I feel this pain. I went from 245 to 152. Then a few years, adopting a kid, getting a divorce, and moving halfway across the country later I was at 212. Down to 185 now and still going.

I had to get jeans out of storage because the ones I was wearing were too big. I also had to buy new bras.

Goodwill and other thrift stores, plus I bought a lot of leggings and jeggings when I started since they are more forgiving of my size changing.

That's interesting as my hair is fuller and growing faster since starting keto and my periods (which have always been crazy and horrible because I have PCOS) are getting better. There is a big difference between the fad version and doing it right. Too many people try to drop the carbs and still also keep fat really low,…

I so want this recipe! I'm the fudge maker at holiday time for my family and I'd love to be able to make some that I can have a bit of and not feel bad about giving to my son. As for using the honey and being low carb, part of the point of this woe is that nutrition is supposed to be individual. Every human is different.…

When you want to correct the cashier who tells you that carbs are needed for weight lifting and building muscle. When you ask the guy at the grocery store if they have larger packages of bacon (they did, yay!). When you find yourself arguing with labels while shopping (you can't be a protein bar if you have more carbs than…

PCOS, insulin resistant, and LCHF since Jan. 4. It's been a struggle realizing that I really can eat fats because we're taught they are bad, but I've lost over 15 pounds since I started, so that's proof enough for me.

You're doing great. If it works for you then it works for you. I do not understand people that get mad about what others eat. If they try to convince me to eat what they think I should eat then yeah, but what do I care what they eat, their food is their business, my food is my business. The only time someone else should…

Yep, I've even logged starburst before. If it goes in my tummy it should go in my log.

Ok, I just stirred frequently while drinking. I might try it with a blender and see. I'm not really a froth person though. Thanks for the answers.

I'm just starting this, though I haven't used a blender, just added the butter and oil to my cup before adding the hot coffee. I started with butter yesterday and added coconut oil today. I wanted to go slow to avoid any potential tummy trouble. I also left in the hwc that I was already using in my coffee. I'm curious…

Ok, that's just confusing

I try to make my goals about what I'm actually doing instead of the scale or my size. I use goals like getting a certain amount of steps, exercising a certain amount of days a week, keeping under my calorie/carb limits, drinking enough water. If you consistently meet those kinds of goals, the scale dropping will happen,…

It's also a miracle if you're having gall bladder issues. It's quite tasty in salad dressing or sprinkled lightly on some types of fish as well. It's great for cleaning the kitchen and will completely remove fish smell from a cutting board.

Hi everyone. I am an ese teacher currently teaching in a kindergarten inclusion room. I also have to drive 40 minutes one way to and from work and am a single mom to a special needs son who doesn't eat much other than pizza, tacos, and steak. Plus he goes to a different school than I teach at so transportation is lots of…

I am in love with my fitbit, but also have no clue how you add friends.

I've still got more than 60 to go, started with more than 100 to lose.

1978, anyone feel free to add me, motivation is a good thing

38 here, determined to be healthy before hitting that next range.

I love zumba and now cize too. Sometimes my workout is just loud music and dancing. I also very actively play in the park with my son. I don't sit and watch, I play tag and climb and swing with him. I used to take martial arts classes, but no time right now.

I recently got it, don't know yet how it'll effect the weight loss, but it's definitely fun and feels like I got a good workout when it's over.

Use a number *

I don't really have a goal weight. When I use a under it's midway of the healthy weights on the bmi scale. My real goal though is size 4 jeans, nobody sees my scale, everyone sees my booty, lol.

I'm under 100 left to lose now, but my high weight was about 125 pounds over my goal. Feel free to add me.

I haven't been doing it long enough to know if it's helping the weight loss, but it's fun and I certainly get my sweat on.

I just got one too. I'm in love with it.

I drink a lot of flavored sparkling waters. I also drink diet mountain dew and coffee with splenda.

Exercise helps me lose weight in 2 ways. It helps create a deficit and it also has a psychological effect that I will be less likely to go off plan because I don't want to waste my hard work. Plus, it's just plain good for you. As for reading back the calories you will find people telling you both ways, so just figure out…
