I've been doing keto for 8 months. I've lost 26 lbs ! Trying to lose those last 10 now!

I am not a moderator, but an abstainer, so when I need to kill the sugar addiction, I have to stop eating sugar cold turkey. I literally cannot eat any at all. Good luck!

Definitely start working on a base and don't miss training runs when it's time, esp the long runs! They are so important. I trained for my first marathon during my wedding planning and missed quite a few runs. in the end, I was not very prepared, and had a pretty horrible time. have fun! running is so addicting!

I will send you a request! I am going to be 30 in a few months. I have a 2 year old daughter and I'm trying to get back into running and lose these last 10 lbs which feel like they will NEVER fall off!

Only made 1 of 3 yesterday, so today I'm going to simplify. 1) drink 8 cups of water 2) come in under calories

Feel free to add me.. I'm trying to get motivated too and could use some friends! :)

I'm on my last 10-12.. SW: 174 CW: 157 GW: 145 29 year old Female.

the baby weight is tough. I am 2 YEARS PP, and just finally got back to where I was before I had DD, and I didn't breastfeed. For me personally, I have to stay away from ALL grains, sugar, and processed foods, and I really have to watch my calories. It's tough! Possibly you aren't eating ENOUGH? Sometimes when I'm…

I would love some more friends! My feed is dead these days!!

Just found this thread! Great idea! Goal1: Eat Paleo (no grains, dairy, soy, processed sugar) Goal2: Get at least 30 minutes of exercise Goal3: Come in at, or under my calories!

In need of more active friends! I'll shoot you a request!

Good morning! Not sure if I can still post here, but I've decided to start with 16:8 for awhile to get my body back in the swing of things. I woke UP hungry this morning and decided I better eat around noon since I'm not used to doing this! Hope everyone has a great day.

Thanks! I think I'm going to start back by doing 1 fast this week and seeing how it goes. I used to do Monday and Thursday, and would like to keep it that way since I normally do not do anything on these days. Think i'll give it a shot. It'll just be hard to not have my morning coffee :(

Thank you!!! I did do 5:2 for awhile and I really liked it. I always lost consistently, but I worried that it was causing more issues, so I stopped. Now I realize how it was pretty easy to do.

hello again!!!! I've been gone for some time, but I'm thinking about doing 5:2 again! I enjoyed talking to everyone here so much! Going on vacation in April, and I'd love to lose these last 15ish lbs! I know that I probably won't lose it all by then, but I consistently lost when I IFed, so I'm probably going to start again!

I've been thinking about start again too, I just can't bring myself to do it. I feel like it'll screw my thyroid issues.

My hair loss INCREASED ten fold when I went on Synthroid. My doc says it's from low iron/vitamin D and having hashi's, but I'm telling you, it's medicine related. It was not like this before I started. I'm thinking about switching to Tirosint.

Everyone is doing great. On day12 of my whole30 (which I've decided I'm extending to 100 days.) Love seeing how awesome you guys and gals are doing!

3 lbs to go! Awesome! I am on day4 of whole30. No fasting, or weighing. Just clean eating. I really like everyone where so I hope I'm not overstepping by still keeping up with everyone!

awesome!!!

@flumi_f have you lived there your whole life? I have always wanted to visit Germany. I took several years of it in school, and almost got to on an exchange program in high school, but then 9/11 happened and we weren't allowed on planes.

Morning! Fast day #1 here. Doing okay. Had a crappy weekend foodwise, but I did track everything, which I never do! I am doing a whole30 starting on Friday. I won't be fasting during this time, as the program really discourages it. I want to do it right, if I'm going to do it. I hope you guys don't mind if I still check in…

Karen- I still count 700, but not much over!

Morning! Lost 1.4 this week. Thank GOODNESS! now I'm only 0.4 above my lowest this year. I need to stay on top of calorie counting this weekend. This is when I usually REEALLY fail.

I'm a 5:2'er. Been doing it since the beginning of this year. I've lost 11 lbs. I've not exercised in that time, so for me, it's working. I obviously want to exercise more but with a full time job, 10 month old baby, and cold weather, it wasn't happening. I love 5:2 and can really see this being something I can stick to…

You guys are all doing wonderful! 2nd FD for me today. I am ALREADY hungry, and a LONG way from eating. I've already had 12oz of tea, and now I'm drinking some water. Scale is trending down as of today, but I'm ONLY logging on Friday's. Really hoping that it goes down tomorrow and not up, or stays the same. Right now I'm…

I just found out about my issues is Feb. So I have no idea if I'm properly medicated yet. I don't feel any better than I did when I started the meds. I know that much!

Thank you so much for the motivation everyone! You guys are awesome. I've been SUPER tracking this week. I've tracked everything that has went into my mouth and I've lowered my calories, so we will see what the scale says this week. I am on antibiotics for a UTI. I hope this doesn't affect anything! I also can't have…

I have Hypo/Hashimoto's so I know the struggle. Everyone else loses so much and I only register tiny losses every week. Now, I'm stuck and can't lose at all. It's a bummer having thyroid issues.

Oh Flumi.. The Rhine! I am so jealous! That will be beautiful! I'm just getting more and more bummed. Not losing weight, so then it spirals, and I just eat more crappy food. As bad as it sounds, I blame some of this on my husband. He just does not want to eat good food. Every weekend he wants to eat out every meal, and…
