Artificial sweeteners aren't the best for long term health. I think there is enough research to support that. But I still use them sparingly of course. Splenda just happens to be one of my favorites. In order to cut down on the artificial sweeteners, I had to stop eating foods that required additional sweetening. that was…

I actually make my own with a Italian dressing seasoning packet to provide the spices. It is called Zesty Italian and it is a dry pack of seasoning that you add to your own oil and vinegar. I use APC plus MCT oil and a squeeze of lemon and flax seeds. It is the most delicious in the world. Low carbs, almost no sugar and…

Mall walking. I love looking at all of the skinny clothes in the window. Clothes that i will one day be able to wear.

You had me at Harry Potter. Friend me if you like, but I will be honest Jenny Craig was a disastrous failure for me. I wasted a lot of money and stuck with it for 3 years. At the end, I was 2 pounds heavier then when I started. I think I just hated eating the food. I should have been positively influenced by the…

Lean Secrets with Brenda Lee Turner, Butter Bob

I am about 70 pounds into what needs to be a 100 pound weight lost. It has been very very tough, but I am making progress. I am only 30 pounds from goal. If there is anything I can do to encourage you, please feel free to friend me.

I completely understand what you are saying. This website is highly focused on CICO and being very meticulous with calorie counting and weighing. But the site is also really flexible for those who want to use it differently. You have people on here who fast, or who don't count calories at all. If you want to get support…

I had to eliminate sugar in order to address the aches and pains that were happening in my knees and back. Once I got the inflammation down, things got better. I will be honest though, when I was at my bigger weight, I never pushed myself too, too hard because of fear of injury. So all I ever did was walk and do isometric…

Kind of a long post ahead here, but I want to make sure to give you some of the great feedback that others gave to me when I first started. Keto for me has been a life saver. I look at Keto as more of a medical/healing/metabolic diet hack for those you have extremely damaged metabolisms. It's a significant lifestyle change…

yep, that inspired me! Great job.

Just about any solution that requires you to purchase it is a red flag for me. This does not include "packaging of info". Some people are just too lazy, too confused or too busy to be able to pull together the most important elements of a new eating plan. So if someone wants to do that work for you and then charge you for…

You're beautiful regardless of weight, but losing the weight helps us see the fine details of your beauty much better. Thank you for being motivation.

How the hell do you eat them? I can't imagine that you're supposed to just grab a fork and chomp on them. Do you have to eat them fried or with crackers or something? I need guidance. They are supposed to be LOADED with good vitamins, omega-3 and they are sustainable. Got my attention but somebody' s got to tell me how to…

Hi There. I am not familiar with HCG and I am so sorry you are having ill after affects. I would LOVE to support you as you repair your metabolism and get back on the track to your desired life style. Since I don't know much about the diet, My support can only extend to rooting you on and providing an ear to listen. I do…

Wear what makes you feel your absolute sexiest self. Who cares about other people's comments or what they have to say. They can kick rocks. If you feel more comfortable in the larger one, then rock it. But if you want to show a few fleeced out curves, then wear the smaller. Be happy and confident, that is all that matters

Everything that everyone has said here is correct. However, if you mentally are just not ready to do this, none of their advice will matter. You've got to get to the root of what motivates you. You need to get to the root of what is causing this sense of hopelessness. As mentioned above, losing weight physically is not…

HI All. I am down 64 pounds. This is a great accomplishment for me. I only have about 40 pounds to go to reach my first goal.

Insulin is my personal devil. I can CICO all I want but if that insulin isn't in check, I lose nothing. BUT I truly believe that CICO works GREAT too. There is no single right answer. So many factors, such as insulin, age, metabolic damage, disease can affect which methods work best for you. When I was in my 20's, I…

YUM!!! Ox Tails

OHHHH LORD!!!!!!! I don't even know what we're doing here, but I'm in. Can someone show me how to post a GIF?

All of the above. You have to figure out what works for YOU which may take some experimentation. Start with simple Calories in Calories out (CICO) to get started and then clean your diet up from there. If CICO doesn't work or you find that you are gaining the weight back or having issues with BMR, then you may need to…

I love my MIL. Anything that I THOUGHT she was doing bad to me became insignificant with more age, maturity and wisdom on my part. I realize now that she just loves hard, protects her family and TAKES NO CRAP. I can't even explain how much I have learned from her. She's a beast in the very best way. Love you Mommy (in-law).

Macadamia nuts are my favorite but they can get you into trouble. I also LOVE guac and pork rinds. Sounds gross I know, but it's one of my favorites.

I wish I had more info as to why the Dr. put you on a diet that doesn't include fruits, veggies, etc. Is it because they are trying to limit your carbs or control blood sugar? If so, you might want to check with your Dr. before you start eating more fruit. (If you already explained this but I missed it, I apologize)…
