Keto Diet
Has anyone tried this diet? It reads like the Atkins with berries thrown in. My sister wants to try it on the advice of a friend who always finds these miracle diets. I just find eliminating carbs trying and irksome and am not enthused about it. What has been your experiences if any?

Whole30
Have any of you good people tried Whole30? I have the books from the library as my sister is keen to try it so we are going to do it together. It seems like you give up everything except meat, fruit and veggies and after 30 days dairy, sugar, grains, legumes, etc are reintroduced. Apparently you will find reduced cravings,…

Bowflex Max5
My brother in law, at my sister's request, bought her a BowflexMax5 for Christmas. it came last week and he put it together Sat. Since I live three blocks from them, I can go over and use it. Today was Day 1. She plugged in the 14 minute Fat Burner workout for me. I did 7 minutes. Dear Lord, this workout is harder than it…

The Lasies will Get This, The Men Maybe Not
I have to go to a bridal shower on Sunday, and not wanting to blow money on clothes before I lose more weight I have borrowed a dress. Now, my pooch sticks out a little.

I am too young for replacement surgery and, anyway, I am nowhere near the kind of pain that would even allow me to think about it. My problem is that I will be…

Salt
I know I should have been doing this all along because I know one really needs to keep track of sodium but I have been content to just include the sodium that is tallied in whatever food items I log into my diary, but NOT the salt I shake on or add while cooking. So I had a real eye opener this morning when I did just…

A Failure and a Discovery
So, I decided to try JM 6 Week 6 Pack. I struggled with some of the moves and decided to stop before I hurt myself. I can't do burpees or walking planks just now. With the stench of failure wafting through the air, I suddenly remembered I had been dvr-ing Classical Stretch" The Esmonde Method. I picked one, 'Waist…

Just wondered what you all think/know since you all seem so reasonable
While perusing the forums today there was a challenge posted to burn 1000 calories a day for a week. This set off some fireworks including the proposition that exercise is absolutely not necessary to lose weight. I understand that if you eat less you will rather automatically lose weight to some degree. Then if you further…

frustrated with recipe builder
Trying to put in a recipe with no exotic ingredients. It makes matches but some are not of the actual ingredient and some have amounts I did not put in. I had one success using this tool and now downright hate it. I can't see how to edit it before I save it. Any advice?
