Wow! @samanthaluangphixay & @Kirstie155 Thanks for sharing those photos, that is really inspiring!

@Billyin4c ooooo....if you find any that do not require coconut anything, would you pass them on? All the recipes I have found so far have coconut oil or coconut milk in them and I can't have it. :(

Mine is 9, very tall, super skinny - actually right at the border of being too thin but it has to do with how fast he's growing taller because this child is eating me out of house and home already....I dread the teen years for this reason alone lol He has been on a kick lately where he wants subs in his lunch. Previously,…

Right now my reward is shopping in my own closet lol I'm not doing more until I hit onederland (7 more to go!), saving money for a new tattoo.

@tattoomary Take measurements as well. My scale says I've only lost 6lbs in 3wks. My clothes say otherwise. I've dropped a bra size, 2 shirt sizes and 2 sizes in jeans. The scale lies :)

My kid has pretty much steered himself into this, even before me. His natural inclination is to eat more meat, veggies, and cheese than grains. He still gets a sandwich in his lunch most days but it's also packed full of lunchmeat and lettuce, both things we eat on this diet. I have always limited his sweets but he does…

Mine is weird too. I posted a response in another thread and all my words got eaten. Post is there, just doesn't say anything

@RowdysLady

:) I usually post daily and have 71lbs to go

Vitamin C can help balance out the issue, especially if it's from overdoing the magnesium.

I'm 3wks in and according to the scale, only 6lbs down. I just moved so I don't know where my measuring tape is at the moment but I don't really care. I was wearing size 16 jeans last month, I'm now in a 12. That scale is lying.... I do still check it more often than I probably should just because I'm eager to see the…

I brought this change in lifestyle up with my endo and she couldn't have been more excited to tell me to go for it. I was honestly shocked, I kind of expected a fight about it lol

I had an oops today, not going to fret just going to get back on track tomorrow!

Heavy cream in my coffee (iced). Sesame oil has been my favorite this week, adds a nice nutty flavor to just about any type of meat. Butter and heavy cream as a sauce for seafood- it's a blank canvas, you can add whatever spice palate you want to change up flavors.

Is there a way to clean cast iron that you would recommend? Previous tenant in my house left one and I would love to use it but judging by the condition of the house when I got the key...it needs cleaned. So many mixed opinions online. As for the bacon grease, I strain and recycle jars to store in the fridge too. I'd love…

I also had "normal range" thyroid tests for awhile then all of a sudden the next test was crazy. Might be worthwhile to have your hormones checked as well. I had to fight then change doctors to get mine done but when I did I found out I had premature ovarian failure and all of my hormone levels were low. I gained all of my…

Thanks!

I have had chronic joint pain most of my life, so much so that before the age of 35 I was tested for every possible joint disorder. Final answer was just that my joints are hyper-flexible. Today is day 21 and I have already seen a marked improvement.

Normal bloodwork for the first time in 4yrs. Down TWO jeans sizes in 20 days! Less joint pain. I can't wait to see what the coming months bring.

I only had to pay my specialist copay, they draw the blood there and it's covered because she is treating me for PCOS & hypothyroid. Your regular doctor can (& should, annually) run labs checking cholesterol, insulin, etc.

Thanks! :)

My motivation is loaded, everything from health to vanity. I want to reset the insulin resistance, get off the metformin, and get off of the thyroid med. I'm hoping to see improvement in my psoriasis, body pain (Fibro.). I want to look better, I want to wear all my fabulous clothes from 4yrs ago. I want to be able to run…

Brand new, started yesterday... SW & CW are the same: 211 GW 135

Anyone have fat bomb recipes that do not contain coconut oil or coconut? I'm allergic and having a rough time finding anything.
