Roasted cauliflower with olive oil, cauliflower "rice" served with a lighter version of your favorite stroganoff or Chinese dish, cauliflower mashed potatoes, cauliflower pizza crust with a light sauce and cheese and vegetable toppings..

An elderly woman stopped me in a clothing store, probably near my largest weight actually and said, "You know, you are so beautiful. I just had to stop and tell you. You could be a model."

My sister pointed to the tv screen one night when one of those newer diet commercials came on with the cute overweight girl working out and said, "You could do commercials like that. There are lots of plus size models now." My mom snorts and said, "There's a difference between being big and pretty and just fat."

323.2 to 265. I'm down a few more lbs now even. Progress over about 5.5 months.

323.2 to 263.2 lbs. in about 5 and a half months. I'm 5'10 or so.

I have hypothyroidism, PCOS and insulin resistance. None of these things stand in the way of me losing weight in the SLIGHTEST and I'm sure the story will be the same for you. Just eat right and move. There is no secret to it. Feel free to add me.

About 4 months.

I've been doing keto for 5.5 months (started January 20th of this year) and it's going great. I've lost 60 lbs. in that time, improved a lot of my blood work, gone off some medication, and I have people ask about my skin/hair routine all the time because my skin and hair look so much better and healthier. Feel free to add…

You eventually start to learn what kind of entries are reliable and which aren't. Comparing that against nutrition info available on packaging is one way to help alleviate that issue as well as picking good measurement tools (mass is ALWAYS superior to volume, i.e. 30g as opposed to 1/4 c.) Using a food scale cuts down on…

I started at 323 and am down to 263 lbs. I have a little loose skin, nothing hanging, just softer and looser. I'm sure I will get more as time goes on. You already have hanging skin. It's filled with tons and tons of fat. I'm sorry that sounds blunt, but I remind myself of this constantly. I am the kind of person who needs…

Feel free to add me. I've been doing keto for about 5.5 months and I'm hoping to hit 60 lbs down today :)

My SO and I have been together for 3.5 years now. We met on OkCupid after I had a bad car accident that killed my former fiance and I was honestly just looking for some kind of human connection. We started as friends, he wooed me with hot chocolate and fancy beer at the movie theaters and I kind of fell for him over time.…

All diet, no exercise. I occasionally go on a bike ride or something, but 95% of my day is sitting or laying down, which I know isn't good for me, but it's the honest truth!

I started with 153.2 to lose and now only have 95.8 to go which is so much more achievable. Ever ounce counts towards the goal and before you know it you'll be a 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, or a 1/3 done already! Just think of it as paper towels coming off the roll. You don't notice much at first, but it really adds up! Feel free to…

I eat a lot of meat! Boiled beef in broth, baked chicken breasts with butter and cheese, keto friendly pizza, gumbos made with sausages and shrimp, etc. It's summer so we do a lot of brats, burgers and steaks on the grill, too. I make a lot of stuff from I Breathe, I'm Hungry and reddit.com/r/ketorecipes when I feel the…

It's all about what works for you. Some people, like myself, picked lower carb because we find it decreases our cravings for our "trigger foods" and also keeps us fuller longer. With our plan you eat less volume of food (because fat has more cal per gram than protein or carbs) but we find it more satisfying. You can lose…

Congrats on your loss so far! I so identify with that feeling of blah from all the medical stuff, but awesome job on turning stuff around. I hope to see lots of updates from you, too!

Thank you for both compliments! I've tried to rid myself of the all or nothing attitude and realize that this is life, forever. I can't just kill myself for 18 months and lose all the weight with the intention of gorging myself once I get there. That's not sustainable! A lot of people get that way on lower carb diets…

I started at 323.2 and am now at 269.6 lbs, so about 53 lbs in 5 months. I am doing a ketogenic diet for my PCOS and insulin resistance and eating about 1,200-1,600 cal a day with a cheat once a week or every other week.

I am on keto and I also count calories, everything that goes in my mouth. I know myself. I know that some people do great on keto without counting calories. I am not one of those people. I can tear through three full meals of keto a day and then top it off with another 3,500 cal just in snacks...before dessert. Keto plus…

I'll be honest. I think I was at a point in my life where I was so self-conscious I was genuinely unable to smile in pictures. That has improved but now all my progress pictures feel like I am forcing myself to look like I'm taking a freaking mug shot!

Face progress from 325 or so down to 280, if the goofy face is killin' ya.

I know low carb might not be popular in the general forums, but for me it is the only thing that has worked. Once you get adapted to eating that way, it actually gets hard to force yourself to eat your daily allowance. If you're against low carbing it, I've noticed that distraction techniques work a lot, too (ie painting…

Yeah, I've got some less goofy ones I can put up later XD As for having the man do it as well? YES! A thousand times YES! We don't keep crap in the house and we keep each other honest and on track. Going out is really easy, too, since we never fight over whether we are going to go to someplace with a healthy menu or not!

I've started to do walking with my dog and bike riding at a moderate pace (really pushing myself to stay at the same rate up hills). At the 50 lb point I realized that if I wanted to have the same rate of loss through the summer I needed to add in some movement :)

I'm at 50 lbs in 5 months. Cheating will really set you back. I have had a few cheats that stalled me for a week or so and it's easy to feel demotivated when you are not moving in the right direction. I also don't exercise, but pulled my bike out of storage this week so I can keep up with this rate of loss. I have been…
