I'll be following your progress! I am trying to go zero carb for two meals a day (say, breakfast and dinner), and slowly transition into full zero carb in a few months or so. We shall see how it works out for me, now that most veggies taste sweet to me, I want to eat them all.

I tried on Women's size 4 pants at the local TJ Maxx... and they comfortably fit, which is baffling, but good for my ego. Apparently I somehow have a size 28 waist.

Lets Do It! 1. Minimize restaurant trips and food waste. If a restaurant can make it, so can I, and Starbucks is becoming a bad habit lately. No more than two trips a week excluding Sunday breakfast and coffee stop. 2. Better sleeping habits - In bed by 10:30 pm 5 days a week. 3. Drop 3-5 lb this month. Usually I am not…

This ^^^ I have days when I am busy and working out makes me not hungry at all. I don't generally eat breakfast, and if I do a long run in the evening, I may end up with only 600-800 calories for the day (my lunch meal). I'm not big on forcing myself to eat when I don't want to, so I am not super concerned. If Kurt had a…

1 February! Challenge finished. 1. I did not quit dairy, but I significantly cut down on it - only cheese and only one meal a day. No cream cheese, no HWC, no ricotta or mascarpone, just a bit of hard cheese and I am good. I am happy with this outcome, and will strive to keep it up. 2. Working out twice a day was rough,…

Yep, they apparently killed it... again.

If you make that jicama thing, let me know how it turns out. I made faux-fried apples out of zucchini once, but I really want jicama to be a better substitute.

Try this: https://www.facebook.com/Tootiefoodie/posts/782212801893773 I searched Pinterest and found a few recipes, this one might work.

I switched from boredom eating to boredom drinking. If I am not hungry, I will sip on water. Works with the added bonus of keeping me hydrated.

I'm beginning to cut down on veggies one meal at a time. Now I only have one serving a day, if that. I need to try to see if I can go full on meatavore for a few days, and see if it will mess with my system. Usually in the winter I tend to cut down on veggies, because very few are in season, and eat meat instead.

Get keto adapted, your runs will get better. I run 25-30 miles a week and am training for my first half.

I found Walden Farms pancake syrup over the weekend, and drizzled a bit of it over a few small pieces of brie yesterday. So good, and knocked out my sugar cravings. Next step, try cooking with it. I got some paleo recipes that I can try to keto-ize.

Started January 2014, at 181, went down to 151, fell off the wagon last year because stress, and re-started at 174 after a few months in October. I let go a bit around the holidays (no re-gain, but I stalled my losses), and am trying to get back to that 151 right now. My SO is also keto-ing, so my accountability and…

I got a bag at Costco. Yummmmm, the boyfriend and I destroyed them. I am not getting another bag, that's just a binge waiting to happen.

While I don't see myself actually watching the show (my life is too busy to watch TV for the most part), I am waiting with baited breath for the updates from you guys. #TeamAbel

I'm in the "got less but didn't go away" camp, but they happen a lot less now, and some vitamin X (exedrin) fixes them up nicely, so I am super glad to be rid of horrible, painful, icky 4-5 times a month migraines.

I have a favorite coffee bar I go to, but the set-up at the house is fairly basic, a cheap coffee maker, good organic locally-roasted coffee (ok, ok, I'm a hipster), and some sugar-free Torani.

I wonder if a lack of chocolate craving can indicate that your body has a good amount of magnesium in it? I never really craved chocolate, maybe that means I shouldn't supplement.

My goal is below 20 net, usually I end up much less, and around 15-20 total.

I have to second all the comments about cleanses, wraps, pills or anything similar. Also, the whole "just eat less" advice annoys the heck out of me, mostly because it's not even well-meaning advice, just a flip way to tell you you're stupid. Add to that list "just love yourself the way you are", and "you need to treat…

I'm a ketoer! Welcome!

Happy Friday! 1. Doing better with dairy consumption. I will consume dairy only for one meal a day. Seems to be easier to stick to. 2. I got out to the gym this morning, as well as Wednesday. Other days I've done a small calisthenics workout at home. I am counting it as a success. 3. Doing good on not eating out, although…

If every couple of weeks you need a whole new wardrobe, and you're beginning to have a love/hate relationship with clothes shopping.

Congrats!!!

I don't like sweetners in my BPC. I stick with the original recipe, kerrygold, MCT oil, coffee. Although if you want to go really decadent, add a square of 90% chocolate. Mmmmm.

When your argument with a 'weight-loss expert' at work goes something like this: Him: I got a degree in this and work with John Hopkins! You: So did the people recommending cigarettes in the 1950s. Here are some books, articles and research about this topic. Him: ...

Cutting down on dairy: nope. Not working. I need to get on that horse again. Two workouts a day: I'll get there today, since workout number one is knocked out, but the rest of the week looks crazy busy, so maybe I'll get another twofer on Friday. Eating out: oh, Starbucks, you're my kryptonite. Other than that, I am doing…

I came to low carb by the way of paleo, where I came by the way of getting really ticked at my doctor for telling me all my inflammation, depression, aches and pains were normal, and I should probably should give up running (I was 23). I finally convinced him to test me for gluten allergies, and sure enough, I have them.…

Feel free to add me! The bigger the support group the easier to keep on track!

Well, I'm not going to never, but I will avoid following things: diet cookies, cakes, anything grainy; diet microwave dinners, fake butter in any form, anything that hangs out in the vegan freezer at the local Whole Foods. Also, chips, popcorn, lots of fruit and granola bars. Fat reduced dairy. Conventional sports drinks.…
