I have been part of several support groups over the last few years. Everyone has been very vocal about their extra skin. I have thought about mine quite a lot as well. Although I think that I would like to have the surgery at some point, I have actually become quite comfortable with my skin. I laughingly call myself the…

Hi CindiKay, I'm new to keto dieting as well, I have been using the Atkins diet on and off for years. I googled -- keto calculator. It brought up several sites and I just picked the first one. You enter all of your info on age, weight, height, etc and then it figures out with you how many grams of everything that you need.…

There is a website called theworldaccordingtoeggface.com that has many different protein shake recipes on it. I really enjoy them. My favorite has chocolate protein powder, instant coffee, sugar free caramel syrup, sugar free chocolate syrup and water. Only 116 calories and 8 grams of carbs with 21 grams of protein. Yummy

I have been doing a water aerobics class every Tue and Thur for about 50 minutes. I try to go another 2-3 times per week and do the elliptical and then work with weights. I also walk for 30 minutes and do a little yoga during my lunch hour every day. It makes for a really long day. I leave my house for work at 6:45 a.m.…

How is everyone doing at the gym? I need to start working with the weights again. I have been concentrating on swimming and the elliptical machine. I really want to start adding some muscle to my body so that I increase my metabolism while at rest.

How was it? I'll be you were a little sore, but it is so much fun. I absolutely love the elliptical machines. I have bad knees and I'm able to get on those things and just go. The gym where I'm at has TV's set up in front of them, so you can get lost watching a show or bring a book -- there is a built in book ledge so you…

I'm all for that! I just bought 3 bags of clothing to replace the wardrobe that's too big for me now! I can't wait to get in to some, as I bought some that were too small still. Love the shopping idea!

Good granny, don't give in. You probably didn't feel any better when you stuffed your emotions with food last week. That is what I have done all my life. My drug of choice has always been food. The problem is, when we use it to calm our nerves or help us get through a tough emotional time, it makes it easier to use it when…

You may laugh at this, but I've used canned green beans to help loose water weight for years. I had an elderly patient tell me this many years ago. I thought she was pulling my leg.....so I tried it and it worked. Eat about half a can and get ready to run to the ladies room. Hope this helps!

I'm sorry for your, loss, but congrats on 92 pounds - woohoo!
