16:8 seems pretty natural for me, 18:6 is not much problem either. I get to the point that I want to eat, but not have to. We've had some busy days where I didn't have any good options so I just waited. Have not tried longer, just had one 20 1/2 day due to circumstances. Wasn't a big problem though, but I was very ready…

Thank you. 1500 seems to be just about perfect for me on this. If I have days I'm just not as hungry, I won't stress about it.

And my husband is joining me in LC! He's not doing LCHF IF, but that's ok.

Today went well, I think. I had my first meal at 3:00, had a coffee with butter and cream mid afternoon, and finished dinner at 8:30. I'll see how I feel in the morning, but planning on doing 18:6 tomorrow with an iced latte in the morning. I looked at my history and the past four days, I've been between 1400 and 1500…

So would you say 1/3 calories for lunch and the other 2/3 for dinner and a snack? For me, that would be about 570 for lunch, 850 for dinner, and 280 for a snack.

That's where I had PF, right in the arch. Orthotics, stretching, and rolling on a frozen water bottle did it for me. Haven't had pain for a long time.

Bump for later.

Sounds good. I'll have to try it.

43 Perfect 444 Seconds Score 84.31 Average Error 27 miles. I learned them in school, but knew locations of most from mapping dealers at work. Taught my daughter states and capitals when she was 5. We were quizzing one day and I asked her the capital of Maine, my almost 2 year old son piped up with "Augusta!" lol Didn't…

I grew up around guns and shot with my family. I hunted with my brothers when I was young. We'd been taught to respect guns and were allowed to go hunting by ourselves. I enjoyed tromping around the timber with my big brothers. I had my first bb gun when I was 6, but did not own another gun until recently. I haven't hunted…

Have you had your thydroid tested recently? Sounds like you have many of the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Talk to your doctor.

There are some good ideas there. I may have to get some sand.

Check YouTube for some suitcase workouts. Weights don't have to be expensive, just heavy. ;) There are also some good workout videos. Check out 5x5 lifting videos. I really just started lifting so not the one to give you specifics, but good luck. It's addicting. :)

Mine has been sold twice. Both times took a month or two to get notice from new lender. Did not get late fee or penalty either time. As someone else already said, run a credit check. www.creditkarma.com and www.creditsesame.com are both great free sites to keep track of credit numbers and accounts.…

I'd log it and adjust amounts/number of snacks from there. He's burning a lot of calories through his activities and he's a growing boy. Teenage boys eat a lot of food. Might need to increase his breakfast and lunch portions and throw in more snacks. Just make them healthy choices and keep an eye on how his body reacts.

Think about what she does like. Any hobbies? A gift cerficate to her favorite store for supplies or books. Does she like practical items? Comfy or pretty pjs? Movie gift basket and a cozy blanket for a night in? Dinner out with you and her son? I'm one of those hard to buy for (according to my family) but my favorite gifts…

Thanks, ladies. These exercises are for those with severe limitations due to obesity or other issues. Some people are not able to use bikes or ellipticals due to being too heavy for the machine or not having enough muscle strength to balance. I should have been more explicit in my original description. The pages I posted…

You could have a "Cocktail Hour" with open bar for a period of time and then cash bar after that. I've been to weddings with all variations and have never been offended to pay for drinks. I would think your friends and family would under stand limited budget.

Get a 5 Day Cooler (or a 7 Day) and plenty of ice. Keep your cooler in the shade. You should be good. Eat more "delicate" produce first. Freeze water bottles, they thaw slower than bagged ice and you can drink them when they thaw.

Bob, Thank you for the tip. I've been searching some, but having trouble finding specifics. Just that Americans eat too much protein. Just found this place too. www.vrg.org I'll do some more research tonight. Carl, Thanks, I'll look into something like that. Sgt Mindy Thanks for the support. :) I have hypothyroidism so…

Thank you both for your responses. So, I'm very low by those calculations. MFP has me at about 60, that calculation has me at 92. I'm getting about 30. :( So I'll try focusing more on adding protein. Could you tell me what a typical day for you would be? I've been eating beans quite a bit and adding raw, unsalted nuts to…

As others have said, not many foods added get all the nutrition input. Here is a list of Top 10 Sources of Potassium: http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/food-sources-of-potassium.php

Are you in a position to offer your help? Could you spend some time with her and the children? Offer to help clean the house without judging? Often depression can cause the conditions you describe: being without friends, house in that state. The woman can be overwhelmed and not coping. Having a supportive friend can be a…

Happiness is important. Maybe more important than money right now. Keeps your eyes open for a "better" job, but in the mean time look for ways to save money. I do a lot of couponing, not to the level of Extreme Couponers, but along those lines. Shop at thrift stores and garage sales for household items and clothing. I've…

Hop on the bus, Gus.
