  • I don't typically eat breakfast. But I do always have a coffee with heavy cream that comes in at around 100 calories. If I do eat breakfast, it'll be a two egg omelet with meat and cheese and will come in around 350 calories.
  • Is there a specific reason you need to avoid salt? Because if not, adding salt would be my first suggestion. And maybe some onion and garlic powder and like someone else suggest, some Tumeric.
  • Thank goodness for those reminders, I was getting a headache from only breathing once a day ;)
  • People with eating disorders generally don't realize that they have an eating disorder, even if a bunch of people on a message board continue to tell them they do. For the health of this poster, the mods really should either lock down his/her posts before a bunch of well intentioned folks waste their time offering advice,…
  • HW: 274.7lbs Keto restart (4/7/19): 246.8 GW: 135lbs June GW: 213 Sunday, 5/26: 227.8 06/02: 223.9 06/09: 223.1 06/16: 224.5 06/23: 221.0 06/30: My losses have really slowed this month, and I'm not sure why. I mean, I'm still losing, but not at the rate I should be according to my deficit. I'm not going to get anywhere…
  • Thank you everyone. I ended getting the Apple Watch 4 this weekend and so far am loving it!
  • That is a bold statement! What are some of your favorite features? I admit, I'm having a really hard time thinking of letting go of the FitBit platform.
  • Everyone is different. I'm not a fast loser, even on Keto. My H lost 23lbs in 3 weeks, it took me two months to lose that much, and I have more to lose than he does. So frustrating.
  • I limit myself to 5-6 almonds at a time. That way I can grab a few here and there during the day, instead of downing them all in one fell swoop. Calories are the same at the end of the day, but I FEEL like I got more than I actually did.
  • Everyone is different. I prefer to workout fasted. Andplusalso, if I eat within 30-60 minutes of working out, I'm just going to throw it up anyway.
  • I use heavy cream in my coffee with no sweetener. It took a bit to get used to, but now I quite enjoy it.
  • In total, 145lbs. So far I've lost 55.1lbs. As of this morning, I have 89.9lbs to go.
  • What exactly is that supposed to mean? Are you implying that you are somehow better than other single Mom's? Are you implying that you work harder or are some how worthy of more? Wow. Just wow. I'm not even sure why you are here on the message board, clearly you are too fancy for us "normal single moms" and other regular…
  • This is so true! I was just telling my friend the other day that after losing 25lbs my shirts now cover my belly and my pants are longer LOL OP - if you are anything like me, there is a good chance that when you started, your clothes were actually too small. As I was gaining weight, I kept squeezing in to my clothes, I…
  • Perhaps don't drink so much water? 64oz a day is a guideline, as is half your body weight in ounces. Some people may need that much, sure, but it is possible that you may not, especially if you are eating a lot of fruits and veggies with a high water content. Maybe try just drinking enough for a few days to quench your…
  • I don't have a Gallbladder and I do Keto. I will occasionally have some GI distress, but now that I'm 4+ years out from my surgery, it is much better.
  • Of course it does. Are you dead? If not, your body is doing it's job. If you are eating low carb, then you are likely not fueling adequately so your body is either making glucose through a process called Gluconeogenisis or it is pulling stored glucose from your cells. If you are really lucky and eating low carb enough,…
  • I seriously don't understand why anyone is continuing to try and help this woman. She very clearly does not want help. She wants to complain. She wants to be a martyr. What she does not want is an actual solution to her problem. Good grief.
  • Last year, when it was about 2mths old I scratched the watch face and contacted them to see if it was repairable. They told me no, but did offer me 50% off a new one. I didn't see the point in buying a whole new watch at that time since it worked fine otherwise. I'm hoping at the very least for something similar this time,…
  • And Oreos.
  • I realize that I am a couple of days late to this, but just eat the Whopper. Or get a Whopper Jr. Life is too short. In my experience deprivation leads to binging, so personally I would have the Whopper and then just move forward.
  • I love it. I'm not hungry in the mornings anyway. My whole life I maintained my weight and never ate breakfast. It wasn't until my late 20's when I got my first full time office job and started eating breakfast because "it's the most important meal of the day" that I actually started struggling with my weight. n=1 and all…
  • Aside from food sources, you can cook your foods in cast iron pans.
  • That's a lot of veggies, over a pound and a half. And what, maybe $3? I certainly wouldn't overeat and run the risk of GI discomfort over a couple of bucks. But hey, to each his own.
  • I personally just look at total carbs. For the most part, I never even come close to that goal so I didn't even watch that closely unless I know that I've eaten a higher carb than usual food. I personally don't do beans or any legumes as I follow a more Paleo-Keto approach.
  • I count total carbs. Yes, I count calories. I generally do not eat beans or similar in moderation. I get fiber in the fruit and veggies that I eat. I'd highly recommend checking out the Keto group posted above. Tons of great information there.
  • Personally, I just fast. I routinely go 24hrs several times a week, so 9-12 hours wouldn't be a big deal for me personally. If you aren't at the point yet, is just grabbing something in the airport an option if you don't want to carry anything? Last time I traveled, the aiports had several options ranging from fast food to…

I'm not letting this upset me especially because I kicked myself out of Keto. Honestly I was expecting it to be a lot higher. I had set a…
  • I know that you don't want to hear it, but I'm going to repeat what others have said. Learn to cook. If not for you, do it for your kids. Do you really want them growing up surviving on Chick-Fil-A and convenience foods? The fact that your main focus seems to be eating dessert foods is very telling, and makes me kind of…
  • What kind of creamer are you using? I use heavy cream in my coffee, and while it may seem like a calorie bomb, it really isn't. For my 20oz cup of coffee, I use 2T of cream. It's only about 90 calories and makes my coffee super creamy. If I need flavor, I'll use 1-2 pumps of a sugar free syrup from Skinny Syrups or Torani.
