How much coffee are you drinking? It isn't recommended to have more than a cup or two while on Keto. Also, coffee is a mild diuretic and although not totally responsible for dehydrating you, it does flush some sodium through your urine. It is super important to stay well hydrated on Keto. Are you drinking enough water? You…

I always make my own seasonings. You are so right about the sodium content in pre-made mixes. Also, a lot of those contain MSG as well. I make my own curries, taco seasonings, barbecue sauces, meat rubs and spanish rice mix.

I'm on the far northside in Edgewater by Loyola. I love Aldis and am in the middle of two. Their Fit n Active brand is the bomb! I also go to New Leaf Natural Grocer where I subscribe to their fruit and veggie basket which has plenty of fresh items that are locally and organically grown. They also change up the contents…

I became sedentary. I had been self-employed for a very long time which meant that I could wake up and still in my pajamas, log onto my pc and sit at my desk all day long snacking. Or even worse, in my bed with my laptop AND the tv on while I nibbled on this, that and the other thing. I used to be a gymnast and a dancer. I…

All of the Fit n Active Aldis stuff has been amazing that I have tried thus far too. I love the cereal bars. They come in blueberry, strawberry or chocolate drizzle. My kids love them too and use them in the morning before they rush off for school. I also enjoy their chocolate peanut butter protein bars which are like 200…

Yay a neighbor! What part of town? Where do you shop for your health and wellness stuff?

CHOCOLATE!!! Never ever ever could I give up chocolate and I'm also rather fond of my wine.

Thanks! I'm eating most of these already. I'm shooting for some variety though so this is a good refresher.

Oh I ALWAYS have tilapia in the freezer too. It's quick, light, versatile and tasty!!!

Hi! I'm 33 and also looking to lose at least 100 pounds if not more. I am currently at 244 as of this morning's weigh-in and I'm trying to get down to at least a 145. I'm in Chicago.

Love at first sight...no. Lust at first sight...hell yeah. Soul mates...ABSOLUTELY!!! The thing is it often takes a few encounters before you know you are soulmates. I've found mine and I wouldn't have thought so from our first sighting although we had a REALLY good time.

The HCG diet is a ridiculous resurgence of Dr. Simmone's book from decades ago. It actually does work but it is so dumb. Kevin Trudeau resurrected it in his book "The Weight Loss Cure". I read the book and it is ridiculous. No wonder he has sparked so much controversy. HCG is a pregnancy hormone that does switch your body…

So if I've lost a guinea pig, does that mean that I can also no longer be a guinea pig? I'm really great as a food tester!

Everyone is different and it can be surprising where your fat stores are being kept. For guys, their junk can seem bigger, gaining an inch or so, after the belly goes down so there's always that. :)

Awesome! Thanks bizco

Okay so if I stick to nice, rich reds and only do one glass each week then I should be okay and I'll save the whites for special occasions. Unfortunately there is a bottle of Riesling that has been in my fridge since Sunday and it is really calling my name. Hmmm....I'm gonna need a plan for that. Time to break out the…

Anybody know if some types and/or brands are better than others? Something that wouldn't be too expensive or difficult to find between my local Jewel/Dominicks/Trader Joes/Sam's Club?
-
Aw man! I knew I would have to slow it down but aw man!!! lol. Okay so maybe if we just did one bottle every 2 weeks? This is going to be so hard. I can deal with the food. I'm okay with the exercise as long as I get my butt up to do it but the wine...yikes!

I am weighing every morning. I think its better for me to do that because when I've attempted weight loss before and didn't check daily, I gave myself permission to exercise later (the tomorrow that never comes) and eventually fall off altogether.
-
My pains were pre-fitness. I'm hoping the exercise will jumpstart some healing for me. Both my knees are awful and I have been experiencing pain in my right hip. I think the hip pain is a combination of compensating for the knee pain and a twice badly broken left angle. My weight is shifted incorrectly. I've been trying…

I'm 5'2". I like being referred to as short, thick and sexy. I am much bigger than I would like to be right now so this weight loss is for me. My biggest issue has always been clothing even when I was what I would consider tiny. I have bowlegs and wide hips with a teeny tiny waist. This makes shopping for pants almost…

Two things happen when your body goes into starvation mode: 1) your metabolism slows down drastically so that you burn less fuel and energy 2) your body begins to digest the healthy muscle for nutrition and holds onto the fat until it absolutely has to consume it. Both of these things working together along with if your…

I'm in. This would actually be my third day of straight exercise. Day 1 (Tuesday) - I did 20 minute workout on Comcast Excercise TV. Something called Cardio Slimdown with Leslie Sansone. Day 2 (Wednesday) - in the AM i did the same Cardio Slimdown workout but after work I also did 10-minute jog, 10-minute super hula and…
