  • Omg! Me too! I just drank a cup of herbal tea to hopefully get things moving. I have to remember to get some veggies in there somewhere or this is the inevitable result. (For me anyway.)
  • Add me, one and all! Been doing keto about 3 weeks now with great results.

  • Maybe it's regional, I used to see it all the time growing up but not so much lately. Taste is so-so, not much like *actual* bacon but ok in its own right.

  • Not worth it... Not enough reliable features to make it worth the fees. Unless you seriously hate the ads.
  • I just started Monday and I need to lose a little over 30 lbs. You can add me if you'd like!
