effectiveness. If you're super desperate and obsessed…

I need a new book!! I just read Cameron Diaz, The Body Book. It was pretty good, helped my motivation level, but I'm desperate for another read. I'm not a fan of straight romance, and typically like "suspense" books, but honestly, being an English major, I'll read anything, as long as it comes highly recommended!…

I LOVE cooking, and I became so overwhelmed when trying to eat healthy! Here's something I made yesterday! 24 oz boneless skinless chicken breast 1 celery stalk 1/2 onion, diced 1 clove garlic 16 oz fat free low sodium chicken broth 1/2 cup hot cayenne pepper sauce/or buffalo sauce (I used Frank's) For the wraps: 6 large…

Texas, y'all!! I love LOVE new friends! It helps keep things interesting and me motivated!!
