Well, I did the challenge at least. Really disappointed on my rate of loss the last two months, but better than not losing at…

Just want to say thank you @KnitOrMiss. The l-theanine seems to have done the trick. I still wake up but fall back asleep easier for sure now. No more zombie at work! Nightly ritual is now my melatonin 5-htp pill, magnesium potassium pill, and l-theanine. Scale finally dropped again after 3 weeks of nothing. Only 3 lbs…

I love Lily's. It's made with stevia and erythritol and is absolutely delicious.

Have not tried that one in supplement form, but I do drink a lot of tea during the day. I might pick some up anyhow, because I literally am tired. :p

Sleep is a huge problem for me as well. I can fall asleep fine, usually around 10/11pm, but it never fails. I wake up at 3/4am every single night and am unable to go back to sleep. Sometimes I just get up, but then I'm exhausted by lunch and super cranky. I've done magnesium, melatonin, OTC things, benadryl........ sigh,…

LOL - hopefully we'll both see each other in a couple weeks for the championship. Is the TB12 method considered keto? (jking.....)

Been keto since September! I've lost 40 lbs so far and mean to lose about 50 more. I plan to transition to low carb after I hit goal.

I'm a bit of a lurker, but wanted to drop in and say hi! Made it through the holidays with only one cheat, which was a bowl of black eyed peas on New Year's Day. Wasn't much of a cheat as it only pushed my net carbs up to 24 for the day, but it was the first intentional carby thing I've ate since I restarted in September.…

I could use a challenge for sure. Find myself getting lazy lately. 1/1 - 204 1/7 - 1/14 - 1/21 - 1/28 - 1/31 - GW 195

Collards? Well, you put them in pot and boil them with a huge ham hock or ham bone, plus your choice of seasoning. Bacon is a good substitute if you don't have a leftover ham bone. Best recipe I could find! It's a staple this time of year in my family, although I prefer mustard greens. It's a southern American dish :)…

Joining as well! Starting weight - 204 January starting weight - 204 January goal - 199 Ultimate goal - 150 Jan 1st - 204 Jan 7th - Jan 14th - Jan 21st - Jan 28th - Total loss for January -

55 lbs I was really kinda surprised he didn't put me back on met in November since he was very gung ho about it before. I don't think it's running high from my nightly meal, usually by bed time it's in normal after meal levels and dropping. I'm definitely having dawn phenomenon issues though. Only a few more weeks till I…

Really? I did not know this. It's definitely close to SW. Thanks! Yeah, I'm not taking a flying leap off the train this time and am perfectly happy these days. I'm hoping things just continue to get better; that seems to be the case with most. You are definitely an inspiration! I was diagnosed just over two years ago.…

Pan seared chicken thighs with leftover broccoli casserole

Pork tenderloin and broccoli and cheese, perhaps a bit of a Lily's chocolate bar.

I've yo yo'd on weight most of my life and this time it just feels different I'm currently keto (working on month 3) and one day I may up carbs to just low carb again, but I am finally accepting that in order to keep my type 2 under control I can't eat carbs, at least not the way I did. Never again. I thought I had adapted…

It's not that hard. Most of the keto foods I eat are really high calorie for small amounts. Butter on veggies, cheese, and high fat meats to name a few. I don't always eat up to 1200 cals a day but never on purpose and usually I make up those calories on the weekend where I tend to eat more or shift into 18:6 IF. I started…

Feel free to add me, keto, but also OMAD (one meal a day). Diary is open to friends, although I tend to eat the same thing every week. :smile:

Not new to MFP, but I've been doing keto for 2 months now :) Feel free to add me!

Hi everyone, my name is Cas! I've been doing OMAD + keto for three weeks now. Just discovered this group! I'm loving how easy it is to fall into this eating pattern, although this week for some reason I've been ravenous all day. I think this is really something I could stick to for life regardless of that though (and…

You eat the calories you are allotted in that one hour. I do OMAD because I like to eat large meals instead of space everything out, so I eat all 1200 to 1400 calories then. It's not hard to do..... I mean prior to this I could easily eat 2000 calories of pizza in one sitting. I usually have a high fat meal such as a…

37...... going pretty dang good!

Oh wow, I did not know this. I have trouble staying asleep and have been taking a melatonin supplement every night before bed, but it's not very effective. I'll try adding the magnesium around the same time see if that does anything. Thanks!

I quit drinking diet soda because my husband and I would go through 6 12 pks a week and it was expensive. It was all I drank and it's not bad for you imo, but the amount I drank made me personally feel like crap I've come to realize. Since I quit, I'm less bloated, have no sugar cravings, and no longer have this weird back…

I make my own taco seasoning and we have taco salads a lot. Simple and easy. I also do a really basic stir fry, just meat and cole slaw mix with soy sauce (brown meat in olive oil, put aside, cook your veggies and then add meat back with as much soy sauce as you want.) It's not fancy by no means but the husband likes it.…

I count calories and do keto on the advice of my Dr. I am type II diabetic. I have MFP set to 1.5 lbs a weeks, but find I'm eating 1200 or less with little to no hunger or effort. In fact, this week I've moved into mostly only eating one meal a day because I just don't get hungry until dinner. I've only been on it 4 weeks,…
