Hey all, I am jumping on here (adorable baby, by the way) to say Hello and introduce myself. I started Keto WOE AGAIN after 2 years off and I am about a week in. Seeing improvements already. The struggles are there and I can always use support so I am throwing my hat in the ring.

I will be your keto friend. After a bunch of bumps in my road (injuries, excrutiating pain, a year of PT), a baby, hormone problems... you name it... stress... I am back on KETO! I have dropped about 5 pounds since I started a week ago and my clothes seem to be fitting better. My cravings are already gone and I have no…

I am on day 5 of LCHF and my food "addiction" disappeared the second day! I had prayed because someone pointed out to me that I treated food like a "god" and kept saying "I LOVE food!" I am sure that God helped deliver me so quickly, but it is also the science of biochemistry (which God created!) Watch Dr. Lustig's video…

I used the wrong format for the links. They should be okay now. A few were not re-sized correctly but I don't care. I'm too tired to fix them!!! You get the general idea... eat less, move more = beauty and health! :-)

Another poignant post...you have been through so much in your life. I'm humbled every time I read your posts. Thank you for sharing. You should consider compiling these posts in a book. You inspire, encourage, and touch so many people. Your honesty, candor, and courage (you're so REAL!) are priceless. I, too, have faced…

Someone might have said this... I don't have time t read all the precious posts. We love the romanesco and cauliflower frozen blend. It's got garlic seasoning. I cook it with a little water in a sauté pan. Yum! And their eggplant and zucchini slices in frozen foods are divine! Make great sandwiches! Enjoy!

Damn!

I was at a yard sale today and was so pi$$ed that I couldn't wear any of the adorable dresses my friend had for sale because they were size 14 and I DON'T WEAR THAT SIZE ANYMORE! They were like potato sacks on me! Oh darn! Gotta find me some size 8's I guess...

I was about your age when I decided to lose weight before getting pregnant. You are young and you can do it. I lost 30 lbs before I had my daughter and if I can do it, anyone can (this was before smart phones and myfitnesspal!) I lost 30 lbs two times since then. My weight gain has always been the result of medications for…

A high-powered "suit"

Superman (he's a MUCH better Ex than a husband---AND he's a great DAD!) Wish all single moms could be so lucky! :-)

Host of a fishing show Oh crap, someone already said "host of a survival show." Close enough. I second that!

That kinda made me cry! Glad I'm not the only one... What a great feeling you must have had!

Happy Birthday! Mine is Monday and you better believe I'm having cake! Or actually, Jeni's ice cream, which is heavenly and sinful, all at once. Enjoy in a controlled manner, plan for it, and be grateful you are around to have a birthday and use your taste buds! Some people aren't so fortunate...

LOL! I needed that!

I have found that a 10,000 lux light box does wonders to reset my circadian rhythm and help me feel alert in the morning and sleepy at night.

And here, I thought they were to show him where to place his thumbs to get a good grip...

You look like a completely different person, and you seem so lively and healthy! Way to go!

Sneaky

Apparently there are a bunch of us out here. Someone just posted the same thing a week or so ago. Feel free to add me, I was just diagnosed as hypothyroid a couple of months ago, and I'm on medication now. Slow weight loss, for sure... And you might want to turn off your CAPS lock, people can get touchy around here!

My cousin, a 40-year-old woman, is shorter than I am (I'm at 5' 6", i think she is 5' 3"). She is also much slimmer than I am, and she holds a state record for dead lift, at 315 pounds. Of course,, she is a powerlifter, but it shows you that hand weights are NOT going to cut it! Somewhere in between your 15 lb dumbbell and…

AND, we have stronger bones, too, which means less osteoporosis and bone breaks as we age!

Beast!

Besides the fact that my serving of kale (for example) had 65 calories, I also track veggies because when I have a "good week" weight-loss/measurement-wise, I can go back in my diary and recreate some of my meals and hopefully, replicate my success! Otherwise, it wil look like I am only eating steak, eggs, cheese, and milk…

Broken rubber

Exactly! Over 500 identified substances in an apple, alone! Including arsenic and lead! (Naturally occurring, NOT from pesticides, etc.) Actually, this is a great post, OP!

I, too, am SO frustrated with thyroid issues and my weight not wanting to budge! I am on Armour Thyroid (since March), and my TSH is now at .28. My doctor doesn't want to change anything, and wants to see if I can lose more weight before my next follow-up. Anyone can add me, but I'm so new at this, I don't know how many…
