34 spots out of 50 are full. We have room for more!

I do but right now am broke so no gym time. Huge difference in energy level when lifting. You get cardio when lifting if You are doing certain exercises like kick baa You can also do the ropes if your gym has them. I hate doing them but I do it anyway. Then there is the kick bag and hulk smashing a weighted ball into the…

I lost 40 lbs in four months on keto. I went off diet from November until the end of December because I didn't want the stress of trying to stay on diet over the holidays. As it turned out, I didn't get back on diet until this week. My in-laws live with us. The first week of January, my father-in-law died at home, on…

I lost 49 lbs on keto and hit a long plateau. I tracked my eating more closely and found I was not hitting my macros correctly. In my case, I was overdoing it on the fat. An over abundance of calories from fat stalled my weight loss. The other thing I now do is reevaluate my macros with every 10 lbs of weight loss. Add…

Try again. We boot the children who intrude on our group periodically.

Now, hey there. If I want to do something special, just for me, because I choose to use it as a motivator, that's cool. If that doesn't work for you, that's cool too. Calling it a pat on the head, that's not fair. Honestly, it felt kinda patronizing and I'm sure you didn't mean it that way. We all do what we think will…

My plateau broke after a two-month break from keto. I didn't even try over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. The day after I started back on diet, my FIL fell and fractured his pelvis in two places. He had Parkinson's Disease and the fall was more than his body could handle. He came home on Hospice care and I…

I love this Keto chat on Kik. Thanks for posting it!

I've been entering recipes and meals into MFP for future use and verifying the carb/fat/protein ratios. By having the menus already set it all becomes a no-brainer.

I like to call it Keto Super powers.

I've lost 40 lbs in four months on a nutritional ketogenic diet. This is high fat, moderate protein, and low carb. I didn't bother with calorie counting until I stalled for two months. This particular diet kind of does WHOOSH and stall. If the stall is longer than a couple of months, begin calorie counting and make sure…

Update: I found that while my joint pain has definitely lessened it's still there. Went to the doctor aaaaand, plantar fascitis in my left foot, arthritis in the left knee, and Achilles tendinitis in the right ankle. The good thing is keto is anti-inflammatory which is nice, so I've got that going for me.

Fat loss starts and ends in the kitchen. Period. Your body must burn more than you eat. You didn't mention your current TDEE, so I'd say that is the very first thing you need to look at. I am glad you started to lift - most girls don't. It was a good choice and you shouldn't stop. Your efforts in the gym will help shape…

I'm lucky enough to live in the middle of an Amish community. Every fall, when they are butchering, a five-gallon bucket filled with three-inch lengths of bone arrives. Some of the bones go into the freezer. Others go into my 32-quart stock pot and begin simmering. Because I do big batches, it is normally a 48-hour simmer.…

I do fish tacos and am also fond of brown rice with fish and peas.

Right now I'm just trying to get so I can eat again then back on track. Kept oatmeal down this morning!! Was completely uninterested in food again until evening. Ate a beer soaked potato tonight for dinner. LOL, not really. I made some stuff in the crock pot and poured a can of Guinness in with everything else. It's good…

Throw meat in the pan and the red pepper flakes. Cook it A LOT.…

I can share recipes with you. I'm still personally confused by the clean eating movement. To me it is just how you eat, that's the way we were brought up. Honestly I get a little disgusted with how complicated some of the recipes get. It seems like magazines are having a contest as to who can put the most inconvenient…

I would like to join that group

It scares me too. I probably will work my way up to it after I've lost 25 lbs and just see how I do. The good news for me is I picked up KettleWorX DVDs for $15. It appears to be a complete 11 disc set including the 5 lb kettle ball. Heh, Amazon has it listed for $87 used. $360 new. I suppose I should use it since I got…

I'm here too. Aunt Flo was visiting me and must have moved over to Melifornia. It's been crazy busy for me too. As in leave the house by 8 am and travel hither and yon until 7 or 8 pm. I have hardly cooked in the past two weeks. The house looks like a bomb hit it and the laundry room is starting to smell like a boys locker…

Glad you are back. Sounds like you had a fabulous time!

I think I'm gaining extra. Yesterday I got in the car at 5:30 am. I had a 2 hour break where I husked and shucked sweet corn, and then an hour where I was out in a field picking more sweet corn. Didn't really quit driving until 8 pm. Ran an unbelievable amount of errands. I ate really badly and at the end of the day pizza…

I trying not to let it get to me. I'm hoping all the exercise I got today working on clearing 3 years of clutter out of our garage will really show when I start weighing myself again next week. We got it half cleaned out. Hitting the next half tomorrow. So tired.....

@Listeningupon - I've been to San Antonio. Fun place! Lived in Midland, TX for awhile when I was a kid. Rained mud... @llysenw - Been to Los Angeles too. Nice place to visit. My father lived in Tehachapi forever. Now he's in Bakersfield.

Lets use some logic. You are what you eat, right? So, since pigs are grain and grain comes from plants you ate vegetarian last night. I usually work bacon into one of my meals because I love it SO MUCH. If you like the stuff just take into account the fat and salt when planning your meals. Keeps you from freaking out and…

@Listeningupon - I love Virginia. My mother lived in Roanoke and is now in Richmond
