  • keto start 11/25/17 SW 254 12/31 241.2 Keto has helped me keep my cravings in control. Before starting I would buy something, eat some then go back later and eat the rest. Now I can easily say no to something I would previously binge on. I also got used to drinking my coffee black. I tried heavy cream but that was not for…

  • sw 254 11/24 12/3 247.4 12/10 242 12/17 244.4 I was disappointed that my weight was creeping back up but I figured it could be my monthly bloat. I did another 3d body scan for measuring yesterday 12/20. I compared it to my 11/24 scan and I lost total of 8.9 inches. I will be doing the 3d body scan monthly so I can get an…
  • I started keto on 11/25/17 after getting a dexa scan which showed I added 12 lbs of body fat in a year. I had been trying to eat better but was still packing in the carbs. That was my ah ha moment. The lady that did my scan recommended keto and gave me some references to get started and I started keto the next day. I have…
  • I say I'm not eating processed crap anymore and leave it at that.
  • Pasta. I could eat bowl after bowl of pasta. I got brown rice pasta for my kids to eat. They like it just fine. I think it's gross so that helps me to not eat it. It just easier for me to cut it out of my diet rather than just eat a small portion which has the potential for me to just give in and binge on.
  • I'm down almost 13lbs, only 99 to go. i just started getting serious about tracking and weighing my food. i'm done being way too heavy. for me to lose weight and keep it off, i need to be really mindful about what i eat.
  • Did you just reach your goal or have you been at goal and been maintaining? If you just reached goal, keeping track during maintenance can help to keep gain in check.
  • I'm 5"5' and even when I was 135 lbs with abs showing and defined muscles all over my body, I still had big thighs. That's just the way I'm shaped. I've always had wide hips, big thighs, and a big butt, even before having kids.
  • I have the Taylor 7506 Glass Platform Lithium Electronic Bathroom Scale. i usually weigh a 5lb weight on it first then step on it. mine is pretty consistent with the weight staying the same if i step on and off a couple of times.
  • i've never tried IUD was worried about side effects and uterus perforation. after my 2nd kid i went on nuvaring. i gained 15 lbs in about 2 weeks, was an emotional mess, and was borderline suicidal. i took that out and felt much better in a couple days and lost the weight i gained in about a week. I actually realized then…
  • i started at 257 in nov, but got serious about tracking and weighing on march 15th at 248.4.
  • I have a 5, 3 and 9 month old and extra weight from each pregnancy. 60lbs to get down to 1st baby pre pregnancy weight and another 40lbs on top of that. It's going to take me awhile but I just have to stay on track to get there.
  • I have 42DD and i use 2 different sports bras i got them both at target. the first one is adjustable in the back band and has individual cups to hold each boob and the second on top compresses the first. that's the only way i can run or do high impact exercise like jumping jacks etc. edited to add I've tried more expensive…
  • i do 1 tbsp (weighed in grams) of peanut butter on a slice of bread with coffee and milk for breakfast. i started eating it during my last pregnancy because i had gestational diabetes, which thankfully went away after i had my daughter.
  • keep saying to those around you, "I'm not eating that" and have clear motivations for why you want to lose weight. My husband has been unhelpful with food at times. For example, he stopped to get himself cupcakes at a bakery and (i think trying to be nice) got me one that i really like and that he doesn't like, so i…
  • 31 SW: 257lbs CW: 245.4lbs GW: 145lbs Height: 5' 5" weighing and tracking all my food, and doing kettlebells 3x a week (i have been properly trained in using them). i'm going to start a running challenge sunday with friends and will be running 5 total miles a week. the exercise along with food tracking and having a calorie…
  • Yeah that's BS. I started really tracking what I ate last Monday and today I'm down 3lbs. Granted I just started and I'm in the 240s, so the first couple weeks I'm gonna have bigger losses. I think detoxing is a gimmick and just a way for companies to make money off of people trying to lose weight.
  • i'm 5'5" and i'm 247lbs right now after 3 kids in 5 years. i'm 31, i'll be 32 in june. i think 145-150 is good final goal weight for me. I was 135lbs after my last military deployment (i was 23) but that is so unrealistic to even get to now and i looked too skinny almost sickly at that weight. right now i'm just trying not…
  • i have to say if he's making you feel bad like this now when you are bf/gf, imagine what he will say if you guys got married and you got pregnant later down the road? there are plenty of men out there. After having two kids in two years i'm still struggling to lose the baby weight i gain during my first pregnancy. my…
  • I'm a binge eater too although not as severe as my binges would only last a trip to the drive thru. i've learned that for me i cant buy and i don't buy foods that i binge with. i keep them out of my house. i still struggle with wanting to binge daily but with only healthy foods around my house its less tempting, i don't…
  • learn to like eating veggies, you can eat 3-4 cups of broccoli and cauliflower and use about 100 or so calories depending upon what else you put on it. put a little salad dressing on top or some shredded cheese for flavor and NOT a bunch of melted cheese sauce. for me, most processed foods leave me feeling super hungry and…
  • i'm still struggling to lose weight that i gained from my first pregnancy in 2009. i've only recently realized that i'm a binge eater and i do it to feel better which after i do it i feel horrible. what helps for me is keeping anything i can binge on out of the house. I do not buy it. my kids are almost 2 and almost 4 so i…
  • i weigh daily in the morning after going to the bathroom. it helps me stay on track with my eating, i have stopped for weeks at a time and during that time i usually added 5-10 lbs. for me to lose weight i really need to be focused on my diet and weighing daily helps me do that. when i had a personal trainer she said…
  • my coffee addition was starbucks breakfast blend k-cup with 4 tbsp of regular (140 cal) or fat free (100 cal) coffeemate liquid french vanilla creamer. then starbucks came out with their veranda blonde roast which i tried and for me is actually a drinkable black coffee. so now i don't use anything in it which is surprising…
  • a digital scale would be worth getting especially if you are serious about losing weight and getting healthy. i got a Taylor 7506 Glass Lithium Digital Scale 25$ on amazon. it goes by .2 lbs so way more accurate and digital is just more accurate. i had a non digital food scale i used to save money and i would weigh…
  • Rilzy, look into kettlebell training. my personal trainer started incorporating kettlebell training into our sessions and i think that is what helped to soften my abdomen and lose some fat there. it is both cardio and strength training in one. but you have to find a certified instructor to teach you proper techniques…
  • I think diet is very important such as lean meats, fruits, veggies and healthy whole grains, oatmeal, brown rice etc. cardio and strength training is important too. i'm pear shaped but have excess stomach fat/skin from 2 pregnancies in two years. my younger son is 21 months old and i'm still struggling to lose weight. in…
