I'm not an excellent form swimmer by any means, but I think I burn a decent amount of calories while swimming. I wasn't terribly hungry either, and the water is cold for me. My husband tore three ligaments in his ankle/heel and swimming is the only exercise besides physio that he can do right now so I've been going with…

My husband is doing keto right now. He did it a few years ago and lost 50lbs in about 3 months. He eventually gained it all back when he quit smoking a year and a half ago. Now that he felt confident in not smoking he is back on keto and doing well. He tried just logging his food, and he was losing a bit, but he really…

I'm not sure if you were talking to me or somebody else. I didn't do keto. I just ate my daily allowance and weighed everything that went into my mouth. I walked every day and did/do weights occasionally when I'm not in a lot of pain. lost my first 25+lbs that way. Then I was diagnosed with celiac disease and when I…

Randi, there's a picture of a camera while you're posting. It's above the text box. You hit that and click where it says to choose a file. I hope that helps. And good for you, it can be hard to maintain.

Thanks. Right now I'm about 150. My husband thinks I'm the same but I can tell the way my clothes fit for sure. I also got accidentally contaminated about a week and a half ago and it causes a lot of inflammation and bloating. Last week I couldn't even fit into any pants I had because I looked pregnant. But that went…

My journey was a long one with slowly losing because I was breastfeeding and then having health issues. As you can tell from my hair. Starting was 187lbs and ending was between 135-137lbs. I'm 5'4" tall. Before: After:

I started at 187lbs when my son was 10 months old. I breastfed for years and wanted to lose slowly so my journey was pretty long. I'm happy with it though because I feel I keep it off easier. I lost the first 25lbs in a couple years I think. Then a few years ago I was diagnosed with celiac disease and I lost another 10+…

Congrats, that's amazing! I have celiac disease, but before I was diagnosed I was grain free for a while because I get very painful inflammation in my joints (my hips, fingers, and shoulders/upper arms are the worst, it hurts just to lay down) from most grains. I have a sensitivity to gluten besides the celiac, along with…

You were one of my inspirations when I first started my journey! Thank you for your posts. You still look great!

Wow, you look amazing!

I am 5'4" and my highest weight (not including pregnancy because I was almost 200lbs) was 187lbs. That's where I started this time 4 years ago when my son was almost a year old (he's now almost 5). I am now around 140lbs. I lost weight pretty slowly. I was breastfeeding and ate around 2000 calories and didn't subtract my…

What a huge difference even in your face!

Wow, great job! And you're right about making small changes.

You look amazing! I eat more during ovulation as well. I get ravenous lol. But I burn slightly more at that time because I always still lose.

Way to go! Isn't it the best feeling?!

Love this thread! Haven't lifted in a while though. Finally got back to it after strengthening my hips and getting some inflammation down from my hips and neck. Then moved my weights to have a bit more room and injured my rotator cuff. But I still love to see everyone's progress!

Great job! But I really wanted to wish you well and say I hope you're feeling better.

I'm very sorry for your loss. You're progress though is amazing.

You look amazing!

I lost at least 30lbs within a couple months of having my son, but then my supply was low. Once I started taking domperidone I gained 25lbs back! I found it really hard to lose weight while breastfeeding because I was so hungry. But for me, knowing my baby was getting the best and I had the rest of my life to diet helped.…

I love this thread! I make herbal Pet Remedies and although I make a joint care product that works I always tell owners of overweight dogs they need to lose the weight. It's proven that a leaner dog lives longer. Good for those of you that are helping your pet by keeping their weight down!

Thanks! And great job, you look amazing!

Wow, amazing! How long between those days? Do you mind telling me what app you are using that tracks your lifts?

I have celiac disease and I have to be careful that nothing even gets contaminated. I used to eat mostly paleo like, but after finding out my corn allergy is much worse than it is I'm avoiding a ton of food right now. I have some paleo and Keto recipes on my app. I'm not sure how to share them. Maybe just send you the…

Not right now, but hopefully soon!

It's hopefully not a long term thing. Just until I figure out exactly what I can't eat because like I said corn has contaminated most foods. And the 20g is about the lowest, today I had 44g. I saw a dietician whom was no help. The nutritionist I've been seeing has helped much more.

I average about 1,000-1500 a day depending on the day. I can get my calories up there because I make things line banana ice cream (which is just bananas, cashew butter, and raw cacao) and coconut yogurt. I can eat nuts but I have to be careful and only have certain brands that are safe. Honestly corn has really…

That's awesome! Do you notice a difference in your RA? I've heard it can help.

No, it's actually corn that's the one I've recently found out about. I have celiac disease as well, plus a ton of food intolerances. I knew corn, gluten, buckwheat, and oats caused me very bad inflammation in my hips, fingers, and knees (could be agates causing my "fibromyalgia" neck pain as well because I think my doctor…
