It’s been awhile...
So, life got in my way. I’ve been so tied up with helping my youngest with his diagnosis of ADHD and SPD. He just finally started Therapy last week and I’m very hopeful! All that plus managing a very stressful time at work all this being a single mom taking care of the kids I went down the rabbit hole. It’s been almost a…

Good morning!
First, thank you for the invite to the group! Yesterday started my restart of low carb. I went for an all protein day to kickstart myself and only slipped up twice yesterday!

More salt please!!
I'm struggling to get my 1.5 tsp of salt in a day. I've been adding a pinch of salt to every cup of water consumed as well as putting it on most food during the day as well... this is frustrating me to no other! I'm still way short!! Desperate for suggestions on getting my salt in!!

Sleeping like a caveman...

Sweeteners question
I'm thinking about testing out sweeteners over the next few weeks to find the one that's right for me. I've been using Splenda for years! Although it's got me through for a long time I'm curious if I have a glucose reaction to it. I've tried Stevia, actually still have a bag of it in my pantry for emergencies but I can't…

Wait, seriously I take a daily dose of…

Old school gallbladder surgery?
So I know many of you have had their gallbladder removed. I had mine out but at the time I was 28 weeks pregnant and they had to do a large incision just at my rib line. Now that I am really hitting my exercise level I'm concerned about my ab routine. If I stretch the wrong way or sometimes just laugh too hard I get a…

Nausea
I don't know if I have a bug, something I ate or something I drank. I feel so super sick. Nauseous, dizzy. I'm trying my best to drink some MIO electrolyte but every sip just adds to it.

My Body Hates Me.... Can I have a new one?
Over the last few years I seem to have had one thing after another.... First it was my diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Then it was prediabetes which with my eating habits and my numbers is more likely T2. Followed by a B12 deficiency. Now it's been determined that I likely have superficial blood clots in my leg. No worries of…

Fibromyalgia anyone?
I'm curious if anyone out here also has this. I've been officially diagnosed for about two years now. For the last month or so my left leg has been the worst area. However today while out on a field trip for work my left leg went weak at the hip. I can lift my leg while standing to walk if I really focus on my walking, if…

Hello everyone!
I'm new here, obviously. I would love to get some friends on board to cheer each other on and be supportive. My goal here is to lose some weight and get healthier. I've done diet after diet, always start off great but usually let life get the best of me and fall face first off the wagon and eat dirt. So I'd also love to…
