  • I've only tried the lemon cake when they first came to my store. It was good, but I'm not much of an ice cream person (I like soft serve over frozen tubs). So I haven't tried any of the other flavors.
  • I "fast" from usually around 8PM-11AM during the week because it fits my body and work hours (I find it hard to eat and have it settle before 6:30-7, and by then I have kids, so eating becomes difficult). Bonus of fasting this way is that when they need me to not take a lunch, it's not too much of a shock on my body (I'm…
  • Like all WOE, you're not going to be able to maintain the weight loss if it's something you're not going to stick to long term. Hubby and I did Keto last year for 4 months, slid off with our anniversary, birthdays, holidays and gained back pretty much everything. We're back to keto because when we drop weight loss as a…
  • I took advantage of Keto Connect the first time around. I picked 2-3 recipes to do a week and bought what I needed to make them, some keto friendly snacks (pork rinds, low carb bars), and stocked up on frozen necessities (riced and mashed cauliflower, vegetables, real good pizzas). Planning ahead has been the biggest aide…
  • Trying keto stew from perfect keto tonight. I've done the beef stew from keto Connect and it's a favorite.
  • Lily's has a keto friendly chocolate that I'm in love with. Also, Slimfast just released keto peanut butter cups. We also keep quest and evolution bars at the house for sweets cravings that are lower carb.
  • I miss reading. I'm slowly slogging through adventure path books for D&D and Pathfinder. XD
  • I'm primarily a Pathfinder/Starfinder player, but at the moment, hubby and I are on game hiatus and I'm missing playing. I've got books for D&D so I can work out the game if I were to switch (I had some friends online who wanted to play, but life got in the way).

  • Hullo. I'm a game bouncer (I rotate between games every few months, and then return to them). Primarily, I play LotRO, GW2, WoW, and right now, Overwatch. I'm pretty casual as a player. :) And then I've gotten into painting minis for Age of Sigmar and our Pathfinder and Starfinder minis (or at least plan to if ND gets…
  • Feel free to add me as well. I'm entering week 3 of returning to keto. I'll also second either making ketoade or getting Powerade or Gatorade zero to help with keto flu. It is not fun to have. I'm making a big batch to start co-workers out with next week since I've unexpectedly turned my workplace to keto land. XD
  • KetoLula - Keto is how I eat, Lula is the short version of my online identity for gaming. :3
  • I drink Frut water from Aldi's. It's zero calorie and helps me get more water in, so I count it as the same.
  • I'm excited to at least see positive responses to me going keto and having a potential support system at work. At my last job, people were pretty bad about trying to get me to come off keto. Husband and I are in it together, so I'm not alone. We're trying tons of places around us that have keto options too so we can…

  • I like to think I main Mei, but Orisa has been getting more time lately to make up for party builds.
  • I'm on a pretty big overwatch stint right now. Just quickplay, but thinking about starting to play some competitive games.
  • Keto Connect and Wicked Stuffed both have meals we've enjoyed. We started out with the beef stew from Keto Connect and it is great. We just find and try things since I enjoy cooking and hubby enjoys eating. XD

  • Husband and I started it back up last week. We did it for a few months last year and just got lazy and slipped off. But we loved how we felt, so we're back.

  • I find it odd that the menu for the box wasn't available before confirming your order. I'm on a number of meal subscription lists because I would look at the menu (and I was subbed to hello fresh for over a year, so blue apron is always sending me stuff). If you can't cancel the box, I would turn the meals into multiple…
  • If you work an active job, 10k isn't too hard. When I first started working with children, I spent all day (8+ hours) chasing toddlers, walking with them (because they enjoyed doing active circle time), running with them outside, pulling them off tables, and more. My less active job before that, I made a point to get up…
  • Mine is at 8k a day, but at the end of the month, I'm planning on increasing it to make it more challenging. I'm on my feet all day chasing and carrying babies, so 8k is pretty attainable without putting in too much extra effort. But I want to start purposeful activity, so increasing it will help me get out and take a walk.
  • I tend to take pictures whenever I cook (or we go out to eat) and add them to my insta. I like to show off what I cook.
  • I put creamer in my coffee (1 tbsp), so it gets logged.
  • Yep. Net carbs are Total Carbs - Fiber. We also subtract sugar alcohols from our carbs at out house. 😊
  • Hubby and I did it over the summer last year, but didn't get back on track after our anniversary trip. We're getting back into the swing since we loved how we felt. And this time, I prepped for keto flu.
  • It feels amazing. Some of the best changes are that my old joint injuries don't hurt me any more (and when I've twisted a knee, it feels like it only takes a couple of days to get right instead of the week+ it used to) and I don't have that afternoon slump (which is nice considering afternoons are pretty crazy when you're…
  • Right now, some of our favorites are the beef stew from keto connect and the faux-tato from wicked stuffed. I pretty much just go online and search for keto recipes every week to decide on meals.
  • Thanks. It's been awesome how much better hubby and I both are feeling and the weight loss has been such a nice bonus. The hardest part for us has been eating out, but at least the positive of Houston is lots of BBQ and lots of fajitas.
