5X5 Question
I really want to start this program when I get to state in the fall. But I'm female. Do I start at the same weights as on the strong lifts website, or should I start lower? If so, how low? I know some can't be lowered due to bar weight. It's not like I'm completely out of shape weights wise. But I don't "lift weights", I…

Negative calorie adjustment not showing on website?
I have negative calorie adjustments enabled, when I first did this they showed on the website and the app. Now only the app has them. Has anyone else had this issue? The whole calories remaining with the sliding green bar is also malfunctioning on the website.

IF advice needed
I'm thinking of starting IF since I've noticed I tend to eat either in one half of the day or the other. I've looked at the lean gains protocol, and I like the idea. Should I start with one day per week, then move to two and so on? Or do I need to jump into it whole hog the first week? What can I have during the fasting…

Couldn't find the recipe thread, but here have a bread recipe
http://www.food.com/recipe/best-low-carb-bread-bread-machine-102631 I assume you could do this by hand if you didn't have a bread machine, but it seems pretty labor intensive. I subbed almond flour for the soy(not fond of additional estrogen) as a one to one replacement. I found the flax seeds and vital wheat gluten in the…

But they were not as dense as I would have liked, what could I do to make them denser? Here's the recipe 1 cup almond flour 1/4 cup water 3 tbsps unsalted butter 2 eggs 1 tbsp sweetener 1/4 teaspoon…

I need some help for a friend!
I have a friend who's having twins, is 37, and wheelchair bound. She's just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She needs 3300 calories per day, 1000 mg or less of sodium(severe water retention issues), and 225g or less of carbs. Additionally, she's on a blood thinner so can't have dark green veggies. The only way I…

I'm new here, how do you guys log cals?
I'm one of those people with 20+ horses right out my backdoor. I spend way to much time at the barn. Stall cleaning is a workout, so is feeding. How do you guys log cals burned from all the s*it we shovel and hay we carry?

Light meals/foods?
It's blastingly hot here, I don't want meat or cheese or anything that needs much cooking(the 220 oven really heats up the house). Before keto I would have a couple cut up apples, or half a watermelon. What do you do when you want something cool and easy for a meal? I'm sweating sitting here in a tank top and shorts, all…

Jawbone up Move question
I've decided on the up move as my first fitness tracker, I want to use the wrist strap full time. There's a thin strap and a thick one. How wide are each of them? Amazon only lists the dimensions at the widest point, 0.6 inches, which is where the tracker sits. But the actual strap width isn't listed. Can someone measure a…

Rant about professors
I swear to god some professors just have no idea what they're talking about! Do they think students are incapable of doing research into their major requirements? I just had a math professor tell me I had to take calc 1 & 2 when I don't have to take either (I can and will be taking stats instead), then tell me that calc…

Cycling club? Or group rides?
There's a bike shop in my town, and it has a few rides (one at the beginner no-drop level) each week. I love riding, and I've been watching with envy as the groups go down my road. But I have no idea of the etiquette here! Do I just show up on a Saturday morning, introduce myself as new and go with them? Should I go into…

Suddenly small on top compared to bottom?
In my last 5 pounds I've regained my waist (*kitten* YEAH!) but I now look tiny on top compared to bottom half of my body. I've lost weight there as well, quite a deal off my hips and decently off my thighs and rear. I've got another 20ish pounds to go till goal, and was wondering if maybe some kind of weightlifting or…

Immersion blenders
Has anyone found a good cordless one? How are they to clean? I'm thinking of getting one almost exclusively for BPC, do you really just blend directly in your mug?

Need some help from artistic people!
So I'm probably 3/4 of the way through redesigning my bedroom and front room. They're connected and both are very much my space, I also have access to a covered(not screened in) porch via a door in the front room. I've got some space beneath a window in that front room(looks onto the porch), and I'm debating between a…

Does anyone else exercise for stress relief?
I'm going through some major life stress right now, and I've probably quadrupled my walking/jogging as it's the only thing that helps. Does anyone else do this in times of stress? Have you found anything that really reduces stress, like a certain pace or weightlifting? Or is it only cardio that works for you?

A bit of an odd hypothesis regarding keto flu
I was thinking about how so many people get keto flu, and how awful it can be for them. Then I started thinking about my own experience: no flu, nada, zip, zilch. I was very very ill 4 years ago, I threw up for over a year 30+ times per day. Because of this, I was in ketosis (due to starvation, essentially). Could it be…

Weight tracking app recommendations that don't require a specific scale?
I've seen some of you mention that you have apps that create a rolling average as well as a trendline. What would these apps be and which do you like? I'm not loving the graph available here because it strictly graphs entries only.

Hi...I need some mfp user reviews
I am considering getting a Jawbone UP Move with the intention of wearing it on my wrist full time, not just for sleep. Does anyone have experience using it this way? Which wrist strap is more comfy, thin or thick? Does the battery last as long as claimed (or close)? Is the syncing good? How's the app? Sorry for so many…

fitness tracker help
I'm highly considering getting a fitness tracker. I'm currently torn between the jaw bone up move and the fit bit flex. I like the price point on the move, but I figure fitbit is popular for a reason. Does anyone have any pros and cons of either? What's the real battery life on these things?

Anyone have experience with fair food?
So I'm a fair exhibitor, and this summer I'll be at my fair everyday for 3 weeks from the hours of 5am-11 pm and then an hour drive each way. I've eaten mainly from the stands at fair in past years out of necessity and convenience. What food at a fair might be safe? There's no nutrition info available, sadly. I'm asking…

Does LC make you intolerant of certain foods?
My mom baked a glorious chocolate cake. My boyfriend and I both had a bit, me a couple bites and him a full slice. It made me throw up for the 6 hours after I ate it, all the way to bile. My boyfriend reported that he was queasy at work and nearly threw up on his way home. I'm full keto, and he's what I refer to as low…

Sudden Energy?
I haven't been able to keep still the past 2 days, fidgeting in class, bouncing on the balls of my feet when talking to people. I just knocked out 60 squats (never done one before today....) and went on a 30 minute jog/run without getting winded or feeling tired. Over 10,000 steps today from pacing besides that too. I've…

Fat bomb recipe help?
I've googled fat bomb recipes several times, and they all seem to have lots of ingredients I don't keep around the house (zest of half a lemon, pistachios, pecans, extracts, etc). I think I saw a thread similar to this awhile back, but can't find it now. If I'm not imagining it and someone brighter than me can find it I'd…

When is a stall a stall?
So, I've been stalled or gained a bit of weight over the past week-10 days. I think I remember seeing somewhere that unless it lasts more than 3 weeks it's not really a stall/shouldn't be concerned? But I can't find anything about it online... Advice about this please! I'm getting kinda worried.
