Being a 34F, I can't help a lot from experience as strapless is NOT an option for me. There are options out there if you google "backless bra".

Captain and diet, crystal light and vodka, mio and vodka or mio and rum. for a "treat" an almond milk "mudslide" using Davinci kahlua and chocolate flavored syrups mixed with either vodka or white rum. The irish cream syrup in almond milk and vodka works really well.

Mmm ice cream! I treated myself to 2 scoops of Ben & Jerry's after last week's 5k walk. I dont think I have ever eaten ice cream so slowly or enjoyed it quite so much! Another 5k walk tomorrow. Wondering what my refeed is going to look like this week.

Thank you for the suggestion Kira! I hadn't heard of this one before.

I find that when I take a break from keto, I feel bloaty and gross. However, I have not paid attention to if it is after eating only glutenous products.

Great job! Your hard work and dedication have paid off :)

I eat a ketogenic diet where I keep my net carbs under 20gm a day. Some have great luck still losing weight with 50-100 gms. I typically don't do "refeeds", although, for the purpose of an experiment, I will be starting them, but I have been on a keto diet for almost 10 months and am "fat adapted". In my case, the deep…

I have been living a ketogenic life style (typically 35% protein/60% fat/5% carbs, although I am more like 70% fat, 25 % protein) since Sept 14, 2012 and I don't see it as a doom at all! How can I feel doomed when I get to eat things like chicken stuffed with jalapeno cream cheese wrapped in bacon?!? If you are interested…

I will be doing my first refeed this weekend. I am doing a "ladies night out" 5k (can't beat a race that ends with flowers, wine, and chocolate!!). I am curious to see what happens.

I would like to join if there is still room.

There is a difference between ketoacidocis and ketosis. "Ketosis/lipolysis and ketoacidosis are two completely different metabolic processes which share only the same by-product and unfortunately similar names. The state of ketoacidosis is due to wildly high blood sugar and a failed pancreas, whereas ketosis is the result…

It tastes like crustless cheesecake. If I am feeling REALLY adventurous, I put a teaspoon of almond butter in the bottom of the cup.

I weigh myself every morning, after using the bathroom, before having food or coffee. I record daily, but I am considering changing that since I seem to be a slave to the day to day numbers and fail to see the bigger picture. We are doing a weight loss competition at work right now, and we weigh in weekly. I see my day to…

One of my favorites is 2 oz cream cheese, 1 packet of true lime crystals, and sweetener to taste. 198 cals 2 gms carbs 20 gms fat 4 gms of protien

I saw this recipe and was curious about it. Guess I know what will be on my next ff menu :)

As I have adapted (10 months on keto), I find that the energy spike is slightly less. However, the 3pm "energy wall" is gone. I tend to find that I have more constant energy. I also find that I don't tend to get as ravenous.

You look amazing. I have found a far more informative, supportive group of ketoers here than anywhere else. I am learning a lot. I have seriously considered going back to the LF lifestyle I lived years ago when I dropped 90 lbs out of frustration with the lack of weight loss, but I feel so much better on keto. Guess I just…

Muscle growth?

Thanks for this. I have been hugely frustrated with my stall lately. I love the way being on keto for the past 10 months has made me feel, but like many, I started keto to lose weight, and I haven't really gotten anywhere.

A lot of us get our carbs from our leafy green veggies, so we get a good amount of fiber :) I can honestly say I eat more, and a greater variety, of veggies since I went keto in Sept 2012. Before then, you would never catch me eating zucchini, eggplant, brussell sprouts, or avocado. Now, they are kind of staples. For those…

A ketogenic diet, under 20 gms of carbs a day, most of which come from veggies. No grains or breads. Added strength training 3-4 days a week and walking at lease 2.5 miles a day above "normal activity" 5 days a week.

If only McD's did! Both McD's and Dunks coffees register carbs. That was an "on the road" drink, I would have preferred to make my own.

84 miles mtd :)

I'm in

About 13 years ago, I lost 70 lbs using light hand weights (ie. 3/5/8 lbs) using a few different books by Joyce Vedral and changing my diet. (Bathing suit Workout, Definition, Fat Burning Workout, and Bottoms Up) She has some videos on the market, but I personally preferred her books. Think of it this way, if a 60 year old…

I see a lot of processed foods in your diet, and a lot of sugar laden drinks (6 packets of sugar in your coffee, kool-aid). I would suggest trying to cut back on the sugar going into your coffee (when I cut back on sweeteners, I cut back by one unit for a few weeks, then down another.) I would suggest you try adding in…

Photo shoot for hubs, and actually wear a bathing suit without a cover up at our friends' :)

A Keto treat to be sure!
