    Hey Brenda, how is it going?

    Hi Tracey, I am recovering from a UTI/ YI :/ I haven't had either one in over a year. A couple years ago I was bit by a tick and had the tell tale bulls eye rash but the basic blood test came back negative (That test mostly comes back negative anyway) so since I had the rash they gave me antibiotics for only two weeks and I think it should have been longer but I'm not a doctor and what do I know :D Anyway I believe that my infections was from the Lyme disease. Every once in a while I will have symptoms such as aching joints, numbness in my face or hands and infections. So this past week I was reading up on what I can do to help my symptoms and was told that prebiotics/probiotics should help so I went to Amazon and found some all natural pills called Hyperbiotics Pro-Women and will take these. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will help o:)

    Oh Brenda, that doesn't sound fun! Hopefully it'll clear up soon! <3

    I pray you are back to normal soon and the prebiotics work for you. You were missed.

    Thanks girls <3 The infections are gone but it takes me a while to feel back to normal (whatever normal is :D )

    I've been taking the pre/probiotics for about 2 weeks now and so far so good :)

    I've been maintaining at 125 for the past 3 weeks and this week is the first week I will be eating OMAD everyday and they will NOT be low carb :# I also won't be having anymore splurge days and after my body gets used to eating carbs and I start losing weight again I will then start eating 2MAD either 1 or 2 days a week and OMAD the other days. I hope this works o:)

    Brenda, I have the same love/hate relationship with keto. Imagine this! Crawfish etouffee and rice didn't kill me yesterday!

    Hope you continue to feel better.

    That's great that those carbs didn't hurt you :)

    I'm feeling a lot better, thanks <3

    Friday (124.4) Cinnamon Roll, General Gaos Chicken with Crab Rangoons, Icecream Cone

    Saturday(127) 3 Slices Pizza, Icecream Cone, 1 Mini Snickers

    Sunday (127.4) 2 Bacon Cheeseburgers, Small Fry, Icecream Cone

    Monday (127.4) Pasta Salad, Doritos, 2 Slices Pizza, Icecream Cone, Light Mocha Hot Chocolate

    Tuesday (127) Big Bowl of Popcorn, 1 Slice Sharp Cheese, Mocha Hot Chocolate

    Wednesday (125.6) Pasta Salad, Doritos, 2 Slices Pizza, 2 Donut Holes, Icecream Cone

    Thursday (126.8) Today will be just a low calorie salad and I'm hoping it gets me down to 125 for my official weigh in day tomorrow.

    I think I'm going to be ok eating carbs so I'm going to continue eating them. My plan from now on will be eating OMAD every day with NO carb restrictions and throwing in a low calorie meal day as needed to keep my weight in the 120's

    Stay tuned for tomorrow's weigh in :)

    @Brendalea69 You are a good influence with this maintenance plan and overall approach. Question: do you supplement at this point?

    Happy Birthday.
