Magnesium helps me with my leg cramps....without it, I suffer big time at night!!!

I made a spaghetti squash on Saturday and have had made 3 meals out if it....twice with marinara & crumbled sausage and tonight with chopped beef, sautéed spinach and Alfredo....YUM!!!! Who needs Pasta?!?!?

Me too....a juicy burger with avocado, blue cheese and mayo!! YUM!! So much better then a dry turkey sandwich!!! ;)

We cannot see your Diary to see what it is your eating.... I eat a Low Carb/High Fat (Keto) diet and Yes, in the beginning the lack of carbs can make you tired and sluggish, but what ARE you eating for your energy.....are you eating high fat foods? mostly protein? If you open your diary we can get a better idea of what to…

I found that when I logged what I ate - it was the first time I REALLY understood why I was gaining the weight! Yes, I knew I was over eating or eating the wrong foods, but I didn't realize HOW MUCH I WAS over eating!!!! Sure, some people can do it without logging - but I did, and it MOTIVATED me and made me aware of…

I have also found a big difference in opinion when I was on a low fat diet years ago, compared to a Low carb/ high fat diet. I was once one of those people who was convinced that FAT made you fat and eating things like Bacon or adding butter or oil was the WORST thing for you to do..... Yes, I lost weight on a low fat…

Just moved to WInston Salem from Long Island....trying to lose the "Stress of moving" weight <g>

I just recently moved to Winston Salem from Long Island. Unfortunately, the snow and cold seemed to have followed me here. LOL!! Welcome! ~Kathy

I personally do not eat back my exercise calories - that is why I do not track it on MFP...but there are alot of people that do. Some people can do great and keep losing weight by eating back some or even all - but there are others that find they cannot and have to limit it. You really will not know unless you try. But I…

It was tough for me at first to wrap my head around eating all that FAT....since I was brainwashed all of those years that Fat made you fat. How wrong they were (and how upset I was at myself for believing that lie!!) I felt soooo guilty at first to add butter to my foods - cook with oil (instead of PAM)....heavy cream in…

Chia seeds are sold in places like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, even some of the drug stores (Walmart, CVS - etc) & some grocery stores have them....if you do not want to hunt them down, you can order them online. They are high fiber - have some fat to them - lots of Omega 3!! When you soak them in liquid (I use unsweetened…

I have two desserts that I enjoy....One is the very basic (but hits the stop) Sugar Free jello with Whipped cream! I have this usually when I head to watch TV at night. Gets that sugar-fix that I crave at night. The 2nd is I make a Chia Pudding....Chia seeds with almond milk - sometimes I add cocoa powder - unsweetened…

Cramps/Charlie Horses are the worst!!! I take Magnesium supplements - but also soak my feet on occasion in Epsom Salt. That really helps. Also make sure you are getting enough potassium (you can log it on MFP) I have upped my Almond milk intake, to up mine a bit. I have been off a bit lately....just added that to my diary…

I usually cut it up in chunks and eat it with my bunless burger....on top of my omelette or with some chicken, salmon, etc. I also add it to tuna fish. its sooo yummy and really good for you!!!! Enjoy!

Yes, you really need to open your diary for us to see what you may (or may not) be doing wrong.

Congrats!!!!!!!! Thats amazing news. I have recently switched to a Low Carb diet and feel so much better!! Good job!

I am new to Keto myself - but what I did notice on your diary is that you are set for 21g of Carbs a day total.....but your shakeology shake alone is 21 g ....so that is basically your ENTIRE days worth - so anything else you have during the day with carbs puts you over. It probably stands out to me, because I try & keep…

Yes - I have read alot about it - and are starting it ourselves. It has to be RAW Honey - and you are supposed to use CEYLON Cinnamon (not the kind you buy in the supermarket. Whole foods sell sit - and of course online. I have read many many people swear by it - I have the Ceylon Cinnamon on order (my Whole foods is sold…

I just bought 2 cases of La Croix today at Whole Foods.....I bought the Coconut and Cran-Raspberry flavors. I think I may have FINALLY found something that will help me with water consumption, without adding all those chemicals and sugars with Crystal light and MiO (which to me have a bit of an aftertaste) I think I am…

Sent you a request! :flowerforyou:

I find it easier too to eat alot of the same things during the day.....I switch it up a bit (Cottage cheese and fruit one day, and maybe Greek Yogurt the next) They are both around the same calories and I know I am eating something healthy and fits into my calories for the day/week. I always make batches of…

I am on everyday and my diary is open - would love some motivating friends too - anyone here feel free to add me!! I will send you a friend request! ~K

Good job!!! You look Amazing! Keep it going! ~K

My daughter bought the Shakeology - she told me to give it a try. (how could it hurt - she had the Chocolate flavor <and I LOVE Chocolate!!!> I tried it........ONCE. It was soooo disgusting! :noway: I have had Whey Protein shakes that were REALLY yummy - but this stuff was NOT for me (hey....to each his own) I have heard…
