At my official weigh in yesterday I was down one pound to 213. That was nice. My lowest true reading since starting. Don't know what it will be tomorrow, but I'll take it. Since April 1st I"ve been consistently between 214 & 216 so a dip down 1lbs doesn't give me confidence, but it does give me hope. I'm not counting…

lol yeah, I realized after I wrote that, maybe others may feel judged. OUR baseboards need to be washed because we have a big ol dog with lots of hair that we take to the dog park almost religiously to run around. And the dog park happens to be a former sand pit. Well, it still is a sand pit, just repurposed as a dog park.…

OMG octobubbles, that's awesome!

Down. I wish it would move down. - Just thought I should qualify that statement. And.. not that anyone will be judging my house keeping, I have been washing the floors, just not as well as I'd like, just with a mop.

@wheatlessgirl66 I hear you loud and clear. I feel the same way. My pants are "slightly" looser but that's all I can say. I haven't seen any of the dramatic energy gains or any loss in 3 weeks. I'm very impatient as I have to stand in a wedding this summer. However, what keeps me faithful is that for the first time in my…

Although I know this would not be a forever WOE for me (I like my variety and coconut in my fat bombs) I would also be up for the challenge. I've been on the April challenge and haven't noticed any changes at all really so.... This would actually be a challenge and maybe I'd stop having cheese for supper! THEN I might see…

lol, glad you not only found a solution, but an awesome one at that.

I have eaten a fair share of wild game in my life as well (also in Canada) but I have to say the BEST meat I've ever eaten is seal. Very hard to get unless you live out there and know someone but ooh la la! It has almost no fat (the fat is a separate layer on them) and cuts like butter.

To the tonsil people. That's really interesting. I'm extremly curious to see how LC might affect my other mysterious ailments. ;) I had strep throat and tonsilitis so bad that they took mine out. My glands would swell so bad at that time you could see them sticking out of my neck like some bearded dragon thing. I'd drool…

bhahaha! Go go gurrrl! (think I'll go get me some of them too) Rawr!

ok ok ok! I get it. You folks are wonderful. Thank you for your patience. Those that have been around a while have probably seen similar posts over and over. Too many great things to quote here. In my defense... my mfp graph is a little skewed. The timeline I wrote is more accurate. So my frustration comes from a super…

Yeah. That. *rolling my eyes* Just 'cause he's a doctor....dunn't mean he knows what he's talking about.

I would try it just fot the heck of it. Just to see. I think I might go a little squirrely though. I don't think there would be enough variety to keep me happy. I like my coconut oil and my coconut in my fat bombs. But I would still (and my yet) give it a go at some point.

I'm intrigued by this phenomena. I'm noticing that as well. I actually went up a pound (consistently) but my clothes feel noticeably bigger and people are suddenly noticing weight loss. Even though my (recent) total is only about 10lbs. Weird.

And we'll take FIT_goat for the win ;) That's not what I read, but I can't source where I read it, and that seems pretty official so. I'll go with that. :) I stand corrected.

I say phooey to the doctor! You're doing awesome! 40lbs is no small feat! Way to go. You'll get there in your own time. I'm of the mind that portion sizes should adjust themselves when your body is ready as long as you're mindful and willing. Don't force it. Doctors really don't know everything. If portion size was all…

Then I suggest doing some research. The more you know, the more likely you are to succeed. I second, or is that third the macro thing. Don't be intimidated, you can do it. To help set macros (not out of thin air) a lot of people use this keto calculator. http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/ or will set them by percentages…

well maybe consider today a right off and start with more fats in the morning. Such as a BPC OR add MORE butter to your BPC, more than normal. just a thought if that's all you have on hand.

thanks! I'm sure I can figure some thing out along those lines. Yeah, that would be a good option. I didn't mean to sound challenging at all with my nutrition comment. It was more a rhetorical question. :smile: The soylent, for anyone who's interested has no relation to the soylent green most people know about. The…

OMG! We just had pizza that would totally fool you. Especially if you like cheese and thin crust. I started with a recipe from... reddit? I think. but the crust was kinda soggy, didn't hold up. We do like thin, crunchy crust so here's what I did! CRUST 2 (packed) cups shredded mozzerella cheese 2 teaspoons (approximately)…

I find it interesting when you say "all your nutrition". Given that some people eat only meat, some meat, eggs and cheese.... what does that even mean any more? I did try this thing called Soylent a while back and the non keto version was pretty darned good IMO if you get a good recipe. I may look into the keto version. I…

I wish I could just live on fat bombs.

Hi! We've got an april challenge going on, no pressure. Not everyone is doing it of course, but have a look through the messages if you want to join or just watch the experiments of others for the month of April.

I wasn't home this morning so I don't have an official weigh in. However, I ate whatever I wanted (read:was served) at Easter dinner, (lasagna, tiramisu, ice cream, wine and an entire bag of chocolate eggs). I weighed myself on their scale the morning we got there. The next morning registered 8 pounds heavier!! Left this…

WoW! so for the sake of brevity.... Just "did" EAster. Ate what was served at in-laws. (lasagna) Had absolutely no emotional response to it!! Didn't particularly enjoy the chocolate eggs but couldn't stop eating them. Very odd sensation. Next morning scale registered 8 pound increase! Two mornings after that scare…

Wow! Scarry! I have similar symptoms in the afternoon. Not so bad that people have to come and find me but often I'll be driving and think "Whoa, I'm totally not *here*. I really shouldn't be driving". I can't focus. My head hurts. I can completely forget what I was doing in less than 2 seconds. Only figuring it out based…

Huh. Very interesting. Good points. Thanks for posting.

I have CFS and sugar was always my "go to". For two reasons. You feel tired. So, your body naturally thinks "Gee we need more energy". In society that natural go to for energy is high carb. Second part: high carb, in particularly sugar, increases dopamine in the brain. It's like a hit of cocoaine. (only smaller) But…

wow. A whole goat or cow. I don't even know where you would do that around here. Not that my freezer is big enough anyway. Cool.

Yep. Same here KnitOrMiss I would be happy with a one pound change. My body constantly goes back and forth up to 6 or 7 pounds depending on what's going on. Mostly sodium and water intake for me. But yeah. I can make my body lose almost 10lbs in a few days if I have to (not that I ever would have to) but I know it's all…
