I’m in. I remember enjoying this ongoing challenge from my participation a few years ago. Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going. My goal is to lose an extra LB of fat over Christmas. SW RND 245: 12/18 12/19 12/20 12/21 12/22 12/23 12/24 12/25 12/26 12/27

I’m following clean keto so my carbs are very low and protein is 46g. I needed to finish today with more fat calories so I whipped 3oz heavy cream with 1/2 tsp of unsweetened cocoa powder and a bit of sea salt. It was divine.

Here’s some articles. https://www.issaonline.com/blog/post/eat-to-gain-musclethe-role-food-plays-in-strength-training https://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/a19540064/how-to-build-muscle-5-diet-changes-you-need-to-make-gains/ https://www.strengthlog.com/eating-for-muscle-growth/#Calorie_Calculator

As mentioned earlier, what type of eating plan are you following? It also depends upon how your body processes macros. Post menopause I had to change my diet from higher carb, moderate protein, and lower fat because I was packing on pounds. I was Always Hungry/never satisfied which was very frustrating. The most satisfying…

Both prior comments are very helpful. I’ll add that I would treat midnight as my mid day meal which is also my largest meal. “Breakfast” is my lightest meal so it would be eaten on my first break. “Dinner” is also a light meal which I’d have on my last break. This is how I currently eat on my work days. I’ve been having…

Home made chicken soup. I’ve used a whole stewing hen or bone in thighs. I prefer vegetables and no noodles. Packs a good amount of protein and calories. So does bone broth which can be enjoyed between meals. This article has good data regarding heme and non-heme iron and how the body absorbs it.…

I’ve experienced this problem a few years ago. I’ve found if I closed the app, wait several minutes, then log back on they would reappear. I did lose the one I was working on.

Good morning from the rainy Central Coast of California. Lovely to see everyone here. I took a much needed break from Everything, except work. I've been doing well with losing my extras and getting some workouts in. Christmas wasn't overly crazy, so I didn't have a big jump, only 2 pounds. Last challenge weight was 135.0…

Each of us is different. I'm not a fan of Keto for my body. I felt deprived and eventually resentful. Friends of mine have a had varying degrees of success, from amazing to just okay. I think it depends upon how strictly you are following the eating plan and quality of calories. I disagree with the adage, "a calorie is a…

@quiltingjaine How long have you and Fluffy been friends? Her little digs are more like she's a frenemy. They also seem to be escalating with her attempts to shame you in front of others. You are your own authority and deserve to be recognized for your accomplishments by your peers. It's definitely time to have a heart to…

A former boyfriend told me he likes his women BIG. He would take me out to dinner (restaurant food blows me up; just look at my spoiler) 3 -4 times a week, ask me to bake or cook unhealthy meals, or would cook a heart attack meal for us. Like a good girlfriend I went along with it until I couldn't fit into my scrubs…

@quiltingjaine Not a rant at all. Very valid questions and observation about your choices producing results and your friend's, well... not so much. We can speculate until the cows come home, but the only way to resolve the issue is to have a sit down with her to discuss why she feels compelled to point out Keto choices.…

Lol.…
