I'm glad its worked out for you! I was thinking that you didn't really look like you needed to lose weight, but as long as you get to where you're happy, that's what matters.

I have les stuff written down and I will start Monday because I have a weekend trip planned and darn if I'm not going to enjoy it!

Yeah I get what you're saying, it was just pretty discouraging. I may have been gaining muscle, but I was also eating much healthier and wasn't fitting in to any of my clothes anymore. I ripped my only nice dress trying to put it on. Then I just stopped trying and went right back to the weight my body seems to enjoy being, which was about 20 lbs lighter.

I'm not really sure where or what my goal weight should be because of odd circumstances. At 15 I was 120-130 lbs and thin, although I do have a pair shapped figure. But your body isn't finished growing at that age and then I was pregnant with twins, after which I didn't lose the baby weight, then I got pregnant with my son and have been putting on weight. So I'm pretty in the dark as to where an "ideal" weight for me would be. I know it isn't this though because I'm obviously fat. I want to be able to sit down without having a roll on my lap.

I am aware that the more weight you lose the harder it starts to get, which I'm fine with if its actually showing progress. Heck my exercise one might have worked out long term but at my size I can't afford to put on 20 lbs in the meantime, you know?

I just want to lose weight quickly I am in a bad period of self-hatred right now. I pretty much cry everytime I see myself in a camera at a store or restaurant.

I'm just worried because the last time I invested in trying hard to lose weight I seriously plumped up like a balloon. I was doing HOURS of exercise and eating better and I was, no joke, gaining about 2 lbs a day. I'd put on about 20 lbs in a bit over 2 weeks. I'm so discouraged and I hate the way I look right now

How about sausage? I like me some sausage

I also suppose my cheese dogs are out of the question for the first 4 days ;_;

Salt is actually not bad for you. Your blood pressure won't rise because you won't have a high carb intake. It's like a balance. As long as you're not drinking salt with your meat, you'll be fine. Most meat has 0-1 gram of carbohydrates per serving. It depends how they're cured and prepared. Honey ham and other such sweet meats would be out of the question, while bacon is not only fine, but encouraged.

Hmm yeah some of this is confusing for me. Like it says deli meats are okay but they're very high in salt and by no means healthy. Also diet soda, which is incredibly unhealthy. I'm not too comfortable with those things. I'm not sure how I'll manage the first 4 days because there is no way I can keep myself eating heavy meats for all of my meals for 4 days.

You mentioned something about low carbs, I don't really see mention of the carbs here. Are there a lot of carbs in meats (sorry if stupid question, I'm not the most educated on this)

Do you know why the no carrots?

Oh thank you! I'll check it out~

Hmm this is all very complicated to me. I tried looking it up online but all I seemed to find were people talking about it and not like a daily guide I could follow or something. If I can sort it out I might try this when I get back from weekend vacay on Monday.

The thing that seems to work most for me is walking. Eat whatever the heck I want and walk. I tried a stricter, more exercisey diet and I was gaining weight like crazy and got super depressed and stopped trying. I would walk more but I live in the south and I have a heat allergy

So what's this ketosis diet? Mind giving me some details, I might give it a try

loooool

Hi!

Doh, I meant Sheriff!

Didn't know the OP was able to command the mods to their will

Btw, nice costume! Marshal Gordon! We're there commissioners back in the cowboy days?

Haha it was closed after you had posted in it, perhaps another accident?
