I'm doing Keto.. what are your carb/calorie/fat ratios??

Thanks everyone...that's one item I wont' be wasting my money on.

Just keep going and remind yourself that even if the scale doens't come down, perhaps your cholesterol did? Or your glucose levels? Or even if you measure yourself. It's about being healthy too. Now you remind me of this when I feel the same way. :laugh:

It seems to me that alot of people forget from where they came. SOrry to hear it.

It does take some getting use to. I just don't want to use Splenda or Equal.

What i've been doing is eating 1/2 of my exercise calories. I wouldn't eat them all anyway..that defeats the purpose of exercisng WHILE trying to lose weight. it's a good thing to know when I am maintaning. Thank you all...i'm as confused as ever. :laugh: :drinker:

Truvia is going to say that theirs is better...that's to be expected. As for only one brand of Stevia being approved by the FDA..that doesn't shock me. Stevia is approved as an herbal supplement because the creators/makers of Stevia aren't paying someone off at the FDA. LOL Again, I'll that Stevia in any form is better…

Thank you for all the suggestions...Yes, I'll open up my daily food diary. I am good at staying under the calories for the day but i'm noticing that i'm low on protein and high in fat and other bad stuff. SO for me, even though i'm losing weight, I want to make sure that i'm eating healthy. I'm nursing my 4 month old…

I'm starting at 220 and that is the heaviest i've ever been...I know how heavy I am, which is why i'm here. I need some encouraging friends...please add me!!

It's easier for me to lose weight once I stop the feedings because then I can be more rigorus with my body. If I'm hungry , I can ignore it..while I'm nusring..I don't ingnore it. I try to make better choices which is why I'm here. I"m not good at that. :ohwell:

HEre's my take on it..for what it's worth... FOr many years people used Splenda thinking it was "Natural"...it's not.. I've been using Stevia for a long time, but i've seen alot of other main stream companies jummping on the Stevia band wagon. At first glance this seems good but it has me wondering about how "Natural"…

I agree with Kris. I usually feel like they're giving me too many calories back for my exercise but I take 1/2 and add it back. So if I burned off 400 calories, I'll add 200 calories to my day. This keeps your body from going into starvation mode.

I guess I dont' have to worry about my milk supply...lost 4lbs and woke up with a clogged milk duct. OUCH!!

There are tons of patterns... If you "Google" Diaper sewing Diva's there is a forum. Lots of WAHM, many have created great patterns for you to use.

Oh, now I know i'm in good company. I love sewing and I love sewing diapers the most. LOL

Whooo Hooo..another home birthing mama!! I love it.

I try to watch when i'm typing on line but i've got a 4 month old. Sometimes I'm typing so quickly because I need to go pick him up...or i'm typing with him in my arms. LOL Ignore my typos.

Here's some encouragement...I did the same thing years ago. I lost alot of weight for a vacation , when we got back, I could NOT get myself back on track. Ya know what i've learned? I'm 42 and i've learned that it gets harder as you get older. I also have a 4 month old son. With my 3 y/o, I was in better shape and I…

Hi Bonnie, I just added you. Congrats on your graduated children. What a great feeling!! I get to start all over again. Which i'm really looking forward to. All those years I spent worrying about teaching them "enough". LOL I'm definately going to enjoy it so much more this time around.

My BFF and her family just started this diet. They love it and when they can't eat healthy, they say that they feel the difference.

I know what you mean. By the time we're done "doing" for everyone else, there's no time for us. I will say that typing in all my food has been a big help. I've been very careful to watch what I snack on. I'm still nursing my 4 month old. I usually nurse my children for close to a year before I put them on food. I go by the…

Who invited the punctuation police? That said.... I"m doing the same thing..schooling / teaching is just a part of our every day. We've been doing sign language and that taught Sarah her alphabet. I wasn't going for that but that is what happened. We're just enjoying our days together. I plan on using My Father's World…

I have alot of milk, if I pump and bring up my supply, I actually end up with clogged milk ducts. I'm drinking more water...which is good. SO far it hasn't affected my milk supply but i'm still eating.. I'm just making better chioces, and better portions.

I've got two that I home schooled through high school and both are in college now...I've also got two that i'll be starting to school. Actually, with Sarah, my 3 y/o, we've already started some preschool stuff, but for us , it's just a way of life. Excuse my run-on sentence. LOL

Ummm...when you say your cycle is gone after one day...that's not normal. Could it be that you've experienced implantation bleeding and perhaps that is why you have not lost? I do agree wit the other posters that we fluctuate 2lbs through out the day.

THank you but he's 4 months old..so i'm healed up. I'll drink more water and keep an eye on him. My milk supply is my first concern.

I'm with you. I just joined. My son is 4 months old and it's time to start losing. How Do I join the group?

Oh thank you..I'll do that.
