I'm moving slowly toward a Keto food plan. I know that I can't drop from a 55% carb macro to a 15 or 20% carb macro overnight... tried that before with disastrous emotional and binge eating results. It has taken me some weeks to slowly move down my macros to where I'm at the 15% mark, and I'm feeling just fine. Still…

I once broke up with a guy because he had a deeper and more fulfilling relationship (for him) with comic books than with me. I like comic books... they're cool to read on a weekend, but he was OBSESSED. His entire day revolved around them. All his conversation revolved around them. He chose to not have a job and move back…

We have a serial tooter in my office... it's a bit different when you're working in a customer-facing role though. She's loud-style tooted in front of clients, and I've nearly died! Apparently, she is "too emotionally delicate" for anyone to ask her to try to excuse herself when she wants to crack-a-rat

I'll be 39 in a couple of months (4 months and a few weeks, not that I'm counting). I could use new friends!

It may have been said (I'm at work and sneaking on the site so I didn't check all 3 pages), but I put my peanut butter on toast... spreads around much more!

This was written as 1 haiku per stanza. Galveston Windchimes hanging still on the corner of your house empty lovers bed Eyes that looked to me the outreach of honesty concealing the lies Today, no phone call hiding a knife in my heart karma hunts you, too Each day misses you but dares not call out your name you deserve…

When I first started tracking calories, I came here and put in a typical day's worth of food, snacks, sodas, treats... anything that I would eat within a 24 hour period, including midnight snacks. The tally was 12,000-13,000 calories per day. ETA: Check out my open diary on 10/17/14 and I put in what a typical day would…

I'm a BBW with junk in the trunk and thick legs. I've seriously got the biggest calves LOL Love them, but they're some big ones. No stick figure here. FR me if you'd like

My electronic pressure cooker has been amazing on saving time. I can pre-set it to start at a certain time and then it stays in warming mode until I get home. Gives me time to help kids with homework.

The pancakes my grandmother used to make in a cast iron skillet with butter and mayhaw jelly, side of thick sliced bacon cooked until it's crispy and glistening with bacon grease An extra thick slice of prime rib, baked sweet potato the size of both my fists side-by-side, 2 bags of brussel sprouts coated in EVOO and…

I have a small square pillow that I sleep with, pressed against my chest with my arms crossed. May not be weird but I call it Mister Tiny. My ex boyfriend was very confused when I nudged him awake seeking g Mister Tiny... he may have been slightly offended until I explained. We're still friends and he still gives me…

I just joined (literally 2 minutes ago!) and my mini goal for today is to do more research on being dairy-free. I've struggled with lactose intolerance since I was a small child. Now, it seems that my stomach can handle some yogurt and cheese, however, I feel really bloated and gross and my skin may be breaking out because…

Thanks for so much support from some new faces! It's great to see that I can still be supportive of others and humble enough to ask for support too. If you enjoy my posts or just feel like it, let your friends know I'm awesome!

My mistake.... sorry all!! My life is so sedentary that I rarely exceed my RMR... my RMR is 1980, my TDEE rarely (these days) taps out above 2200. I basically get up, get dressed, sit on my butt to drive to work, sit at a desk all day, including my lunch break that should be an hour but I never actually HAVE an hour to…

Ive been sober over 10 years... for me, this is a permanent change. I agree with others - don't apologize for your choices. If being around others drinking makes you feel something negative then you do what is best for your life. I can tell from your post that you live in a culture similar to mine that sees drinking as an…

Since he is such an active child, in my humble opinion, a game might not be the answer.... can you devise a way to combine the math and with sports stats or part of physical games that he plays. Perhaps keep track of how many goals are scored on his team and have him use Player A and Player B, etc etc to multiply their…

I think they need to quit being so damned metrosexually sensitive to what they perceive is an issue with the masses and grade in whatever color they choose. Grade it in blood and tack it to the desk with a dagger... when did teachers get forced to be whimps and not be respected as professionals who are guiding kids into…

These patterns, from other parents with which I've had this same discussion, are tough to break. Both parents have to be on the same page because a 2 year old doesn't understand "these are the rules here and the rules change at XYZ's house". That's a huge, tough one because the rules have to be the rules until kids can…

If you're enjoying your long hair go for it... however if you do decide to cut it, I urge you to donate it. I grow my hair out every few years to donate and I like being able to do so.

Tried the cheddar and sour cream today.. I can agree that these seemed a bit more shard-prone than the BBQ. the flavor wasn't as overpowering as I had expected it to be from the color of the flavor-dust visible on the chips. Quantity: I feel that due to the careful packing and shipping that these really hold up well. Each…

I dated Barbie one time..... she stole every penny out of my bank account and I had to have her arrested. Nope, plastic is not fantastic.

What progress! You keep up taking those pics so you can keep seeing the progress. Some people forget and think that they're at a stall when they aren't - no matter what the scale says. Mine is dumb and lives in the corner in the bathroom LOL

I was nearly 4 body sizes off at 17.5% smaller than I think I am. Hmmmm...

My first official 5k race was done in 53 minutes. That was at 275 lbs. My personal best 5k race was done at 34 minutes. That was at 230 lbs. I haven't beat that time again yet, but I'm currently working on distance running versus speed. I need more endurance and to control my breathing / control my asthma before I get…

I started out with 25" calves.... the size of your thighs... and I bought boots, wore shorts, etc. Granted I sometimes wanted smaller legs, but you have what you have until you change it. Of course, as you lose weight, you will get small over your entire body, but you seriously can't just love yourself enough to say that…

People haven't noticed....? Hrm... some people can be so self-absored... shame on them See what I did there? It's 28 lbs. Here's a congratulations from a total stranger... the parade will begin shortly.
