Keto question
Ok so I've lost almost 190 pounds so far I had lost 250 but I gained weight having my daughter. In the past 5 months I have lost 50 pounds with keto/low carb.

Banana cupcakes
I made banana cupcakes with white cake mix but used 2 cups greek yogurt and a little water instead of eggs and oil, and I mixed in some banana extract. They turned out so moist and delicious. I'd recommend this to anyone, it's an awesome swap! :) I mixed a little banana extract in with the frosting too, and they are very…

pizza question
My fiance' wanted to get pizza for dinner and I obliged. I got a garden delight pizza (cheese, tomato, green peppers, onions) and scraped all the toppings off of the crust onto an 80 calorie fiber one tortilla. How many calories do you think I ate in 4 slices worth of toppings only plus the 80 cal tortilla? I guesstimated…

Worried about fiance'
I am really worried about my fiance'. He leads an extremely unhealthy lifestyle. His resting heart rate is 95-100, he smokes 2 packs a day, he drinks energy drinks, and he sits around playing xbox and sleeping. He has no physical activity at all. He's 24, so he thinks that it's fine that he does this, that nothing bad can…

mmmm 10 calorie protein shake mix in idea :) yummm
Seriously, I made a banana cinnamon bun protein shake today. And it blew my socks off. (almost literally.) Duncan Hines has these "frosting mix ins" that you're supposed to put into frosting to make the frosting a different flavor (I know, how many times can I say frosting in one sentence? frosting.) anyway, they are 10…

Then I increased my cals because ppl told me to eat back some of my exercise calories, and increase my calories because I wasn't eating enough. I gained another 4. In ONE DAY!!…

The book! NSV
So....I found a book the other day with all my pictures in it from different grades in elementary/high school and it listed friends, grades, weight, etc. and I realized I am 20 pounds lighter now than I was in 8th grade!!

Quaker breakfast bars vs. Wendy's baked breakfast bar
I just wanted to share this, I thought it was interesting. I was obsessed with the Wendy's "baked breakfast bar" that came out, it is like 250 calories. Well, Quaker came out with these breakfast bars in raisin and date flavor and banana nut flavor, you can microwave them for 10 secs and they are JUST LIKE the Wendy's…

Hello everyone
Hello, everyone - my name is Beth. I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I have a long story to tell but I'll try to summarize it. I used to weigh 405 pounds in 2001.
