Just to clarify, do you mean fat loss is stalled while muscle is built, or do you mean weight loss?

The editor I worked with encouraged me to sort of "start over" (he said we can use existing parts where appropriate), and in doing so I've sort of "what if"d my way into a totally different story. I'm trying to NOT work on it for a day and see what my brain says about salvaging the original story. My dad is most…

I started tracking again, just because I can tell my pants are getting tighter and what not. Gaining weight from strength training is one thing, gaining weight because of all those veggies I've been having is another! Valentine's was easy peasy. I made a low carb cheesecake and my husband made Chicken Piccata with almond…

I've been in the habit of just spreading cheese on parchment paper and adding my toppings to that (no sauce, tomato sauce makes my body unhappy). I roll it up to eat it. I do LOVE the fathead pizza crust, but I am wary of any food that I have to emphatically say I LOVE. Plus I'm super low carb so the fathead pizza crust…

This sounds absolutely awful. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Insomnia doesn't exactly make something like this any easier to deal with. I'm sure you've already tried it, but I just read today (on an author blog I follow, totally unrelated) that hot compresses can help. I also like the idea of the chamomile,…

Skipped dinner last night, as predicted, after a fathead pizza binge at lunch. Had a small breakfast this morning. Hubs and I are having our Valentine's date today for lunch (do not want to deal with crowds for dinner). Then haircuts and a bit of mall walking, then tucking in for the rest of the weekend because…

There are so many delicious fat bomb recipes out there, but the longer I eat this way, the less I feel I need to have these faux sweets to stay happy. Nothing like a nice dinner and then a cup of coffee after.

Cream sauce for the fish! :) I love hollandaise on salmon, and butter sauces on white fish.

Took 2 pounds of 80% lean ground beef last night and fried it in some avocado oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a touch of oregano. Added cholula chipotle sauce. Then dumped in the remainder of a head of cabbage I slivered up earlier in the week. It didn't quite taste as 'taco salad'…

I've got it down to a system. And I like to use a different recipe (adapted by Brian of Ketovangelist): In one glass bowl: 1.5 cups almond flour 2 eggs dried parsley, oregano, garlic powder I use a potato masher to mix it to a homogeneous state before I try to mix in the cheese. (What else am I gonna use a potato masher…

My father stopped eating the fathead pizza. He complained, "One piece fills me up and I can't eat half the pie like I want to." Umm.. Okay. o_O

Yesterday by the end of the work day the inflammation I had in my gut seemed to have faded after a day of flushing a lot of water. Not sure what caused it in the first place, either the dehydration from the day before, the asparagus, or both. Last night we made fathead pizza, and I did not eat half the pie like my mouth…

At least he still seems to prefer Fathead pizza to traditional, and his stomach taught him a hard lesson about two cheat meals in one day. That's kinda actually progress. It just pains me to see him eating ~150g carbs per day and hating every minute of it, when I really believe he'd find more comfort in far less.

Some emojis work but it's better to just use the text versions and let the board software convert it to an equivalent if it has one. ; ) and : ) and : O and so on (without the spaces)

Sounds about right! Awesome!

I like body weight exercises and weights. You may think that cardio will help you lose weight, but for me it just makes me more likely to eat more!

Total carbs, for sure. I've heard the rationale that there are probably carbs you DON'T know about somewhere in what you're eating (either because of bad MFP data, bad product labeling practices, or natural foods without nutritional labels), so in effect you count total carbs to cover yourself for the ones you didn't…

If he found him on his own, it would. But if I suggest it, he's in the mental state of mind right now where he's not looking for my input, yanno?

Happy Mardi Gras everyone! Remember not to give up chocolate, with Valentine's coming up this weekend. ;) Ugh, yesterday got totally thrown off by the water supply at work running out. The water delivery scheduled for yesterday never showed up because of the snow (I assume). I had a killer headache and an awful mood when I…

His sodium at least, I'm sure. He takes a daily chelated magnesium glyconate, but he keeps turning his nose up at foods with proper levels of sodium and fat. And he drinks a lot of water.

This week I am continuing to avoid cream (but not cheese or butter because I eat them in relatively small amounts), I'm adding back in a few veggies to see what happens, and I'm adding in exercise (weights, elliptical, and body weight). That's going to be too many changes to see what might affect my size reduction goals,…

Oh Mami you reminded me. I surpassed my 5K step goal three days in a row (Fri - Sun) so I'm upping my goal to 6K today. Of course now I'm back to work and the weather will keep us in tonight so I may have to get on the elliptical to get there. But that's not a bad thing! I also plan to start weight training again today.…

Yep our grocery stores here don't actually have any unpackaged meat. They can open a package of meat and repack it for you if you want, but they can't get you a cut that isn't already in their cold storage. Shameful! Luckily there's a butcher in town but it's very small (the walk-in is no bigger than the one we had when I…

Is that wrapped in cabbage? That's brilliant!! I wish my cabbage at home wasn't all shredded up for slaw right now!

Congrats on the 40 lb mark!! I can't wait to get there (because it's pretty much my goal)! Husband not only ate the bun, he ate the large fries, the small onion rings, and drank the large cherry vanilla coke. Yeah. He doesn't cave in to Burger King and then not go to town on his old comfort foods. :/ Our snow has already…

We did end up watching the game (well, three quarters of it, what a boring game!), so I made some last minute items: buffalo wings, guacamole, and 'unrolled' egg rolls. I served nachos and salsa with the guac, and made myself some cheese crisps to have in place of the corn chips (major trigger for me). I definitely…

Still not excelling at listening to my hunger cues. Ate a lot, socially, this weekend. All low carb, most ZC, but still in direct defiance of my stomach which said it was perfectly content. Was extremely tempted to weigh myself this morning, to "assess the damage" of the weekend, but convinced myself it wouldn't be worth…

So yesterday's fasting went really well. I had black coffee for breakfast, a 2K Americano for lunch, and then when I got home I dove into some pepperoni and cheeses (colby jack slices, then cream cheese) while I was making Chicken Bombs for dinner. Didn't finish my chicken bomb. Then had a 2K Americano for dessert and…

My Mexican Coffee: Cup of my normal coffee (usually 16 oz of a locally roasted Mexican blend with Hazelnut flavoring) 0.5 - 1 tbsp of Dark Chocolate (pure cacao) powder Your fats (kerrygold butter and/or coconut oil for me, you can do HWC if you want) Mix all the above together with a frothing wand so the chocolate powder…
