Congratulations!! Good things come to...well...all of us who look for good things! I am certainly impressed by your positive nature and am thrilled for you! :)

@ambergem1969 Congrats on day 9!! Getting ready for a new patient, here in Texas. Road motorcycle in to work today! Quite a chill in the air, but now it's in the 80'sF. Think we'll take a road trip this weekend....somewhere with beach or green! How's your day going?

Well, this discussion explains a lot for me....so shake it is! :p

I made cream cheese pancakes for the first time this weekend too!

now, THAT is truly cool!

Thank you, @Dragonwolf !

Poking my head in to say, "Hi, Y'all!" Rocky eating weekend, but I am back (with two evil meals behind me)! Woo-hoo!

A doctor from the late 1800"s had an obese patient and limited his carbs and increased his fats and protein. He had success. It's a truly informative story. I read this story before I read the sites for LCHF. I can't quite remember if the patient was Banting or the doctor was Banting....anyone?

Hi, Women! What's up today? I'm having a terrific evening over here in Texas. Cooking a broccoli cheese side dish to go with a sausage/beef meatloaf....had a shrimp, bacon, cream cheese, jalapeño thingy to curb the appetite.....Mmmmmm! No patients tomorrow, so time to catch up on online training :# !

@Karlottap Oh No!!! Lisinopril definitely! That is too much time lost!!! I am so sorry you are having to deal with this!

Hi Gilly! Good morning, wonderful people! Off to work for me!

@Karlottap and @SoosannahK that caramel extract sounds so good! I need to rummage through my icebox shelves and see if that one came with the ton of other extracts. @Karlottap Splenda is the worst! I can barely get out of bed when I use that stuff! And I get belly fat and weight gain from it! It's evil! Worse than sugar…

Take a good look at the whites of your eyes and make sure you do not have jaundice. Get other health issues ruled out first, especially if you have a trusted doc. That being said, try ice or cool cloth to the itchy areas. Ice can help the itching on the palms and warm spots. Try a glycerin free moisturizer. Glycerin based…

Hi, folks! Good to see everyone! My new year is starting well. Enough about me, how ARE you guys?

LCHF has helped me. Turmeric is also excellent. I have zero abdominal pain now, especially those lower quadrants and kidney area.

Here's mine tonight: Fat pork chop with HWC, butter, pork drippings, cashew milk and gluten gravy, red cabbage with vinegar!

@lowjax75 Bwahahahahahahhahahahhahahaa!

@canadjineh LOL...glazed eyes indeed! That's not boredom, that's doughnut icing off of a crispy cream!!! I better shut my pie hole now...

Jane, I should also say intermediate density lipoproteins transport all types of triglycerides and cholesterol, also. They also help Atheros grow into atherosclerosis. What I am not sure of, is if they lead to unstable plaques or stable plaques in the blood vessels.

Jane, Complex explanation: Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL's, triglyceride transporters from our gut and liver to muscles and our "fat"), degrade into "intermediate lipoproteins". Intermediate lipoproteins, like all lipoproteins, are fat transporters, differentiated by how well they float. Some Intermediate…

@MilllieMoo That looks gorgeous!!! AND YUMMY!

Did I mention that I'm a cardiac rehab nurse...LOL! Talk about being tugged by guilt! Statins....thumbs down! @Karlottap , AGREED! I have to teach the folks that have had stents and CABG's, etc. about diet, medication compliance, yadda yadda yadda....AAAaaarrrrgggg (that's my pirate sound)!

Once, when I had fallen out of touch on MFP, one MFP friend, whom I did not know well, messaged me and asked how I was doing, said I was missed. It made all of the difference and I am back. Now, when I see that a MFP friend has fallen off of the grid, I send them a message that they are missed. I made a commitment to…

Janice, painting the snow....I love that. I remember a Christmas snow here in Texas maybe 10 years back. We got up in the middle of the night and made snow angels in every yard! My little poodle had snow balls stuck in her puffs and her expression was priceless...it said, "Mo om!" When she shook her feet, I imagined the…

Oh, and HIIIIII! @canadjineh !

SEA SALT CARAMELS!!!!!!! RUN!!! We have Buccee's down here in Texas. It's like a 7-11, but Buccee is a Beaver. He has every thing from cappuccino and kolaches to cheese, BBQ and hummus. For a beaver, he's pretty savvy. He also sells firepits, deer feeders, surfboards, etc. So on those late night tones, you can pick up a…

Oh, terrific, @krazyforyou ! What wonderful endeavor do you have on your new job list? Even though I don't know you, I have pictured you as a writer, poet, or surfer (something the rest of us average jo's would never try)! @Karlottap I have fur babies to replace those lovely babies that I never had! I send all of you…

@CMYCRGB OOOOooooooooo....YUMMY! I wish I had taken a picture of my supper....BUUUuuuuuut....I ate it!!! Ribeye, with sautéed cauliflower, mushrooms and red onion.....THAT omelet is my mornings recipe!!!! Is that dill or...?

@Karlottap terrific idea, HWC in some tea! I had forgotten all about that creamy goodness!!
