Also, I just ate for the first time since last night. Bacon eggs and some keto bread. Any suggestions peeps? Also could it be that my system is so cleaned out and pure that alcohol just affects me tons more?

okay. the wife makes this and it is amazing. I will have to get exact recipe. she mixes cream cheese, heavy cream and butter and a touch of liquid sweetener and mixes or whips or whatever. it is like ice cream/mousse... love it

yeah the wife and kids got me a bike for fathers day.. I haven't ridden it much... too out of shape to then. almost 40 pounds lighter.. should be about ready to

We took the kids to a Japanese restaurant last night. You know the chefs cook in front of you. The kids loved it. Me and the wife had steak and shrimp and triple veggies. I had two bites of rice, no noodles. Still bet they used canola oil and other oils. Then Christmas cookies today. Just two small ones, no icing. Okay,…

Well, I am not requesting you all analyze my diet everyday. Would be nice, but a bit much. Unless you want to. But honestly, since all the weight loss, the Biggest Loser contest at work, not much has changed. Breakfast is my protein shake with the almond milk, heavy cream, a splash of cold coffee, and about 10 pecans on…

Wow!! Pic tells a lot!! Wife will certainly be impressed. Okay about the eating protein to meet them. If I do this and protein is over a safe amount, won't this cause kidney stress or turn to carbs? Or something like that.

Nah, I am a water guy 98% of the time. The other 2% is tea or coffee. This info helps. Thanks folks.

I have the Nova Max Plus. If you go to there site, sometimes they offer free meter when you order a certain number of strips. I only test about twice a month. I am either losing or staying the same, and my diet is pretty much on par. 0.5 - 1.5 I think is optimal. I am usually in that range. I haven't checked in about two…

Had a little bit. Honestly done lost my taste for it. Kinda glad for it.

Just sipping a little with water and ice.

Great

Okay. I am not the expert. For me, I went low carb/keto cold turkey. Less than 20 grams carbs a day from the start. The weight poured off of me. It was the best way... for me. It is what kept me going. I am 5 feet 8 inches and weighed 256 in the beginning. 1200-1500 calories a day might be a huge deficit to accomplish. See…

I had to go by what worked and works for me. All folks are different. I aim for 1800 calories. Such a huge deficit according to some, but I don't get hungry. The weight has come off pretty regular. No use in making myself eat more.

I always wanted to know. Just scared of my pat ways of eating tons of crap. So, like @cstehansen said. Better safe than sorry.

They told me the sale was good until Saturday night.. double check @kpk54

Hey @kpk54 .. I have had a Piggly Wiggly around my hometown forever. I always had the perception they were expensive. The other regular items looked high cost to me. Is there anything else you buy there? Other keto stuff?

I was same as you @lorijowilliams ... I love peas, corn, beans, etc. Had to give that up. It is in the way you spice these new veggies up. Even Brussel sprouts are awesome with some chopped up bacon and heavy whipping cream. Some white cheddar. Cauliflower au gratin is great and all done in the microwave. As far as keto…

I use a meter for ketones and blood glucose. I have checked blood glucose probably 5 times in last 3 months. It has always been fine. Ketones in urine numbered 40 the day they tested urine.

I didn't mean to cheat the results. I know one week before won't matter. I meant to be provided with tips from you all. Like I heard coffee was okay. Just black. I only do water though. Also, my eating is crap this week. Not cheating but just not eating. My little boy is 10 and his mom left us when he was 7. He didn't ask…

Many thanks for the info people. I quit logging my food on MFP a little over a week ago. I feel I am doing okay. Just not eating as much. Probably not as much fat either which is not a good thing. Probably more protein than I need which is also not a good thing. Thanks again.

No but I feel like I need to consume all of them. Good keto foods. But bad habits. I gotta refrain. I am gonna be strong! Help me!

Oh and now the wife has made these fat bombs and this chocolate salted pecan bark and a cheesecake. All of it is keto but gosh. All that temptation. Help me folks.

@ProCoffeenator ... The getting on and off and in the buff. That is me too. I purchased mine from Amazon. Their top seller was only 23 bucks. I get on then off then on then off.. you get the idea. It weighs the same each time unless their is some bathroom activity in there somewhere.

Man, I am telling you right now. I love me some apple cider vinegar. I drink that stuff straight. I could down the entire bottle in a day or two if I wasn't scared it would pickle my insides. I haven't been drinking it in awhile. If you just drink it straight, how much each day is effective? Many thanks.

I am so late on this. I was hoping to see a challenge thing come up. Wasn't feeling well last week. Hope I can join in now. I am at 223 pounds right now. My Goals: 1) Lose 8 pounds by Christmas. 2) At least 60,000 steps per week. 3) Raking, blowing, and vacuuming leaves up 3 times per week. This is a lot of exercise,…

Well a ton of these provided my humor for the day!!! I can always depend on you all for the advice and stand up comedy bits...

Great ones... people you are great!!!

I recall having some Russell Stover candy given to me about a year ago. I am not sure of the ingredients, but it made me a very unhappy person. My digestive system was even unhappier than me. I only ate two pieces. But never again.

Sounds great to me..

Just wondering why that is. I like the science of things especially defeating the common cold. Are cells able to repair quicker or am I close?
