I am on week 2 of keto though I have done it before, I veered off course and am now my heaviest in 10 yrs. I need to get healthy and am going to do it, one day and one meal at a time. Add me if you want!

I can relate, I do great all during the day but nights are bad for me. Here's a couple suggestions, ask your friends ahead of time what they are doing for food, and if its something not healthy, then say you will hang out after dinner so you can make your own food. If they don't know what they are doing, eat something…

I completely agree with you! I also quit smoking, its been a week now, congrats on quitting! I do want to lose weight but I have just started my journey to better health and have to realize it will take time for the weight to come off. I need to focus on getting healthier....immediate goal is recovering from bronchitis,…

I have a regular oven, no room for a toaster oven.

short term goal: logging everything I eat every day for a month. short term goal: start doing yoga and walking every week. Long term goal: to fit into some of the clothes I can't currently wear.

check out My Whole Food Life...she is vegan and has some great stuff. Feel free to add me as well. I am trying to eat more veggies and limit meat to dinner only. I love recipes and creating new stuff in the kitchen. Here are some more awesome bloggers: The Gracious Pantry, The Paleo Mom, Against All Grain, One Green…

Hey everyone!! We are all in the same boat here, so glad to have all of you! I did lots of meal planning and meal prep today so yippee!!! I prepped all the things I wanted to, made all the meals I had planned, and even worked in making some healthy treats for the week....if I can keep them hidden from my husband, otherwise…

Thanks for the feed back. I read they can be hard to clean. I was thinking about using parchment on the bottom to make for easier clean up. I have a metal one now that I've had for about 10 years. The flaps are falling off so I need a new one. I do steam foods daily, on weekends sometimes more than once. I like the tiered…

I'm here for you all as well. We have to support each other. How was today for all of you? My food choices were overall good, I'm under my calories, haven't check my macros but not worrying about them so much. I just want to commit to logging everything for a month. Then I'll work on the next step. I am recovering from…

Great job changing your perspective! That's truly what its all about. I did well today too. Not perfect but better and that is all that matters. Keep up the good work and great attitude!

Whats going on today ladies? How did you do? I didn't work out today, but did do pretty well with my eating. Share how your day went!

I understand where you are coming from. I would love to follow a paleo keto way of eating right now but we just can't afford it. So I am doing the best I can with what I can afford. Dried beans are cheaper than cans. Meat is expensive so buy on sale and plan your portions carefully. Supplement with offal like chicken…

For the last few years I've just had it steamed with some spices but lately I'm not loving that. I'll have to try some of these recipes, they sound delicious. I am one of the few who likes it raw too. I do love roasted veggies so a lot of these sound great!! Bookmarking this page!!

I slow cooked black beans today. Just plain old water and beans, I keep them in a jar in the fridge and just add them to whatever I am eating. Eggs, salads, veggies & meat, anything. I'll spice them up when I add it to my meals, thats why I leave them alone when I batch cook. My Whole Food Life is a vegan blogger and has…

Do you mean in general or inputting information on this site? Generally speaking, just get creative. I taught myself how to cook about 7 years ago and I'm still learning. :) I would look up some ingredients of things you like and find some recipes to inspire you. For example, google tomatoes, basil, sauce recipes and a ton…

My Whole Food Life has a ton of recipes that are great. She has an excellent 3bean & sweet potato chili that I LOVE! One Green Planet I just discovered tonight. Minimalist Baker was also recommended for me. I am not vegan but am trying to eat more plants and they are cheaper than meat so its a win win for me.

Me too, I feel ya! What are your plans for getting on track? I need to eliminate junk food like candy bars, pizza and fast food. Currently my plan is adding in vegetables and fruits daily. I want to keep meat for dinner only, partly due to cost as well as health. Today I did well. I'm recovering from bronchitis so I'm…

I'm in too please! I'm 34, got married in May and we have been enjoying way too much pizza and junk food. I went to the dr yesterday, was diagnosed with bronchitis and of course they weighed me. I'm 5'4" and now up to 187. The heaviest I've ever been. That is the wake up call I need. I need to start working out slowly…

Yes, my cycle shifted two weeks when I went very low carb. I think it happened in month 3. I caution everyone taking any birth control to really know what you are taking and the side effects. Every Tim I've tried bc, it's made me gain a lot of weight, uncontrollable cravings, hormones swings, depression. Just be aware of…

Any mix of veggies with some olive oil and spices, nuts, fruit, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, beef jerky.

Hey I'm back on mfp after being off for several months and gaining weight back. Add me I'll request you!

Im gonna shoot for 25 miles, still a newbie here. I did 2 yesterday!

I need some inspiration and support as well!

Id say you are doing pretty good. I eat a lot of the same things as well. I try to vary it as much as I can. One week i'll get just spinach for lunches, the next spinach and kale mix, the next spinach, kale and chard. I look for what's on sale as that changes each week. Try to get some berries in there too, they are chock…

I would try to do something in your coffee. If you can't do artificial sweeteners, do just a little bit of the lowest natural sugar you can find. I would suggest honey over agave, though I can't remember what I read that gave me that idea. Also, local honey. Just measure out what you are adding, know how many carbs that…

Good job on trying what you can to get more water in your body! I've heard and maybe someone has a reference for us here, that drinking the water helps flush the fat out of our bodies. I know I like cold water as well, so I alternate two bottle that are 33 oz each and there is always one cold for me.

DittoDan, that was a typo. I've lost 16lbs since July. I'm so jealous you have lost 40lbs! I'm working out but I don't keep my carbs under 20g a day. I keep them between 40-50g, getting carbs from mostly veggies, nuts as snacks, and coconut flour treats once in awhile. To answer your question about my objective with keto,…

It took me awhile to see the scale move and for the last month it has been yo-yoing on me so inches are a much better way of seeing improvement. hang in there.

I just started running and my best so far has been 2 miles total, but split up in increments of running and walking. The longest at one time is 3/4 of a mile. We all start somewhere!!!

Yup, love them. Usually almonds, macadamia, cashews, pecans, walnuts. Mostly almonds. I bag them in 1-2 oz portions, since my fiancée and I work together I'll know can have half a bag for a snack. I also make nut butter with almonds. I'll put 1-2 cups of almonds in my food processor with coconut oil and blend it for a…
