Going to buy some almond flour soon! Is there a recipe thread anywhere? I looked but nothing popped up.

Me too, could use a few more friends. I'm pretty faithful about logging but hardly ever log my exercise. I love to see your diaries and get new ideas and I promise I am not critical. ;-)

I have told my husband for many years to please not get me chocolates on Valentine's Day, but he always ignores the request, I think in an effort to not make a mistake and offend me. So I give him points for being super loving. But this year, I'm prediabetic and really really watching the sugars, so he said he will finally…

Thank you all for the input. I have always felt like sugars made my heart race a little or at least speed up. I haven't noticed that with drinking diet coke. I am a little discouraged though as I had given that up, but alas, I am needing that afternoon "thing to look forward to" besides meat, veggies, etc. ;-) Appreciate…

Thank you for that perspective. I will just wait and see how things progress.

Yum! I've already eaten but you just made me hungry. ;-)

Love this thread! I'm usually in a hurry when I eat but trying that cauliflower crust for pizza tonight. Maybe it'll be pretty enough to photo. ;-)

Welcome! I'm new too and on day 9 of the low carb diet. I have to say, days 6 and 7 were a bit rough due to the keto phase, but I'm only experiencing that feeling a little in the afternoons now. Lots of good info here. I'm hoping this will help me lower my glucose numbers and be a life style change I can live with. Have a…

Do you mean adjusting down? I'm wondering about that.

We don't eat out a lot, so if we do, I just skip a meal that day to account for it. The thing that really shocked me was the creamer I put in my coffee (and how much of it I use). Still working on that!

Congratulations! As a fellow 42 year old, I'm curious as to what you did. ;-)

So far I have only had two comments, both from female family members, and I appreciated them very much. Reading all these thoughts though, I will think twice about complimenting anyone else in the future. My niece's comment started with, "Don't take this the wrong way, but you are looking much better." I didn't take it the…

I've had 3 c-sections. It goes down over time and with eating less, I think. I don't believe for me that the little pouch left there will ever be completely gone. Part of that is scar tissue which isn't going anywhere without being removed surgically.

I'm about your age and I've found that lowering my calories has been the only way, even lower than what MFP allows me, because I know that I'm not always perfectly accurate with my recording. That way it gives me a margin of error. I vary between 1200-1450 calories most days without exercise, and when I do exercise, I…

When my niece who I had not seen for a while said, "Don't take this the wrong way, but have you lost weight?" ;-)

Definitely see the waist and although you're not showing your face, that's where I usually see a change first. Great job!

Anyone can add me. I have 3 kiddos, the youngest is 4 and the oldest is almost 13. Also 2 miscarriages between the second and third. So pregnant every 2 years and now I'm ready to get serious. ;-)

The b&w is beautiful on you. Great job!

But to answer your question, no of course there's no point in yelling at the child. One of my son's friends is 9 and he carries an iphone to school every day. I don't know if he comes home to an empty house or what, but it's not my beeswax.

I have a 10-year-old daughter. Neither of us have an iphone or even a smartphone. I have thought on occasion it would be good for her to have a regular cell phone for special occasions, but I wouldn't want her to own one yet. I have a friend whose daughter started getting very unfriendly texts from a neighbor friend's dad,…

I will send you a request. I'm 39 and need to lose at least 30 if not 40. 3 kiddos ages 10 down to 18 months.

I am west coast but don't usually stay up till midnight...more like 10 or 11. But you can add me! ;-)

Looking great! I too am trying to lose baby weight, but my youngest is 18 months and I haven't been disciplined with my eating until recently. Your baby completely adorable and your dog is cute too!

Work hard, appreciate what you have, and don't wish away your youth. And don't be so hard on yourself!

Reading some of these responses about black, we have been going to weddings lately and there is LOTS of black. I think that rule is totally outdated and no one pays attention to it anymore. Same goes for the wedding party colors. Wear what you want!

Dress 4 I think looks best for a wedding.

I would love a mom friend as well! I'm 39 with 3 kids and also don't eat at the 1200 level. More around 1600-1700 most days. My diary is always open to my friends and I'm not perfect. My weight loss has been very up and down, so I'm still learning. Friend me if you like! ;-)

They're all very pretty on you. But, look at your smile in #3 (and even #4). You look like you feel like a million bucks. I'd go with that! ;-)

I wouldn't think anything...go for it!

Me too, a little moisture in the eyes reading your story. I love what your kids said. WTG!
