Thanks, Dragonwolf! Who knew you could make your own sports drinks? I'm adding this to the list of stuff I have to make now. I'm kicking myself for buying mayo. I got in as much of my breakfast as I could. Lunch went better but not by much. If you haven't tried the Starkist Creations Sweet and Spicy tuna pack, DON'T!. It…

Congratulations on a job well done! How long did it take you to lose so much? Advice?

My trainer is always on us to drink half our body weight in water. I tend to drink more water on the days I work out. Like you, I don't like drinking water either. If coffee IVs existed, I'd have one. For me, it's easier to try and drink one cup an hour. I try to drink at least a cup or two before I leave home and that…

I don't know about putting salt in my water but I'm willing to try anything. I spent the weekend sick in bed. I didn't eat much of anything and I didn't log what little I did eat. I'm out of ketosis but I still lost weight. I think maybe because I was sick but I'm not going to knock the progress. I'm trying to get back on…

I don't drink Powerade or any type of chemically laced beverages. My beverages these days are water, coffee, more water, 6 more cups of coffee, and as soon as I'm done with these meds I'm having a freaking margarita. I'm going to have to find another way to get my electrolytes.

Thanks again. You guys really are great. The CavemanKeto site has some good info. I'm definitely going to do the net carbs while I learn. Volfan, I'm already feeling like crap. I skipped going to my trainer because I didn't want to take a chance with making other people sick. I wish I had that option with work. I just keep…

Okay, I just added Fiber to my diary so I can calculate the net carbs. Now I want to make sure I understand this whole net carbs thing. So far I've had 6g carbs but g1 of that came from fiber so my net is 5. Does that mean that I can continue to eat carbs until my net carbs for the day are equal to my daily carb goal? If…

Thank both of you. Looking at other people's diaries will help. I looked at the chili recipe and I want to make that tonight! I need a bigger crock pot so I can make double batches. DittoDan, unless we can find hard core farmers who really understand, I don't think we'll find proper organic eggs. I think there is someone…

Thanks for the links to the recipes. I ended up going to bed and not having anything. I also didn't have any water yesterday, it was all about coffee. I feel a bit better today but I think that's because the cold has settled in. I sound like Barry White! I am allergic to real eggs unless I find a farmer who does not feed…

DittoDan, I totally agree. CKD is going to have to be the end game. There is so much to learn just about keto. What do you guys do when you get sick? I feel like I'm coming down with a cold and I would really love some chili (I don't eat soup) but that's going to totally wreck my numbers. They're already wrecked because I…

Thanks everyone. Radiii is correct about the CKD. I'm lifting weights with my trainer and eventually I want to be a lifter. So far my carbs have been under 50g but using the numbers from the keto calculator RockLobster4 suggested and the 1800 calories, I'm supposed to have 23g carbs. That feels impossible. I changed my…

Great story and amazing pictures! You should send one to your ex simply signed, "How do you like me now?"

I came here to read the suggestions about the nonGMO meal replacements and came across your comment and felt compelled to respond. For some people, eating in itself is a challenge. I was diagnosed as a disordered eater. I do not like eating food and the thought of ingesting 1800-2000 calories EVERY day (I used to ask,…

You are an inspiration! Congratulations!

I lost 50 lbs in 6 weeks using the 6WBMO. The plan works great! I didn't find it to be too restrictive. There are lots of recipes that you can find on their site. I got lazy about cooking which is why I fell off the wagon however, his method is sound. I continued with the mini meals but I didn't exercise. I gained a bit of…

I am using Herbalife to help motivate me but it's only to get me started. I fell off the wagon after I ruptured a disc and then I had surgery. I just started using it though. I'm used to eating meals and this is the first shake program I've used in a while (SlimFast made me sick). I don't think I'll gain the weight after I…

Try starting with SparkPeople.com to ease yourself into exercising. Coach Nicole is great and they have work outs from 10 minutes up to an hour. If you're looking for DVDs, ANYTHING by Chalene Johnson is fabulous and fun. I also like Leslie Sansome for walking and I also have a George Foreman workout which really is great!…
