Hahahaha I feel like that TP roll might be necessary in that case.

Yup! I especially notice it during certain points in my cycle.

I'd consider the gummy bears in case of constipation...but only if I plan on being home for a while...and preferably alone.

Thanks guys. I love all the support here...where we can be honest about screw ups and not get in crap for it. <3 Yesterday was a good day, by the way! And I took all of the halloween candy out of the house today...I'm sure the people in the office will take care of it for me.

@805_blondie and @coloradoartstudio if you guys try the hot protein cocoa, mix in in the blender. I have a hard time making the protein mix in well with just a spoon.

Sometimes I have a hard time getting my proteins in. I've started using protein powders when I need to hit my protein goal. Lately I've been using a chocolate protein powder to make "hot cocoa". 1/2c almond milk, 1/2c water, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 2 tbsp hwc, vanilla, and cinnamon. So good! And it hits the…

My dinner's aren't usually super fatty anyway so it works out for me and my SO. We've always done dinners that are meat + veggies + carby side like potatoes or rice. I'll eat the meat and veggies. I'll add butter to my veggies if I'm low of fat for the day otherwise I use that meal to get my proteins in with leaner cuts.…

@KnitOrMiss Ahh! Sorry I didn't see that sentence. My condolences to you... So far I haven't had any issues to any artificial sweeteners. I've had some atkins products with no issues (I know most of them are sweetened with malitol). Though, I try to avoid store bought crap and try to make recipes at home instead, with…

Apparently haribo sugar free gummy bears have malitol syrup in them...check out the amazon reviews. You should get a great ab workout while reading.

Wine and cheeseeeeeeeeeee! I really cut my wine consumption as well since I started keto. It doesn't seem to affect me negatively though..I just choose to save my calories for something else. I'll have a glass here or there...thankfully I have a friend living with me so if I crack a bottle I know someone else will drink…

SW: 192 CW: 170.5 (down 0.1 lb from last week) GW: 155 I'm -still- sick. Going on 2 weeks with this stupid cold. UGH!!

Awe @ all the pupples!! I was totally a big dog person, grew up with bouviers. Love them to bits and pieces and fully intend on getting one. But as a young single person I knew a big dog wouldn't work for me. So I ended up getting a yorkie/maltese (I think) mix. She comes with me on the boat, rides with me on my harley,…

When I used to eat breakfast I would make up a batch of bacon on Sunday night and every morning I would quickly fry an egg, put it in a container with some of the bacon and take it with me. I'd heat it up and eat it at my desk at work. Though now I'm a fan of bulletproof coffee. (I dont actually buy bulletproof anything I…

I cant wait to get closer to goal so I can incorporate this. My lifts are crap right now. Oh well...it's the price I pay to not be fat, and it's worth it right now!

I think most of the time it's just that people aren't used to seeing you smaller. People generally don't do well with change and because they're used to seeing you bigger, in contrast, it might appear that you're getting "too thin". I always just smiled and nodded when people said I was getting "too thin". It's my body and…

I'm from a small town in the interior of BC so it'll be difficult to source the meat. I do go to Alberta a fair bit so maybe I just have to go with a big cooler and source some meat, pick it up on one of my trips, and then bring it home to fill the freezer. @RowdysLady awesome to hear that Rowdy is seeing more deer! Hope…

@missholls910 thank you!!

I always found the younger Drs to be more attentive. Now, if I could only switch Drs. Mine is completely useless to me. When I told her I was eating 1200 calories a day (and accurately tracking my intake) and exercising 60 minutes a day and not losing weight, over a three month period she told me to exercise more. I saw a…

Low...carb..PUMPKIN MUFFINS. Excuse me while I go google a recipe.
-
Most over the counter weight loss aids (which would include carb blockers) don't really work that well. But, if you eat LC you don't even need to bother with them anyway. Save some $$ :)

Awesome!!

The things I find I use in most low carb baking I've done are:* Swerve (confectioners and granular). You could also buy just the granular and put it in a blender to make a fine powder which would essentially be confectioners sugar. * Almond flour * Coconut flour It all depends what you're making though. You could look…

My fitbit scale regularly shows me +2 lbs from my other scale (which is just a $10 wal mart special). Stupid fitbit scale! I do like that it records my weight into my online profile so I don't have to worry about it! This morning's weigh in: SW: 192 CW: 170.6 (down 0.7 lbs from Oct 5 weigh in) GW: 155 I went on a vacation…

Holy smokes what a difference! You're doing awesome!

For myself, I plan on bringing in refeed days when I'm closer to goal weight (probably within 5 lbs) to see how my body reacts, once a week and timed around my heaviest workouts. Though I would be aiming to get carbs from sources such as rice, pasta, oats, etc. I plan on staying keto in maintenance while increasing my…

Hahah I saw that this morning and was going to post it on here! You beat me to it!

I don't have my menu planned for the week either. I'm usually at least 4 days ahead in planning. Last night I made pizza in a bowl (low carb pizza sauce, salami, cheese and a little basil, microwaved). It's kind of been things like that all week. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of meal planning again here soon.…

Your husband sounds like such a great supportive partner. You're a lucky lady. I'm sorry if someone else already mentioned this but I know for myself when I want to have things that aren't keto friendly I have a few things I do. 1. I'll allow myself something awesome and keto friendly (i.e. today I'm having a big prime rib…

Mostly nuts, dairy, and veggies for my carbs here.
