Hello ladies! I've added you all, and I'd love for you to add me too! Climbing back on the keto horse after a year of stress and school. At my highest weight ever, and I need all the support I can get. That said, I did successfully lose 12lbs on my last keto go, so I know it's possible for me, and I have the goddamn power!…

Keto is LCHF (low carb high fat) diet in which the goal is to get your body into ketosis; a fat-burning state your body enters when you eat a very low number of carbs (usually <50g/day). My science-y lingo is kind of crap, but basically it is based on the idea that carbohydrates cause insulin spikes, which cause us to…

I'm not sure what anyone has said to you that's been so horrible, but really, it can't be all that bad. If it's about your previous post, I read it. I don't think anyone was being mean, I think they are worried about you. I'm having a hard time figuring out if someone has actually said something bad to you or if you are…

I had spinach tamales last time I did Mexican and they weren't too high calorie. They did come smothered in cheese though, but I'm sure you can remedy that.

I'm a salt fiend, so keeping the sodium down for the first time in my life has been tough. And I never seem to get enough protein, so I'll look for ways to get those numbers up. I'm sure it'll be better for me in the long run. Thanks for the advice and encouragement! :D

My clothes are much looser, but this hasn't changed much for the past couple of weeks. I was doing EA Sports Active for my PS3 which was great for switching up exercises, but now I'm in a group that's doing the 30 Day Shred, so I've yet to learn what kind of results I'll get from it. Hopefully it'll help!

I've heard about running strollers, maybe one of those would do you good?

Good advice ladies, thanks!

I always do pad thai with tofu, but recently I discovered that the green curry at thai restaurants is amazing. I get it with tofu and dump some on a scoop of rice. Filling and amazing, though I don't know much about it nutrition-wise.

I stole Alton Brown's recipe, it is as follows: 3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled 1 lime, juiced 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon cayenne 1/2 medium onion, diced 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro 1 clove garlic, minced Directions In a large bowl place…

After I saw someone's culture growing in their house, I will never be able to drink it.

I make homemade guacamole and serve it with the quinoa, salsa, and some sour cream. It's so delicious, it will actually make you a better person.

Sadly I am a bit too far away in Olympia, but I hope you find someone closer! :D

Day 3 done...almost didn't do it today due to soreness. Yesterday I was sick for several hours afterward...clearly I'm much more out of shape than I first thought.

Ugh, day 2 done and I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

Did well last time, I believe I'll do well again! Starting weight: 133.5

Pick up a copy of "The Healthy College Cookbook", it's made of magic.

Just did this for the first time and whoa...almost took a break in the middle, and managed not to. Starting Measurements: Chest: 36" Arm: 11" Waist: 30.5" Hips: 37.5" Thigh: 22"

I am definitely in. Going to make my own weights tomorrow with soda bottles and rocks. Hurray for poverty! :D

I'm in the last challenge, I think I'll try this one as well. :D "brittanymonster"

Thanks for the encouragement guys, you're all wonderful! :D

It's for dry.

Starting weight: 140 lbs Week 1 weight: 136 lbs Week 2 weight: 135 lbs Week 3 weight: 134 lbs Current weight: 133.5 lbs I feel like the scale will budge a little more within the next couple of days. :D

Bump for interest. My boobies will often FALL OUT due to crappy elastic in the bands. Thank goodness I work out at home...

I get this super cheap stuff by SciFit called "Econo Whey." It's some of the cheapest out there and I think it's delicious. I get the chocolate marshmallow flavor. BUT! It tastes awful mixed with water. Only drink this one blended with ice and milk.

I did the 3-week challenge, which had me working out 4 days a week, my choice of days. The workouts on the medium difficulty setting were around 18-20 minutes, and on hard between 22-26 minutes. Don't know about easy difficulty. If you miss a day, when you go to the workout screen where your calendar and such are, it will…

I know I should switch, but I don't want to break my own heart...

Starting weight: 140 lbs Week 1 weight: 136 lbs Week 2 weight: 135 lbs Current Weight: 134 lbs Had a weekend with friends, Valentine's Day, and a friend's 21st b-day all in a row, and still managed to lose. :D
