I am with the others. You should enjoy your fish and chips. Maybe just eat half. Or get fish and not chips. Ask for carrots/celery sticks as a side if they have it. Or bring your own veggies to have with your meal. And do a little extra exercise. You CAN enjoy a night out and not derail your diet. 1 meal isn't going to…

I also do LCHF and love it! Send me a friend request! :)

Yummy thanks!

I am going to give them a try with my sweetener mix(erythritol & stevia-powdered). Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing. Were the ones with half the sugar still really good?

Try adding veggies to the things you already like. Broccoli in your mac n cheese. Cut veggies up into small pieces. Cauliflower is an awesome veggie! Toss it with oil, salt, pepper and roast it in the oven on 400 until it starts to brown. You can toss it up with hot sauce(or any sauce) to make fake "wings". Also, it can be…

You look amazing and happy! Way to go! :)

Great tips! Thanks!!

Baking instead of frying. Less salt(if that's a problem). Skip the butter/oil or cut the amount in half, it usually doesn't affect the taste much. As for gravy, try pureed cooked veggies or beans as most or part of it. Works great as a thickener in soups or stews too. And HIDDEN VEGGIES!!! Which is always a good thing! :)

Bump for later.

Don't give up sweetie! Sometimes, photos like this give you motivation and remind you of why you are on this journey. I know its hard to see and especially as you have been working to change yourself. We all look in the mirror and see something different than everyone else or "the camera" sees. I couldn't believe my eyes…

Way to go girl, you look fantastic! Love the LBD! :)

I know what you mean. I'm kinda that same way. Maybe write her a letter and give it to her. Sometimes that is easier than actually saying it. Just be honest and tell her you'd love her support. I didn't deal with negativity from my family, but I have from friends and coworkers. It took me quite a while to grow a thick skin…

You could just tell her that you are working really hard to make a positive change in your life and you would appreciate if she skipped the negative comments, even when joking, becasue it makes you feel bad.

YUM! Can't wait to make this! Thanks!

Thanks!

I used it for a while. A long time ago. But, you will not poop your pants...unless you eat too much fat. Then you will get greasy, oily, poop leakage. Or if you fart...oil. My friend called them "squirty pills" and rightly so. When you do poop, expect to see oil coming out.

I have been curious about this. I did a cauliflower base broccoli soup and it came out great! Adding nutritional yeast will give a nice cheesy flavor. You can find it at health food stores.

I make my own marinara. Fresh or canned tomoates, chopped to your liking Tomato paste Fresh or dried basil, oregano(or italian seasoning) Garlic Chopped onion Olive oil Red wine(optional) Sautee onion in a bit of oil until soft and translusant(5-7 min) Add tomato paste. Cook while stirring about 5 min. Add a splash of red…

How about get a whole grain pizza dough from Publix(if you have them near you) or I bet Whole Foods has a ready made pizza dough. Then make your own pizzas. You can make yours super thin crust and put healthy toppings and just a little or no cheese. Your husband can top his any way he likes. Make them just big enough for…

I personally hate it too! Rolled oats that is. Steel cut oats, I love! I don't use sugar though, I like them a bit under cooked and then I put salt pepper and a little butter on them. More like grits or brown rice.

I would up your strenght training and back off of some of the cardio and not worry about the last 10 pounds, but more shaping from weight training. You might not drop another pound, but you will probably look like you lost 10. Good luck! :)

Yep, and I've done the same. No big deal. If I'm not interacting with someone I delete them. I like to keep my friends list very small so that I can actually support the people on it. If someone is inactive or unsupportive, why bother having them there?

I drink Natural Calm almost every day(sometimes I forget). Its very gental-no cramps or anything like a laxative, but has a kinda laxative effect. When I take it I go the next morning wtihout fail. You can get it at Whole Foods or most stores. I like the raspberry flavor. It mixes into hot or cold water very easily and…

I didn't know it ever left the menu. I do know that they used to have a grilled chicken one and it was awesome for my low carb diet...now they only do it fried. I think here in Atlanta, its a regular menu item.

Great advice. Bump for when I am having a hard time. Thanks! :)

I can totally relate. I felt this way for most of my life and even after losing 100 pounds, I still feel this way sometimes. I think it has less to do with weight and more to do with my feelings about myself. I keep losing weight, then binging and gaining a lot back. Its a cycle that I've been going through for a few years…

You look AMAZING!!! Congrats on your new life! You are deserving of everything you want! :)
