Hi SLIMSONS!! It's just me, Nancy....👋😉
I'm back for yet another (6th🤔 I think?) round. Last month my goal was to lose 3 pounds and I lost almost 4!! I am now 4.1 lbs from my goal weight. 85.9lbs down total.
I really love the support and consideration the members of our team give one another. Always an understanding and thoughtful post to cheer each other up and on. Inspiring leaders and participants as well.
Looking forward to killing it in FEBR-YOU-ARRRRRYYYY!!!!💪🏻😅💥✨🙌
PS: I go on vacation at last week of this month--- knowing I'll most likely start March with a gain after a week of eating and drinking-- so see you in March as well!👏🤣🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

@AB0215 I bought an Instant Pot yesterday. You said you had some good recipes? I bought a roast this morning (the first time I've ever bought one). I'm willing to give it a shot.

Comment: Today was a major cheat... Japanese buffet 😋🍱🍣🍤luncheon--- two plates later 🤦🏻♀️ I am left to quick add my lunch--take the loss---enjoy the food and hit restart in the morning. 🤷🏻♀️
Goal: To enjoy Super Bowl Sunday by eating primarily protein-- fasting tomorrow and Monday.... and getting in my exercise as much as I can. This coming week I am loaded with meetings early morning---am going to try my best to sneak in my exercise when I can--- maybe some evening?? Juggling.

YES! I love the instant pot. I make my hard boiled eggs in it. Basically super simple, add 1 cup water, and I put all my eggs on the trivet (metal rack) and put them on high pressure for 6 mins. Once the timer goes off, wait until it shows 6 minutes then release the remaining pressure by opening the valve on the top. Immediately put the eggs in an ice bath for at least 6 mins and then the shells slide off super easy and they are perfectly cooked, not over cooked, sometimes I forget to pull them out at 6 mins and that's when I overcook them, but if you get them at 6 mins after the timer goes off (and it counts up for you) then they're perfect.
The roast recipe I use is:
https://www.copymethat.com/r/Eg9ZUnb/keto-beef-brisket-in-the-instant-pot/
On that recipe, I tend not to add the onion slices it calls for put instead some onion powder in the mixture instead.
And it calls for a brisket and I make it with regular roast and it comes out just as good, I've also done the brisket and both are good.
Here's there recipe for the seasoning it calls for:
https://www.copymethat.com/r/KX6AmRA/keto-bbq-seasoning/
On the seasoning, you can substitute any granulated sweetener and if you don't have some of those spices, I don't think it will matter too much, I happened to have them all and it worked out pretty good.
Really the key points are--make the seasoning, rub it on the meat, saute the meat on the saute function, and it calls for avocado oil, I use olive oil instead, and then fill it with the rest of the ingredients and put the meat back in and set the timer for 60 minutes and let it do it's thing.
And I do recommend reading the instructions for the instant pot, it suggest doing a water test and that basically gives you an idea of what happens when it comes to pressure and makes sure it's working properly before you try to cook with it.
Let me know if you have any questions!
I'll look through my recipes and see what else I have that's super easy and tasty and relatively low carb. Stay tuned.2 -
Thanks!! Where do you get granulated erythritol? I will need to leave out the cayenne pepper...I don't care for hot spices.. but the rest sounds good. I need to make a trip to the store for the others.0

@CindyJNC1963 I don't like spicy and the erythritol really balances out the spice. I've found that one of the brand names for it is Swerve and I can find it in grocery stores near me, but you can also order it on amazon, also if you've got a store that sells Now Foods products, they have a granulated erythritol too. Now I prefer that sweetener, but it's not really a requirement, you can use another one, I would steer clear of Splenda though as that one is high on the glycemic index.0 -

Ended up leaving - there was too much going on and I needed to cut back tremendously. I regained 20 pounds in the last 3 months, so my goal right now is to get back to where I was - 140lbs.
I reside in St. Louis, MO with my wife and 6 (yes, SIX) beautiful children. One is 17, so I guess he's not really a child anymore. I work a normal job during the day - I got my Property and Casualty/Life Insurance Licenses recently and now work for State Farm. So, I went from a pretty active daily routine to a sedentary job. Then,4 out of 7 days I help my buddy with his commercial cleaning business. Between those things, and all the activities my kids are in - Band, Dance, Soccer, Baseball, Basketball...and the church functions and other school functions, it is hard for me to get a lot of exercise in. I was getting jogging in every other day - and managed to get to where I could run a mile and a half nonstop. Not in this weather!!!!
The biggest thing I have been working on is my food... portion control, etc. I follow the 16:8 Intermittent Fasting system. It isn't a diet, but more meal timing. I find it works for me - it may not work for you or be your cup of tea. I won't ever say its a cure all or the magic bullet, but it helps me.
I have 20 pounds to lose to get me back to where I was. So, here I am, back at it!

Remember, the last step is patience, let the pressure release naturally after it cooks, 10-15 mins or so, it's worth it, trust me. Makes the meat so much more tender

Hi, I'm Brittany and this is my 5th month doing BLC, so I guess I'm not a newbie anymore ☺️. I'm a 5 ft even, 31 yo wife, mom of two young boys, and jogging and weight training are my exercises of choice. My goals are:
-Workout at least 3 times per week
-Track all food daily
-Drink at least 60 oz of water
- Write down a positive thought or encouraging quote every morning to start the day off on a good note.
I have been contemplating tackling a couple of 5ks this year, but I want to work on consistency with the above goals first.
Looking forward to a great February with you all!♥️
CW: 135.2 lbs.
GW for January: 130 lbs.
Overall GW: 115 lbs.
