I can eat ALL the things when I’m ovulating. Every month for about 5 days I’m starving no matter what way I eat. Sometimes I’ll eat at maintenance calories a few days and it helps. Or just chain drink herbal tea to keep my mouth occupied.

Keto Mug Bread. https://m.forkly.com/recipes/one-minute-keto-mug-bread/ Only takes a couple minutes to make. Good with everything. Sometimes I make it with herbs and garlic, sometimes I mix it with stevia and vanilla instead of salt and spices and have a slice for dessert with butter or whipped cream and a few raspberries!

I was just wondering - since this is a cauliflower rice thread.... Mine always ends up sort of soggy. What am I doing wrong? I was using fresh riced from a bag. Do I need to do something to remove more moisture?

Smoked cheddar sausage slices, Dill pickles, mozzarella cheese, garlic butter, roasted chicken (breast and thigh), cucumber salad with sour cream. Mmm. :) *edit: I apparently don’t know how to post a picture normally, sorry!

I really liked oatmeal cookie and peanut butter, but the cookies and cream was sort of meh. I’m glad they finally stock it in Canada, though. :)

Been Keto for almost 3 months. I love it. Pros so far: Lost 14 pounds... some of which is water I’m sure. No longer need prescription acne medication. No longer need sleeping medication. I used to take 10mg of melatonin to fall asleep. Don’t wake 5 times to pee at night, can sleep 9 hours without moving. Way less hungry,…

I was sitting on a bus with my three year old and my one year old (this was 8 years ago mind you) and I saw a very large woman get on and sit in the back. She was arguing with her little boy, who wanted to go to the beach, but the mother was saying she was too tired. When the boy burst out crying and said "but you…

I want to start 5 x 5 but... I'll admit I'm nervous. I don't really know what I'm doing or how to use anything and I'm worried about injuring myself. I'm even worried about looking dumb. I feel like I should just walk in and start! But I just can't...

Room for one more? I've got about 15 left to lose. It's being a pain in the butt and my motivation wavers more since I'm pretty close to where I want to be. Currently 138, goal 125lbs.

Different hormonal birth control types affect each individual differently. For me, Alesse gave me the symptoms you describe. I switched to Nuvaring, which contains a different type of synthetic progesterone. Cleared it up for me no problem. It does however sometimes take several months for your body to adjust, but if you…

Yeah, I think I'll do some upright rows and curls (lol brocurls) ... I can certainly do weight work I suppose. I have some stuff at home for that. I'll think about swimming, I'd have to find some place relatively cheap where the water isn't too deep. I don't love deep water just cuz my swimming skill is so *kitten*. That's…

A good thought, but I'm not a great swimmer, and don't currently have ready access to a pool.

I tried paleo for a few months, once you get past the first week of carb withdraw symptoms (tired/cranky/headache/foggy head) I actually felt extremely well, energized, slept a lot better. Ultimately though, I found it unsustainable... Just TOO much time in the kitchen for me. I know a lot of people love it, though! I did…

I... I put this in the wrong thread. I thought this was the super long face thread! I'm sorry. :(

My ten year old wrapped her arms around me for a hug and said, "You're so thin now! There's less to hug!"

Now (142) vs 2006 (220-ish)

I live in Kingston! Didn't manage to get tickets though.

I just came back from a two week vacation, one of which was camping in the sticks and I didn't have a cell signal, so I certainly wasn't logging. I did try to eat moderately small portion sizes but I certainly wasn't going to forgo s'mores, beer, other fun camp foods. The second week was restaurant week and I ate some…

Started at 219 years ago, lost 70, kept it mostly off but this past year it's crept back up a bit (20lbs, divorce, you know how it is..) got back into tracking and have lost those 20lbs in the past 100 days. Currently sitting @147, goal weight is 135. I may re-evaluate when I hit 135, as I now suspect it may take me…

That sounds like a rough ride, and I'm sorry you went through it. I still talk to my high school sweetheart, he's married now, with kids. Sorry to say it but I think you should call it quits, and move on. If he wanted to be with you he'd be with you and not have a girlfriend. He may still like you, and still love you as a…

I lose weight from everywhere BUT my stomach and upper arms. Which of course drives me crazy because I want it gone from there the most!

Oh I know what you mean... Those dang Rice Krispie squares. It's impossible to have just one. I don't buy them any more! If I open one, I open 6..

I do this sometimes. Lost quite a lot so far with not much slow down, so I'm thinking it's ok. I often make up for missed calories on my PMS week though, ha ha....

I know I get cravings to chew on stuff occasionally. I have a cup of mint tea. No crunching but it keeps my mouth occupied, tastes nice and doesn't have any calories.

I went out to eat tonight with the kids. Saved calories all day for it, logged my items in advance. Had the most amazing salad with nuts and chicken, half the dressing (asked for it on the side.) even had a beer. Skipped dessert, too full. Didn't go over my calorie goal. :) Happy. Had fun.

I'd like my boobs to stick out farther than my stomach. :D

I grilled up some hot dogs for the kids and really wanted to eat them but instead made an egg white omelette (turkey, light cheddar, spinach, salsa) and a garden salad and I feel kind of good about it.

I use something called "Bio Oil" for my strech marks. It smells nice, is a little oily but seems to be helping to make the feel of my skin more smooth, and has faded them. As for saggy skin... well if you lose weight really quickly you are more prone to loose skin. Also it depends on genetics, some people have skin that…

LOVE love love Almond Milk. Use it in all the things I used to use milk in, like cereal, oatmeal, smoothies. I find it gives me WAY more energy than cow's milk! I do buy unsweetened regular, but sometimes mix it up with chocolate (Chocolate raspberry vegan smoothies are awesome!)

I'd like a copy :)
