This past year has been a roller coaster ride of life events that I let distract me from the healthy lifestyle changes I made in 2016. I've managed to gain back basically all the weight I lost leading up to our wedding in October 2016. My husband loves to eat and can eat a boat load of food and never gain a pound.…

January Plans 1. Exercise 30 minutes, 4 days per week 2. Net carbs (carbs - fiber only) less than 50g on the weekdays, max of 100g on one weekend day only 3. Weight <210lbs by the end of the month 4. Start having daily devotion time with the hubs every morning 5. No booze..except on my bday weekend trip which is the 19th…

I've never had the beef merlot but sounds good! And I agree about the lasanga..big disappointment! I eat these occasionally if I need something quick at work. My favorite is the Mexican Chicken & Vegetables.

Haven't weighed in since Saturday morning. To be quite honest, I was a little too nervous to hop on the scale this morning after eating way too many carbs yesterday.

@macchiatto Yes it is kind of pricey. The tickets are around $50-60 per person depending on how far in advance you purchase and anything extra comes with a price tag. The food there is also pricey so make sure you eat a good breakfast before you go! I think it is cheaper to go in the "off peak" season, but of course the…

@baconslave Small world! I actually grew up about 2 hours East of Asheville, but I had never been to Biltmore until just this weekend!! It was very touristy but also very interesting. We did the audio tour which was off course about $10 more but worth it. It was nice because it told us more info about each room in the…

I just got back from somewhat of a mini vacay that started last Thursday. We started off in Asheville and went to the Biltmore. From there we continued up to the middle of nowhere NC for 2 days of hiking. I didn't log anything past Friday's breakfast thanks to no cell phone service, and I know I ate way more carbs than I…

Nice! Those labs look like an improvement to me. I also get fussed at by our employee health nurse because my total cholesterol is slightly over 200, but like you, my HDL is almost 100 and my trigs are low. Bring on the bacon and eggs!!

Tried on my wedding dress this weekend (which I ordered in a size 14), and it zipped up all the way and fit nicely. When I was trying dresses on, the 16W could not zip fully, but I knew I was going to lose some poundage so I ordered it in a 14 and it now fits!

This month is flying by! I did good last week, but this weekend (yesterday mainly) I had a few too many calories and carbs. My fiance's 30th birthday was yesterday, and he wanted french toast for breakfast which I made and consumed. We also had a surprise birthday party for him last night, and I made a chocolate pound cake…

Thankful to have a fresh start today. After indulging in too much alcohol and doing some alcohol-induced carb munching Saturday night at a fireworks party, I basically felt terrible all day Sunday and half of yesterday. This was a helpful reminder of why it's important to stick to the goals! Surprisingly, weight was the…

Last month went fairly well, but I'm aiming for better this month. I had a few days I went over on calories and carbs mostly due to wine :# SW: 260 on 3/24/16 CW: 226 on 7/2/16 GW: 180ish Goals for the month -Nutrition: Carbs <75g total daily, Fat >80g, minimal alcohol consumption at this weekend's festivities -Exercise: 5…

I do LCHF, not strictly keto so I aim for less than 75g total (not net) carbs daily. I agree with previous posters, regularly scheduled "cheat days" or "cheat meals" do not a successful lifestyle change make. I've been doing this WOE for over 3 months now and have had a few days with total carbs 100-150g so I guess you…

This has been a pretty good month, but I have not lost as much as the prior months according to the scale. I went to the doc last Thursday and weighed in at 228.6 which is down just over 30 pounds in 3 months! I also took measurements and found that I have lost and additional total of 7.75 inches this month (from chest,…

Last week was a crazy week at work and had several social occasions too. Yet again drank too much wine at one of said social events which led to eating too much food, but this is a new week! I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday which will be right at my 3 month mark since making this lifestyle change. I'm anxious to…

Hi there! Glad to hear things are getting better for you. I have had acid reflux for years and had to take a PPI and h2 blocker most of the time to control it. However, I've been off all meds since a week or so after starting LCHF and I'm 3 months in now. I've only had 2 episodes of reflux since, and it was quickly…

I have lost almost 30 pounds in 3 months, but I lost 17 of those pounds in the first month so things have slowed down. Month two I lost 7.5 pounds, and so far I've lost 4.5 pounds this month with one week left to go until I officially weigh in and take measurements for the month 3. I agree with the previous posts--take…

Well the first 11 days of the month are going pretty well. My only slip up was drinking a little too much wine one night >:) , but aside from that things are going good. SW: 260 CW: 230.4 (-3 pounds since June 1st) :) GW: 180ish Goals for the month: Carbs less than 100g daily-- :) No more than one drink weekly :# slipped…

This will be my first monthly challenge as well. I've been following the low carb lifestyle for almost 3 months now and haven't felt this great in a long time! So far I'm down almost 27 pounds, but I do feel like I could use some extra motivation to get closer to my goals. I plan to check in once weekly. SW: 260 CW: 233.4…

Hi guys! I have just joined MFP, and I'd love to join this group. Everyone is doing great! SW: 250 CW: 247.8 GW: 180 Weigh in Dates: 12/1: --- 12/8: 247.8 12/15: 12/22: 12/28: End of the month: Total loss: starting from 12/8 so 0.0lbs

Hello! I would love to join this group. My goal is to lose about 70 pounds, and would definitely help to have some motivation from others who are on similar journeys! Good luck to you all! luckycharmz137
