  • check out reddit. r/keto and r/ketogains. My diary is open so you are welcome to check it out however I don't always do that great following my macros and sometimes accurate tracking on mfp so I'm not the best example. Healthy fats for me though include almonds and coconut oil. genaw.com has great low carb high fat recipes…
  • I love hearing everyone's opinions! I just got my vivofit on Black Friday and I love it. I also have a polar HRM that I use for working out but the vivofit is fun...really motivates me to get up and move more and I love tracking my steps. It's also very comfortable to wear as there is no way I would wear a chest strap all…
  • Yum! I saw this on r/ketorecipes but forgot about it. definitely going to try them soon!
  • I really hope so because I'm up 6.4 pounds as of this morning. Of course I haven't had a great BM for the last couple of days and today is day 21 of keto. Initially lost 12 pounds in the first 2 weeks. Not as fun hopping on the scale this week! lol KCKO!
  • While this explains what's going on with me this month. I started keto 20 days ago and just realized that I'm about 1 1/2 weeks late for my period. Could also explain why the scale is going up though that's probably PISS too!
  • Congratulations! June will be here before you know it. Not everyone can or should do low carb. Everyone's body is different and you have to find what works for you. Even before my surgery on my two week fast that consisted of one scoop protein powder and 6 packets sugar free carnation instant breakfast with whole milk, I…
  • Thank you. I was very disappointed in myself for regaining, but at least I'm still 100+ down from where I was before the surgery and I know I can get there again. Lot's of solid protiens and low carbs and I'm exercising 30-90 minutes a day with no more excuses! Even though we got a foot of snow yesterday, summer is right…

  • I had my gastric bypass 4 years ago. Experienced numerous problems as it kept closing and they'd do an endoscopy to push it open again. Then they punctured it and I ended up with a feeding tube in my side. Surgery was redone successfully about 5 months later. I ended up losing my job as I spent a total of 9 weeks in the…
  • I love all of Linda's low carb recipes! Especially since she gives such great pointers!!
  • forgot about the irritable and the no sleeping. that's when I know my meds need to be changed. been up since 4am. guess it's time to call my endo!
  • Hot flashes, hand tremors, rapid heartrate, arrhythmia, weight loss. I was actually on heart meds for 6 months until we final got my meds right. Now the meds make it hard to lose weight. My SO is hypothyroid. Together we're a hot mess!
  • I love roasting with olive oil, garlic and spices. Another fav of my SO is when I steam the cauliflower, then add a mix of 1/2 cup mayo, 1/4 cup dijon and mix together. Then sprinkle a 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese. sprinkle a little cayenne on and roast in oven until cheese is bubby
  • So yesterday my Ghee came and I tried the BPC again this morning. 2 tbsp Ghee (which smells amazing BTW), 1 Tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder, sprinkle of cinnamon and 2 drops liquid splenda. All with 12 oz of coffee in my Ninja. It was very good. However (TMI) an hour later I was on the toilet. This started at 7am…
  • 6 days a week of intense exercise is too much to start out with. You have to work up to that or you could burn out. My suggestion is to skip the spin classes (of course I really hate spin and probably never gave it much of a chance). Do the boot camp every other day and on the days in between take a yoga or pilates or a…
  • Park far away. Take stairs unstead of elevators. Try Tabata. Only 4 minutes a day! http://ezinearticles.com/?Tabata-Anything---Four-Minutes-of-Pain-to-Gain&id=348486
  • Didn't have butter or ghee, but decided to give this a shot today. Used 2 tbsp coconut oil, 1/2 tbsp cocoa and added heavy cream to my coffee. Didn't pull out the blender. Drank it at 7am. Didn't enjoy it and felt a little sick to my stomach, but it's now 2pm and I'm still not hungry. Brought to hard boiled eggs to work…
  • I love the Quest bars as they are large and work as a meal substitute as they are supposed to be. Really fill you up. Best if you nuke them for 15-20 seconds though. Then they are soft and chewy. Just ordered a big box and I can't wait!! Atkins made me stall on weight loss. Ate them like candy. Just one or two for a treat…
  • This is another favorite and very versitile: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Spaghetti-Squash-I/
  • Sounds delish! Going to try these this weekend!
  • I made this for me and my SO last night and we both loved it! Super easy and super healthy! Mediterranean Kale 12 cupschopped kale 2 tablespoonslemon juice 1 tablespoonolive oil, or as needed 1 tablespoonminced garlic 1 teaspoonsoy sauce salt to taste ground black pepper to taste 1.Place a steamer insert into a saucepan,…
  • Definitely trying this. I've been looking for new and interesting side dishes that are low carb for me but that my SO can enjoy as well.
  • I like to look GOOD at the gym! Makes me feel better! I usually wear cute yoga pants and a couple of long tanks that are tight fitting so they don't ride around and are long enough that my belly doesn't show or body parts hang out inappropriately! We work hard but all the girls in my boot camp and cardio classes pretty…
  • This! I love my Trader Joe's. Only 3 1/2 hours away from my home! Never leave without their Almond Meal (only $3.99 a pound!!) Also 100 cal dark chocolate bars Their puttenesca sauce lots of cheese Their Ethiopian coffee coconut oil
  • Oh they are amazing...and only found on Tower avenue in Superior. A link to their menu http://anchorbar.freeservers.com/custom3.html They were on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Definite dive and definitely delish!!
  • McDonalds I never miss, sometimes Culver's or In and Out Burger, but nothing beats an Anchor Bar burger! I would love to introduce you all to it...little dive in Superior, WI where you can get their 1/3 lb cream cheese green olive burger with fresh cut french fries for $4.25...and a vodka cranberry and your bill will reach…
