I know what you mean! It is such mental victory to drop down into another decade on the scale! You will get there!

Well, it is Memorial Day! I did not manage to lose 10 pounds during this challenge, but I DID make significant changes. I have gotten back into doing workouts in my garage, and I have been eating keto compliant with only a few exceptions. I am only down 6 lbs, which is not "stellar," but I am now able to comfortably wear…

BRAVO! Congratulations on completing your first 10 K!

This past week I started doing HIIT with weighted jump ropes and body weight exercises plus I am now adding some electrolytes, and that really seemed to help! I was actually down a little more before the weekend, but we had a graduation party for my youngest yesterday, and I allowed myself some off-plan high carb foods,…

Bravo! This is the best, most sustainable way to do it! A half pound a week equals 26 lbs in a year. Heck, even just a quarter pound a week equals 13 pounds gone at the end of the year! Also, I would venture a guess that due to the amount of exercise you are doing, you may be losing more fat than the number on the scale…

Gotta’ be honest and confess that I am a bit frustrated. The numbers on the scale are fluctuating in the 133-135 range. I get a little hopeful each time I see a 133 but it will not STAY down. I have been hovering here for over a month, stuck in Plateau-land! So, I am trying to keep my focus on other things, like…

Congrats on finding something that works for you. I am also a fan of Keto, and I know there are other Keto gals in this group.

I know you have a small frame (5 foot tall), but 950 calories sure sounds low! Don’t go too low. It can have adverse health effects such as with your hormones and metabolism, just to name a few.

Stalled!!! So frustrating, but I am hanging in there because I know that I feel so much better at a lower body-fat ratio than where I am now. (I got down to the 120-125 range in 2017 and felt amazing.) I am currently dealing with some health issues, inflammation, and lousy sleep. These are also players in this game.…

People say low carb is unhealthy,” because they believe all the propaganda we have been told about what makes up a “balanced” diet. Carbohydrates are NOT a necessary nutrient. We do not NEED grains. Humans are incredibly adaptable, and we manage to survive on the standard western diet that is very carb-centered; but one…

I highly recommend the Rebel keto-friendly ice cream. It has about 6 net carbs for an ENTIRE pint and it tastes delish!

Sorry to say I went the WRONG direction this week...but I am not surprised because I allowed myself to go way off my low carb/keto plan for the weekend. Now to flex my self-control muscle and get back to doing the hard work to achieve my goals! Highest weight -153 lbs Height - 5'5" 3/25 - 138 lbs 4/1 - 136 lbs 4/8 - 134…

I neglected checking in on Monday. I guess I was not very excited since there was no losses to report. (((Sigh!))) Oh well! It is not due to me eating junk. I did have a few glasses of wine on Friday night, but that has been my only splurge. And truly, I can not complain, as I generally shed weight painfully slow, so 4…

Sorry for your loss. It is so easy to “self medicate” with food when we are sad. Kudos to you for recognizing this and taking action to reign that in. We are here to cheer you on!

Magnesium citrate will help with sluggish bowels. You can get an expensive version called Natural Calm which is a powder you mix and drink. When I have taken it at night, it also helps me sleep. But, you can also buy an inexpensive magnesium supplement in pill form...as long as it is the "citrate" version of mag, it will…

That looks amazing! Are ou going to share the recipe?

I am so sorry for your loss! I have let food be my comfort in the past and I totally get that. My experience in no way compares to your loss, but I will share...I was in a bad car accident a few months ago. My car was totaled and it was a major life disruption, source of stress, and pain. It was so tempting to just "relax"…

It is hard to say without knowing more about what you are eating. Your profile pic suggests that you do not have much excess bodyfat to draw on so you may not be eating enough fat. Or perhaps you are having too many carbs to get fully into ketosis? And of course, there is also the possibility that you need to boost your…

I sent you a friend request!

I do not know...I hope you will share your experience. I just wanted to chime in and say how much I have been benefitting from L. Vogel's podcast. Highly recommend!
