That is awesome! My doctor gave me the option of metformin and I took it for a month just to see if it made a big difference and it really didn't. So I just quit taking it. I have definitely noticed that pairing helps when I eat carbs.

I don't think that grains are bad, but I do feel more energized when I eat less of them. I also feel like I just can't lose weight when eating higher carbs. My doctor has said that I am sliiiightly insulin resistant. She prescribed a small dosage of metformin that she said was optional. So this may be the reason for my…

I think that waking up earlier just helps me get my mind settled before work. I hate rushing around in the morning and find myself to be much more at peace if I've had a good hour to wake up, drink my coffee and read. I always push the limits... wanting to stay up a littlllllle later and sleep a little later and eventually…

Rant: I was feeling like a Karen today while getting my oil changed because they were taking way longer than they said it would and I was on my lunch break. So I was shooting impatient eye daggers, when another customer came in and was unbelievably nice and patient. "No worries, brother, take your time. No sense getting…

Here is my rant of the day: I take online classes and one professor is killing me because she has set up an assignment wrong, but will not look into her mistake and fix it. The 10 point assignments that she has set up has 300-400 questions and take 4+ hours to complete. We have 2 a week in addition to reading, listening to…

If I hit 100 grams of protein, I feel like I'm the epitome of health.

Yup! And twice I have had my hair fall out because I got highlights-- and my hair was virgin hair... not damaged at all. The first time was in middle school and it was my front bangs that grew back like a mowhawk! :D Then transitioned into awkwardly short bangs. So brutal! :D :D :D

My new rant: Hair dressers who get really self-righteous about the fact that they can are the only trained professionals who can do hair. If I want to cut my hair and it isn't 100% perfect, I can do that because it's my hair! Don't treat me like I just performed brain surgery on myself. I grew up in the late 90's/ early…

If you feel really awful out of nowhere, check your electrolytes and make sure you are getting everything you need. Keto flu is really just dehydration and low electrolytes and you have to be super diligent about getting them in. Avocado, dark leafy greens, salt (yes salt), mushrooms. If I am not eating much of those one…

Hi Amy! I've definitely been there. My advice is to look at where you are, accept it, forgive yourself, and move forward with your goals. Celebrate every pound that you lose as if it were your first time losing it. I say that as someone who has often gotten tangled in disappointment feeling guilty for my failure and…

Laughing because your husband and mom are my boyfriend rolled into one! He is always talking about how his metabolism slowed within the last 2 years. Meanwhile, I've never seen someone put away so much food in one sitting. But he's always talking about how much he used to be able to eat, and I think... how could it…

This is one of those things I rant about... but in reverse. When a thinner person who has never really had a weight problem uses the 10lbs they lost as an example on how I should lose 100lbs... I just sit there with a fake smile. MOST of the time, I know more than that person because I HAVE had to struggle through this for…

Hiiiii YAHHHH! My BF and I binged this last week and we have pretended to be Ninjas all week.

Already herreeeeee. :'(

I've been looking forward to today all week because on holiday weekends, my boss always sends us home at noon. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a meeting invite from 2-4pm for today.

I was JUST ranting about this the other day. Especially if I have to wait for them to do all this. Like.. you have to back out of something either way... why not just pull forward this time and then back out when you leave? Stop making me wait 100 years for you to get yourself situated.

Sorry if you do this.. but: When people's "before" pictures are them 9 months pregnant. Like.. coool... but I'm not super inspired that you are down 15lbs in one month after HAVING A BABY.

I recently changed up my eating to include more fats and proteins and it made a world of difference for me. I didn't realize how hungry I was feeling all the time. Now, I am eating the same amount of calories, but feel really satiated. I reallllly didn't want to make the change (because I love carbs! lol)... but now that I…

Also.. I found this helpful. Often, binges happen because we are trying so hard to restrict that we feel deprived and obsessed with food.

I was struggling with binge eating earlier this year due to stress with the Covid stuff. I kept trying to reign it in, but I seriously felt out of control. I reached out to a friend and asked her to help hold me accountable each day-- especially after work. So we made a plan that I would Marco Polo her each night to tell…

Move over Hugh! Satin Robe, here I come!

So true. At events, I often have to remind myself that I am not there for the food. I am there because I value people-- I can eat anytime.

Bought the BIGGEST steak last night before I knew I got the raise lol! I still have half left, so I'm definitely going to be eating that tonight. But it was already in my plan lol!

Love these suggestions! They are super helpful because I'm such a happy eater... when I feel excited I eat. Maybe because in the moment, I am feeling so optimistic that I'm not thinking about fitness goals. I'll definitely be putting more in savings each month but maybe I'll splurge and buy something this weekend along…

I think also that people comment on my stuff so much because I tend to be so open. Weight loss weighs on my mind a lot, and when something is working... I get really excited and talk about it. So I think people feel like they can comment on it all the time, because I probably comment on it all the time.

I think when it was people I didn't see that often, I didn't care what everyone was thinking. But now I have a boyfriend who has never had a weight problem, and sometimes we have some tension because his advice is often misguided from things he has heard or read. When I am not getting the results I want and I complain…

Everytime I run across your profile pic on here, I crave these pancakes. I want this whole stack of pancakes with pecan syrup and a pile of whipped butter.

We must have the same personality type!
