I am wish I would have picked an alternate source to track my weight (one with a much cooler looking graph lol.)

Most people will tell you that when you're doing a low carb diet, you shouldn't pay that much attention to calories because they'll naturally be low when consuming the proper macros (e.g. high fat, moderate protein, and low carb.) If you feel like you're starving, then I would up my intake if I were you :) Also, as you…

Hello :drinker:

Honestly I'd talk to your doctor about it, and perhaps even ask for some blood tests. On a personal level though, I always used to get nauseated when taking vitamins before eating on an empty stomach. As far as I know you can take prenatal vitamins whether you're preggo or not; I hear they're great for hair and nail health…

Great job!

Yes, a lot of people confuse keto (dietary induced) with Ketoacidosis which is a complication that diabetics need to watch out for.

Thanks :)

Bump! I can't wait to see the replies. I'm in the same boat - I want to get back to the gym and start lifting, but it's all very intimidating lol.

@Justbecause - Fun person to hang out with.

Fantastic loss. Your success is motivation for me, because I'm 5'6 175 lbs on the nose and want to get down to 125. That said, thanks for sharing, congrats on your loss; you look great (I can't wait to get there myself ! )

I started around 218 on MFP (but my highest known weight was 230 something... I stopped weighing for awhile because I was so depressed about it, so who knows how big I got.) I'm 5'6 if that helps, and am down to 175 ( I started mfp late last Dec.) I don't work out, but most likely should. I used to go to the gym and use…

My husband is a size 32 - 30 waist depending on the brand, and he's extra tall so he needs 34 in length.....Shopping for him is no picnic so I totally understand what you're saying lol. As for myself: I used to like to shop at a place called Cato, but most of their stuff now is either way too big or way too small...I can…

Sweet list! I was saddened to see ragoo and V8 on that list ( I don't personally eat them, but my son and husband do.) Oh well, time to switch brands!

Nice post, and not being sarcastic here, but I could totally see it as a short child's book. You should look into that (there are self publishing sites out there like Lulu. I'd give it a go if I were you. :drinker:

Very interesting, thank you for the share!

I'm 5'6 (not much shorter) 175 lbs on the nose I wear a size 12-14 depending on the brand of jeans. I wear a medium to large top (depending on the brand and style due to my large bust.) I took this pic today, so I can use it to give you a visual on my height / weight / size proportions

These two seemed to go hand in hand lol.

The cat was being a cat, the parents should have taught the kid not to hit the cat, and if the kid couldn't understand that hitting animals isn't something you should be doing, then perhaps the kid should not be near the cat. I'd have a hard time being mad at a cat for responding as it did to a hostile action against it.

As a rule of thumb I eat no root or starchy veg. I eat mostly leafy greens and no fruits except an occasional avocado (too much sugar in the rest imo, but I do know some who eat certain berries and what not.) Some of my favorite veggies to nom on are : Asparagus Broccoli kale Spinach Green Beans Brussel Sprouts I also like…

Metabolism kicks up a bit during cycle so naturally I crave more food (especially iron rich foods like dark chocolate.)

Once I got into ketosis after awhile my appetite became almost non existent. Bookyeti has a point though - make sure you're getting enough fat.

Usually don't gain any weight before and during my period, but after I get a "woosh" effect and lose about 3-4 pounds. Edited for clarification.

I try for no more than 15 net carbs a day. I come to that number by subtracting fiber from the over all carb count.

Both low fat and low carb is kind of hard to swing imo, with that said most everything you'll find that a lot of low carb stuff is going to be high in fat, or not filling at all because it's a veggie lol...which isn't a bad thing, because fat is both delicious and filling lol. Have you tried pork skins for a snack (no…

You beat me to it ! :laugh: I completely agree. I would suggest trying Ghirardelli's Midnight Reverie (85%) They sell it at most Walmart stores...OMG that choclate has amazing flavors.

You can see a huge difference! You're doing great!

I'm not a very jealous person. I don't have much want, or any desire to keep up with the "Jones" per say, and my husband keeps me pretty satisfied. I just get a bit territorial when other women throw themselves over my husband in front of me, but I think that's understandable. For example, my husband was getting a hair…

I could never date someone who is considerably less intelligent than I am. Looks always fade, and I'd rather have someone that can keep up with me in conversation. That said, personality and looks do matter, but needless to say intelligence is a very desirable trait (along with confidence.)

Video games helped me foster a fascination for all things shiny; Yes, I brake for shiny objects.

Well, in all honestly I did not bother reading that wall of text; call me old fashioned, but I'm a stickler for formatting. Also, please forgive my ignorance, but I'm not exactly sure what a "killong" is. All joking aside though, I'm sure there is a valuable point made in that garbled mess you posted. For example, whilst…
