I also have bulging disks and have found that swimming and Aquafit/aquaerobics do I great job of protecting my back and keeping my heart rate up.

I love Isopure unflavored whey protein. 0 everything except protein 25grams. It mixes well and can be used hot or cold or baked. I put it in my coffee for breakfast.

I just restarted my diet and started exercise at the same time. I find it gets me into ketosis more quickly than diet alone. I feel more energy after exercise. I do Pilates, aquafit and PT.

I have RA and Crohn's disease and a congenital hip defect. I definitely have days where I use a walker. And I use a cane alot. I kept hearing that keto is an anti inflammatory diet that would help with my immune problems but I still manage to have flares on it. Swimming and pilates is the only exercise I do. I have 2 small…

CW 211 I have been cheating but still trying to keep calories low and exercise up to hit my goal of 210 by Saturday.

Trying to remember it is a Holi-DAY not free for all season. CW 215

I have the hardest time getting back on the Keto wagon when I fall off but once I am in the mode I find no trouble staying there. I try to remind myself of how much better I feel. What helped me this time was moderating my lapses. 1.) If I lapsed I immediately get back on it the next meal by having a variety of salads and…

Knudsen's is the best. Doesn't taste diet at all. I love to eat mine with blueberries (fresh or dried) and pumpkin seeds.

I fell off the wagon pretty badly for a while and regained a bunch of weight but I finally lost it and am back on track. CW 219

That is amazing!!! After having kids and losing weight being naked in the mirror can sometimes be dissappointing but Remember your goal. Your kids have a healthier mom who will live longer. I am sure once your skin has a chance to recover and you lose your last pounds you will see a diiference. And of course if you have…

I have several family members who have had sleeve and would do it again in a heartbeat. All of them lost weight but most are still heavy and struggle with their weight because diet and exercise is still key with or without the surgery. The post surgery diet is pretty draconian. I went in for the consults and second…

Just wanted to check in and say I am doing fine now that I added the magnesium. Been eating extra avocados for Potassium but will pick up some powder soon. Thanks!!

Thanks for the reminder! I forgot about the magnesium. I have Calm packets around and I just took one. And an avocado for good measure.

I really like having premium so I can track my grams not percentages. It makes it much easier. I set my protein to 90 grams. Carb 20gram is the usual induction (I do more because I am breastfeeding) and then the rest of your calories via fat. Set your preferences to show fiber in your daily diary totals if you are doing…

Thank you!!

I have craving and energy problems the first 2-3 of days but once I get firmly in Keto my energy levels go through the roof. It is when I eat starch that I crave and get lethargic. I personally can't eat tubers but I can lose weight with small daily amounts of beans. I also can stay in Keto when I have moderate amounts of…

My recipe is very similar only I do mine in Jumbo silicon muffin pans so I can grab one easily to go in the morning for breakfast. 6 jumbo eggs 6oz ham (Trader Joe's healthy ham) 3oz of cheese 1/4 onion 1/2 c half n half or heavy cream 35 minutes in a 350 degree oven. The ones I made today were Denver style with green…

SW 267 (280 postpartum) CW 226 Short term goal One-derland!!! Long-term goal 150

Thank you for posting those incredible photos!!! I am coming from 262lbs trying to get back to my pre-baby weight and you are giving life!

I make cauliflower and cheese every year for the holidays. Mollie Katzen's recipe. It is truly better than starch.

I have an upper belly too! I have never had one before In fact I always had an hourglass figure that gained in thighs in butt more than waist, but now I have a spare tire apple figure after 2 kids and countless IVFs. I didn't take any photos at my highest 262(postpartum) and I am currently 234 5'7", but I am hoping that by…

There is a low carber daily forum group you can join. Just ask to join. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group

Thanks!

Maybe some of you missed the part about the baby waking up 2hours early for her breastfeeding plus the fall back hour? I am up 2-3 hours early. Not one. Maybe I should have posted in a nursing mother thread.

Yum! Thanks! This was today's lunch: Arugula, prosciutto, black olives, San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil and homemade pesto (pine nuts, Parmigiano, basil olive oil, salt).

I eat this with two hard boiled eggs for my late breakfast. Crudites with 2oz of my "Guilt free Ranch" I make it with Strauss Full-Fat Yogurt, salt, pepper, onion, garlic powder, dill, chives, basil, oregano and a squeeze of lemon wedge. The dip is soooo good I cannot imagine I ever ate yogurt with honey because savory…

My BF is 5'1" 125ish and she has had great success wearing GAP kids! I know that sounds strange but she looks fab. Because she is a true hourglass figure if she doesn't wear fitted she will look heavy.

When I started dieting again this month I had decided to only cheat on my birthday, Thanksgiving Day (no leftovers) and Christmas Day. Now that my birthday is almost here I don't think I have been dieting long enough to break my concentration so I am going to do Thanksgiving, Christmas and maybe a glass of wine on New…

First time in 27 years! That is really an accomplishment! Mazel Tov! Wishing you continued success and ever greater health.
