There is hope!
So, I went and weighed myself this morning, but before I do the reveal, I'll remind you where I'd started at. When I started my weight loss path, I weighed in at 145kg (319lb). I immediately went on a mostly low carb, wheat free diet (mostly; I am human, so I have lapsed several times, but for the most part, I've been…

Whole 30
Anyone doing the Whole 30? I'm considering it, but it looks restrictive (no dairy?!), and want some opinions first.

The 8 Week Challenge
I've joined an 8 week challenge with some friends. I've set a goal for myself to reach in the next 8 weeks. I've chosen to walk at least 100km (at most 128km). I've chosen to walk at least 5 times a week. It's up to you guys to harass me into keeping up my challenge. :P I was trying to think up some kind of reward for…

Meat!
Let's talk about meat. I love meat, personally. Eating meat is very satisfying. I live in Tasmania, where almost all the beef is grass-fed (if not all). I think most of the pork is pastured as well. And, I believe factory farming of chickens has been banned (or is in the process of being banned). As it is, the meat supply…

Exercising
The physio gave me a bunch of exercises to do to improve my core strength. I feel murdered today. Not as badly as I felt after that gym class with my friend, but I needed to bust out the tiger balm for my back last night. She wants me to do these every day. And walk 10,000 steps every day. And take a yoga/pilates class. On…

Welcomes and Introductions
I started this private group for those select few of us who actually enjoy eating real food. I know that, for me, going onto the forums has become a tragic comedy of insanity, and I decided that I really didn't need to stick around and watch these people do... whatever is they're doing to themselves. So here we are, the…

Whinge of the Day
Slept like hell. Kept waking up because I was too hot, or too cold, or too uncomfortable. Woke up and rolled out of bed a 5am, sick of the world and the struggle to sleep, to find out that I hurt everywhere. Existing is a b!tch. What's more, I feel obligated to walk to the pool and do an aqua fitness class and then walk…

The Preconception Diet
I found this very interesting, as I am trying to lose weight in preparation for pregnancy. It's why I was so concerned about my nutritional levels, and asked for the Vit D tests and such. http://butterbeliever.com/preconception-diet/ I already do well on the eggs and dairy, but I have to work on getting my greens uptake…

What's for breakfast?
Good question! Hm... 3 egg scramble with mushrooms, onion and cheese sounds good to me. :D

Any real food/low-carbers out there?
I'm attempting to keep my carb total around 50g per day. Sometimes I'm over, sometimes I'm under, but I'm on day 6 of my low-carb diet now, and I'm doing fairly well. We're getting a lot of veggies from our garden too, so it helps with the healthy meal factor. Free range eggs, good meat, either free range livestock or wild…

Hello
I've been struggling with my weight all my life, when I wasn't too depressed and worn out to not care about it. I've been on here for a while (I can't actually remember how I ended up here though), but this is the first time I decided to check out the forums. I figure having other people following my progress would help…
