I just found this which is probably way off but it's possible? Low salt or sodium in the blood (hyponatraemia) What is hyponatraemia? The mineral sodium is essential for many of the body's functions including fluid balance, blood pressure management and the nervous system. Hyponatraemia is a low level of sodium in the…

@SuperCarLori I'm not sure how to help :( I did have a headache earlier and had 2 bullion in some water and it helped, I'm up to about 6000mg so far today, so maybe your thinking of 7000 might not be far off...I'm still researching it if I find anything I'll let you know :)

Thank you @RalfLott just having a tough day mentally and felt bad that the thread went sort of sideways lol

Yup this is me! I still wear clothes from when I was over 450 pounds, just keep taking them in as I need to :) The stationary bike I have was given to me, so bonus! Here in Michigan it really does get too cold sometimes to walk when I need to so I jump on the bike :)

@SuperCarLori I feel I need to apologize your thread about sodium has now turned into a fitness tracker thread, I didn't mean for that to happen and can't figure out how to delete my comments so no one else comments. Once again I'm sorry this wasn't my intention @Dragonwolf thank you for your comments and advice. I'm a…

Thank you both, I don't actually have a smartphone, the phone I have is one of those really old ones where you push the number a million times to get the right letter HAHA

You look amazing! Well done!

Thank you, I didn't know. Fitbit is also extremely expensive lol

Yeah I'm moving from sun up to sun down and sometimes more lol...I plan to get an activity tracker soon just to see how active I really am, hard to find one that doesn't need a smartphone to save all the data though (I don't use cell phones, have one in the truck I keep for emergencies) I'd like to find one that can sync…

I aim for no more than 20g most days I'm around 10 some days 0 even but never over 20

I'll be following this! I have hypotension (Extremely low blood pressure) and I've been aiming for 5000mg of sodium a day since ready most here recommend at least 3000-5000 and I still get a headache by the end of the day, although that could be contributed to 4 kids running around screaming HAHA. Maybe like you I need…

I use Madagascar vanilla bean paste in my baking, it has 1g carb per teaspoon just an FYI :)

HAHA! Thank you for that laugh! And yes that's pretty much how I feel about it lol and I did my nails to celebrate ;)

I make my own flavored creamer with HWC, just add some extract and bam flavored coffee, if that's your thing ;) I used to put so much junk in my coffee, cappuccino mix and chocolate raspberry or caramel macchiato creamer by the truckload lol I was averaging about 1000g carbs a day JUST from my coffee, I couldn't believe it…

My goal this month was to walk to and from my parents house by the end of the month, it hasn't happened YET but I have been doing 10+ miles on my indoor bike each day :) Hopefully the weather clears up soon I live in Michigan 80 one day snow the next lol I guess though it should be rain snow or shine I should get my butt…

I agree :) He's a little sweetheart

OMGosh totally agree! I couldn't do most of those things without something dislocating (EDS) Was just an option for what I found :)

@AlexandraCarlyle Aw thank you! And yes he is pretty amazing, his sisters on the other hand are little butts ;) HAHA according to him anyway, poor guy is the only man in the house so I don't blame him for calling his 3 sisters butts ;)

I like the idea of "Motivational May" although this group of amazing people is already super motivational and supportive! I did find a few other ideas on Pinterest

I just search for what I've eaten and add net carbs to the search, say I had a cheese stick, I'd search (brand name cheese stick net carbs) and I always look at the nutrition info before adding that way I know if it's right or not

Thank you everyone! You're all so amazingly supportive here I love this group! Together we can all kick our butts into shape :)

I ended up in the hospital in March with a severe infection in my intestines that had almost become septic, after that I knew I needed to change my diet...When I really looked at things I was getting over 1000g of carbs a day just from all the junk I'd put in my coffee! After I got out of the hospital I threw all that junk…

Thank you everyone! @Time2LoseWeightNOW I wish I had pics of me at 450+ the pic I have in my profile I was just under 350 pounds...I was just looking at that pic earlier after I posted this and can't believe the transformation...It sure does feel amazing and I'm inspiring myself...I can't wait to get to my goal weight and…

Awesome! Congrats!!!...I've never been in "One"derland as an adult, I was over 200 pounds by 6th grade, so this is mindblowing for me :)

HAHA! Thank you for the laugh! I was actually looking at new scales on amazon the other night because I don't trust this one even though it's been spot on since I bought it lol...My kids are always grumbling about me making them step on it, my oldest is like "Mom just believe it cause you're getting skinny" Bless his…

Thank you all for the advice I have yet to make it, 4 kids will make it hard to find time LOL. I'll make a small batch and if it doesn't turn out I won't feel too guilty if I chuck it lol I also might try a small bottle of avocado oil if I can find a small one, if I don't like it my mom loves avocados I'm sure she'd use it…

I make my own Keto cereal, I use Bob's Red Mill coconut flakes unsweetened and sliced almonds, I toast both separately in the oven (250 degrees until lightly toasted pay attention they can go quickly from perfect to burnt) 1/2 cup of coconut and 2 tbs of almonds with 1/2 cup coconut or almond milk unsweetened, hit's the…

I'm not a fan at all of avocados so I'm leery of trying the oil lol

Once coconut oil is whipped it stays that way I use it to make my own lotion and conditioner

Thank you @bametels @bertadee812 and @RAC56 :)
