I've been "lazy keto" off and on for about a year. My body likes keto and lazy keto, my brain and cravings feel differently lol. I don't do fat bombs at all. I think those are great for the more straight sized folks who are doing keto. In other communities, I've read "carbs are a limit, protein is a goal, and fat is what…

I do a "relaxed keto", because I value my sanity. For me, I'd go nuts and quit if I tried to keep my carbs under 20. My goal is to keep net carbs under 50, and I don't stress if it goes a bit over some days. Every body is different, and the magic number for your body to get/stay in ketosis isn't necessarily 5% or 20 grams…

Yes, I have a few different conditions that affect me differently. Most, thankfully, are intermittent. Sometimes I can shoot hoops, climb a rock wall (okay, only half climb but still), and hike. Sometimes I'm thrilled if I can walk to my car in the parking lot and back, slowly and with a cane. Do what you can, when you…

Today it was a potato, pork roast, and brussels sprouts with butter & sour cream. Tomorrow's planned is cooked cabbage and broccoli with butter and a few ham slices. If I'm still hungry I'll add a tomato.

I agree with volume eating. When I'm on prednisone, that's what helps me. Since my last round was about 6 weeks and I don't need to take it all the time, my goal is usually to just maintain rather than lose while taking it. Huge bowls of salad, sliced cucumber, celery with cream cheese, popcorn with limited butter and way…

Hugs! I'm rehabbing my shoulder also, though it was a relatively minor injury it surprises me how long it's taking to get back to normal range of motion and lack of pain. Feel free to add me as a friend, if you'd like. I'm getting back on track too.

Me too! Welcome back :smiley: Feel free to add me as a friend, support from each other is one of the great parts of this journey.

Me too!

Avoid midnight snack, or if needed keep under 100 calories :smile: 7. Drink 1 L water :neutral: (got in about half that or so) 8. Complete…

After having regained the weight I lost, I'm getting back on track as of a few days ago. This time I decided to start out with a JFT mindset, and then found this thread! July 7 (Sat): 1. Log everything (food/exercise) :smile: 2. Walk or hike :smile: (1.82 miles) 3. Avoid sugar :smile: 4. Drink homemade coffee rather than…

Hi, I'm waving at you from across the river :smile: My activity level is off and on, though I'm on again now. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want.

Resurrecting for this PSA: Your Taco Bell delivery service is coming, via Lyft: Uber's younger, cuter sister. Drivers are already planning to opt out of that impending catastrophe.

I mostly prep pieces of meals rather than entire recipes. Though now that needs to changes somewhat because of work. Typically I try to always have pork roast, beef roast, chicken, ground beef, and broccoli in the freezer cooked and portioned. So then I can grab a meat and if I don't have fresh veggies I can grab a…

I didn't read through all the replies, so am probably repeating good advice. Hiring a trainer for even a few sessions can help a lot. I suggest finding someone who became a trainer through college degree rather than through a fitness club's internal classes. Interview them first, and find out what experience they have…

When I first started eating it, I sort of hated it. But it was the only thing I could find that was easy and had a lot of protein for the morning. Started out adding fruit to it (bananas, strawberries, raspberries) and discovered I really liked tossing frozen berries into it. Also added some granola and chia seed or flax…

I tend to ebb and flow with feedback and sharing. It's a personality thing for me, and I've noticed I tend to be more active when there are people who are okay with that and keep trying to interact occasionally when I'm in my "ebb" stage. It was a friend like that who sent me a message after I'd been gone awhile…

I weigh some things, though it's at the point now where I can guesstimate pretty accurately for foods I commonly eat. Plus I don't have a need to be exact with some things - particularly veggies. I do like to be more exact with cheese because for some reason my mind refuses to accept that tiny bit of cheese is already a…

Neener, neener, neener!

Looks really good! One that a friend's mom made a couple months ago was a head of cabbage, cut up sausage, broccoli, and onion. I don't know the amounts because she cooks like me and just throws things in the pot with water :wink:

Bored and not thrilled about taking selfies lol

At 250, I was in size 22. Now at 232ish, I'm in 18 or 20, depending on the brand. I started out wearing a size 24 at 285lbs. So this is what everyone is talking about when they say it depends on body composition. Given how tight the 18 is right now and my pattern right now, I'm guessing I won't go down another size tll I…

Thanks. The nausea appears unrelated to the workouts, but I'll start with some electrolyte replacement something this week anyway.

Sounds like fun, go for it!

I think juicing is good if one is on a liquid diet or wants to ingest fruits or veggies that don't taste good whole. Juicing is how my sister is able to eat veggies that she doesn't like (which is most veggies, really). Otherwise I agree with you- lots of hype. I think I get a lot more out of eating whole foods, and I'm…

I bought my current car for $500 on Craigslist last summer. I've put another $500 into it since then for repairs, but since my mechanic said I could sell it easily for $2000, I'm happy :) Through the years I've sold & bought stuff on CL without any problems. I listen to my gut instincts, avoid scams, and so far haven't had…

Who am I to judge your journey? I may not understand where you're coming from, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't show you the same respect that I'd hope you'd show me. Everyone has their own path. It seems like instead of judging, trivializing, minimizing, or insulting a journey beyond our understanding it is better to…
