Screwed the pooch
I really screwed the pooch this past year. I went off keto last year, mainly to be honest here, because I wanted to lose forty pounds in two weeks. That's exaggerated, but true. So, I've gone on and off, usually for a few days. Here I am....twenty pounds HEAVIER than when I started. So the upshot...well the upshot is that…

*waves weakly*
Yep. I'm back. Again. With my tail between my fat legs. I've gained all of my weight back but seven pounds. :'( I restarted yesterday, with keto, because it's definitely the best thing I'd ever done food wise, I guess I just needed to learn the hard way (by getting fat again) to realize it. Other than feeling weak and…

Pal Expansion
Good morning! My name is Lori, and I'd like a few good friends, who are on the same path. I started out last June at 217 pounds, I'm 5'10" with a keto diet. I'm not bashing it, it worked while I worked it and I lost thirty pounds. I did notice a correlation between manic episodes and carb intake, so I decided to switch…

Sodium
I've been around...got some miles on me. Regarding sodium...but. Why is it that I seem to need an exorbitant amount? I take Country Life Target Mins Mag/Calcium/Zinc which gives me 500 mg of mag in like, five forms. I stopped logging sodium, mistakenly thinking I had this. Sigh...to stave off headache and nausea I need…

Greetings!
Here I am, again, defiant in the face of cake (and other processed carb filled foods). So, I started in June, dropped about thirty pounds, got complacent, got bored aaaaaaand started slipping. Once a month, then once a week, ending with going in and out of ketosis, which threw my attitude for a loop, therefore making it…

Flax Meal
So far I've made two muffins (carrot cake-esque) and a loaf of bread. While the calories are high, I feel like it will help on those days when I'm missing out on sandwiches.... Does anyone have any experiences to share, good or bad? I'm still amazed that I can have any type of bread or muffin...I'm making crackers next.

Raw Potato Starch
Does anyone have any experience with using this as a thickener? I've done some research and from what I can find, it's not digested as a carb and feeds the gut bacteria. I have some from when I was eating primal, and want to make stew with my bone broth. Any thoughts, please?

Oops!! I did it again....
I am perimenopausal. I am having a spitting mad, raging, blistering, then emotionally heart rending, despair filled PMS. It's getting worse and worse. Add to that not smoking. I ate a donut. Before I knew it I had my head in a bag of Mickey D's. Baaad binge ya'll. Bad one. If you say I should have gone for a walk I will…

Puff Puff Pass....
Has anyone quit smoking while keto and minimized weight gain, or even continued losing? Any advice or helpful tips, please? I need all the support and motivation I can get, please. Thanks so much, Lori

SuperDorkLori
So, little about me: I'm awkward. Not in a cute way. I am a loner, but enjoy socializing here. I'm witty, but at times it takes me a moment to configure an apt response, by which time everyone else has moved on... I'm a tad insecure, in the back of my mind I'm feeling like 'get to the point, Lori, nobody gives a *kitten*…

Um...guys?
I quit smoking yesterday. After refreshing my knowledge, I'm now thinking it may be smart to wait until I'm closer to goal, as I'm already dealing with major mental issues. I can't delete this post, I don't know how.

Second Verse...or is it Fiftieth? Either way...
Hello, Lori here. I've been doing this off and on for about four years...im looking to lose about forty pounds, and would like to offer support and be on the receiving end of that as well. :)
