Hey everyone...sorry for the absence. Sixty or so posts I've missed. I hope all of you are faring well. We now have 6 people in the house (I was on the road for 16 hours yesterday, but our son is finally home from college...so 3 people here doing online courses now)...we will never be able to stock enough food :'(…

Hello everyone...glad to see all of you. Still trying to deal with the chaos in our lives at the moment and unfortunately we haven't spent any brain power correcting our WOE. :| ...but, there's always tomorrow...I know I should be saying "no time like the present" :D sigh, so many proverbs, so little time. Sending out good…

Congrats to everyone...Meghan, A_Dabauer sounds like y'all are getting it done right. Sorry for the short fly-by...the chaos factor just jumped up in our lives. I'm sure I'll be ready to talk about it more, lol...in due time. For now I'm just trying to keep my eating window down and usually with 1 meal a day. I've done 3…

@KateNkognito congrats on the 1 interview, the other not so much ;) Hope that puzzle got you through your last fast. I find too that occupying my mind with somethings helps. @mamainthekitchen congrats on the longer fast. How's your husband doing on it? I always like to hear from the guys too. This group has only had a few…

@flossyruby1 I'm definitely interested. I always look at new info and experiences then use what I can to improve my own way of eating. @A_Dabauer Interesting stuff...the way our bodies change and burn calories w/different types of food/sleep/fasting/time of day/month/year fascinates me. While a kcal is the "energy it takes…

Just stopping in real quick...I know I missed a lot. And welcome to all the new and new-old users...great to see everyone. This place is starting to rock again. Been taking care of some things and putting fasting off; I finally told my wife yesterday that after last night's meal I was starting a fast. I don't know how long…

For those of you coming in and seeing the group under a different name (Life in the Fast Lane)... We are still about 5:2, but have expanded to include other types of fasting...to try to draw more people who are doing something different or who want to try their own hybrid. All the old information is still here. A few of us…

Hey @debbie389 Glad to see you back! ...hope the New Year treats you right. I'll be back at it with everyone soon...my wife says we can't do anything yet with all the stuff leftover in the fridge. Thank you! ...may I please have another slice of cream cheese king cake? Starting the year off in similar fashion...using my…

Meghan is the champ of the winter season! o:) Nice job sticking to keto...I think you've locked into this being a way of life. I know we always say it, but you found the mindset to make it happen. Congrats! Mama and Kate, I'm with you. If I have to eat anymore mac and cheese and ham, bleh. Salt and cheese and carbs and…

Nice article in USA Today on both types of intermittent fasting... Goodbye, stressful diets? Intermittent fasting offers health benefits, study says. But it's not for everybody/

Back atch'all...Merry Christmas. Been a festive season thus far...hope all of yours have been as well. See ya soon.

oh yeah...Camaro...nice.

What? Are you not entertained? ...I thought I was getting paid for this. Quick stop in...everyone getting a little R&R I see. Mama and Meghan getting started early...nice discipline. Kate, I'm with you...lots of family things from here to 2020. Just got back from shopping; doing oyster dressing and double size mac&cheese…

@KateNkognito Man...I saw the post about graduating and then saw the cheesy bread and everything else vanished from my brain! ...congratulations on that, huge accomplishment. Pressure's off now hopefully ...now for some rest and relaxation...hopefully. @mamainthekitchen OK, I'm a dummy... mama in the KITCHEN...say it out…

Hmmm cheesy garlic bread, yum!

Good morning and happy fun day fun day Monday :s @Meghan509 wow, another big drop...and in the middle of the holidays. You're gonna own 2020. We (wife and I) hope to be there with you. Let's try something...tell us a little about yourself...holiday food style... What's your dish? ...meaning, what's the dish that everyone…

Thanks for the comments on the banner everyone...I like it too. ;) Oh boy Meghan...you had to go ahead and list off all the dishes :| . Yum. Nice job getting out clean. Enjoy your Christmas vacation <positive vibes sent>. Hey Kate, I guess that payoff (student appreciation) is what keeps you coming back. Congrats. Mama,…

lol...sounds like a plan @KateNkognito Enjoy the winter break.

Ahh the trappings of the holiday season...would we have it any other way? Every ounce of temperance you can muster now will save you on the back end :| says the man who currently exhibits no such virtue ;) Have a good weekend everyone!

It all sounds tasty @mamainthekitchen ! This will be interesting to watch...how we'll all do with the keto and fasting.

Hello everyone... Meghan, hmmm ribs. Our Rouse's does $9.99 rotisserie racks of ribs on Fridays...they'll do them without sauce too if you ask. Just got through the last of the leftovers yesterday. My wife is on a low-iodine diet at the moment...4 more days. She froze all of the things she couldn't eat on Thanksgiving and…

I made it...whew. Yeah, just as I figured...ain't no woman gonna post on Black Friday! B) enjoy. Mamma, Christmas...always makes me think of my mom...she "owned" that holiday. Meghan, congrats...again...on the loss. Kate, enjoy the birthday feast. Lot's of great football this weekend, talk with y'all on Monday.

Enjoy the holiday everyone! I'm going in, pray for me...see you on the other side.

Congratulations @KateNkognito , well deserved! Yep, glad to have my kids home for the break. @mamainthekitchen Wow, both your parents off to Barbados and for 3 weeks...has to be nice knowing you got the longevity gene from both sides. @Meghan509 That was a quick recovery...1.2lbs and 3lbs...noice! This weekend: ribeye…

Any ideas for the banner? something wintery...thanksgivingy(?)...christmasy? If you have any pics that fit the season, let's see them. LOL @Meghan509 yep, temptation, food is a double edged sword. Sometimes I wish I could just get a feeding IV and be done w/it...completely avoiding the orifice in my face that contains…

Hey everyone...I missed a lot. Congrats Meghan on the pants challenge! I like Steely Dan as well. I like the fall too Kate (and chocolate ;) ). Finally dropped below freezing last night and the electricity goes out for 7 hours. Geez, hate to see what's going to happen if we ever get snow again. Mama...I'm with you. Lots…

Happy thanksgiving Mamma! Here's an updated one, changed the font on "fast" and added some outlines...

Thanks, the background is actually the tree of life, but the text blocks most of it. I think I need to give "fast" more emphasis. Maybe emphasis on both "life" and "fast", and fade the other text a little.

Hello everyone, hope your weekend is going well. I was able to sneak another fast in...36-ish hours. I've been playing around a little with some logo ideas...really rough, but would appreciate input. I've done a lot of this stuff over the years and sometimes my ideas can feel a little been there done that.

Hello... Woohoo on the pants Meghan. Nice fast Mamma. Good luck on yours tomorrow Kate. I wrapped up a 53 hour fast around 2 pm. Not sure I have another in me this week. Going to try a New York style pizza dough using vital wheat gluten tomorrow along w/some turtles (chocolate cream cheese frosting on almond flour…
