Ok, that's what I was hoping to hear. I'm not living in an alternate universe after all, lol.

Ok... so why do low carb diets exist? What's so bad about carbs? Doesn't our body turn them into glucose and runs on it?

Tried to word it differently.

I'm asking that seriously. I'm clueless.

Working on losing 100 and Just starting. Look at pictureS of happy people and convince yourself you can be like them. Worked for me.now to get motivated every day I look at before and after pics.

Junk food is definitely our norm. The family's gonna be pissed, lol!

I should add we cook in cast iron over the fire. No grill. :(

Lol, ice cream sounds so good right now. :P

Alright, so basically avoid sugar when possible and look for nutrients. Don't even worry about how low it is... And too high is merely when it ups my calories big time?

Eat steak.

So the goal isn't so important, just the source?

I would highly suggest logging your food. I'm just starting myself and I've found it to be an incredible tool. If you're concerned with accuracy then you could get a food scale. It doesn't have to be perfect and you can set it (your log) so that only you see it. I highly suggest you use this tool. :)

You did it. It happened. Accept it. Throw out that pizza, go for a walk to clear your head, get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day. You want to binge? Eat some bites of a food you hate that has a strong taste. It'll calm your brain down. It'll be okay. You've already lost 6 lbs. Of course you can continue. :)

Changed jobs and became a stepmom in one go. Lifestyle completely changed... into stress.

PrissyPisces, I thankfully didn't hear anything negative in my case; just concern. I think it shocks people just how quickly weight can come off. It's strange how it's assumed something may be wrong with you when it does. At the time my mom was losing as well. She was only eating 700 cal. a day, so now I see why they were…

Eat more food. Gain more muscle. Gaunt will go away. The first time in my life, 3 years ago, I was living healthily. I still had 30 lbs to lose to hit ideal. Everyone told me to stop losing weight. They couldn't help it. It was too different. So I got fat again and gained 70 back. Do what YOU the think is healthy.

I'm sure criminals prefer sleeping in.

You guys are all so wonderful! Thanks a ton! :)

Added you! Thanks! :)

Thank you! And nice work! :)

I will! Thank you. :)
