Mama...I'm going to try that recipe w/some changes again this weekend. I'll try to take some pics too. Also, I had lost about 104 last year, but gained about 80 back since my wife's been home...yep, I know, tsk. I wish I could bottle how I feel when I start out and take a shot of that every time I think about deviating.…

@Meghan509 My daughter likes the coloring books. Good luck on the scale tomorrow. I read about what you've done lately and forgot that you were dealing with hip/back issues...which makes what you've done even more amazing. WTG Hey, I saw the option to edit the group title the other day when I changed the banner...so I was…

Well, that didn't last, lol...just had a big breakfast.

@Meghan509 Thank you. You are really doing great...exercise, keto, and fasting...oh my. @KateNkognito hehe, leftovers. My faux pas was hibachi...I stayed away from the rice but had noodles plus some tempura chicken and veggies. Knitting :# ... a few people in our extended family knit, not really my thing...I was thinking…

Congrats again Meghan and thanks for the well wishes. The carbs did a little number on the stomach, but, ahem, that passed. Still fasting...going to try and make it till tomorrow lunch-ish; 2 pm will be 60 hours on a little over 700 calories. Here in New Orleans we beat the all time high temp for all Octobers, this on the…

Hey people... Nothing eaten today...shooting to extend it till dinner tomorrow night. Had keto brownies and keto avocado mint chip ice cream this weekend; good stuff. Went out last night and over on the carb count...I feel it today. Enjoy your last day of September. Hurry up holidays...

Friday! 'nuff said. @Meghan509 and @KateNkognito congrats on getting it done this week. @mamainthekitchen I salute you on that. Not many people still take the time to sit and read. I should start again...been a while. No fasts this week unfortunately. On the buns, I looked at that link you (mama) sent and another website…

@KateNkognito Send me your address...I'll just move in w/you. I need someone who appreciates my skill-set. I have no problem sharing a room w/Juan. @mamainthekitchen Could be...I've used hot water before but not boiling. I think it is to penetrate the psyllium husk. I just received some inulin (0.2 net carbs per teaspoon).…

I haven't come up with any bread/pasta/pizza crust recipes that I am 100% satisfied with. My old palate's still fighting for survival. I'm going to get there eventually...somehow...what else am I going to do with this small fortune of low-carb flours and powders?! I made a yeast bread yesterday that tastes close to…

@Meghan509 Dangit! ...why don't they just sell size 13? ;) I'll bet you get there by Halloween...you're definitely excelling at this. I have back and knee pains...the back is worse, but I'm hoping once I shed 30% (goal of 50%) of my body weight, that'll change. Yep, I've got a long road ahead. One step closer each day.…

Hello Everyone, First let me say, I get creeped out every time @KateNkognito mentions lurking when I'm actually lurking... <shivers> Yes, I'm a lurker, sorry...many times I really don't feel I have anything to add, but I'll try to post more (for real this time); I should at least do more than just clicking the icons at the…

Happy August everyone...hope you all are doing well. The monthly threads seem to be doing the trick. We're posting about 2 messages a day; the last 2 weekly threads we were doing about 1.4 a day. @Meghan509 Another "keto couple"...whoot whoot. Well my wife and I aren't official yet. Kids off to school within a few weeks,…

Hey everyone...good morning. Thank you all for your concern...we did fine. We live next to the river which, believe it or not, is actually higher than the rest of the city. This is due to pre-levee alluvial deposits over thousands of years. Anyway, a few tornado warnings, but the storm went further west than expected. I…

Nothing much to report here. It looks like Kate and Mama had good results last week...congrats! Hope you've got that hip managed Meghan...ouch. Everyone enjoy the holiday (if you're in the states.) Rus

Hey everyone... Looks like everything's going ok for everyone this week...thank y'all for the nice comments last week. @KateNkognito the keto flu can popup in less than 30 hours or so if you've had almost 0 carbs. Hope it works out today, let us know how it went. Did a semi fast; about 1200 cals in 48 hours, the first 27…

Morning @Meghan509 (and others), I'm sorry to hear about your friend...way too young. Popping in to say...hey! Sorry I've been out of touch...I've missed all of your trials and tribulations over the past few months. Having the family home has amped things up...good and bad. Still trying to gel, even after a year back. My…

Women! ...we'd be lost without you. <3

Hey all, @ash012 , @ashleyantonation Welcome! Nice to see new fasters joining in; hope everyone is doing well. I was able to do 2 and a half-ish fasts last week. On one right now also that'll finish around 7 pm...sounds like steaks for dinner! @mamainthekitchen going keto w/fasting...in my case this combo supercharged my…

Hello all, popping in to say hey....hhheeey <waving> @KateNkognito ha...that's funny.

I'm here...sometimes. I'll try to be more consistent. Hope this week is better than last for some of you...but not as good as next week. ;)

Your welcome mama...so sorry to hear about your arm. Ouch! good luck and hang in there. Yes, nice picture. ;) @Meghan509 Thanks for the spring pic. Handle the thread however you like; for the most part you are our new leader <salute>...monthly will definitely make things easier. If we get busy again, you can always go…

Poor group... :'(

It seems I have this weird knack for clearing out the room...I think I need to start showering before I post. <rim shot> Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Hi Meghan...congrats on the big loss last week. Still haven't locked back into fasting. My wife is considering it now that her co-workers have started. ...but I've been talking to her about it for years...hmmm, ain't that always the way. Have a good one.

Hey everyone <waving>...I'm still hanging around. Hope all is well... I wanted to post this story from usatoday. Intermittent fasting appears to be on the upswing again. Check back in later...have a good one, Rus

Happy Holidays everyone... ...been on the naughty list as far as fasting goes, but a new year's a'coming. Hope to be back at it with you all soon. Cheers, Rus

@mamainthekitchen Baked mac and cheese is a favorite, made with some cayenne, blue cheese and a little creole mustard for added bite. Also, someone always makes some sort of gumbo for every holiday (chicken and andouille this year.) Oh, and stuffed mirlitons (excuse me google spellcheck, but it really is a thing!) Great…

Happy Thanksgiving everyone...just popping in to say hello. Enjoy!

Just checking in...good weekend for family, not necessarily for eating right ;) Going to try to pull off at least one fast this week. Good luck with the weight training @Meghan509

<chirp> Well enough I suppose...thank you Meghan. Hope you've been well also. Been being bad as far as diet goes...spending time with the family back from Italy (gone 5 years.) So we've been eating out a lot and even ordering dessert from time to time :o . We have a few family get togethers/trips coming up in the next few…
