We went to St Croix in August for our honeymoon and I wanted to eat all the local food that I can't get here and must have fun and relax and enjoy little umbrella drinks by the pool... So I did :) I'd say relax and enjoy yourself. Do as much physical activity as you want but it's a vacation.... Enjoy it and relax :) All…

The salon I used to work at sold them but I never really pushed them on customers because I never really believed they worked... I did a 4 pack in the month leading up to my wedding last summer (because I got them diet cheap) and had no difference....

Couldn't that be considered bribery? I've never heard of such a thing.

FYI... I had never made the bacon mozzerella chicken with basil before (only without) and I just sat down to eat it and it is amazing! And so moist I can cut it with just a fork.

Or sometimes I will mix cream cheese and diced jalepenos and put that mixture on before I wrap it in the bacon... So so good

I do low carb so often I take chicken breast and wrap in bacon and cook and when it is cooked I top with one ounce mozzella and put back into the oven until melted. I'm actually making this right now. This time I put a little fresh basil paste on the chicken before the bacon. I also have an amazing jerk chicken recipe that…

I've lost 43 so far but I'm not updating my ticker until my official weigh in on the 1st. I started my journey in September and did great Septmeber and October and things just got hectic and I fell off majorly for November and December and a bit of January. I had lost I think 24 pounds in those first few months and when I…

I'm not hating on OP at all...I am a MAJOR supporter of low carb... He said he drinks sodas and eats sausages and hot dogs and only veggies every Couple of days and said he is doing low carb and not feeling well..... That is pretty much what would be expected from that particular diet... I do low carb and I love it and…

Exactly.... So eating the amount of protein needed to actually put your kidneys into dialysis would be an extremely high amount....

If a person was eating almonds then no they weren't following induction... I see a lot where people make up their own version and say they are doing induction but no they aren't... I would suggest actually finishing out induction as instructed and not changing it at all and then when that phase is finished move up to OWL…

I've read up on it... I know what it is and YES it says eat as much as you want BUT so does Atkins and as an adult I know it's not a good idea to think like... Oh hey I am low carbing I'll just eat 5 pounds of steak for dinner... Which a LOT of people do so of course they have kidney issue and it's counterproductive to a…

For you?.. No.... I was talking to her since she seems to be actually following the diet correctly....

I am doing it and I love it so I am not a hater BUT Your 30 carbs a day should NOT come from soda and sausages..... That is NOT low carb and it's people like that who give low carb a bad name.... Of COURSE he has no energy... He is drinking empty carbs....

That's where the problem lies..... People don't truly educate themselves about low carb and think they are following some plan and gorge on protein and then get kidney issues and blame it on the diet....... NO low carb diet says replace your cars with protein it says UP your protein which doesn't mean 5 pounds of meat a…

A few years ago I lost 89 pounds and I'm pretty sure all of that was in my boobs because I went from a large C to a VERY small A and from and XXL shirt to a S. Even down a shoe size and a ring size.. But only down 2 pants sizes... This time around there is more empty space in my C cup than actually breasts already and I'm…

I've been doing it and actually challenged myself to walk 100 miles this month... Don't know really how much it is helping because I do other exercises as well.. But I had someone tell me that they didn't think walking should be counted as an exercise..... Which rubbed me the wrong way because I started out almost 300…

2.4 today so that puts me at 35.7 now! Yay! I did it! Now I need to bust my butt and see if I can get anywhere near my personal goal of 100 miles this month!

That is awesome!! Way to go!

Yes! That will help a lot. Are you taking a multi vitamin also? That makes a big difference.

You are so inspirational! Congratulations on your recovery!

Thank you so much! And congratulations on your victories! I got so obsessed with the scale for so long that I didn't even realize I had accomplished so much. It's important I think to recognize all the things that change as opposed to just weight loss.

Those are all so great! I can't wait until I am single digit pants! I don't think I've been in them since about 5th or 6th grade.

Without being able to see your diary it will be hard for people to know how to help you because "eating properly" can mean a million different things....

I do low carb too and agree with what you said 100% But missed the party there the carbs he does get are from soda and drinks mostly...

Ohhh. Makes sense now... So you aren't actually following a low carb diet... Just eating fewer carbs.

He said he only eats small amounts of veggies every other day... So I agree it must be a LOT of protein.. But I'm curious as to how he is even getting to 30g carbs a day when he's not eating veggies...

I used to one cheat meal.. But ate very clean the rest of the day and didn't go overboard with the meal.. Just ate what I was craving in reasonable portions... But yes it can lead to doing it the next day and the next and the next .. Now that I am low carbing I don't eat cheat meals.

Exactly and I am also wondering where the carbs are coming from if he isn't eating veggies...

Our stories sound VERY similar... I stated at 298. But I am only at 258 currently. I started in 24s also :) and I've been working out 3-4 days a week or more and walking the other days. I had similar starting habits except I ate fast food every day... Sometimes 3 times a day. Blah! I was working 2 jobs and it was busy…

I make this all the time and I LOVE it! It's so good! Also my mom used to make chicken stir fry with lots of other veggies and a bunch of cabbage and cashews... It was so good!
