2 Cups of all-purpose flour in the recipe is definitely NOT gluten free. Have you tried this recipe with any gluten free flours? How did it work out and what flour or mix did you use?

Welcome to the newbies! The Challenge threads are a bonus for new members as there's a lot of daily check-ins and chit chat too.

You might need to get a pair of cycling shoes, not the fancy clip in type necessarily, but bicycle touring shoes that have a stiffer sole than trainers. Or maybe your positioning on the bike and pedals isn't optimal...https://tri-today.com/2021/03/how-to-avoid-numb-feet-and-toes-when-cycling/. Also watch your body…

Bumpity bump!

Hi HaleCry! Baconslave pointed you toward the best idea. If you join up on the August challenge, it can help keep you on track and most peole check in there daily or at least every couple days and there will be lots of chit-chat to get involved with. Cheers! You can do it!

Bumpity-bump for newbies OR as a reminder.... :)

Hi all, just a note that there is also a 'LowCarber Ladies over 50' group here associated with the LC Daily Forum general group. Here's the link: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/112128-low-carber-daily-ladies-over-50

Hi Michele, I have Celiac Disease, Fibromyalgia, and Low Thyroid issues that are tied to the FM. Here's a helpful MFP thread I started to gather valid scientific studies on Celiac disease and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. Here's the link:…

Not worth using the app at all. I use only a desktop computer where I can find almost everything I need at a glance. Then again, I am now mainly here for the community pages as I have been at or very close to goal for the past 9 years. No more tracking food/macros/exercise. One thing I miss is finding others' blogs that I…

Just as another point of view....although I totally agree with trusting your 'spidey senses,' the couple with the dog may have thought you chose a nice place to enjoy your coffee and wanted to see what you saw in the spot. Also, I remember my parents telling me that staying in a secluded area alone isn't the safest choice,…

Hi and welcome, CrankyGoat! I started my LC journey in November of 2013 when I was 49. Lost the 35 lbs by mid-Feb 2014 to reach goal just before I turned 50. Holding pretty steady since then although up from goal a few lbs. I do Intermittent Fasting either 16:8 or 18:6 depending on the day's schedule. You might want to…

Good work, girlie! You have come a long way from the first time we 'met' in the Fibro chat threads! I'm so glad this WOE has helped your health that much! Still hangin' in there myself, not being as careful with the carbs as I could be, but feeling pretty good despite. Hubby wrecked my good weigh scale by getting the…

My favorite belt for my work jeans is back to hole number 5 instead of 4, or even 3 previously. And still getting to eat a bit of rice with my stirfry, and chili with beans once in a while.

Well, kinda.... if you go back to eating the Standard North American Diet (high fat & high sugar/carbs) you will gain back the weight. Kinda like smoking.... high health risks while you smoke decrease when you quit, but if you go back to smoking.... That doesn't mean you can't have an ice cream sometimes... but beware of…

Every once in a while I get a craving for a good homemade tangy coleslaw - not sweet.

Well, if you still check things out here, @sufferlandrian - I'm wishing you all the best in work/family/life balance. Enjoy the outdoors and take a deep breath! I am no longer night shifting and have three jobs to choose from this coming week. Wish me luck picking the right one for MY work/life balance. Aloha as I sign off…

Well, here I am again, 1.5 weeks later and down 1 lb to 147. I had been lower earlier but I was just super hungry the past couple days and ended up eating yummy tortilla chips and guac with hunks of cheese late at night (my nemesis!) That coupled with a few interesting alcoholic drinks (NOT low carb :( ) has jumped me up a…

@melmerrit33 If the cow dairy makes you mucous-ey (hah, is that even a word) maybe try switching to sheep (Romano) or goats milk cheese. I never drink actual milk because of that reason, but do eat yogourt and cheeses and they don't seem to bother me as much. We have similar autoimmune issues so it might work for you too.…

Bump!

@k8richer Here's an interesting abstract from Google Scholar: Here's the full research article via reasearchgate.net Reasearchgate publication #283666413 from 2011 Also an interesting paper from 2021 in the Journal of International Dental & Medical Research on the effects of these vitamins on bone health during the…

HAHAHAHA! Just like a guy....nothing like a fart joke! :D

BTW, Mag Bisglyconate, Vit. D3 and K2 will keep your bones healthy. I've never taken calcium and at my latest test last year (57 years old) I have the bone density of a 21 y.o. The combo helps keep your calcium levels balanced and being deposited in bone and teeth instead of building plaque on your artery walls too.

I've taken Mag Bisglyconate for many years (helps my fibromyalgia sleep and pain issues immensely) and definitely sailed thru menopause with hot flashes only lasting about 30 seconds in the morning when I woke up, and no night sweats at all. Maybe I'm just lucky with menopause, but since no one in my family has been thru…

Present weight: 150 lbs (Jan 30) Goal: 132-135ish The Plan: Drink more water this month - 2 litres/day NO late night snackies (keto or not) Continue with my 16:8 or 18:6 intermittent fasting

Tomorrow is my big day! I got a call while at my security job for an actual in person interview and it happens at noon tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous about it. I have 6 straight days of work (grocery store - mask reminder and passing fresh ones out to customers coming in) after that so I will be really tired this week and…

Hi @elize7 good to see you again, keep on dropping in. I figure even if there isn't much to say, I just post a 'hello, I'm still here' sort of message and others will wave/comment back.

Ahh, @sufferlandrian I'm sorry to hear you are going thru a really rough patch right now. These stressors can pile up until they get to a tipping point, that's for sure. I haven't seen any lovely outdoor pictures lately, maybe you need to escape a bit via that route? Or maybe the option of talking with a health…

I did up a Spanish style sauce for my spaghetti squash strands the other night (hubby had his on mixed wild and longgrain rice.) Sorry no pix, lol, it went down too fast. Hamburger crumbled and well browned, red onion, orange pepper chunks, green olives, low carb portobello mushroom pasta sauce, 'fresh' cilantro from a…

@oocdc2 - but ghost towns have the best history....not like new forums, lol. Sometimes I read back on old MFP threads I commented on in times past, for a look at how far we have come. But maybe that's easier for me since I'm on a desktop when I access MFP.

Weight as of Jan 13: 152.8 Weight today Jan 21: 149 (down 3.8 - happy dance!) GW 132-135 Getting there.... I'm just saying no, and refocusing, when my reptile brain says "how 'bout a lil snack" at 11pm. A month unemployed, but I went thru the first assessment for a Canada Post job (GREAT pay, benefits, good hours) so I'm…
