  • Please add me. Doing Keto because it is the only diet where I feel really good while doing it. My son is doing it with me, big help. My wife and daughter are serious carbovors which means temptations are always around. Also a big fan of intermittent fasting. Just finished a 3 day fast (only water, coffee, tea, green…

  • Eat a bit more protein. Eggs work the best for me to cut hunger. I keep hard-boiled eggs around for such an emergency. Wish I could indulge at a potato bar, that sounds great. I am such a carbaholic I would find it hard to stop. Good luck.

  • My wife is not much of a cook but is an excellent baker. She has been evolving from cookies to brownies to cakes and now is making these killer cheesecake brownies. I understand temptation.

  • WW was a mixed bag for me. Tried it three times, twice I lost weight, one time I didn't, always gained it back. I was traveling a lot for business, keeping the points was really a pain. Also I hated going to the meetings, only good thing was I was regularly keeping track of my weight. Now I use MFP and a have decent scale…

  • This is a great topic. Personally, I suffer knee and hip pain when exercising which makes me hate exercising even more. A couple of things I found helpful: This may seem counter intuitive but I suffer the least amount of pain during the day if I force myself to get up from my desk and walk around the office for a minute or…
