I'll join in, let me know if you've all started.

I love the almond-coconut milk. I use it with a chocolate protein powder and it tastes like a Mounds bar.

Cool

I don't have any ideas of what to do with it that will add variety to your meals but before it spoils freeze it in a ice cube tray and use later for smoothies. I don't know how well it freezes as I've never tried this myself, just an idea..

Some people will tell you that the sugar in fruit doesn't matter but that's not really the case. It can be a very individual problem, as some people are more sensitive to sugar (in any form) than others. If you're at a healthy weight with no metabolic issues I doubt it will make you GAIN weight. However, if you're trying…

That's deep! I love it. I'm going to steal it if that's okay LOL

I haven't read through all the posts so I'm sorry if these are repeats but here are some that I like - "You are far too smart to be the only one standing in your way" "Don't be upset by the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do" "If you're sick of starting over, you have to stop quitting" "Work hard in silence…

I'm not against all plastic surgery, but let me say that it's partly to blame for this problem. Women who are naturally very petite and thin can go get large breast or butt implants. This leads to a culture of worshiping women who's bodies are unnatural. On average, a woman with a naturally large bust and large hips and…

I agree with everyone else who said that you're at gym working toward improving yourself and that's all that matters. Also, what someone thinks of you is their business and you shouldn't concern yourself with it. Most people aren't thinking negative thoughts (as you can see from the responses here) and if they are who…

I get flare ups once in a while. I just have to take Ibuprofen and rest it. After a couple weeks it goes away on its own.

Can I ask everyone, when you lower your carbs, at what percentage or grams do you set your fat and protein? I tried to use a formula someone posted for calculating macros but it doesn't seem accurate once I lower my carbs to 10%.

As far as I can tell there's no requirement for answering someones question. If you think it's ridiculous - ignore it! Get on with your life and only participate in posts that you deem worthy. Problem solved.

The person who has "tried EVERYTHING and I still can't lose weight!" .... Really? You've tried EVERYTHING? Because from where I'm standing you haven't gone one day without eating crap and you never exercise for more than two consecutive days.

I have never liked to share how much I weigh with people around me, meaning the actual number on the scale. It's no shocker that I'm overweight, you can see it by looking at me. But for some insecure reason I keep the number private. In my first semester of nursing school, in a group of about 10 students, we all had to…

I think I read it once, when I was 13. To refer to it each time? Ain't nobody got time for that!

I'm making a quick post so that I can revisit this thread. I'm 309 and can't seem to get under 300. It's getting really frustrating - Anyone feel free to add me! I'm starting with a walking program and cutting out sugar and a lot of carbs.

Is there a comparable oven recipe? My microwave died and I've been delaying getting a new one.

My thoughts exactly.

I didn't mean to start a thread then disappear, sorry about that! I had school all weak. Now that it's spring break I plan to start tomorrow. It's still 20 carbs and most of them are supposed to come from veggies. Usually induction goes for two weeks but some people stay on it longer if they feel they aren't ready to add…

I can't imagine someone making a comment like that on FB and not expecting others to respond. Maybe she does want advice, or support and doesn't know how to ask. Instead of approaching her like you're admonishing her current way of living, why not just offer your support and ask her if she'd like any suggestions or help…

I agree with this 100%. Back in middle school and high school I had no interested in PE at school. My friends and I saw it as a time to goof off and not be in the classroom. However, outside of school (5 nights a week) I was a very active soccer player and cheerleader.

I'm an apple shape 100%. I have over 100 to lose and to be honest I am preparing to have surgery to remove any loose skin. My arms and legs tone up easily but never my stomach. Going through all the work of weight loss just to have my stomach still be an issue is not an option. I know there are many threads about loose…

If you're allowing yourself to use things like low carb tortillas maybe you can make a breakfast burrito with either sausage or bacon, veggies and cheese. Also, you don't have to eat traditional breakfast foods. I've had pieces of cold leftover chicken and made chicken salad for breakfast.

I'm about to finish nursing school, I graduate in 3 months! I know how hard ti can be. Sometimes I'm out of the house for 16+ hours a day. There is never a day without a ton of things to do related to school so it makes grocery shopping and planning meals harder than it should be. I'm cutting out junk food, cooking my own…

It's hard to say. My skin is extremely dry because of the weather. As far as the blemishes, maybe the change in diet is causing a hormonal problem. What kind of eating plan are you on?

Anyone who'd like, please feel free to send me a friend request :) Low carb is the ONLY thing that has ever worked for me. I have yet to make it through induction. I always think I can add an english muffin for breakfast or brown rice for dinner. I really need some motivation from people with similar nutrition goals to…
