My grandson and I had a great visit with my mom and brothers over the 4th. They all live in East Texas, a 2 1/2 hour drive. I went off my eating plan to enjoy my mom's homemade peach cobbler. It was wonderful. Lenora, I have a recommendation for your visit to Waco. I took my mom last year and we spent a good portion of a…

The update to the Nokia app was very buggy. It took the 3rd version of the new app before my Steel HR would sync to the app. I have the Body Cardio scale and it continues to update to MFP with no problem.

I have an instant pot and used the link below to make yogurt. The process does include boiling the milk. You can control how tangy the yogurt is by the incubation time. The incubation can be set from 8 hrs to either 16 or 24 ( I can't recall which). I used commercial Greek yogurt as a starter. I did freeze portions from…

The chart wasn't allowed to post. Here is an example for a female at 4' 11": Protein 79 grams, Carbs 20 grams and Fat range of 59-138 grams. To lose weight choose fat in the lower range, to maintain in the middle range and to gain the upper range.

Italiana_xx79 the plan that made the most sense to me is from Optimal Ketogenic Living- a Facebook group. Macros are measured in grams rather than percentages and are based on your height. Carbs and Fat are a limit and Protein is a goal. More protein can be added for satiety. This plan is for nutritional Keto not medical.…

Hello everybody! Happy Father's Day to all the fathers in your families. I am my missing mine today. I was the only girl out of 5 children, so we had a special bond. We lost him in 2013 to cancer. Janet and Michelle - so sorry for your family losses and ill health. Pip - congratulations on the wins. Lisa - Love your art…

I have utilized my pool more so far this summer than since I moved into the house 6 years ago. I am comfortable in my swim shorts and tankini tops around family and friends.

DJ, yes the grandkids live 15 minutes from me. I picked them up this evening and we had a great time in the pool. Madison is fearless and just laughed and giggled when she got splashed by her brother. Cathy, Arlington, TX

Hello, I am looking forward to the weekend. Lunch with friends on Saturday and then a visit from the grandkids. I have 7 weeks left until retirement. One full week of vacation the week of July 4th. I had enough vacation days left to take every Monday off until I leave. So every weekend is a 3 day weekend. Weight loss has…

You are welcome, anytime. Yogurt is a good snack. I get the oikos triple zero yogurt and add 1 scoop of isopure whey isolate protein powder. Another protein I use is Premier Protein shakes from Costco (Walmart also carries this brand.) I sometimes add the vanilla flavor to my coffee instead of creamer. I don't really enjoy…

@CommanderEmily I did do the prep days, but didn't eat more than I normally did and tried to cut out sugar. I did and still do take a fiber supplement daily. I used the Lindora protein bars as one snack each day and limited the bars to one a day. String cheese or boiled egg were other snacks. I stuck to 2 snacks a day -…

I really enjoyed the first day of a 4 day weekend. Spent most of the day outside cleaning and enjoying the pool. Scrubbed the tile and grout. I love crepe myrtles and have 6 of them in the small backyard, but they really can put a lot of debris in the pool. My daughter an granddaughter dropped by for a bit. They didn't…

@CommanderEmily I was very successful following the Lean for Life program from the book. There are 2 versions of the book. I prefer the first version. It is organized like a workbook. You read and follow a chapter a day. It is a Keto diet. Carbs are limited. It is low fat and low calorie. One day a week is strictly protein…

Hello everyone, I hope to get to know you all and join in the motivation and support. My name is Cathy and I live in Arlington, TX. I am 64 and at 4'11" weight has been an ongoing issue since my early 20's. I have yo-yoed 50-60 lbs numerous times. I was at an all time high of 175 lbs in Sept 2016. In the past my high wold…

My results from the challenge are good. I dropped 5 1/2 lbs, 2 1/2% body fat and moved from overweight to normal classification. Thanks Mary!

I hit a milestone today - I have lost 50 lbs since Sept 2016. I weighed 125.4 this morning. Lost 3.3 lbs s far on this challenge. With 1 more lost lb I will move out of the "overweight" category. I am fasting today - nothing to eat since 7 last night. Not by choice, I have a colonoscopy scheduled tomorrow morning. I am…

@fanncy0626 You are so close. I have 22 lbs of fat left to lose. I have a feeling building muscle is harder than losing the fat.

@fanncy0626 What did you buy? Smaller sizes?

Hello all, Mary, thanks so much for starting this challenge. I had slacked off and hadn't worked out in a month. Today, was the 4th day in a row I have stuck to my workout plan, alternating strength training and run/walk. Today was a 35 minute run/walk with intervals of 3 minutes of running and 2 minutes of walking. Food…

Day 2: Down .5 lbs, food on plan, workout this morning - weight training. I had a tooth (molar) pulled Friday. Instructions were to eat soft food. In the past that would have meant ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Instead I had protein shakes and homemade yogurt. I did hesitate a few minutes in front of the Halo…

My goal is fat loss/muscle preservation. Macros 20 c, 59 f and 79 p, 9% c, 57% f and 34% p for a calorie total of 927.

Check out the cookbook "Cooking Keto with Kristie" by Kristie Huneycutt Sullivan or her you tube videos for great recipes for cookies, muffins and casseroles. The sweetener Sukrin is used in many of the sweet treats.

I prepped meals for the week today. Boiled eggs and ground turkey with sausage seasoning for breakfast. Chicken salad made with homemade mayonnaise, Whisps and avocado for lunches. Macros: 20 C, 53 F and 73 P.
