Today I am at 196.4lbs, up a little more than 5 lbs. I know I ate way to much in general and went way over my carbs on Sunday and Monday. I have been back on track since yesterday and should see things starting to move back down by tomorrow. I'm sure it will take several days since there is likely a little fat gained as…

I binged on sugar this weekend right along with you. The benefit of this woe is that, aside from some minor abdominal distress this morning, I am right back on track. I have had nothing but tasty and satisfying LCHF foods today and am not even close to craving sugar or junk. I have no intention of going that far off the…

I have been experiencing this as well, and I have dry eye issues off and on. I am using more eye drops lately. It does seem to be improving so hopefully it will let up soon.

I had a big, high carb evening myself, but it was home made cheesecake and it was divine. Drinking lots of water tonight and hitting the gym tomorrow morning to help burn off the extra glycogen. I'm treating it like a refeed before I start my strength program, lol. *edited for silly spell check.

I feel so much more in control of my relationship with food. Yesterday our new boss at work ordered pizza, which I wasn't even tempted by. However, he told me he specially ordered a gluten free pizza for me because he heard I have an allergy. I didn't want to seem ungrateful so I had 2 small slices, previously I would have…

Great job! You look really healthy.

Eat pickles, feel better :)

Good morning and welcome back. I weigh myself every day, too, so you won't get any arguments from me. I like having the information and having a graph with a lot of data points. Are you taking into consideration the extra calories you are burning by producing milk? I know that if you go to your food diary and search…

Good morning!! SW 251.8 Last Week 192.4 Today 191.6 (Down 60 lbs!!!!!) My goal is to be down to 175 by Thanksgiving, that means I have 12 weeks to lose 16.6lbs. I think that's very do-able. I hope everyone is having a Happy Hump Day!!

Take a look at this thread. It offers great information about body recomposition. I think you'll find it helpful. Best of luck!! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10177803/recomposition-maintaining-weight-while-losing-fat#latest

Welcome back! I think having short term goals is a good way to help you refocus. Good plan and best of luck.

I like having the ability to customize my macros or set different calorie goals for different days. It was also a benefit to not have to deal with the adds (of course I found out later that there is a free add blocker you can download)

Sounds like you improvised and avoided a major sugar incident. 17g carbs is better by far than what it could have been.

Yesterday I went to the beach with my hubby and our friends. While they were eating Subway sandwiches with chips and trail mix I was enjoying a couple of turkey burgers cooked in olive oil and a bag of salted peanuts. For dinner we went to a buffet and I stuck with meats, low carb veggies and sugar free dessert. I'm sure I…

Sounds like a good plan. Listen to your body, you know it best. Just a suggestion, spinach is an electrolyte powerhouse which you can enjoy for very few net carbs. It has all 4; sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Saute it up with some salted butter and have some for dinner. That might help, too.

I'm sorry to hear that you went through that. It's tough sometimes when other people don't understand that we don't all react to carbohydrates in the same way. Some people can eat just a reasonable portion and move on, for many of us that's just not how it works. You have to listen to your body and do what makes you feel…

I am also taking Effexor XR and had absorption issues. Last week I had a binge on non gluten free food that then lead my body to purge it for me. I had very quick intestinal emptying for about 2 days. During that time I am sure my Effexor, along with all of my electrolytes, were not sticking around. I ended up with a…

@niblue. Yahooooo! You are amazing!

Pizza, I feel like I don't have an off switch when eating it.

I agree with the posters above. I also try to be sure I communicate my needs to my hubby and he is really receptive. If he wants to go out to eat we'll go, but I explain that I don't have enough calories to enjoy and appetizer and a meal so I will focus on my healthy meal. He can be free to order whatever he wants. We also…

It is full of wonderful resources and very helpful people. Be sure to take time to read the stickies, especially the Launch Pad. It has a wealth of information that has been amazing.

Me too! I went out for dinner last night and had a mouth watering lobster and avocado salad. It was so rich and delicious and completely fit into the WOE.

@coopscoopc - Welcome. I'm getting back into Keto myself. I tried gluten free, low carb pancakes last night. They were fun and tasty, not exactly 'cakey' but very good. 2tbsp cream cheese 2 eggs 1tsp sweetenter (I used 10 drops stevia liquid) 1/2 tsp cinnamon blended in my ninja blender and cooked in butter. I didn't use…

I'll check it out, thank you! I know I don't have Hashimoto's. I was actually diagnosed when I was 8 years old. I grew up with my Mom always limiting salt for her own reasons. Because I that I believe I was always low on iodine. I have found that with adding even a small amount of iodized salt over the past few years that…

I read this last night, it was really beneficial.

After living for so long with high blood pressure I have been really afraid of sodium. I'm so happy I am getting over that. In addition, because I am trying to use iodized salt whenever possible I may be doing my thyroid function a favor. We'll see what the doc has to say in November when I get my blood work done again.
