Just got my first Fitbit, would love to have some friends! https://www.fitbit.com/user/52LHJF

Two months into veganism here. Did it overnight... and from a low carb style of eating even! Also, my 9yo daughter joined me about 1.5 months ago and talk about dedicated! I highly recommend checking out youtube for great vegan tips on nutrition, dealing with questions or haters, recipes etc. Some of my fave vegan…

Looking for Runtastic friends too! https://www.runtastic.com/en/users/linnea-marohn

Thanks all for the responses. First off, I was being slightly fececious with the bottle a day...it wasn't meant to be taken quite so literally. But I still will admit to drinking way too much so the responses are still relevant. :) I've set my calories to 1700 but most often when I was logging I was lucky to get over 1000…

Best way I've ever found to make Brussels sprouts... the whole family loves it, even my little daughter calls them 'special sprouts'. Put frozen Brussels sprouts in a roasting pan of some type. Pour chicken stock over just enough to cover the bottom. Broil until the stock is gone. Add bacon... always add bacon. :-) Drizzle…

Learned my Kryptonite last night. WATERMELON....OMG WATERMELON!! My daughter wanted me to cut her some and there it was...all juicy and yummy looking. I figured one slice will be okay....like 4 slices and 62 carbs later. :neutral: so mad at myself.

Oh, and tequila and fresca.

Nesfruta, it's like Mio only made by Nestea...in coconut and pineapple flavour. Mix it with club soda or maybe sprite and rum. Tastes like a piña colada.

I just dragged mine out yesterday for the first time since measuring hot tub chemicals last year...lol. I did it because I was having steak and I have no idea what an ounce looks like. Whoa have I been eating more than I was logging! I would have said 4-5 oz...it was 7.5!! Will be using it more now!

Other that hollow man, footloose and tremors I had no idea Kevin Bacon was in the rest!!

Actually this might be the proper link: https://www.runtastic.com/en/users/linnea-marohn

Just make sure you're logged in there and there should be a button on the left that says "add friend". If you have your activities set to public I can cheer you on!!

Baconloose...with Kevin Bacon!!

In my younger days I would lose weight while being able to drink a fair amount; however, I the drinks I have now are usually with friends sitting around where before it was drinks while dancing at a club. It definitely slows my progress now and have been cutting down the drinks a bit. I also feel terrible the next day...…

I've been drinking buttered coffee for breakfast everyday for about 3 weeks. I'm not a fan of breakfast so it is a good replacement. This morning I had a shake instead, 2 cups spinach, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 c almond milk, 1 tbsp roasted flax meal....I was SO hungry by 10am!! With buttered coffee I'm satiated till at…

Can anyone tell me if I have to have the MFP app installed on the same device for Endo to post to MFP? I have Runtastic currently and it needs the MFP app installed... I use blackberry so that isn't an option.

Oooh, I really like that one...

I find with low carb I have a hard time eating enough calories as well. My glass of wine at the end of the day usually bumps me over that line where MFP yells at me for not eating enough. lol Seriously though, I hate having to force food into me so I've made 'fat bombs' to get that bit of good fats and calories up. I make…

I'm in, I'll start Monday. This is perfect timing actually!! I saw the app on my iPad and thought it might be a good June challenge.

Ang, I made the most delish low carb Baileys. Just google baileys recipe and sub the sweetened condensed milk for whipping cream and Splenda. It's FABULOUS!!!!

I've read (and it may be what's posted in the link) that it won't kick you out of ketosis but your body will burn the alcohol before returning to burn fat. And agree with previous posters, it makes the hangover a bajillion times worse, plus you get munchies while drinking combined with impaired food judgement....but I'm…

Thanks so much for the advice! I ran out to the grocery store and grabbed some oxo in a mug mix, 790mg per tsp. I must have really needed it because just the smell of opening the container elicited the Pavlov response. Pretty impressive with the dry mouth I've got!! Honestly I felt like a addict opening the package of…

Something that just occurred to me as well... right now in my life, what I would give to only have myself to cook for. Or even just me and my daughter, as I would love to have sole control over how much (or little) crap she eats. Eating low carb and getting fit was SO much easier when there wasn't someone else buying…

Wow Knit, I just went back and looked at my food diary. I just added the sodium column with posting this discussion so I haven't been tracking it at all. I don't come anywhere close to 2000mg of sodium! So if we're supposed to have that much sodium, what's the deal with all the reduced sodium stuff? I mean, I don't really…

Oh!! I had no idea... let me fix that.

I haven't been snacking at all... so no salt there. Just in my meals.

I think I'm getting enough salt. Check out my food diary if you wouldn't mind. I really don't know how much the proper amount of salt is. As for minerals, I think I still eat fairly healthfully... but just in case I've been taking vitamins as well. I don't really track my water, but I have a 20 oz coffee in the morning and…

I know as women we aren't supposed to base our self esteem on how someone else sees us, but I tell you, at 38 years old one of my fondest memories was stopping by to say hello to my ex... I was about 40lbs less and gorgeous. His jaw hit the floor with an audible thump I swear! That felt SOOO good. And yes, that was low…
