Oopsie bread
I finally made some oopsie bread over the weekend, most of it was pretty runny but I did get a couple out of it. But I found it just tastes like egg lol Since its made of egg, I don't know why I was surprised by this. Do you guys add anything to it to make it taste better?

replacement for heavy cream
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a low carb, but not so high calorie food to use instead of heavy cream? I made two AMAZING dishes yesterday, both required heavy cream. I made them, ate them then logged into MFP and the calorie count was so high. First meal was a baked spaghetti squash, filled with heavy cream,…

I need to stop getting on the scale!
Anyone else get totally frustrated with the scale?? I am at the 10 day mark, down to 211.2 from 218. In 6 months I haven't had the scale move that much so why aren't I ecstatic??? The last 3 days the scale hasn't moved and for some reason I'm so annoyed by that!

learned my lesson
Starting this morning with a cup of broth and packed another cup in my lunch for work. Was reading a book last night "Why we are fat" (I think that's what its called, by the guy that did good calories, bad calories) and he says two cups of broth per day. Its just such a contradiction to the mindset that sodium is bad I…

nausea
Can the "flu" symptoms come and go? I felt great last week, especially this past weekend, but today am really nauseous. Trying not to give in and have some crackers. I'm not sure if this is diet related, or am I getting a bug :neutral: Also wondering if I have a drink on weekend, or eat higher carb on weekend, am I likely…

anyone powerlifting?
I had to drop my deadlift weight by 25 pounds to 175 tonight. I know it would be individual, but anyone know how long it will take to get my strength back to normal? My workout felt like it went on forever tonight!!

Day 1
My orthopedic surgeon recommended I try LCHF to lose weight pre hip replacement (I'm 42 years old). So today was my day to start, its 5:30 here and I'm not a happy person! I thought this was going to be tough, but didn't really get how tough the first few days would be. I'm sticking with it though. I just put some broth in…

Can never get on the squat rack
I've been doing the stronglifts program for 3 weeks. I'm never able to get on the squat rack at the gym!! Its always full, and people are waiting to use it. Is it bad etiquitte to just hang around and wait for it??? It drives me crazy. I've been doing goblet squats and last workout got to 90 pounds with a dumbbell, but no…

Strong curves?
Anyone out there do this program? So much of my hip problems are related to weak glutes so I am looking at this program to try next. I love that it had a chapter on pelvic floor dysfunction....I have never read something about the pelvic floor in such detail in a lifting book.

arthritis and lifting
Does anyone have arthritis? I have it in my hip along with some labral degeneration. I'm feeling pretty tight since starting these workouts. My physio couldn't believe how tight I was after only a couple sessions of lifting. I'm going to do dumbell squats tomorrow and hold them at my side so I'm not loading too much on my…

First workout done!
So went off and did my first workout today. When I went into Goodlife, said I signed up online and wanted to start he sat me down and asked what my goals were. I said I was starting the Stronglift 5X5 program. He was surprised and let me get right to it, lol. Not the usual sell they give you. I do need to have someone show…

First workout tomorrow
I have read the PDF and downloaded the app. I'm curious though - has anyone not been able to do the reps with the 45 pound Olympic bar? I've rejoined goodlife and am planning to go in the am. I'm just wondering what to do if I can't do all 5 with the bar. I'm hoping they have a bar lol

Exercises with hip injury
I'm getting pretty bored with my current exercises given by my PT. I have a bad hip so my recommended exercises so far are clams, side lying leg lifts, wall sits, lateral walks with a band around my legs, single leg deadlifts and plank. I'm pretty bored - anyone have any good exercises that would engage the glutes, inner…

? about activity levels and IPOARM
My cal intake is set at TDEE -20% and I selected lightly active since I've had to really scale back on the intensity of my workouts thanks to a hip injury. This week there are no workouts planned due to the nature of the injury. Thing is, I'm starving. I go to bed hungry every night. The last three days I've made an effort…

Hitting protein
I have my macros set to IPOARM recommendations. I'm supposed to hit 180 gms of protein a day. Its rather daunting. I have my day planned, and have only 80gms of protein so far. Even if I add in a vega shake, I'm not going to hit the 180, not even close. How do you do it???

Very frustrated!!!!
I've been at this since Jan. 2. My friend who started with me is shrinking my the minute, and I'm up then down, up then down. I'm trying so hard, staying in my cal goal with the occasional treat and great workouts. I'm sure my antidepressants don't help, but trying not to use that as an excuse and blow it all. Argh!!!

Gym offering Insanity classes
My gym has just announced they are offering official Beachbody Insanity classes. Has anyone ever done the classes? I'm curious as to what it will be like. I haven't bought the videos because I have a bad hip and usually stick to the Cardio BOB boxing classes.

Which Body fat calculator??
I don't have a scale that measures body fat, so calculated this am using the calculators avail on Fat2Fit. I used both the Military calculation and the Covert Bailey calculation. They gave me very different numbers - 37% vs 28.5%. Which do I use??? Funny though, they both gave me the same goal weight of 170 pounds. Maybe…

Stories of weight loss during injury??
I'm having a pity party. For the last three years I've had a lot of issues with my left leg/hip. I've tried everything, everyone has a theory on what it may be. A week an a half ago I had a cortisone shot in my bursa and this dr seemed so confident everything would be better. Well, starting last Wednesday I now have…

Fitbit users question
Hi there I recently upgraded to the fitbit one. This a.m. I have gotten out of bed, gone to the basement to feed the cat, and made my kids their breakfast. Otherwise I've been sitting at my computer. Yet, somehow I've gotten an additional 166 cals from exercise already added to my day. How can this be??
