Introductions
Hi guys! My name is Lisa and I am 27 years old. I decided to start this group to find other people trying to live the low carb/high fat lifestyle. I find that I am not doing well lately as I hoped, so I need to change some of the things I'm doing. I figured this might be a great way to also connect with other people, and…

60-65lbs to lose - looking for friends
Well, I've been a member of MFP for a while but I haven't fully utilized it I think in some part just not used to calorie counting, and a lack of inspiration to lose weight. But, I'm sick of procrastinating and "I'll start tomorrow." I was in the army until July 2011, and I was relatively in good shape up until my last…

How are you today - 8/23/12
Wow I didn't realize I haven't been on for a few days! My college classes start on Monday, and I have been really lazy this month with my eating and exercise program. I'm trying to kick my butt back into gear! I had an unexpected interview on Monday for a job I had applied for back in April. If things go well, I may start…

How are you today - 8/18/12
Sorry guys! Been busy helping move my boyfriends parents. It's been insane. We still have to go out today to help out. They are an hour and a half away, so it's def a drive. I also haven't been on plan since we've been helping move. Sigh. College starts in a little over a week, and I am happy that it does. I am kind of…

How are you today - 8/14/12
Well, I unexpectedly met up with a cousin of mine yesterday. Her BF has been cheating on her, and she wanted to get out of the house. Since it was so last minute, I didn't eat anything. We went to the mall for a while, and then we just kind of grabbed whatever to eat. My stomach is feeling it today. It wasn't low carb, but…

How are you today - 8/13/12
I didn't do well yesterday but at least I know why I fall off plan now to prevent it in the future. Typically, it's because I didn't eat a meal or something along those lines. I am trying to create new habits for myself. Thanks to another low carber who mentioned the book "The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do, and How…

Recipes with Whey Protein
I cook for myself and also my BF. We both work out, and I know my BF does not get enough protein. He finally is drinking a protein shake daily but it's typically not enough. Does anyone have any recipes with whey protein powder in them? For him, it's all about taste, so just as long as it's delicious he will eat them.

Meat and Egg Fast
I'm curious to if anyone else is participating in a Meat and Egg fast? I'm on day two, and have lost 1.6lbs since yesterday mornings weigh in. I find I do a lot better eating Meat and Egg because it gets me in deep ketosis, and appetite and cravings disappear almost immediately. I do use half and half and I limit my…

What to say back when friends/family bring you down
I'm not sure if anyone has had to deal with this or not so I'm kind of stumped on what to do or say back. I come from a very obese family, and as much as I love them, they drive me nuts when an undo conversation comes up about my weight. Mind you, I've mostly been fairly thin around 120-135lbs most my life and had lean…

February Ripped Challenge!
I bought Ripped in 30 a few days ago, and to get my butt moving I decided to create a challenge for myself and anyone else is welcome to join. I didn't lose anything in January. I have to say, I could have done a lot better but still disappointed. My goal this month is to lose 10-15lbs. Here's my plan for February: - At…

Just started today and have 60lbs to lose!
Hey everyone! My names Lisa and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently unemployed and trying to get on unemployment, so it leaves me a lot of time to get back in shape. I'm hoping that I can also go back to college this Spring 2012 so that I can get an associates in Business Administration. If I'm on unemployment I can apply for…
