Blood-work Results for Cholesterol
I am posting my blood-work results comparing last year to this year, I have been keto (25 grams or less carbs per day) since November 1, 2016 (4 months).

It should NOT take 30 to 60 minutes to log each meal! It's just plain ridiculous, can people not read what's in front of them?!! How can there…

Getting Back on Track
When I first joined MFP I weighed in at 192 lbs. After a few months I got down to 165 lbs, carefully watching what I was eating and exercising to beat the band (I'm 47 and the weight doesn't come off as easy as it used to). Well, we moved, and we have been living with my son and his wife does most of the cooking, (I'm not…

Stomach stregthening exercises?
By now a few of you have seen me around, putting my 2 cents worth in here and there. I'm sure this topic has come up a few thousand times, but lets go for a thousand and one.
