When I was growing up we had mandatory recess and PE from grade K-12. The year before I entered high school, which should have been middle school but small town and we didn't have a middle school, they got rid of home-economics and the one cooking class. By 7th PE was entirely an elective after 8th grade. The only…

It's okay though. They have bacon.

Oh, got one for my hubby even though he's doing half-a**ed keto LOL. He dropped weight so fast at the beginning that I bought him some smaller size shorts, one the size he rapidly got into and the other the next one down. Well, he can't find the former, and I said just try the latter and BOOM, they fit perfectly. Scale…

Just had my co-worker tell me my butt is smaller than hers now..... I guess that's good? Didn't want to lose the booty but okay LOL. I also don't think I'm smaller, but it was nice to hear my weight loss is noticeable now. :) She's started walking on breaks now too, saying I inspired her!

I had to do the 20g or less at the start to adjust quicker, but now vary day to day without going over 50g. The first month I had carbmares LOL. I'd dream about eating chocolate cake and waffles and then getting mad at myself for going off plan in the dream. They went away very quickly thankfully.

Well, this morning the cravings are gone. I ate more than normal yesterday and I think I was in fact right. I was just hungry. I was also lighter on the scale too which is so weird... Maintenance is so far away at the moment, I haven't given it much thought other than knowing I just can't go back to old habits and I…

I guess I really don't feel all that deprived other than the crazy that overcame me this weekend. I do sometimes think about sweets, they were always my weakness, but until recently, I hadn't wanted a single one. I have some dark chocolate squares that I think I may dive into if the doughnut craving comes back. I am not…

Face, followed by bum, followed by thighs, followed by arms/boobs, and my stomach just laughs at me. :(

On the Quest bars, they recently changed their recipe from the fiber source that was causing blood sugar issues to corn soluble fiber. I couldn't tell you if this is better or not on blood sugar, just that the new formula tastes to me like paper and makes the bars really dry and chewy? The only ones I can tolerate are the…

Bahahah, so would this be like Fear The Walking Ketoers? I had my insurance health assessment yesterday. We do it every year, but the results don't affect our rates unless we smoke, so it's a waste of time to me and frankly, I give my sweat, tears, and time to this company, they do not need my blood too! After the needle…

I actually lost weight both times the hubby and I did all inclusive, we even got married at one. I think it was because we were super active all day and well, all night. So many water sports and lots of walking and beach volleyball. It definitely wasn't from diet. I stayed drunk and ate tons. Honestly, I wouldn't worry…

<3

Wow, you all are so inspirational. GREAT JOB! <3 this thread!

I like food. I tend to like eating too much food.

I shoot for 1200 a day. I did just plain CICO for a bit last year, this number didn't scare me. I was exercising like mad though to squeeze in sweets at the end of the day or to eat a little extra from time to time, that it just got mentally and physically exhausting. On low carb, I don't have to worry with that anymore. I…

Thank you all..... Now my coworkers think I'm nuts. Not sure if this is a new development or not though.... I'll get back with you on that.

Well, to clarify my "mostly", I don't count fiber in veggies as a carb and I don't eat any sugar alcohols anymore aside from Erythritol, which I also don't count. The rest I don't trust, and aside from an occasional quest bar, I don't eat the Atkins/low carb bars or treats. I just don't really crave sweets anymore, and…

My hubby last night said, "The more weight you lose, the younger you look. You don't look a day out of high school now." Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, that's why I keep him LOL.

Net mostly.

That's what we call my neck of Florida too. Lower Alabama. Although lately it should be Lower Georgia with the influx of tourist coming from there lol.

My short term goal is 190, my long term is 150, maybe 140ish. :) 215 now and 50 down already.

I experienced this in my 20's with my hubby, then boyfriend. I had lost a lot of weight and was getting super skinny. All of a sudden his friends were paying me all kinds of attention and that really annoyed the crap out of him. He's always been a big guy and personally, if it wasn't for his health, I'm fine with him they…

I drink coffee every work day and so far it hasn't affected anything. I sometimes use heavy cream, sometimes sugar free creamer, and always a few drops of liquid splenda. I've never had it throw me out of ketosis or negatively impact my blood sugar, but as mentioned artificial sweeteners are definitely a YMMV thing. I've…

community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1143-keto There are some low carb/keto groups on MFP that are very supportive and full of information.

Most of those work by sending a small electrical current through you. Your bodies hydration level impacts it a lot. If you are dehydrated it'll make the readings high. I don't trust the body fat scales as I can retain water like it's no joke and too much water will make the readings lower. But yum, pistachios. I can't…

I count net carbs in veggies at least as fiber doesn't really get entirely digested. While today I am following @FIT_Goat's example and consuming pretty much meat, I usually have enough fiber in my veggies to keep my fiber up, although no where close to the level "they" say it should be. The first month I had bathroom…

I get random cravings for bun on hamburgers often, but that's about it as for as potatoes and bread. I've had no problem abstaining from them when put before me. Lately I've been thinking a lot about cheating, but I realize it's entirely hormonal and out of boredom. Sweets are my main issue, but if I can say no to…

Not as much as I should. Lately been drinking mostly tea and diet soda and coffee in the mornings mon thru Fri. Not dehydrated according to pee color but I do know that when I do drink mostly water I lose more. I just hate it so much lol. I was doing really well with cutting out the soda but it's hard. I love me some diet…

I honestly just never think of it..... I don't talk to many folk outside of North America unless they are tourist at Disney World. Oops! But I most definitely will now LOL! Sorry.... Panama City, Florida, United States
