Thank you, I didn't think to look for a local group. I live in northwest Ohio so the nearest ones are probably too far but you are right, maybe there is a site I can check out or something.

:/ space cadet that I am checked the original mayo I was holding, and then my partner pointed out a bigger one from another and at a lower unit price and without thinking I put it in my cart. I felt really stupid after. Its been a slow learning process for me, learning what exactly gluten was and what it appears as on…

Out of the rest of the meal, I don't know what would have done it. I don't have any dairy allergies. I started paying for an app after that you can scan or search a product and it tells you based on ingredients if it has it or is a risk, and the mayo was the only one that said it had it. I didn't think mayo could do that.…

Seasonique was amazing for me. I have chronic migraines and needed an option that wouldn't further trigger them. Seasonique gives you 4 periods a year, I had almost no weight gain other that bloating initially and then I was back to normal. First 3 month pack was like an adjustment period, and then from there on it was…

Too true, feels like BS how the system is rigged to keep you poor and fat. I can feed us for longer and cheaper on boxed, bagged, and canned goods than I can on a healthy diet. The price of beef lately is outragous, and chicken is barely better. Pork and turkey are most economic but my girlfriend has been complaining about…

Dang, where do you live? Its not at my local grocery stores.

Yeah, I'm mostly looking to eat what I have on hand, but when I go shopping i need to get the most out of my money. I have hugr containers of rice and oats. My old gym had a trainer who used to have me eat raw oats mixed with unsweetened apple sauce and cinnamon for taste before a work out because he believed my blood…

I limit myself on what styles I wear based on my body shape but it doesn't lock me in any roles. I love the whole spectrum. Ive always dressed fairly femme. I love my winged eyeliner. But I don't care about blurring the lines. What bothers me is that people rip on me all the time that I don't "look" gay. To the point that…

Thats what I just do. Manual input. Couldn't sync it to anything but my app, which is fine enough.

This definitely encourages me to find a way to wiggle it into my diet. I didnt think about a lot of the benefits people have named here. I mostly liked that it added protein and my current vitamin plan lacked amino acids like it has. I currently have the unflavored version from Sports Research, as it was the best selling…

There's always Gluten Free Tamari, you can even get "lite" tamari. Its a safe alternative to soy.

Stay strong and get better. Don't worry so much about carbs in your medicine. You have to get well either way. The amount of time you are sick won't ruin your progress or stop you from pushing forward when you are better. It will be alright, just relax and take care of yourself.

Thanks, I appreciate both your advice. Both times were temperature extremes, so that makes sense. I'll try those out. My version of low carb has a protein focus, and I was having a hard time meeting my goal without getting too much fat, so this was my way of helping meet that goal as well as a nice healthy boost by adding…

These sales always come at bad monetary times for me. I'm doing my wallet good and not even looking at whats on sale because last timw I bought a crap ton of games and ate a lot of ramen til the next paycheck lol. And I still havent played several of them! Letting my partner do the impulse buying this time. I still get to…

I haven't tried drinking this round, since the last time I was keto I broke for thanksgiving. Between the stuffing (made from scratch, I have self control but not THAT much self control) and this vodka/sherbet/sprite drink that tasted like the most wonderful beverage I had ever had I don't carw to repeat the experience.…

2 Vitamin C immune packets that also serve as a multivitamin, extra b12, and vitamin d.

I love mint chocolate halo top. It looks like it's a lot of carbs buy most of its sugar alcohols or fiber, so I don't worry about having a few bites.

Thank you! I am curious if I can find a workaround like that with samsung health or google fit. I really like its base app, I just would appreciate the integration lol.

What you have achieved is amazing. I know that things can feel long, tough, and impossible, but look at how far you have come. Pardon my "french", but you kicked *kitten*. Try not looking at that last stretch of how far you have to go and look at how far you've made it. I don't know if I have a way to relate something for…

The reddit Keto board has a wealth of knowledge including macro calculators and a variety of other tools. The website Ruled.me has a ton of recipes, everything you could want pretty much. When figuring out how many carbs you are eating, you don't count Dietary Fiber. So if a food is fiber rich, and the net carbs are low,…

I cough up the change for spotify premium (offline playlists perfect if you are exercising away from wifi and don't have to buy individual songs or albums) and they have so many awesome playlists without having to build one. And if you search workout jams or music I bet tons of users have made public playlists you would…

I used to just pour my bacon fat into a mason jar and if I cooked with it I would log how many tablespoons or whatnot that I used. I find my bacon comea out better and the perfect level of doneness if I take a baking sheet (with high enough edges for the grease) and one of those racks for baking and cook my bacon on…

I've never made a chicken crust myself, but my grocery store has small pizzas with that sort of crust and its AMAZING. The supreme version only has 8 grams carbs in the entire thing and thats not checking to see how much is fiber.

I find doing strength (not like bulking up or anything) exercise easier when low carb. And I use b vitamins and electrolytes a ton. Cardio is still doable. There are excellent reddit posts about it under r/keto board.

The first time I went on keto, a few months in thanksgiving happened. I cheated a bit. I got what I now dub as a carb high, and when I came down from it I crashed pretty hard. I had an awful migraine, and I felt generally crappy and sluggish. A lesson was learned that day for me.

I LOVE Just Dance. I used to have a wii and played that a lot. There are some really great songs but yiu have to either buy them solo or in a pack usually. Its sometimes worth it cause once you get bored you just buy another song pack. It even had a sweat mode, I loved that they encouraged it as a fitness concept.

Hi there :) Age: 26 Height: 5'4" Starting Weight: 263 lbs (more of a slap in the face wakeup call) Current Weight: 250 lbs Goal weight: 130-140 lbs Location: Ohio I've started and stopped more times than I can count, but this is the most I have ever weighed. This time I have to stick with it. I struggle with the issue of…

The first Harvest Moon, and its early sequels lured me. My mom got rid of our nintendo rather quickly because our pastor implied games melt your brain and soul. Made me sad. I lived vicariously at my friends houses, with Zelda, Mario, and etc. Then came pokemon on handhelds my friends would let me borrow, and the real…

Hey :) I've been on and off the MFP wagon a few times but this time is sticking. I'm lesbian, used to identify as pan but got tired of explaining it, and I don't necessarilly feel equal attraction to everyone on the gender spectrum (straight cis males , but it might be because most of them are ignorant and like it like…

@rainbowbandit I totally know what you mean. I made the mistake of just letring myself have a teeny piece of a pumpernickel bread bowl and have been craving bread for a week. I'm low carbing it too, would love more friends and def interested in the FB group :).
