Oh, why not. The gifs are funny.

So true and a great reminder for myself!!

Move your butt!

I'm allergic to milk, so I eat any that doesn't have milk in it. But, I also like it to have other stuff in it, especially chilies. I usually eat chocolate with a pretty high percentage of cocoa, but right now have one that's only 55% with orange peel that's Chocolove brand. It's yummy! Darker chocolate is a bit of an…

I really liked the app a lot. I used it until I fractured my heel :(

I love hummus and especially Sabra. I read the results of a taste test they did and that ranked as the highest, or almost the highest. My hubby and I love the roasted red pepper the best.

Feel free to add me! I enjoy encouraging others and I try to stay just under my calorie goal.

I agree! Psychologically, we set ourselves up to fail with restrictive diets. I have a lot of food allergies and health issue, so I eat close to Paleo, but that's a goal, not a rule.

Hi! I've been on here off and on for years. Anyone may feel free to add me as a friend and we'll keep each other motivated!

For the record, I didn't read the other posts, but if you check out my profile, I have scriptures that encourage and help me with my journey!

I have a serious dairy allergy and I use coconut milk in place of milk, coconut oil in place of butter (in baking), and I eat coconut milk ice cream. I'm allergic to almond otherwise I've heard almond milk is good. Check out my blog for more support/information. http://foodallergiesandrestrictions.blogspot.com/

I use it in place of butter because of a dairy allergy, as with anything moderation is key. It's still an oil, but it does work great as a butter replacement when cooking.

I agree that 2 lbs is great, especially with PCOS (which I have as well). I would try going gluten free and trying to eat more "paleo" that is what my dr.s have recommended and it's going really well for me!!

You look great! You even look younger! Great job!!

Awesome! Very inspiring!

Thanks! I still don't like my thighs, but that is a big step in the right direction. It's been a looooong time since I saw the light!

I absolutely do not believe in "diets" but due to food allergies I try to avoid any refined sugar.

Very cool!!

I don't believe in "diets" and try not to really make foods off limits. It's too damaging psychologically to think like that. I do have a "free day" which are Sundays but I don't really eat any differently, it's more of a day to take a break from thinking about and logging everything I eat.

Thanks!! You are all so encouraging!! :)

I had a HUGE sweet tooth and now fruit is sweet like candy to me and I never thought that would happen! I eat no refined sugar now and it's crazy what is sweet to me now-even carrots!!

I have arrhythmia's which don't affect my day to day that much as long as I take care of myself. No medication or surgery. Feel free to friend me!

I am 36 and have had pretty bad acne since my teens. I have hormonal acne due to PCOS and have tried all the "gimmicks" and the only thing that has helped is having a very consistent skin care regimen and avoiding gluten, dairy and refined sugar (due to food allergies). Drinking lots of water helps too! This will likely be…

Feel free to add me!

I do, except on Sundays and that's mostly to give my brain a break. I don't really eat differently, even though I say it's a "fee day".

I was going to say just about the same thing! I would at least cut down on those complex carbs that give no nutritional value like breadsticks, etc. I agree with eating Paleo which is basically meat, fruit and veggies!

I log every bite, and yes, sometimes it is even zero calories, or 2 or 3, but I log everything. Mostly so I don't get into the mindset of "oh, I don't need to log that" and then taking too far and being way off on my calorie count and I like to keep track of various nutrients as well.

Mostly because of food allergies I don't really eat any complex carbs. I primarily eat meat, fruit & veggies but I'm not perfect for sure! :)

I'm not really sure, mine is closed to anyone who isn't my friend, but I accept all friend requests, so it seems to be a moot point. I don't really care.
