Happy Thanksgiving! I'm sure thankful for all the great support and info I get from ya'all. :smiley:

OMG...today is a hungry day for me too! Not hungry enough to tempt me to overeat...just not feeling satisfied with what I have eaten even tho I know I met my macros. For me, now that I think about it, it just may be additional activity that is triggering this. Starting work at the local food pantry on Mon and worked again…

Lots, lots, lots of good input on this thread. I too, am sorry your A1C is not where you expected. I agree with your decision to seek another appt with a provider who may be more savvy about the whole diabetic process and have insight as to how to tease out the triggers for your A1C increase. Will be looking forward to…

Great idea...I will be stealing it for a Christmas trip to my sisters. Thanks for posting!

I hate the cold too! Even tho today could not be considered cold by Kansan's standards, I guess I have officially become a true Floridian. I miss my winter home. I have been very good though about bundling up when necessary and getting our (mine and the pup's) walks in each day. The evening walk is always in the dark and…

Yep...TMI...OMG that ankle looks like OUCH! Hope you are healing up quickly.

Ladies...good work...this is for you... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXydX9p_ZxA

Nice work! Don't obsess over the increase in your total cholesterol too much. Be more attentive to your cholesterol ratio. Your cholesterol ratio is calculated by dividing your total cholesterol by your HDL cholesterol. The higher the number, the higher your risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease. Your ratio is not…

Haha...when I read the title of this post I wished I had an "8 lb Boston Butt"! My butt is much bigger and definitely not from Boston.

Yep that. I only log my foods when I am trying to analyze and reset. If I get too comfortable in what I am doing, it can be easy to overdo the foods that are so good for me.

Never been an issue for me...can't justify the price for watching what is a complete visual & auditory stimulus overload for me (I am probably on the very low end of the autism spectrum). And I've always been kinda grossed out by the sticky floors and what the previous patron may have left on that cloth seat. Most movies…

You ladies look awesome. My face was the first place I noticed the difference as soon as I went LCHF...no more puffiness. Puffiness of the body takes a little longer...lol.

@emaline2210 Posting for your own accountability will probably serve you well to getting back on track. Education/awareness is power and your are obviously very self aware. I surmise you know exactly what to do...just need a little cheerleading to help you do it as you most likely do not get that from your spouse who…

Congrats! Love the title of this thread BTW :smiley:

Wow! Congratulations!

I experience this too...somedays it just feels like I am running a fever...all day...it's weird to feel that warm all day and still feel really good, not like having an illness related fever at all.

Wouldn't it be nice if such show would replace absurdities like Biggest Loser and other "eat less, move more" shows? I hate that I've missed out on some of the shows ya'all have mentioned. Can we start listing not only the title of the shows, but also where it was seen (what network/channel), whether it is currently…

[quote="Sunny_Bunny_;38189581" I'm sorry to hear that. My oldest daughters father didn't leave her life but it honestly would've been better if he had. She decided to leave his once she was old enough to say so and hasn't spoken to him in years. When she was young and had to visit him and didn't want to, I just tried to…

My absolute faves are - tacos with the works in romaine leaves instead of shell - fried cabbage with bacon - poblanos baked with cheese and spicy pork sausage filling

Thanks everybody!

Everytime I have tried cauliflower rice, I hated it, but this looks like something I could love! Thanks for sharing. :smiley:

Thank you! I do often load poblanos or jalepenos with different cheeses & sausages, but would love to start experimenting more with the different colors of bell peppers.

Thanks samantha for the info...this (eating out options) is really what I was looking for as I am unfamiliar with most fast food menus nowadays. Echoing the response to Cadori, I will probably not be motivated to pack a cooler in addition to that I dedicate to my furry child. Most of what I would pack in a cooler would be…

Thanks Cadori for the quick response & suggestions...but trying to avoid carrying an extra cooler...already carrying one for my dog as I feed him only Freshpet + homemade food. Not ready to invest time or energy into another cooler. If I were traveling alone, your suggestions are exactly what I would do. Maybe I should…

No, none, nada, zip articles referenced from peer-reviewed studies should make anyone question the validity of this article. He did reference some poorly conducted studies.

Would love to hear from others who have tried this with other nut butters (I don't do peanut butter as peanuts are a legume and don't invest in other nut butters unless I see a "to die for" reason to do so) I do love peppers...red, green, yellow & orange. I usually just crunch on them raw. They are an awesome transition…

Haha...when I was working, everyone laughed at my big bottle of "Damnitols" that I kept on my desk. :smiley:

Bacon fried cabbage (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/196732/fried-cabbage-with-bacon-onion-and-garlic/) on the menu today...had BPC for breakfast so on the way to homeostasis with a planned daily meal.

Yep...still falling under just because I haven't been really hungry. I recently resumed lifting weights and HIIT on a bike so need those extra calories. Normally spend my winters in FL where I am kayaking and in the pool a lot. Having to adjust to a KS winter. So will make the adjustments I know I need to make. Had a…

And this is key to making LC/LCHF a lifestyle rather than a diet. Find your happy!
