I need to get out for a walk today. Walked about 4 city blocks on Sunday. 1/2 mile? Twice. Paid for it with painful feet and swollen legs till today. (Wed) Will prep veggies, squash, onions and bake bread ( for the non low carb people) for stuffing. Last minute groc shop for the things that I forgot Monday. Have a great…

@canadjineh I have a foot deformity called tarsus varus. Big toe goes out sideways like a thumb. Also fallen arch, heel needs repair. Broke a bone in that foot at some point, too. Still functional but often painful. Just no time right now to get it fixed. Next summer maybe.

I'm having a hungry day today, too. Already eaten most of my days allotment of calories. I have stuck to low carb though. Being short I still have to watch the calories.

@canadjineh I hope all went well with the surgery. Do you have to stay off it for a while? I have foot surgery in my future , again, next year.

Didn't occur to me that they might have contributed to weight gain. Back then I was so depressed that M&M's and cookies were my comfort anyway. I went off them a few years ago and lost some weight. Then discovered LCHF and lost a bunch more. I found that they muted everything. Numb. Was on various kinds of anti depressants…

@KetoGirl83 Call her, your endo, and please tell her what you've told us. She can't be as effective without complete info. She should be able to see what low carb has done for you and hopefully will work with you. Have courage!

I have lost about 50 lbs , but similar to you @KetoGirl83 , my legs are still swollen. I wear medium support stockings, (knee high). My Mom had lymphedema in her legs due to atrial fibrillation and blood pressure issues. She wore thigh high compression stockings. Seemed to help as did the massage and elevating her legs…

I too, want to "eat all the things". In my case it's because I want something that tastes good. Nothing tastes good anymore! Even carby , sweet things, meaty , fatty things, even nuts ....sigh.

I like the Diamond lightly salted almonds and salted , roasted sunflower seeds.

Just had the nicest lunch at the local diner. Crab Benedict, no bread or hash browns. Crab, poached eggs and hollandaise. A little bit of mesclun greens and a lot of blue cheese dressing. Yumm

We put the furnace on for the first time this morning. At 9:15 am it is only 50 degrees F . Might warm up to 65 later. Wearing jeans and a fleece jacket in th house with a lap robe on my legs. I rarely was this cold before I lost weight.

@toadqueen went to a local pizza place for meatballs and salad and had a great conversation with the gal behind the counter , ( who is gluten free) , about LCHF and missing pizza. She had heard of fathead pizza and I told her if they made and sold that I would be in for it often! I have my doubts if it would come to pass,…

@KenSmith108 if I ate like that picture I'd be in a coma all the time! Way too many carbs!

Up a little to 98

@kmn118 Love Fantasia, too. I miss watching Disney movies now that my Grand daughter is grown. She'll be watching them soon with her little one, though. He is almost 6 months old.

@auntstephie321 I'm in Maine. That is Northeast, too!

91. It's been pretty stable like that for a few weeks now. Got back on track with low carbs and lower calories.

Reached 139.1. First time I've been under 140 since 1976. 140 was my initial goal weight. I hope I can loose another 10 lbs. over the next year. It's going to be very slow, but that is ok.

Silly is good! Celebrate the silly! We all need the joy that silliness brings!

@RowdysLady I was married to one like your Rowdy. I miss him so much!

@RowdysLady and @Smoked33 I still play World of Warcraft . I'm an introvert , too, although I can talk quite a bit in a small group. Got to have my alone time, though.

@yuggybuggy MFP has really helped me with the logging everything part.i binge eat much less often now than I did a few years ago. Eating nuts at computer when stressed is a big problem for me. I can't keep them around anymore. I'm trying to deal with feelings instead of pushing them down with food. Yuck and ugh! So hard!…

I am 5'2" and about 142 lbs. I eat at about 1000 to 1100 calls a day. By the time I get in the protein, veggies and associated fats for cooking , serving, etc there are no calories for desserts or fat bombs. I would love to try some of the recipes for low carb mug cakes, fat bombs( candy equivalents) muffins or cookies.…

5'2" height SW 187 CW 140.7. Approximate original goal weight GW. 130. New goal weight Been stalled at 140-ish. For a couple weeks. Gathering mental strength for another disciplined push. Need to increase exercise. Have been eating closer to maintenance 1150 calories. Got to drop it to 1050 again. Looking forward to…

I have an allergy to mustard so I've always made my own barbecue sauce. Recipe similar to those posted, except sub some horseradish for the mustard and add a little smoked paprika or smoky chipotle . Something magical does happen after a few hour in the fridge!

Had some vanilla , no added sugar, ice cream yesterday afternoon. Paid for it dearly about 4 hours later with a couple runs for the bathroom. Good news is I'm down 2 lbs! It must have been loaded with sugar alchols , Splenda or something.

My sister in law tried taking three different statins and they all affected her mentally, fogginess, balance, etc. She also has Parkinson's so there may have been some other interactions with those meds.

I bought size 10 dress slacks yesterday. Still have muffin top , but a lot of it is loose skin ( I think ) from loosing 40+ pounds in six months. I'm older so I expect the saggy skin will never completely go away. A year ago I was wearing size 20!

Me , too. Just want them up , not hanging!

Yep, me, too. Too much stretched skin. Even if I look slimmer IN my clothes , in a swimsuit it is just sad saggy skin.
