@Libellule23 Congrats on your loss. You must feel great! What are you limiting your total carbs to a day?

Thanks for the tips on snacks. Yes. I think I'll get away from the Quest bars. @RoosterDJC - Please post if you try that Phat Fudge. I just looked up the recipe and it looks really interesting. @KnitOrMiss - Epic Bars?? Just looked them up and they look great. Which ones do you like?

Hey everybody! Happy belated New Year. Glad to see some old...and by 'old' I mean 'familiar'...folks on this thread. Last week I started paying harder attention to things again - I was up 12 lbs from March. Went back on LC (not enough fat to call it keto) last week and dropped almost 4 over the past 7 days. Always…

Thanks for this today. I needed the reminder that this is the long haul and that it's never too late to start again.

Good morning everybody! Well, the summer just took me away and now I'm back...and up about 15 pounds. It really takes me no time to pack it on. :( So my status is now about 30 lbs from goal. Hopped back on keto a few days ago, going very low carb to try to kick my body in gear. Discovered this morning that my Aria scale…

Hi everyone - Just checking in...lurking... Wanted to say thanks for the inspiration and enjoy your day!

Hi everyone. Just checking in. When I don't read the forums and check in, my food stuff is usually not going well. I wonder - do I not come and check in because it's not going well? Or is it not going well because I'm not checking in?? Its the chicken and the egg conundrum. Either way. Trying again. @thebuffster40 - I'm a…

Hi amberatkinsagain. Welcome! I do weigh my food. I've never learned to listen to my body around satiety (really, really, working on this) so feel like I need to retrain about portions. Also, I have some pretty disordered eating patterns (read: binge eating disorder) and would happily gorge until I was ill on keto…

I do the above except I add some peanut butter. Yummy! Sometimes I'll throw in a bit of coconut. a great keto friendly treat.

First, please know that I have so much empathy for this and have been there more times than I can count. I'd agree with @baconslave that I found the The Beck Diet Solution helpful. Also, The Thin Woman's Brain. Both are DIY cognitive behavioral therapy. I think of the 2, I like the Thin Woman's Brain better. While I still…

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I'm following @FIT_Goat's 30 days of ground beef. I'd love to keep in contact with others who are embarking on this great body experiment!

@ChoiceNotChance - I'm starting the ground beef thang from now (starting today) until at least April 15. Are you on a thread for All Animal April? If so, would you post it? :smiley:

Good morning everybody - @FIT_Goat and @glossbones, I have really been enjoying reading about your journey! I am starting today. I plan to focus on beef (all kinds) but am going to finish some other meats that I have in the fridge over the first few days (waste not, want not!). You make it sound so fun in your posts...heh.…

@glossbones Wow! Thanks. Super intrigued by this. I'm thinking of trying this out.

I'm curious about your ground beef protocol...what else are you eating and what brought you to this? And how do you feel?

Running! This. We've had so much rain this winter and spring (rainiest on record) I have not wogged (I walk and jog intermittently) at all since September. I think it contributes a lot to my mood, motivation and mindfulness. Good for you on getting out there! I want to know about the 20lb weight on your hip. Is it one of…

Oh no! Sweetener is kind of an important component in cheesecake. If it was a no-bake I bet you could scoop out the filling and blend in the sweetener and try again. I'm looking forward to trying a keto cheese cake. I've looked at them but just never followed through. If you think you have it perfect feel free to share the…

Cheesy potatoes with hams sounds good. Maybe I'll make a cheesy cauliflower au gratin with ham in the next week. Nom! Re: mindfulness, I keep breathing. :smile: Dropped a few pounds of water this week while doing an egg fast. Transitioning off now with more variety but still very low carb and high fat. I have an event…

Good morning everyone! Yesterday, paused a few times to take some breaths. However, I sat and ate my lunch in front of my computer without even thinking about it! I was driving home before I was like, Oh, wait a minute, I was supposed to have a mindful lunch... Today is another day. I'm listening (again) to a book on…

I did it for awhile, more a function of just not being hungry and being really busy, than purposely at first. I'd have coffee with a little coconut oil in the morning (around 6am) then eat from 2-8, so 18/6 I guess? I did this for about a month and had great results in both weight loss and sustained energy. That said, at…

Yesterday was day two of my egg fast. Strayed slightly...to the tune of 20 carbs but it could have been so much worse so I'm actually fairly proud of myself. Dropped two pounds of water yesterday. Evidently, during my little (and by that I mean "huge") carb binge, I'd really bloated up. My hunger has abated with all of the…

Good morning everyone! Day three of my egg fast and mindful focus... Yesterday I sat and ate lunch alone, quietly, no computer. Wow. Super freaky! I plan to do it again today. Taking deep breaths. I also invested in a Passion Flower tincture. I read that it was good for anxiety and insomnia. I struggle with anxiety and my…

Wow. That's just beautiful. Congratulations on your success. It's pretty amazing.

:smiley: Thanks! Good morning! Today I will stop and breathe at regular intervals and I will eat lunch without staring at the computer. This last one is a big deal for me. I always "work" while I eat lunch...and sometimes dinner...just saying that I'm not going to do that causes anxiety. There's something to think about.

This is great. Will you be sharing? The last time I had labs (a few years ago) and had been doing keto for a few months at the time the results were very, very good. I'm interested to hear how things go for you.

Hi there! I've been working on this and am happy to have somewhere to discuss it. I installed a little free app on my phone that sounds a chime every two hours between 9 and 7. Every time it chimes I'm stopping, taking three deep breaths and checking in with my physical self, my emotional self and my intellectual self.…

Well, so far so good! Coffee blended with coconut oil and cinnamon for breakfast, lunch was two boiled eggs with a tablespoon and a half of mayo, dinner - 3 eggs with a couple of tablespoons of butter (and tabasco). Feeling pretty satiated at the moment. Gotta plan for tomorrow. Fortunately I have a pinterest board…

Welcome back from vacation! I hope you had a wonderful time. I have been...well, binge eating carbs regularly for the past month. :( I decided this morning to do an egg fast to get back on track. I figure it might be a little rough, but trying to gradually get back on is not working (I haven't been able to be consistent…

Hi there, welcome to the board and congrats on your big loss! Even though a little's come back that's nothing to sneeze at. Here are two of my favorite recipe blogs. Yummy, yummy, yummy! Let me know what you think. http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/ http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/
