Thank you.

I add some lime juice and try to tell myself it's key lime pie, lol

Hi, I'm Kathie and would definitely like to start this challenge also.

Drinking gelatin can sometimes help stiff & sore muscles. Started doing this years ago during curling bonspiels.

I'm in! Good idea!

I use a magic bullet & the heat doesn't seem to bother it. Just tough opening it sometimes as heat seems to seal the blade bottom to the blender cup.

You look great!

@Sunny_Bunny_ me too, but my mum can only handle 1 tbsp or less. @Karlottap you're so right!

I find that pork chops & pork roast hurt my stomach, but if it's cured (bacon & ham) I can eat it. Thank goodness, lol. (Life without bacon would be very sad).

That's hilarious!

Thanks @Dragonwolf .

Exactly Janice! I have no idea how my daughter can be 21 when I'm sure I'm still only 35! I just wish my body thought so too, lol.

I tried to join. It just keeps telling me I have to join to view, with no place to join now. I am admittedly technically illiterate, so I have probably done something wrong, lol.

Hello ladies. Just quick check in. Hope you're feeling better Janice. Not sure why this thread keeps getting buried so deep we can't find it, but sure would like to keep it alive. Welcome back Ellen. Hope you're feeling better, too. My FIL struggled with diverticulitis & I sure feel for you. Hugs all

Hello ladies. Yes it's been a struggle to find this discussion. I finally realized if I hit the little bell symbol at top of page it has last post here & then I can get into it. Frustrating to say the least. So I tried fasting for longer than 24 hrs yesterday & managed to hit the 39 hrs mark. Pretty pleased with that. I…

Good morning ladies! Hope all is well with everyone. The first 2 wks strictly back to LCHF was great. Lost 4 lbs, felt good, & no dreaded "keto flu". But now I seemed to have stalled again, darn it. No losses in past 10 days. What's up with that? I did experiment on the weekend with the LC tiramisu someone had posted ( it…

Hello ladies. Hope everyone has hunkered down for the storm. Yes Karla, the school shooting has been an awful blow. For something like this to happen in such a remote spot is unfathomable. It has hit really close to home for us, as many in our small community have friends & family in La Loche. Saskatchewan is such a…

Good morning ladies. Weather is finally warming up to balmy -20 c here. We had blue skies, too, Karla. & view out my living room window was beautiful with the new white snow, blue skies, & green spruce trees but, damn, it was cold. The months of Nov & Dec were quite challenging for me. LCHF kind of went out the window with…

Hello ladies. Nice to meet all you newcomers. I'd totally forgot about the pickle juice until you guys were discussing it. I've had a few pickles here & there this week, along with a swig of the juice. It goes down quite nicely. How's work Karla? And what about you Janice? Are things getting & staying better? We're sitting…

Hello ladies & welcome to the newbies. I think I have to shoot the driver of my 'wagon', the darn thing backed over me again, lol. But it was only 1 meal & I'm right back on track again. Took my daughter to a 50's diner last night. She was so excited, amazing how something so little can get a 20 yr old so worked up! A…

Hello ladies. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all. Have been lurking these past few weeks, but not on much. What a beautiful granddaughter Jane! How lucky you are! Still no news on my health issues. Next thing to try is special physio & the Botox (not sure Botox in my hoo haw (sorry tmi) & trigger points in abdomen…

Hello ladies. I've been so busy with Dr appts, birthdays, & Christmas prep I think I'm going backwards. My colonoscopy was 10(?) days ago & I go for results this Friday. So obviously they didn't find anything or I would have been called in sooner (I'm guessing). I did have my 1 yr gynie checkup last Monday & he put me on…

Hello ladies. Just a quick note. (Want to keep us going). Made it back from city yesterday, which was good, as now in full blown winter storm conditions here. People seem to forget how to drive each year & bad roads with stupid drivers make travelling a challenge. Managed good LCHF over weekend until my dad's birthday…

My vote is private, also.

Hello ladies. Hope everyone has had a good week. How's your head Karla? It's good to be able to figure out what triggers them, just too bad it's usually after the fact & the bloody headache is flattening you. @ Janice. Where do you get the Natural Calm? Think I'll try some. Hubby thinks I'm crazy soaking in tub (with Epsom…

Thanks for the well wishes ladies. I'm scheduled for a CT scan in a week. Seems to be bit of problem as I'm allergic to seafood & have Hashimoto's which means extra prep as the contrast is iodine?? So have to be there 4 hrs ahead of time.(4 long hrs stressing about the IV. I really hate needles & IV's never go smoothly for…

Good morning ladies. Think the weekend was the last of our fall & now winter has set in, darn it. @Karla so glad you got the job! How wonderful for you. It's been great sharing the journey with you. I still haven't lost since the end of July, but I haven't gained either so maybe my body is just trying to get thru this…

Good morning/evening ladies. Can't sleep again, but at least have time to catch up on my MFP reading, lol. It's great to see how you all are. My furniture painting is coming along slowly (the whole brain-to-ability ratio) but by my 3rd dresser I should have it figured out. Finding vintage/antique dresser knobs has been a…

Just have to say that I would buy bubblegum by the pound when I was pregnant (maybe why I gained 75 lbs). For years my mum would get that "look" whenever she caught me getting it again, lol.

I cooked my veggies in butter, then threw in chicken broth & simmered til soft, then blended in blender, then added heavy cream & blended again. Wow was it good & simple too.
