Did I possibly skip the low carb flu?
I fell off the LC wagon back in the spring, and gained a good portion of my loss back. Sigh. But I have a goal - I'm taking my DH to Cuba in February for his 50th - and while I have no illusions that I'll be a size 6 bikini babe, I would like to be less heavy so I'm not sweating on the beach all day. First step - joined…

Low carb food fail!
Oh my goodness. I thought it would be great - not so much. DD was making nachos for herself last night, and I was wanting a snack, so instead of the nacho chips, I pulled out the bag of pork rinds and had her make me some with that. NOT great at all.

Beginner home gym routines?
We have a universal system in the basement and I'd like to start giving it a try. But maybe my Google skills are lacking - all of the things I search are for more advanced gym equipment. So I'm looking for some pointers, beginner steps/routines to go through a few times a week. My terminology is going to be very bad - but…

Does anybody work with food for a living?
Quite a number of years ago, I lost 70 lbs following a low carb WOE. I did well, and kept it off for two years. And then I fell of the bandwagon and gained pretty much all of it back. I'm determined to get myself healthy again. But one major thing has changed since the last time - I now work with food for a living.…
