@anubis609 I am by no means lean. I have lots of "fat" to lose. I don't want to mess up my metabolism or make things worse. I should be able to get all my macros in tonight or at least the protein ones and close to the calories. Since you seem educated in this manner. My husband has been doing keto and has hit his…

So I have found the last few days I have very little appetite. I had two protein drinks yesterday to just meet my protein goal. But only about 1200 calories. Scale didn't budge today (which is I fine I get it won't go down daily). Today I went to lunch with some coworkers. I shouldn't have went. I really wasn't hungry but…

Thanks everyone! @River_Goddess this is not a typical day. Most day I'm either at or VERY close to hitting my protein goal. I don't "usually" fast but I just found I had no appetite yesterday morning. This morning I had no appetite right away but was hungry by 10am so I ate my breakfast. I'll probably eat a small snack…

Results from 1/2 No more coffee creamer: I had Starbucks this morning trying to get rid of my g/c money...I had to dump over half of it, too sweet. So semi-fail. I'm getting a frother this weekend and going to try BPC again No more excuses: Check Drink more water: Check (instead of getting maybe 20 oz in I got 36oz…

Restarting again. I was doing strictly low carb/keto for about 8 months. Did wonderful. Then got pregnant. It's not 5 months out and I'm trying to get back on the bandwagon. I've done ok on my own but not really dove full force. Well here I am. I'm back. Baby steps for me this week. Stop eating sweets No more coffee…

I'm on BCP, Zrytec, Prenatal, and Effexor XR

I don't know I may just do it before I start trying for baby 2.0 to just get a baseline and make sure everything is okay.

I tried on some of my dress pants today (I normally wear skirts/dresses to work in the summer) and they are all too big. Looks like I'll have to buy some new pants for this fall/winter for work! And I think I'll need a new bra soon as well! Woohoo!

Do you blend it hot? Will that hurt my blender

her lab results I think are good from what she says....she eats lots of fruit, oatmeal, carbs etc but she is of normal weight and does eat half of her food often. But I notice she is hungry quite often.

My NSV is that I finally got my husband on board after doing this WOE since Feb. He has lost 10 lbs since 2 weeks ago. He also realizes when we eat carby foods (this weekend) that we are hungry almost immediately after. But after eating LCHF all day there is no need to binge snack at 8pm!

I get a "coaching" on my results I think next week so I can't wait to see what she has to say. Normally she is pretty educated and understands low carb. I also have told her that I am down LCHF and she was okay with it. So we shall see!! Plus I hit my goal weight target. I made my goal from 188.8 (where I started in Jan)…

explain?

Thanks guys!! I knew that HDL the higher the number was good. I was just worried about my cholesterol. So I can keep eating my bacon :smiley: ! My BP is usually under the normal range of 120/60 so that's not an issue for me. I have also learned today that my body responds really well to staying 20 carbs or under and lots…

I caved a lot this past weekend. I passed my core health so I had JJ and a cookie, ice cream cake that night for dinner. Saturday I had Applebees for dinner and a blizzard that night, Sunday I had tons of bad stuff for breakfast and that night I had big bowl of popcorn, Monday I had a donut for breakfast, half of a Frosty…

I'm 5'3 SW: 188.8 Started LC sometime in Feb I believe CW: 176 LW: 174 GW: 130ish I'm even more excited because I finally got my husband on board!

Thanks. Its been a rough few days. I don't know why I'm slacking so much. I just need to buckle down and start over new.

Well I failed miserably. I did half of what you guys told me. I had the pulled pork, side salad, green beans, and hashbrown casserole and cake. I feel AWFUL this morning. I need to start remembering how this feels and stop eating like crap!

What about sides if I do the pulled pork or grilled chop

First time doing a challenge. I need to do this as we are TTC starting in October and I want to get off another chunk of weight before then. I started doing this WOE in February and have fallen in love with it. But between vacations, getting sick, and being lazy I've slacked a lot the past month or so. SW: 188.8 CW: 178…

Very small ones but they make me realize how far I've come.... Went to movies yesterday. No snacks etc purchased. Went to Texas Roadhouse and normally I would get sweet tea and a baked potato as my choices. Instead I had a salad and green beans and had a water.

Oh trust me I've read all that stuff in the beginning and I was fully aware of it all. I just didn't do it this time around so I suffered.

I also gained 5lbs over my week long vacation but it was a blast and I enjoyed all the indulgences I had. I'm down 3 of those as of this morning so I'm hoping to shed the rest of those by this weekend.

Thanks everyone! I got switched to a stronger drug on Monday. I'm feeling better the past few days. Still have an annoying cough but they said that will linger. I've been off track for a few days but I'm ready to get back on it. Also my son is finally feeling better after almost 2 weeks sick. And no loose stools for him…

Those look really yummy!!!

Oh don't worry no fries or cookies for me for awhile. I'm at my mini goal weight for our trip to Florida which is in 3 weeks....

And I'm up a lb this morning. But I think I did eat to much yesterday and had too many carbs. Back down to 20g for me.

Thanks lady. You always seem to be my voice reason with this WOE.

I haven't lost any weight in awhile, but I've noticed my stomach is getting "harder" around where your abs are suppose to be...now if I just get this mommy pouch to go away!
