If you've started increasing your sugar or carb intake then your cravings will come back. Get back to the basics of keto and you should be fine

Beachbody on Demand is great. Huge variety of workouts and only $99 for the whole year

I just started this week. Today is my rest day, so I'll do some running today. I'm not sore like I thought I would be. Probably need to up my weights, but I was definitely burned out by the end of the three sets so I don't know that I can do much heavier... We'll see!

Butternut and Apple Mash Cubed butternut squash, a couple peeled and sliced apples, and about 1/2 cup of liquid (water, apple juice or cider). Simmer on the stove with some cinnamon and nutmeg (or pumpkin pie spice) till you can mash it all up. Makes a nice sweet side dish.

So your daily average for last week was 1120 net cals per day

I have the Danskin 2.5lb hoop and I love it! (My cousin has a 5 pounder and I did get bruises from it!) I don't do anything fancy, just hoop while watching TV or in a boring meeting at work. I was just looking the other day about hooping classes and found one about a mile from my house! I just may start up, I'd love to do…

Raw dipped in ranch. Or steamed (but not mushy!) with salt and a little butter spray. I don't like mashed cauliflower as a total sub for mashed potatoes, but I do like a 50/50 blend.

I agree with this - exercising 5 times a week is not sedentary

I find the Treadmill and Elliptical SO BORING! I can't motivate myself to do them like I can when I take a fun class. Maybe try a group class, like BodyPump. Something that is fun and you enjoy makes it so much easier to stick with.

Today was brown rice mixed with almond milk, banana, honey and cinnamon. Like oatmeal but better :) Followed with a hard boiled egg for morning snack.

Mine is at 5:45. It's so early, especially in the cold winter! But it's the only class that works for me, since there's no childcare at any of the later ones. So I have to go before the kiddos wake up! It's awful early though. Many nights I sleep in my workout clothes so I have no excuse to hit the snooze button! LOL

I just bought some Nike cross trainers that are very soft and comfy. Time will tell if they have enough support, though. Only worn them twice so far.

Salmon is my go-to when I'm out to eat. Have to watch the sauces, butter, etc but it's usually a relatively-safe bet.

I drink one a day with lunch. The rest of the day is water (other than my morning coffee) so I feel comfortable with one per day.

I am a Jazzercise convert! I still love Zumba, but the Jazzercise routines are easier to learn (not easier to do, just easier to learn since they all repeat themselves!) And I like the strength training at each class, and the Body Sculpt classes for extra strength. I need something that makes me want to get up at 5:30am…

I've been going for a month :) I got a 20-class Groupon and fell in love! I just signed up for a year committment! I hate getting up at 5:30am to exercise, so if I'm going to do it, it better be fun! :) Good luck!

me too! I loved that one! I still dance it in my head when it comes on the radio :)

Skinny vanilla latte, or a Cafe Misto and add my own splenda

I use a Flat-Out, top with sauce and cheese and veggies, and toast in the toaster oven. Mmmmm.....

Yoga pants (capri length, usually) and a semi-fitted t-shirt with a sports bra underneath. I like the pants and tees/tanks from Target. Inexpensive but comfy. I think the brand is Pro-Spirit, or something? I also have some from Tek-Gear from Kohls.

Can of diced tomatoes, can of chickpeas (drained), diced onion, peppers, celery. Saute them all together with some spices - I like rosemary, a bit of red pepper flakes and cinnamon. Serve over brown rice. The combo of tomatoes and chickpeas is delish.

You were a size 4/6 when you weighed 172?? I'm currenlty 170 and I'm having a tough time fitting into my size 12's! Even when I'm 160, I'm still a size 10/12

I'm 5'11" and my ideal goal is 160, although 165 is good and easy to maintain for me. I have to work harder to stay at 160. My smallest ever was 155 before my wedding. That lasted for about a week! :)

In addition to just tracking calories, look at what you're eating and try to get the minimum - 2-3 dairy servings 5-7 fruits or veggie 2 protein 1-2 whole grains Add some snacks in there, as long as they are healthy snacks that allow you to "check off" one of the items above.

This sounds great, and even the kids would eat it! I do "Wacky Wednesday" dinners and will make Breakfast for Dinner or "Ice Cream sundaes" with yogurt and fruit, or something like that. So they will get a kick out of Cupcakes for dinner! Thanks!

I make this all the time, and usually leave out the taco seasoning, cuts down on sodium and I really don't miss it. Try different variations of salsa! I made with peach salsa last night and it was great!

Candy. Especially this time of year - Jelly Beans. I will eat myself sick on some jelly beans...

Chobani Fat Free Vanilla is my favorite. Mix with some blueberries or strawberries - delish! I use the plain as a sub for sour cream, or in smoothies if I add some sweetener. I like the taste of Dannon, but they add too many ingredients to thicken it up (Gelatin) so to me, it's not "true" greek yogurt. If you shop at Aldi,…

You might need a little bit of water - 1/4 cup or so - if it seems too thick. But it's delicious! Spice cake is good w/pumpkin, too.
