No way, I'm always super nice when I have to call places. I worked in a call center as one of my first jobs, in collections, so I sympathize.

I was rude to someone on the phone this morning. I had explained several times why I wasn't interested in their job offer due to the time constraints - they wanted me to leave in 2 weeks out of state to do 2 weeks of training at corporate (all expense paid at least) and I just can't swing it due to family obligations and…

I don't drink any kind of milk. I don't like soy or almond, and regular milk does not mesh well internally. To each their own for whatever reason.

I actually never said you did say that either. The general 2000 calorie a day diet was a generalized statement - ie for someone of average height and weight and I suggested the keto calculator to help adjust for the OP's size and weight. I actually said that before you even replied in the thread. I totally get the…

That's the OP's statement, and it being a rant she said she's thinking that she should just drop to 500 a day. I took that as more of a "what else can I do" as a frustrated statement. I think you read my 700-800 calorie response because I do have days where that's all I can force down. But it evens out with other days…

Feel free to link it, I don't mind a little thread jacking, especially in the name of science!

Except private messages aren't shared with the world. I find lots of things via google that are in this group. But I'm done. I'm glad I could get some insight from someone helpful out of it, other than snack ideas.

Well my apologies if you don't like that I asked for the sake of my children, since Sunny had mentioned benefits being something she had discovered and I had more questions. I thought that was the idea of a forum was to have candid discussions, and I "discovered" something new and potentially beneficial from this thread.

brown or blue is just dependent on the chicken breed. Think of the farm fresh eggs like this, whatever she is feeding them shows up in the eggs. Commercial eggs are from very junk fed chickens, I'm not sure about free range but my guess is their diet is a bit better. Store bought bags of chicken feed are junk. It's the…

I only suggested that because 1400 calories for someone her (and my height) really isn't much of a deficit at all, especially if she is sedentary. It's right around 100 calories, which while it is a deficit, probably won't be a lot to actually make that lying SOB scale dip at all. A slow increase could very well be…

Maybe a bigger calorie deficit? I am around your height (1 inch taller) and my resting calories (keto calculator) is something like 1560. I voluntarily dropped it to 1200 for me and I'm seeing a lot of weight loss. I'm also on week 3 in on this and have lost significantly. So, my thought is that it's not your counting,…

That's a great win all4koi! I went the whole day without any foundation make up yesterday. Because I no longer have acne. The real win is not having cystic acne anymore. That stuff is so miserable.

Thanks Ladipoet - we have a sprouts locally. It's a long drive as it's not on my side of the city so I've never been. I wish we had a whole foods or trader joes! A city this size you'd expect one of those, (450,000 people) but no. We have Costco and Sam's. I may get it on Amazon, I have Prime. I'm actually surprised our…

Maybe it's a nutrient in the farm fresh eggs? I buy from a small farmer and their eggs are so much better (haven't had commercial eggs in months) some breeds of chickens produce richer eggs than others. Store bought white large are usually from leghorns, the ones I get are from Aricana (sp) blue eggs, and some brown eggs.…

This is an excellent point. If you have a pet, look at what is in their food. Cheaper foods have lots of fillers (wheat, corn, etc) and there are studies showing that it's not good for dogs. If it's not good for my family dog, which eats leftover scraps also, why would I eat it or feed it to my loved ones? My thought for…

Bingo. I'm always on the go, constantly cleaning (4 kids = lots of messes) and still fat. The task-ersize woman was nuts.

I always kind of wondered if they felt different with being distracted and whatnot. Today is day 1 of adderall for my son so we'll see how it goes on the 5 mg. His teacher is going to keep me in the loop on how he functions all day. Did a recruiter tell her that? If so, find a new recruiter to talk to. Denying it is a…

Adderall XR is what the doc gave him today to give a try. 5 MG for the first week, up to 10 next week if he's still super off task. My daughter takes the Concerta 18 mg daily without issues. Luckily, my sons teacher also has ADHD and is very sympathetic and patient with him while we're figuring out what works. I feel bad…

I did mention keeping up with electrolytes is important or you feel like crap. I didn't know when I started and had the "flu" for 2 days. I honestly thought I was sick with a virus. Then I read someone elses thread and drank a big glass of chicken broth and watched my flu go away in under 20 minutes, lol.

Friday BP 111/74 (stressed and very irritated) Today's BP: 105/73 - yes! I looked through my records, and October 2014 @ 187 lbs my BP was 125/88 so big time improvement!

You could definitely do that. I don't mind the aspartame flavor as much as I do many of the other sugar free substitutes. I hate Stevia with a passion of 100 fiery suns. This was great value brand for the peach, I haven't found "Jello" in a peach flavor at the store. It's actually very mildly sweet. I'm not much on…

Lithezebra, do you know what to? We think mine might have been caused by dish soap but were never able to confirm it. I tossed out everything that was new to our house, and now I test dish soap at the store ( before I buy it, I put some straight on my hand, and walmart is next to the hospital, lol) Whatever it is, I hope…

Sunny, how does that work for the ADHD. I have 2 children with ADHD that take medication. The older of the two hasn't been having a good run with meds so far, as he suffers depression when using it (Concerta 18 mg). We just switched him to another at his appt this morning, but what are your thoughts as an addition to his…

^ Same. Know what your grams are before you add in exercise and keep the carbs under your goal. I hate how it adds in all these "extra" things you can eat. I've learned that I just don't add in my exercise on here so it doesn't readjust for me.

Sorry it's late and I didn't feel like posing it and digging out the good camera, so phone camera will have to do. It stays pretty well, my kids took some for lunch this morning. Here's the stats from MFP: Peaches and cream jello, 2 serving(s) 140 3 13 1 80 0 It's probably lower than that, as it made 16 squares and I only…

Me too, with the squeegee bucket and all. I mop all my floors once a week (kitchen gets the shark steam mop every night) and using that huge sopping wet mop is a work out. I have to take breaks.

Coconut and Almond flour,. I knew it existed, but I thought it was some hippy stuff...I bought some of each today, lol. Also I discovered that while I can buy my favorite Cabot cheese online and have it shipped, it is much easier to wait until this summer and just go to their creamery in VT to get my favorites. Horseradish…

Haha, all you can say when they try that hard and fail is "well you tried honey". I don't dare let my husband grocery shop without me, we'd have tons of fries, chips, and no real food.

Some of us under 40 get it too...LARRY!

No joke about the floors. You know what else gets them clean and exerts energy? Using a industrial wet mop. THen again I don't have any carpet so I do the whole house and that is a workout! lol
