This morning was really hard, I fried two eggs in butter, and I really didn't want it, but I was hungry. I think I am going to eat the crepes for dinner, but bake them in my muffin top pan, and see how that goes.

Classic!

When I tried zero carb, I felt really sick, but I didn't actually throw up, I just felt like it. Looking back, I think it was my electrolytes and I think I severely underestimated the amount of water I needed to drink. I gained 6 pounds last week in my carb indulgence, so I am hoping this will bring me back down. I think I…

Curious to see how your egg fast is going? I have had a hard time getting back into the swing of things and decided to do a 5 day egg fast to get back. I am only on day 2, and it was much easier last go round, but I was already in Ketosis when I did it the first time

I made this for dinner Friday night and it was amazing! I have a pressure cooker, so it took less than an hour start to finish. Low Carb Chili. I will definitely make it again. Last night I made these. I really don't like pork chops, but these were amazing! Mustard Pork Chops & Cabbage Both were really easy recipes.

No, I don't feed LC, but I did make sure Chicken is the first ingredient, if that means anything. The dogs get Nurto Toy breed and my cat gets indoor science diet, which he is really not crazy about.

I donated mine, just because I wanted them gone, but I usually shop at Goodwill, so it wasn't a huge heartbreak. The down side is that I am up two (gasp) sizes fro my low last year, so I only have one pair of jeans that fit. It's a good motivator though.

Aww, I love all of the babies! Here are mine, Quita (chihuahua mix) and Pierre (Fox Terrier) Us at the dog park:

I only tally plain water, just because I don't drink enough. I drink a lot of hot tea and coffee, so I use the tally number to encourage me to drink just plain water.

I am stepping out of this challenge. I woke up in the middle of the night extremely nauseous and my head feeling really funny. This is the second time it has happened, although much more severe this time. My husband woke up and told me it was probably my blood sugar( I didn't check it, If felt so bad I was willing to go…

That is usually me too. If I am outside for a long period of time I am usually tan by the time others have started turning red. I am wondering if it has to do with dehydration? My muscles feel fatigued as well. Sort of feeling like I did a bunch of push ups 3 or 4 days ago... which I didn't.

May 1 Starting: 140.2# May 8: 144:.4 # As enthusiastically has I started this challenge, I am starting to get down. My goal was no veggie and no AS. Doing great on the no veggie thing, not so much on the AS. I have had gum a few times this week. And I broke down last night and had flavored 'sparkling' water. Ah... It was…

Chicken Breast Pizza Crust I got an idea from somewhere on the internet a couple of years ago to make pizza crust out of chicken, but I never did it. It didn't really appeal to me. Since I am doing the 'Meativore' May challenge I though I would try something with chicken. It was really easy! 12.5 oz chicken breast (I used…

Thanks for all of the suggestions! I started some brewing this morning, so hopefully tomorrow it will be good to go!

I made pizza last night... Chicken breast crust and added butter, cheese and pepperoni for the topping. It was awesome! I am having leftovers for lunch!

I had one this morning... 2 eggs, salt, Coconut oil and butter. It was really good. I think I need to make the coffee a little stronger next time.

Ready for day four! Yesterday I ended up eating 800 over my calories, not because I was hungry but because I kept feeling like I needed to eat something. When I looked at my pie chart at the end of the day it gave me 70% Fat and 30% protein. First time carbs where not mentioned! I have not added any AS to my water or…

I don't have any advise, and I have not had any testing done, but I do personally take supplements. And I am pretty sure that it is only to make me 'feel' better. (Not really feel better) I take (Split between morning and night): Magnesium - I do get cramps in the bottoms of my feet at night, and I don't get them when I…

It takes time for your body to accept your mental change. I did low carb for a year and lost 90 pounds. I gave in and drifted out of it and have almost lost the 15 pounds I regained in my lapse, and I am still 15 pounds from my goal. That being said, it can be really hard to stick to a low carb diet- and I was very…

Starting: 140.2# Goal: No plants, No artificial sweeteners I'm not going to really give myself a carb limit, I am hoping for under 5 total, since I eat a lot of eggs. I am pretty confident I can do the no plant thing, I have been moving that direction for the last month or so. My challenge is going to be the artificial…

4/1 --142.4# 4/8 -- 143.8# 4/15 -- 145.5# 4/23 -- 141.6# 5/1 -- 140.2 Total Loss -- 2.2# This month did end up being a very good one. It also helped me get over a several month 'stall' & I learned a few things. ~Don't over do it on the cheese. Some is okay - but the two weeks I gain three pounds I was over doing it. ~No…

I am always cold now... but I am also down 80 pound of fat to keeping me warm.

Ditto to the eggs.

That is probably true. I hadn't really considered that. I am not hungry after eating the two eggs but it doesn't last long. I have left over steak from tonight, I'll try that tomorrow and see how I feel. Thank you for the snack suggestions. That definately gives me some ideas. I can see where cooking things a head of time…

I have a quick question as well. Does anyone have snack ideas? I am not at the point where I can go long periods of time with out eating. I usually wake up about 4:30 and drink coffee until 10 or 10:30 then eat breakfast. I usually eat lunch around 1 and if I don't have a snack before I get home and start dinner around…

I tend to do this. He got home last night and asked what was for dinner. ... I had already ate my steak. (In my defense, he did tell me he was going to pick up something-- last night) I'm going to try it. I don't know how it will go. I will have a very very hard time giving up the splenda and jello.... and the water…

Welcome!

I don't have much advice, but here is a big *hug* & I will be thinking about you!

4/1 --142.4# 4/8 -- 143.8# 4/15 -- 145.5# 4/23 -- 141.6# Loss -- .8# So, I got a little freaked by the gain and started watching more of what I was eating. I am/have been tracking what I eat just because I don't want to stop -- and honestly it is such a part of my daily routine, I don't see myself ever stopping. Even…

I have never thought of that! I have a pickle jar full of bacon grease in the fridge. This I will have to try!
