  • NSV: I haven't had real pinky toe nails for a LONG time, not real ones, they were really thin and split. I had also kind of ruined a couple of toenails backpacking and cycling. Since I've adopted this WOE and started adding collagen to my morning coffee, I have regrown those toenails. The damaged toenails are back to…

  • I tried on a benchmark dress yesterday. It is a very unforgiving summer dress that shows every single curve. I had to put it way last summer because I gained weight. Tried it on last night and it looked good. This was great for my brain because I am losing weight so very slowly. I guess, however, if I had to pick, I would…
  • In the pinned discussions is a topic called "Start Here - Lowcarb/Keto Launchpad". If you go there, there are links to sites that will let you enhance your MFP to show net carbs. This works for your computer but not so much your phone.
  • Hello, I just turned 54 and realized that my last period was on my birthday LAST year. It official. Hello menopause. I do not use HRT. I do have mild night sweats and the occasional hot flash. I had some pretty annoying weight gain which I use MFP to help me combat.

  • I had to start wearing a belt with my jeans that I bought just a month ago. They were optimistically snug when I made my purchase. Now they want to slide.

  • Chai tea with cream or a couple of spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt to hold me until dinner. Boring. I know.
  • One of the things that I love most about LCHF is getting to eat delicious food. SlimFast makes me sad but if it is a tool you would find useful, this journey is yours.
