Sounds great on the variety idea! I love it. Then you can feel good about still being on plan-but having something different. I am trying to weigh grams of protein(for osteoporosis) and total carbs. The rest I weigh just to see what I am doing, but not to keep in a calorie limit. I am new at this, probably around 75 days.

Happy May! I am excited to be here! May 1 – 2nd- 159.6 May 8 – May 15 – May 22 – May 29 -

I am new to keto. I am excited as my weight loss plateaued, prior, and I have been floundering around trying to figure out what was wrong. Paleo or low carb were not working anymore. I am glad for this group!

You are doing great, too! I hear ya on the plateau! Let us keep going!

Excellent work! Good for you! Great going!

It can be done! I was 55 when I started. That is 3 years past menopause. I am now 61 and total down is 53 pounds! I wasn't always consistent. Life got stressful and I worked on maintaining during those times. It is not always just about calories in, calories out.

EXCELLENT TO HEAR!!!

No it wasn't sarcastic at all. It is once again refreshing to hear something nice.

Well that is a first for me to hear. Regrettably it probably won't be the last to hear this. People can be so jealous, too.

Yeah your Aunt has an issue with her sight. Unfriending sounds good....?

You are right. I am sorry to hear such rude things. I don't think anyone that has said these things would want to hear those things themselves. I am sure you have always been beautiful!!

Definitely should have been said differently. No luck about it.

I am sorry for the thoughtless things people have told you all on here!! Any pictures I can see, look fantastic!! I am learning hard that we don't have time on this earth to deal with these worthless petty things people can say. We have goals here. We have people to reach to be an example and to help. I listened to a great…

Isn't this one nice??

I am sure you still look great. You will do it!!

My old boss used to be on me every day. "Can you have this?" or You can't have that, right? or "do you eat a salad every day?"(better than a big Mac every day) I I no longer work there. That wasn't the only problem. I said I can have what I want, but some things aren't good for me. I once said said that I already had an…

Maybe try a good holistic Dr. before then, if possible to get another opinion, if you think and haven't done before. The one here has done a world of good here for my overall health. Also you may have heard of her before, but just in case not, Dr. Amy Myers, online, too, talks a lot about the thyroid connection. She has a…

UGH. Can you tell her? Might get another round however if you do, but it might feel better, idk.

Yeah you are sick. Sick of hearing that that! Sorry.

Glad you didn't mind. I wouldn't want to hear the details. EXCELLENT JOB!!

That is a nice way of doing it and you are right on not doing the other. Sorry! A simple, "You look great or your outfit is nice, with a smile" would be nice. And not broadcasting it. I guess I think of it more being a counselor, too.

LOL

Hello! I have lost about 53 lbs. It took some time. I have the self-sabotaging. I do go up and down in weight, but overall I am going down. It is a journey. There are many reasons we could be self sabotaging. I do have binge spells. There are physical reasons for it, too. You do get hungrier when under stress and when worn…

A big congratulations!!!!

aww. Someone always has to say something negative. This type of person needs to say positive things. Nothing to do with us!

Thank you. I am 147 lbs on a good day which is the upper end of my BMI. I do have a tummy. I don't think I am tiny at about 5'4' and that weight. What you say is encouraging to hear. I do want to lose more. LOL. Maybe when some people look at me I will vanish right before their eyes. However I live with myself. I just want…

Thank you for your comments! I am getting there with my wrists, too. The rewards of everything else I am sure are worth it for us!

I went swimming this weekend and felt good about wearing a suit in public, at a water Zumba class, for the first time in many many many years. The person I was with was not as comfortable with themselves. I had to hear more than I wanted to hear. She commented on how tiny I was a number of times. Once she even said I…

Yesterday I went swimming and felt good about wearing a suit in public, at a water Zumba class, for the first time in many many many years.

It is usually the cortisol from stress that increases the stomach.
