I love seaweed. Seriously, the most convenient, tasty snack that you can eat your fill of and have no worries.

Forgot to add that I play Alliance/Warlock

I started playing wow near the end of Vanilla right before they released TBC. I played consistently up until mid Wrath. Ever since I've only played on and off. For the longest time I looked for the fabled "wow killer" (never found,) and started playing again just recently. I am looking forward to Classic, as I missed it…

If you like waffles, check out this recipe for when you've been in keto for some time, and are adapted. http://www.tryketowith.me/2015/08/01/the-only-keto-pancakewaffle-recipe-i-need/ Just keep in mind that sugar substitute will usually de-rail you, and give you the runs, so it's best to use vanilla extract - just pay mind…

I just tell people these days that I watch what I eat, because I'm diabetic, even though I am not. It saves so much headache! Plus if you ever have to go out to eat, the server is less likely to bring you whatever, and call it diet or no sugar, etc...because they're afraid you'd go into a diabetic episode. I used to tell…

If you liked Person of Interest, you might enjoy Blacklist also. It is on Netflix atm, and it's pretty good. Not too sure you want to watch it in front of young children however.

Honestly, it's more fun with a group of people. There are so many things to do it's not even funny (horse breeding, crafting, trading, fishing, sailing around, pvp, etc....) Also, even if you read the tutorial, there is so much you'll end up having questions about regardless, but once you learn it the game is really fun.…

I've been playing Black Desert Online - seriously, that game has been consuming all my time. I'm on Orwen server if anyone wants to join; could always use more people to game with.

It's going to have to be "Keto for life" for me too. I've goofed up, and I've intentionally tried going back to eating normally, but simply cannot. The sugar makes me feel gross, as well as the excessive carbs. I figure at this point, there are so many viable subs for the things I used to like, that it makes no difference…

If you look at the bottom of the page to the left, it shows the nutritional info for syrups they use. https://news.starbucks.com/uploads/documents/nutrition.pdf

less grains, and less sugar. Example: Breakfast: 2-3 egg omelette with cheese and mushrooms mixed in. Lunch: 2oz sliced chicken breast on a bed of kale/spinach mix with shredded cheddar and choice of dressing (I go for mayo, but some brands of ranch are ok.) Dinner: pan seared radishes with melted cheese, chives, and full…

Your muscles soak up and hold onto water for a bit after a good exercise. This is why you're gaining, or stalling temporarily. After your muscles release the water, you usually will see weight loss. http://www.livestrong.com/article/418620-do-muscles-hold-water-after-a-hard-workout/

Not a huge fan of radishes either. However, this looks awesome - I will have to give it a go.

No, that's too tedious imo. I use mostly just salt and pepper anyhow (and considering it's iodized sea salt,) and I don't have sodium issues to begin with, I have little reason to log it.

You could always make snacks in advance. For example, flax bread breakfast sandwiches are to die for (high in calories, but also protein, so make sure to balance your sandwich out with lots of mayo or something..) Walnuts and almonds are a good snack (albeit easy to go overboard with, so make sure you weigh them.)…

Once in a blue moon. However, I am the only one doing keto in the house - both my son and husband are cake and ice cream enthusiasts. We almost always have cake, ice cream, and or cookies along with chips, etc... in the house (they're both tall and thin - I am very jealous lol.) I like to live dangerously, but sometimes I…

My first year of keto I went from 220 to 160. There were times when I stalled out, and times when I lost quick, and when I monitored my weight it always would fluctuate 5-10 pounds or so. I found measurement to be the best way to track. This go around, I am not tracking as much. I am still picking my life back up, and…

I chew Orbitz, and they've never derailed me. Then again I usually only go through 1-2 pieces a day.

Previous posters have already mentioned 2 important factors - keeping your sticks in the bathroom, which damages them via moisture, or keto adaption. Or, too much protein and not enough fat (that's a big thing to watch out for.) I've heard of people getting the cheap breathalyzers to see if they're in keto (they pick up…

Make sure you're measuring yourself correctly also, as weight can be misleading at times. I say this because, when you do keto we get what's called the woosh effect from time to time (you spike up in weight a bit, only to lose a bunch all of a sudden.) Also, I notice this happens more during that time of the month (I gain…

Guild Wars 2 is more or less buy to play, which is different imo. Now, if Elder Scrolls Online would have done it that way, I would have been happier to hear the news. However, the folks down at ZeniMax are electing to give a 10% bonus to exp for leveling, and crafting plus free cash shop creds to those who pay 15 a month.…

I did keto (high fat, moderate protein, low carb) for a year, and lost a crazy amount of weight (I went from 220 to 160.) However, I ended up getting depressed due to some unfortunate events that I would rather not get into, which involved an immediate family member. I also had some major life changes (working again after…

I don't even think that is really obsessive. Since when is making more healthful choices obsessive? For example, if your friends wanted to go to Olive Garden (a dieter's nightmare,) and you suggest a more healthful establishment, or one with better options such as a steak house instead, how is that obsessive at all? It's…

I was handed a controller to an SNES at a young age because my mom was a single parent, and it was the best thing to distract me so she could get some peace and quite. My first game was super mario brothers :) I then played every title I could, and as technology progressed I got N64, Sega, Playstation you name it (was…

I am easily annoyed by those who refuse to blow their nose, but instead elect to torture everyone around them by sucking it right back (sniffling.) Not only is the sound annoying, but the very concept is disgusting to me. Another thing that bothers me, is loud eaters. I can't stand it when people crunch, smack or slurp…

The keep is important if you want Inquisition to play out around your previous choices in DAO, and DA2.

You know what helps me? I try to balance every meal that way there are no surprises at the end of the day (then again, I mess up from time to time, I am human.) I am a lazy human at that lol. These days I mostly drop a glob or two of Dukes Mayo on top of everything for the fat content. That said, oils are great - Have you…

From the bit of browsing I've seen, I personally think it's sugar and carbs that's doing you in. Atkins foods are notorious for causing stalls, and stuff with sugar alcohols doesn't help either. Also, Jimmy Dean's Sausage, while tasty, has HFCS in it (sugar,) which can throw you off as well. You really want to avoid…

Hmm, maybe I'll give GW2 a second look then. Albeit, ESO going free to play has me absolutely stoked.

It would be soul-crushing to win, only to discover you can't get time off of work, nor is the flight to and from covered lol.
