Lowcarb+CC, need some suggestions regarding food please?
Hi again everyone. I'm back on the keto wagon, but this time around I'm actually counting carbs -- and calories. It's only been 3 days that I've been counting everything, so I haven't quite gotten the hang of it yet, especially since it's been years since I counted calories. The problem I'm having lately is I'm hitting my…

Plus size fashion for SHORTIES?
Guys I need some HELP! I'm tired of looking frumpy. My birthday is coming up and I want a make over. I'm boxing up a bunch of our old clothes and giving them away so this is the perfect opportunity to start picking out some new stuff. I don't want to make the same mistake I always make, though--getting things that just…

Anyone with a hypothyroid problem here?
Hi everyone. I recently fell off the wagon for 2 months and now I'm back. I recently was prescribed Prozac again so I'm feeling better, but not still 100%. Mentally and emotionally I feel better, but physically I'm still exhausted 24/7. I explained to my doctor that even back when I was a teenager, I've been requiring much…

I've been awake 35 hours now.
I can't sleep. I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I can't turn my mind off. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm so depressed. I can't think straight. I can't function. I'm so exhausted. I have an appointment to see my doctor on the 16th, and hopefully he will put me on some medication that can help me. I can't force myself…

Other LC "side dishes" for lap band boyfriend?
Hi everyone. My boyfriend has a lap band, and while the fluid was taken out several months ago, he still has trouble with broccoli, cauliflower, and sadly, most greens. He does eat them when I make them, but I know he's getting tired of constantly having gas. I don't like sending him to work with so little food though and…

How do you deal with stress?
I've done really really good with keeping to keto, drinking more water, and just generally keeping up with things. The last 2 days have been tough, and last night I gave in to temptation and stopped at the gas station on the way home to get 2 candy bars. I know there's no excuses, and people make mistakes and I need to…

Dehydration, but urine is pale?
I haven't been drinking enough water. I know I haven't. I drink water at work mostly. Sometimes I'll have a 7oz coke zero, but I always make sure to follow it up by only water or tea for the rest of the night. I picked up some Ketostix at the CVS yesterday, and I'm moderate-mild on key provided. I've heard it can be a sign…

Aching, freezing back. Can anyone relate?
For some reason, when I get cold, my upper back and/or neck will turn ICE COLD and actually ache. My fiance got into bed the other night and put an arm around my shoulder. His arm brushed against my neck and he recoiled, wondering what the heck was wrong with me and why was I so cold? I was even under an electric blanket.…

Any fellow graveyard workers here?
When I worked afternoon shift it was so much easier to avoid temptation, mainly because I was too busy to eat. I work as a Resident Assistant at an Assisted Living Community. I typically work with Alzheimers/Dementia patients in the Memory Care Unit. When I worked afternoons, like I said, I had no time to eat. But there's…

My keto pancakes suck! Any idea why?
They just crumble, and are soggy, and...ew. I've tried 2 versions, one with cream cheese, one without. I've tried butter and coconut oil. Tried blotting it into the pan, and pouring it in. Tried a higher heat, a lower heat. What the hizzle is up with these things? They're horrible. Are there any secrets I'm just not aware…

Regular sugar still lying around? Make a body scrub!
I have a lot of regular white sugar left over from before we went low sugar, and tbh, I'm kinda glad. I love to make body scrubs out of it for the winter! I don't have any specific recipes--you can find them all over--but what I like to do is pour some sugar into a container, and then add about 1tsp of lemon juice, then…

Okay, okay. I guess it's time I start counting things. HALP!
I've counted calories before, but counting carbs and fat macros is foreign to me and I'm a little freaked out, especially since I can't seem to figure out how to set my MFP to where it needs to be. These are my results. I'm at 183.3 today, 4'9'', 26 years old and ATM don't exercise I used this website which gave me 1,346…

Anyone here also doing Keto?
I could really use some support. Maybe a WL buddy, someone I can check in with once in a while. I work night shift so it's really hard for me to curb the cravings. Right now I'm craving a Totinos party pizza. I was able to avoid the temptation last night, but I was off of work and went to bed early. I have work tonight and…
