Congratulations! Lovely couple!

You look beautiful at your previous weight, but even more stunning now! Congratulations for a job well done. I'm 63 and did it, so I'm living proof that it CAN be done 😄

My heart goes out to you as I read about this tragic occurrence. I know about the toxicity, and that the darker the chocolate, the worse it is. The same can be said of Xylitol. I keep mine well out of reach, but accidents can and do happen, so thank you for the reminder. It must be very painful for you, so please know that…

What a great post, and very happy to see someone else advocates daily weighing. This is a must for me, as I have been down the path of laxity in weighing and logging, with resultant weight gain (all gone now since starting keto in Oct 2016). I keep journals now, and first thing EVERY morning (after emptying my bladder) is…

One of my vegetable bins is reserved for cheese and butter only. There's currently 11 types of cheese in there, including cream cheese and mascarpone. Hardly a day passes that I don't eat cheese.

Love the contrast between Maisy and the snow. Beautiful pup! They're ALL beautiful, and this thread is AWESOME!

Walking Buddies: Bronwyn & Mommy Weekly Goal: At least 5 miles (aiming for 1mile/day not inc. short potty walks) How long/far did you walk this week? 3.6 miles Successes: Challenges: Rainy week, mud everywhere and she was just groomed. We've started on a good note today...more rain in forecast for tonight so we'll see what…

" Korl, close your EYE!" Remember when Rick and Michonne first got together in Alexandria, and Carl realized they were sleeping together, then Chris Hardwick spoofed it on "Talking Dead"?

Thank you! She's my shadow, and a spoiled brat with a capital "B", but she's my baby!

Love, Love, LOVE 9 1/2 Weeks! Much better than 50 Shades, books or movies. They dropped the ball when casting Jamie Dornan...should've been Ian Somerhalder HANDS DOWN!! Who in hell would drool over Dornan?

This is my 2yr old Cocker Spaniel, Bronwyn. We walk a mile 4-5 times/week plus regular walks. Walking buddies: Bronwyn and Mommy Weekly Goal: at least 5 miles How long/far did you walk this week?: Successes: Challenges:

@KnitOrMiss...No problem at all. I needed to be scared enough to switch things around. I'm just glad I found out before I suffered any really ill effects. Who knew? Thanks for the well wishes, and I'll make sure they get it together :)

@KnitOrMiss ...watched the presentation by Dr. Berg today...SCARY STUFF! I've been taking this calcium/D3 so long, but I will not be continuing it. He's also against the bisphosphonates (I take Fosamax) and I will be stopping that too as I never felt comfortable with it, it has not altered the progression of my…

@KnitOrMiss-thank you very much for your input. I am on many supplements due to having Roux-en-y gastric bypass 17yrs ago. Add to that Graves disease and 2 rounds of thyroid cancer (last was 2013) followed by hypothyroidism. I will be on thyroid hormone for the rest of my life! Then there's the osteoporosis meds which you…

@KnitOrMiss...so are you saying I should take my calcium (Citracal with D3) @ night alone, and then my D3 with K2 in the morning (have to get some K2)? That said, do I need to change to Citracal WITHOUT D3? I've had osteoporosis since 2007, with an L4-5 compression fracture, and have been taking Citracal with D3 plus extra…

@RalfLott, thank you for the short vid. It correlates with what I've read in his book, and elsewhere. I just wish he'd focus on those who are hypertensive in the vid, and how to safely increase, but then there would be many variables there. But he did say moderate, so I think keeping track of my pressures and all of my…

Just watched the first video and well understood. That sweet spot is definitely in order for me. For now, I'll keep my sodium at 4000mg, and continue to monitor my BP twice daily while watching for body cues. Fascinating.

Thanks for the info, and congrats. I love keto, and the benefits thus far have been tremendous. Just hoping the labs are supportive also. I'll read the study mentioned later this afternoon. Hopefully, I'll find my "sweet spot" and stay there.

I have a mixed bag of feelings when it comes to sodium. I've been on the same BP pill which is a combination of 2 drugs, one being a diuretic, for several years due to "mild hypertension". My diastolic BP was consistently above 80, but below 100 when I started taking this med. Since starting keto in Oct, my BP is…

@ValleyHooper...Wonderful!! Shilah is beautiful, and I wish you both the best! Always get a warm 'n fuzzy when I hear someone has adopted a shelter dog and it's a match!

@MeeseeksAndDestroy Thanks a bunch!!

This is my baby, Bronwyn, on Halloween. Spoiled brat, but holds the key to my heart!!! (Sorry for the messy bed =)

I made this on V-Day and it was my first time as I'd never heard of crack slaw. It was AWESOME! Perfect Chinese food substitute with all of the flavor. I found zero carb rice vinegar and used that as in the original recipe. I used crushed red pepper flakes because I love hot n spicy food, fresh ginger and garlic, and used…

I had exploratory abdominal surgery in 1999, and was allowed nothing by mouth for 5 full days afterward, being supported only by IV hydration. On the night of day 5, I was allowed ice chips. Believe it or not, they were so sweet! Sips of water following the ice, and that was also sweet. My husband tasted it and thought I…

That's exactly what I had for dinner, though i wanted quick and easy so used jarred sauce (which was not bad) and had it along with riced cauliflower. It was yummy :)

Amazing...just AMAZING!! The tux pic is SMOKIN'! And let's not forget the fish (I'm an angler too). Congratulations on this magnificent achievement, and continued great health to you :)

That's the answer I was seeking, IF the Miralax contained fiber, which I now know it does not. But this was just simmering for awhile in the back of my mind, so I decided to put it out there. Thanks :)
