MyFitnessPal got rid of the daily newsfeed this summer. It's a real letdown as I enjoyed communicating with "my band" of merry fitness warriors.

@Lady_Magenta Just before you joined MyFitnessPal took away the daily chat and automatic updates between friends. You can still message friends, but what good does that do? I've made my thoughts known on the Playstore reducing my previous 5 stars to 3. Hang in there. Maybe if enough people complain. the functionality will…

@AmyDahlTorres, I don't even tempt myself with "am I strong enough to leave the fries on the plate?" I just replace right off the bat with a side salad, fresh green vegetable or even onion rings, which are at least lower in carbs. I know that feeling of having an elevated blood glucose reading and getting a text asking if…

@tyxjfq4fv8 I loved your post. I also reversed my diabetes in 2019 through eating a keto (low carb) diet. You nailed it on the fruit consumption based on sugar content. You were killing me however, when you talked about white rice. White rice has 44 grams of carbs per CUP! Have you considered riced cauliflower? Riced…

Whatever you do, don't buy the bread through Amazon. The reviews are terrible (go see for yourself). I've been making mug bread from coconut flour, egg and butter. Next I'm going to attempt to make an entire loaf of bread. Cooking from scratch tastes better and is certainly cheaper.

I use a powdered creamer called Rapidfire Ketogenic Creamer. It has MCT Oil and "grass fed" butter and is only $14.99 from GNC. The creamer is also available at CVS, Target and through Amazon. https://www.gnc.com/ketogenic/139807.html?cgid=ketogenic

Sounds like you have a plan. Are you watching any of the folks on YouTube? One thing that I am doing is using Intermittent Fasting and eating all of my calories in only an 8 hour window (i.e., 16 hours are spent not eating/ working out). I started following Thomas Delauer on YouTube if you would like to know more.

I thought the same thing and then came upon the ideal of mixing the powder with unsweetened coconut milk in a blender instead of water. A little Stevia and some cinnamon and mmm...mmm good!

Congratulations! You're making fantastic progress. I'm right behind you at age 59 so I might be calling you for that assistance! 😊

Wow, that is an awesome story. I started Keto in July of this year and was diagnosed as diabetic in August. Fortunately my blood sugar level was back to normal and my doctor just said "keep doing what you're doing." 50 lbs. is an awesome weight loss! Congratulations.

If you haven't done so, please get checked out by your doctor. If being out of breath after a couple of flights of stairs is new to you, something could be wrong. Don't take any chances with your health.

SW: 280 (Apr 2019) CW: 260 GW: 230 No goal in mind for September, lets see where Keto and exercise takes me. The needle didn't move in the first week. We'll see if I make progress by the beginning of next week. I did get three workouts in so far this week. Still no change in weight. I increased my number of workouts but I…

Have you tried the coconut milk creamers by So Delicious? The creamer only has 4 grams of carbs per 1 Tbls serving. That might do the trick for you https://sodeliciousdairyfree.com/dairy-free-foods/dairy-free-creamers/organic-coconutmilk-creamers/.

I use this powdered creamer called Rapidfire Ketogenic Creamer that's half the price of the other name brands. It has butter, MCT oil and Himalayan salt and tastes a lot lighter than cream. If you're after a sweet taste then try Coconut Creamer by So Delicious.

You can use the 'Recipe'function in MFP. Just create a new recipe and add each ingredient. You then tell the app how many servings are in the recipe and viola! success. You don't have that many ingredients so it should be fairly quick.

Thank you @Serendipity0913 for organizing this competition. Let the games begin! :)

As we age our metabolisms begin to slow down and we aren't so quick to bounce back. You sound like your doing all of the right things by staying active, working out and maintaining a positive attitude. Have you considered weighing your food? Perhaps you are underestimating the number of calories that you are eating and…

What's your Garmin Connect name? Mine is my name Ernest Rodgers

I'm glad that we connected Cheryl. I don't know if I mentioned it to you before but my wife's maiden name is Dumas. I like you already :-)

No, but I heard it's a great way to lose weight huffingtonpost.ca/natasha-turner-nd/sleeping-naked_b_3381630.html

Why don't you just try substituting some vegan cheese instead of the cow's milk variety?

I'm jealous :-) But I have to say, my "one-year" battery is still going strong 18 months later.

I bet your aunt's dog is in great shape too ☺ May God continue to bless your Mom. Your story is inspirational.

@pooky73 How's are you liking the Vivofit3?
