@ProCoffeenator , hope you're on the mend! I didn't realize you were keeping this fantastic thread going. I'm not a big joiner but, with no low-carb friends IRL it's nice to hop onto MFP and see folks who eat like me hanging out and having a good time. Thanks!

Great start, RowdysLady!

The struggle is real! I'm going into my second week of time restricted eating (nothing after 7pm or before 8am). I dreaded starting because I'm a nighttime nibbler (a couple nuts here, a few pork rinds there) but it has been a lot easier than I thought. Next step will be to push back breakfast by half hour at a time gain…

Great goal setting strategy! I, honestly, never viewed rewarding myself with exercise but, perhaps I should since I kinda loathe it. You could be onto to something...if I look on exercise as a privilege, will I be more likely to do it? Worth a try. Continued success on your journey. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats! I'm currently still working on determining real hunger vs habit goal.

I've been vaping for about 6 years now and make my own 0 nic juice. First thing I did when I picked up a glucometer was see if they affected my blood sugar (because it came up somewhere, I forgot where) and, nope, not a bit. As for hating children, at least you know and now only a fool would ask you to babysit, right? :D

I'm laughing so hard I can barely type!My husband can't throw anything away and my mom also would eat/drink the contents of near empty containers but I'm a tosser. In the rest of my life I'm a packrat but when it comes to food I have no problem throwing or pouring it away. Anyway, this little binge had less to do with your…

I am so not an expert and I've only recently found what clicks for me so, do consider that when reading my thoughts on your question. :) With that being said, you'll only know if you try it. Give it a month and see how it goes. I don't think anyone here can say for sure how your body will react. Insomnia got worse for me…

Congrats! I'm finding the same thing. I actually managed to survive my two kids' back to back birthdays while staying within my macros. While my daughter indulged in a cookie sundae I had a cold brew coffee with cream. I ordered it with sugar-free syrup, which I hated so ended up just sitting and talking comfortably with…

Oh shoot, I forgot to ask a question and I took so long to respond, I should've to @Shadowmf023 ! So, I'd be a turtle if I had to be an animal. They seem so serene and they live a really long time. My question is, what is your stretch goal for 2016? Mine is to complete a 5k walk/running. I have it on my calendar, have…

@ProCoffeenator , what a great idea for a thread. And, thanks for sharing the spoon theory. I'd never read of it before. I'm involuntarily retired (downsized, laid off, let go) and a couple years out finds me still struggling toward blissful. No matter how awful your job or boss, losing a job really is one of life's big…

I picked up a glucometer (which I have subsequently misplaced :/ ) to check my FBS and to see how higher protein or artificial sugars elevated my blood sugar. I stopped checking daily because it became as stressful as the scale for me. YMMV My FBS is around the 70's if all is right in my world. It is more adversely…

What a great goal! Vegetables and fruits are, unfortunately, not 'free' foods. Rather than concentrate on the caloric goal you could stay within your carbohydrate macro by choosing fruits and vegetables lower on the glycemic index to help you maximize your choices along your sugar-free journey. Some experience fewer…

* Generic multi (which has magnesium, potassium and calcium) * Magnesium 250mg (at night) * Electrolyte add-ins for water I was hitting my macros like a champ but was thirsty and dizzy until I realized I was reaching those goals by foregoing the important micronutrients in salads and vegetables. I added those back in and…

Sorry to be blitzing so many threads today but I've been waiting to chat about this stuff for way too long. Thanks for this group, @Curlieree * Olives * Guacamole cups - travel well and no worry about how ripe they are * Whole avocados * Coconut butter/manna * Home made mayo I was using nuts in the beginning but they're…

Oh, I'm so glad to have found some place to share this one! Since starting keto (about 4 weeks now) I don't like very sweet things so I was thrilled to find this recipe for Keto Choconut Almond Butter Cups. It can be sweetened to taste, of course, but I used 86% cocoa choclate and no other sweeteners. Here is the recipe…

BPC just doesn't do the magical things for me I hear others rave about. Butter in my coffee or tea makes me wretch so I started off Keto with coffee and heavy cream and that worked for awhile but left me bloated. Currently my daily coffee is:* 6 oz French Roast coffee * 2 T organic half and half Whirred with immersion…

Congratulations and thanks for sharing. First thing I noticed is, you've always been active and social, two things which are hard for some of us. This speaks directly, imho, to your outlook and presence in the life you lead. Then you did the most sensible and sane thing and formed an eating and workout style which is…

Body Project videos are the only free ones I've done more than once so I'd like to include that group as one motivating 'personality'. ;) There's also a new (to me) guy named Millionaire Hoy whose workouts are approachable and allow me to use my own music. My favorite, look-forward-to-working-out-with-her, paid personality…
