Many processed meats (ham, sliced turkey) have gluten. Also, a lot of chocolates have gluten although you can find wonderful chocolates that are gluten-free. I was surprised that licorice has gluten in it, so maybe the jellybeans could also?

@Twibbly Thank you for making this comment! Before I went gluten free, I spent a lot of time soaking my hands and feet in hot water. I had microwaveable fleece mitts and foot warmers. And I slept with a heating pad. When I mentioned the change to my Dr. He was 'kind' but clear that it was just another thing only in my…

I went for another walk/jog. Wow it is a different and rather painful sensation when your muscles haven't done that in seven months! But, it is lovely to be outside in the warm air! Susan

I did well with calories yesterday but was double the carbs! That usually make me gain 2 lbs .... Yikes! Anyway, I plan to enjoy her and stay as…

I have found that it is extremely difficult to figure out which of many food items or vitamins cause distress. Perhaps you could try to cut out all milk and the magnesium for a few days, and then only add one back in to see if you get a reaction. I hope that you find the culprit soon!

LOVE the skulls. All of my pot holders have hearts! My Mom makes them for me!

Hi, Geeze, Isabelle! I wish your neck was healing MUCH faster! Does icing it help reduce the pain? I exercised and stayed in my calories yesterday but not today. It feels like I am derailed but a one day thing cannot be a streak! So, I need to get out of my head and out of my own way and have a strong day tomorrow. With a…

Hi, I ended up with an unplanned rest day. Not really an issue of a time crunch more of an energy and mental block. But I'll be back in the pool tomorrow morning and looking forward to the temperature rising later in the week and maybe a walk outside! Take care Susan

As A person who is new to the LCHF diet, I am interested in seeing what the community thinks of this Op Ed. I have had a great amount of success over the last month combining LCHF and intermittent fasting so I have no intention of dropping my current diet to go back to starving on a low-fat regimen that does not allow me…

Cheers for Friday! Kris - your love of Friday is infectious. I like the idea of running/walking barefoot but I cannot quite imagine actually trying to do it! I love that you have a great time on your adventure run. Isabelle. Did I understand correctly? You got a knitting injury? Be careful with your neck I hope it feels…

As part of my journey to better health/weight, I am trying to take a more holistic approach. So I am committing to do the new 21 day meditation challenge with Oprah/Deepak Chopra. https://chopracentermeditation.com/experience It is free and the topic is "Manifesting True Success." The centering thought for today is: "I…

Hi all, We are having another wonderful weekend. We were able to see the concert that ended my son's music festival yesterday. And spend some quality time with my husband/love of my life. I also managed to stairmaster and do some light weights. Today is a rest day for me. This is mostly due to family scheduling. But it is…

OH Girls! I just did this 10 min yoga 'workout' for happiness. LOL! The instructor is crazy fun. This does not require workout clothing or preparation. Try it. It will make you smile! http://youtu.be/m7UZv9zt1b4 Namasté, Susan

Hi everyone! Isabel! Welcome back! So happy that you had a nice vacation and good long healthy walks. Today was a swimming day for me but then I got an added bonus of a walk with a girlfriend this afternoon. I am a bit over in calories but it should not be anything disastrous. Hoping all the swimming and walking will…

Yeah! For the treadmill,Kris! Did you get to use it? Run! Girl, Run! Soak up some warm Rays for us Alsia! Your family visit sounds wonderful. We had a great weekend. Nothing exciting, just chill family time and a great walk with Hubby and puppy. I did well with food and exercise. My ratios were off today but calories are…

Alisa, I love the Christmas "when I want it" idea! The kiddos will be over the moon! What a wonderful Grandmother you are. I am going to put that idea in my pocket in case I ever make it to grandmahood. Shoveling is going to be my activity for today. I tried to get to the pool but the roads were just too terrible.…

Another snow day! Wow. This has been a tough 2 months of weather! On a fun note I got a super cute shamrock to hang on the front door. It looks great in the snow! :p Stuck in the basement on the dreaded stair master again today. But I did 45 mins and then 15 of weights. My temporary 'fast' is over but I still find it…

Good night all! I had a good day with nutrition and exercise. I hope everyone is feeling well tomorrow! S

This is a good, strong thread to log into today! We are all hoping for good news from you Marissa! Wow. Alisa you have had a hard time with this flu. You really should take it easy while you get back on your feet. Kris, your words are very timely and appreciated. In a very low moment yesterday, I would have given up if…

Thanks for starting the thread today. I am successfully staying with the plan and hoping for some success in regard to my weight. I am taking a rest day today and will be able to swim tomorrow morning. It is very cold here, I am looking forward to be outdoors sometime soon! My puppy is really missing our walks.

Good afternoon, I love the shower workout idea - but cannot quite imagine it! Vicky - Grats on the jeans! We all need to look for wins like that! Isabelle - You made me stand up straighter! Kris - I am with you. I am looking forward to the day that I can comfortable wear my 'fat' jeans! Keep on Trucking' All! Susan

Hi all, I have experienced an odd and terrifying weight gain the last two days even though I have met or exceeded all of my goals. I am so desperate to lose weight that even these totally normal fluctuations make my head spin! I had a great workout this morning and am totally on plan for eating today so hopefully I will be…
-
Good evening all! I met my goals today and can only hope for improvements to follow. As you discussed, it is NOT all about the scale but with the determination to keep going, we hope to see success!
-
Good Morning! Isabelle - I have been taking your advise about eating up to 1200 calories per/day and I finally made it official and edited my goals in MFP. The scale has been moving down so I could not be happier! I got in a great swim this morning and plan some yoga time after grocery shopping today. My fingers are…

Alisa~I am so happy for you!
