Oh no, in my sleepiness I forgot to mention that if I wasn't pregnant, I'd want to lose about 30lbs. I'm sorry! I'm very aware that the gain is from more blood circulating - though I feel I have plenty of fat stores already lmao. Shoot. I hate when I forget that I posted something and get caught up at work. Sorry for any…

I was in a lot of pain from what the ER doctor thought was about week three to about week five before I miscarried. I couldn't keep anything down besides a little bit of toast and some protein shake later in the day. I'm being "more aggressive" as in, cut out caffeine almost entirely, tripled my water intake, way more…

Vega-one protein shake mix. I cannot. It's just too gag-inducing for me and I'm not even sure why. I tried it with almond milk, soy milk and even regular 1% cow's milk. Nothing could salvage the flavor. I'm so glad that Natural Grocers has individual packages that I could try before I commit to a huge container. I'm weird…

There's a repeating trend and I'll echo it - too few calories. However I'd also recommend getting a blood panel from your doctor, something that will show you what's missing or low in your system. This was mentioned but I think it's worth stressing this part. Losing weight shouldn't come at the cost of your health. Be…

Have you looked at IIFYM before? I really liked their nutrition design - it's a good starting point for lean muscle. Here's the link to the calculator - you can put in your info and it will give you a really good (free) starting point. http://www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ More in depth information might need you to get…

I have a sawyer mini which I carry with me every day! :D Sadly.... we just don't hike in areas where creeks are running. We're doing survey work in an area that has a dried creek bed and we're trying to figure out what happened upstream to stop the seasonal creek from running. :lol: I have sturdy ankle boots from Cabela's…

Thank you everyone :blush: I'll go by order as of about 1:11 - As for the slope, that's about par for the course. We average 12-25%, which are *okay*. Now granted, I'm about 50lbs overweight. That makes this really tough. Some of the terrain we're covering in the next month might be higher than 35%.... I carry either a…

So, in case MFP doesn't have a group (I haven't looked), reddit has a very active page called r/keto, as well as a page called r/ketorecipes. I follow both & just lurk because the information is really good. As for your macros (your fat, protein & carbs), I'd check them against http://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/.…

I'm guilty of a veggie bagel & cream cheese.... but the cream cheese was LOADED with tons of jalepeno... win some, ya lose some.

Depends, have a bezoar and powdered bat? You can substitute powdered rat but it's the difference between red hallucinations and orange tie-dye ones....

I like making protein pancakes with protein powder + fresh fruit. Almost comes out tasting like a muffin at times, even if it looks weird (I tend to just use hemp protein powder because of the omegas in it). As bad as farting can be, beans are great. Quinoa, tofu (if you can make it in a way you enjoy). Hemp seeds to add…

I've had my lip pierced since September of 2012 and it's never been an issue. I have a tattoo on my chest that shows with tank tops/v-neck shirts, but it's never an issue. Most people don't really know what it is or think it's nifty, even though it's not finished yet. I will have to wear a clear stud when I begin working…

I've taken a Wilderness class, know how to hunt and I begin my EMT course after spring break. I'm quite a catch! :smile:

This. The app mentioned before is shoddy at best and if your phone's camera & flash aren't positioned properly, you'll get the wrong reading. I don't trust the machines taking my heartrate, so I keep a notepad open on my phone and take my pulse and log it every 10 minutes or so to establish an average.

Yoga was the first thing I wanted to try when I still had a gym membership. I went once, and felt so out of place & unwelcome that I left before class was done. Eight months later I took it at college, with this instructor who was so tiny I could have lifted her up with one arm. She made everything feel safe & possible, my…

Forestry. I'm also taking some certification courses to be an EMT/WFR with some wilderness training. OUTDOORS, WOO!! :D Debt... not so woo!

Well, you did eat, your body has to work through it. Maybe see where you're at in the morning?

Canyon Creek Crunch from Bear River Valley is my favorite. No HFCS, preservatives or hydrogenated oil. Just tasty goodness. As for oatmeal, I really dig Better Oat's blueberry muffin and chai spiced. Seriously on chai spiced, it doesn't get much better than that (unless you can give me an ACTUAL cup of chai... then we'll…

I know someone who knows someone who had to wear a diaper for a month because of how badly Alli messed with her body. That's the nitty gritty of it. Alli makes it EXTREMELY difficult to consume and process fats, so it runs right through you. When you block fats from being absorbed into the body, you can potentially starve…

Florence & the Machine - Dog Days Are Over Justin Timberlake (most of the 20/20 experience album; Don't Hold The Wall & Body Count) Metro Station - Shake It Dr. Dre - I Need a Doctor (Ft. Eminem & Skylar Grey) Pat Benetar - All Fired Up Aside from those, I really like the Zumba mixes because they're upbeat and encourage a…
