Ok I am in. I have fallen into carb land and again all I think about is food. I am going to restart Keto and then move into Paleo. But I have to end the carbs so my hunger stops. Good luck.

Thank you for the replies. I really keep moving during sets rest is minimal. I am getting stronger and real definition. So that is good. Stay strong.

Good luck. You can add me my food diary is open. I try to keep my carbs under 100 carbs. I eat clean as often as I can. I do cave sometimes but that is human. Focus on fitness and drink lots of water. None of us planned to be overweight life just gets in the way of taking care of our own self. It took me almost 2 years to…

I am motivated with LCHF or Paleo because I was a size 18/20 now a size 6/8. Everyday as a foodie is a struggle to make the right choice. That has not changed. But not having to choose elastic pants and buttoning a size 8 is great. I eat to live not living to eat. Stay the course and we all are better.

Remember what is important. Health and fitness. You can do this. I agree you need to still plan your morning the night before and get exercise. You have a lifestyle of health so enjoy the season not the crap.

Well done!!

I fractured my hip on the treadmill and will be having surgery to put pins into the hip. Yes it scares the dickens out of me. However not…

Thank you for sharing. WOW! Blue, Juliet and Morning Ghost thanks if this was summer it would not be so bad. But winter in Florida is our only time for comfortable road races. Ghost both hips? Ouch! Blue how did you get a doctor not to do surgery? Happy you are both able to run. Enjoy. Patsy

I turn 55yrs old this month. I have been planning to run a 1/2 marathon for oh 5yrs!! Started training when I was 50 yrs. Got really run down visited my daughters school UF and caught mono. It has taken a very long time to build my immune system back. But this was the year to mark the 1/2 off my bucket list and it seems I…

Well I missed a great thread. My goal is to stay the course. I will taste Christmas and enjoy the day of but stay the course before and after. I am so happy I found LCHF friends and menus. I am going to reach my goal of being in the "health" weight for my 5ft9in self. That is one of my goals for the New Year of 2015. Now…

Low Carb High Fat has been great for my DH and I. I am not perfect. I slide sometimes and eat poorly. Then I carb crash and need a nap. lol. But for me and my family get refine sugar and bread out of the house. Eat real food you make at home. Drink lots of water. Diet soda is a rarity as is all diet anything. Frozen…

I use ziplock bags and containers for ready to heat up meals. I use the crock pot for healthy meals I season. Then use the containers to prepare for the week. Have food you can grill in the freezer. Take them out the night before for the next day and always make enough for the next day after. I buy a head of lettuce and…

Thanks great inspiration. You look healthy and strong.

Lutz,Fl a bit North of Tampa. My profile is Honeymoon Island a beautiful beach if you are in the area. Very old Florida. Can easily walk or run 7 or 8 miles around trails and the island. Watch for rattlesnakes this is truly old Florida. So very pretty.

Hi Leslie I am a runner LCHF. Add me if you like. Keep it real and have an open diary so we all learn what is working together. I just did a 90 day focus. Lost 12lbs and several inches. I also suffered from endometriosis. My children are adopted and now young adults. Keep your options open. Patsy

I am a runner. I also am bothered with hip pain. Here is a web site I found that I use to stretch those muscles we use when we sprint. http://www.muscle-pull.com/muscle-pull-injury-finder.php hope you feel better soon. Do not rush your body to heal. Give it time so you can reach that goal. Patsy

Protein shake full of vitamins after 5k 5x a week. I also use gummie fiber Phillips. I am not a fan of pills. Rather eat the season food and stay low carb. Lots of water and rest.

Thanks Jess. I avoid yogurt to many carbs. I do try to cook ahead and eat {pick} meats and veggies. I probably will buy more nuts. Make sugar free jello. Run more.

Good morning beautiful women. I am working very hard to stay the course and record all my MFP commitments. My mother n law 85yrs took fall and has a traumatic brain injury. Please pray that God hand will be merciful and let things go smoothly. She will leave rehab on Friday and move to ASL. The apartment we picked out is…

My food diary is open. I use PBFIT and Muscle Milk creamy vanilla. You can add me and see the foods I eat. Patsy

I would like my waist to be 30in . I am now doing low carb to see if it will make a waist change. My BMI after I hit the BMI 25 I think I will go to the lower end to help with aging. Current BMI is 28

I jog a 5k 5x a week and the pain in my hip would stop me in my tracks. This picture shows the stretch I do lying on the floor. Cured the pain. http://www.shapefit.com/exercise-guides/stretching-exercises-lying-hip-stretch.html Patsy
