HOW????
Hello. I've been tracking my calories and macros, checking in each day etc. etc for awhile now. I determined that I prefer a LCHF over the last three years but I've never gone so far as keto. Now that my husband is very interested in trying keto, I'm looking to make the shift from just LCHF to full on keto so that I can…

A Different Sort of Success
I’ve been seeing my hairdresser for years now so we talk about pretty much everything. It’s been a little while that’s she’s been unhappy with her weight. She was also told she has some food allergies so she’s tried a few different things, some of them pretty wacky including the blood type diet, with limited success. The…

Calorie Intake During Injury Recovery
Not getting any action in the other forum I posted this in. Not sure it was in the correct place so I'll give it a try over here: I managed to mess up my knee last month. Old sports injury back to haunt me. I'm out of the acute phase, getting into recovery with my physiotherapist and things are coming along fairly well.…

Calorie Intake During Injury Recovery
I managed to mess up my knee last month. Old sports injury back to haunt me. I'm out of the acute phase, getting into recovery with my physiotherapist and things are coming along fairly well. I've taken an entire month off at the gym to focus on getting my leg into a good condition before going back to CrossFit. I've also…

Low Energy
Not low motivation but low energy as in I've gotten myself out of bed, over to my crossfit class and I'm struggling to get through the workout or lift the weight I know I'm capable of. I got down to 125lbs and started recomping close to two years ago to reduce my BF%. Recently though, I became frustrated with my progress…

Frustrating Spouse
I'm having a hard time because my husband seems to think it's a forgone conclusion that I will leave him now that I've lost weight and improved my fitness despite the fact that I'm not interested in going anywhere or being with anyone else. This has become an issue lately because, when we have normal, generally trivial…

SCALE VARIATION
I've been at this for a while now, going on 3 years. I lost some weight initially and have been working at recomping since then. Things are going well enough but I made the stupid decision to get myself a new scale over the weekend. The one I've been using up until now was a really cheap analogue that measures in 2lb…

IT Band foam rolling
https://youtu.be/bXS5v5RZJSM I found this video while researching foam rolling. It seems reasonable enough but I didn't even take biology in high school so the idea that my IT band is comprised of a million tiny, angry gremlins that hate the foam roller is equally reasonable. For those of you with more knowledge of human…

IT Band Foam Rolling
No action on this in the Health and Fitness forum. Maybe it's a debate topic haha https://youtu.be/bXS5v5RZJSM I found this video while researching foam rolling. It seems reasonable enough but I didn't even take biology in high school so the idea that my IT band is comprised of a million tiny, angry gremlins that hate the…

LCHF but not LCHF enough to be keto
I've recently adjusted my macro split to be more LCHF because I find fat very satiating so I'm able to keep my overall calorie intake lower to the tune of about 200/day. I'm a little concerned, though, that I may just be hamstringing my progress since I'm not low carb enough to get into keto. Is there a minimum threshold…

Foam Rolling
My massage therapist/physiotherapist has told me to add foam rolling to my normal stretching routine. She thinks it will help loosen my calves up in particular so I am giving it a go but, HOLY GOD, the foam roller belongs in the annals of history along alongside thumbscrews, the rack, and the iron maiden. I cannot believe…

Medical question
My husband had a chunk of his cheek removed and sent for biopsy a couple weeks ago. He saw the doctor today and was told that he has pre-cancerous cells so they're going to give him a topical cream that is supposed to "make the cancer come out of his face". Once he finished up with that, he goes back for another round of…

Stalled in a weird place...
I began weighing and logging my food around the end of January using the calorie intake assigned to me by the trainer at my crossfit gym based on my BMR plus a combo of HIIT and heavy lifting 5x a week. Even though I had to build up to attending 5x a week, which took 2 months, I lost a steady 3 lbs per month for the first…

Aw yea!!
I just had a fella at the front counter at work tell me out of no where that I am ripped and look like Linda Hamilton from Terminator 2! This is the first such comment since I started calorie counting and crossfitting in January. I guess my hard work is visibly paying off. So happy right now!

Things no one warned you about getting slimmer...
My boobs...where did they get off to?? I'm down to a B cup from DD :( Because I have much less padding than I'm used to on my backside, I managed to break my tailbone on the seat of the commode of all embarrassing things :(

Garmin Swim Watch
Anyone else use one of these? I've had mine for coming on a month now. Things started out just fine but seem to have gone haywire the last couple of swims. I was steady at a particular pace, SWOLF, and distance the first dozen times out. My last two outings though, the watch is telling me that I've increased my pace by…
