Good gracious cheekbones...

If you have ever watched a bodybuilding documentary they load up on honeybuns and horrible sugar and carb loaded crap before going on stage. It makes them look bigger and increases vascularity but for a short term. It will go away on its own Hulkster :smile:

Toasted slice of keto bread from KetoConnect website with butter or Justins peanut butter. And of course a couple cups of coffee with cream.

Welcome! How did you start your first day? I went a little off the wagon yesterday, 42 carbs...yikes! But I only ate about 1500 calories so I don't really feel bad about it. And it wasn't even bad stuff, I added coleslaw and some bbq sauce on a chicken leg. MFP tells me "you'd be 219lbs in 5 weeks if you keep eating like…

47 here (forgot to mention my age) being forgetful could have to do with...age?

Not sure if I said hi in this one or not...soooo...HI! :smiley:

You seem like a good soul @elize7, keep on keeping on! This week, I added 2 tbsp of peanut butter per night to my diet. Its the little things that keep me happy :smile:

Hi, as of today 16 lbs down. Started as a new year resolution. I do a lot of cooking, recipes are getting better and I'm getting smarter! Welcome :smile:

Did you ever read the 5 Love Languages? Did wonders for my relationship.

Hey I'll help any way I can. There are always peaks and valleys right? Try lean proteins like chicken breast, Turkey and fish. I backed off how many hamburgers I eat for lean turkey meatballs.

I want to be on that train! :)

Sugar free jello cups with fresh made whip cream. I also bought some phat fudge but it aint cheap.

If I had 3 guesses I would have gotten that profession :smiley:

What did you tweak? I'm curious what adjusted up or down to ignite the process again.

Hi, I'm about a month and a week into low LC. I like the results so far...

I just bought Trader Joe's Oven-Baked Cheese Bites...no carbs, great snack, delicious!

I'm in North Carolina, but it is Texas style, copied from Austin's Franklin Barbecue. If you travel thru the outer banks, I'll make one just for you. Until then, you gotta hit up Franklin :smiley:

Find somebody who's doing a low-carb diet just like you, and you won't know whose mouth it's coming from :smile:

I ate too good this weekend. Went out to dinner (got grilled fish and veggies) smoked a brisket, made keto cheesecake and didn't count calories Saturday or Sunday. Granted, I stayed true to all things keto, I am sure I was under 25 carbs both days. I just had more calories. Today, the test strips are still showing a trace…

Howdy! New year resolution and long term maintenance goal 47 year old here :smile: 40 el bees to go.

I meant last 3 posts...didn't mean to exclude you there :smiley:

I feel smarter after reading the last couple posts...

What are your actual calories vs goal calories for the day? You still need a calorie deficit to lose.

It says to introduce myself...well...hello :smile: I have about 40 el bees to go

Hello, it's late...

Hello and welcome!

Riding steady, scale hasn't moved since Monday, but I feel good! My son is wrestling in middle school and wants to get stronger so I have begun to take him walking with 5lb dumbbells. We walk and do a workout (FLO - flys, lats, and overheads) Kids keep you young in more ways than one!
