Why do you log in?
I see there hasn't been much going on in this group and it's not as big as I had hoped it to be, so I'm going to pose a question to the ones that are here? Why do you log in? I see 90% of us have at least logged in today. What do you do first? Do you immediately log food/exercise, do you check the forums? And what is your…

Cauliflower Rice help
Question 1: Is it better/easier to buy frozen bags of cauliflower and grate them? Or buy a fresh whole head and freeze what you don't use? I guess I've never frozen a cauliflower head before. But I want to make it last. (I'm feeding 3 people per meal) Question 2: Anybody ever put grated cauliflower in their meatloaf? for…

EASY and FAST breakfast ideas
I'd like to stick with LCHF way of eating, but since I'm just getting back into this...I need ideas/reminders of breakfasts that are fast and easy to make in the mornings, or if I can make it ahead and micro it in the morning that works too. I have maybe 20 minutes or less to myself most mornings.

Starting over
Ok - I'm asking you to talk to me like I'm stupid here. I did low carb at one point, didn't have any success except I was more "regular" I want to get back to that again but have COMPLETELY forgotten how I did it. I'm a single momma of 2 tween girls, who are ALWAYS going - softball, 4H, dog stuff...blah blah blah.... We…

If *kitten* doesn't change I'll see 300. - Thats disgustingly scary - but honestly it only bothers me when my clothes are tight. I tried the diets - I've done low carb - was the easiest of all food changes I've tried walking I upped that…

Setting macros on MFP
:smiley: New here, but not new here. I'm back because I'm a 35 yr old single mom who is going to meet 300lbs if I don't do something now. To keep this story short...once upon a time...I used to do low carb, it didn't last, stress and kids and money(lackthereof) and pasta got in the way. I don't know that I ever got down…

So...I'm back
Wow. I've been gone long enough that MFP asked me to reset my goals and such. I need to get back on it. I've not gained any extra weight, at least my starting weight is the same as when I left...but I'm not any healthier. Tonight I hit the gym again to at least get to know the eliptical again, and lift a few weights.…

It would be great if I could just remember *kitten*.
I'm about 99.8% sure that I put a beautiful whole chicken in the crock pot, garlic salt, seasoned to perfection. And didn't turn the cotton-pickin crockpot on.

Is this for real??
So I bought some Fareway Bratwurst patties last night, thinking there's all kinds of fillers in them I can't have them, but the kids wanted them.... Um... Calories 390 Carbs 0 Fat 32 Protien 24 Other than them being fairly high in calories. (and incredibly salty) Is this for real? Like I can have a "convenience" food -…

Salt making us fat article
Ok becuase you guys do such a good job at explaining things to the newbies like me. :) This article basically is saying in very simpleton terms that Salt is making us fat. But yet lots and lots of stuff in LCHF has salt. Well the things that I can think of off the top of my head anyways.... I sometimes do have a hard time…

Yes...I think need you to draw me a picture :(
Ok so...back on 7/17 I went to the doctor to figure out what the heck is wrong with me, at that point I had crashed the wagon and set it on fire. There was no jumping back on or off. $500 in lab tests later we determined I'm Vitamin D deficient, and take me off of birthcontrol, then in August because I'm ridiculously mood…

Happy Thoughts wanted!
Sooo...I think it's been determined that my root cause of all of my issues are hormonal. I'm going to start progesterone treatments (essentially a cream) continue my vitamin D, find me a different form of Magnesium (because for lack of more polite terms - I'm tired of being able to shat thru a screen door) but hoping that…

Its in the house how do I avoid it???
Ok so...the last two days I've been home ill with a RIDICULOUS headache/migraine. I've not really desired to eat much at all. However I'm back to normal and ravid as normal unfortunately. But being at home when I'm not hungry (which never happens), I realize how many items that I keep around for my kids but yet I can't…

*kitten* happens
I'm so glad the people in here are so real, and aren't afraid to admit when *kitten* happens or that they have cravings for non lchf stuff. And that they have stressful lives too. And supportive. Thank you! Just wanted to throw that out there.

Should I get a 2nd opinion??
Ok so I finally got into a new doctor, and we're already off to a rough start. I went in and described all of my symptoms, and they did labwork, which I should get my $50 back, because I was right, I'm completely normal, with one exception. My vitamin D level is super low. Should be 40 and I'm a 16. So after discussing in…

Real-Life, Real-Girl (or guy) Solutions Needed
My old trainer said you don't see fat runners. Well hmm... *kitten* you. I do. I'm 5'5", 240, I have alot of jiggle between my legs, and I have a floppy big bum. There I've said it. I'm a big girl. That said, I'm struggling with my running/jogging. I recently did a 10k, and I think by the grace of whatever it is you…

Conversation with Doctor Need suggestions
I still can't get into my doctor until August. But here's the scenario. Since November of 2014. I've gained almost 20lbs. I've remained active - Y 3 times a week or more, cheer coaching, etc... I do believe I watch what I eat, I truly do. I weigh items, I count, I do low carb. Not only do I believe, my food log in my…

Fibit Charge HR questions
Ok so I've fiddled with it till I'm blue in the face: 1. How do I reset the numbers. It came out of the box with 5 hours of sleep, 29 steps and what not, how can I get those to 0 out. 2. I try to Bluetooth it to my Samsung Galaxy 5 and it says "could not communicate with device." Huh? I'll primarily be using the app. It…

Weekends
Ok so for a very long time. Every other weekend when I don't have my kids. I've made a huge effort that I just plain and simple...don't want to cook. (with the exception of the microwave) So I'd get a pizza and eat on it all weekend, or hit the drive thru if I was out and about. Things that I don't do when I have my kids.…

Am I getting carried away with fats?
Ok - so today since I've got computer access today I plugged in my macros, and I'm a little shocked. My Bigelow Raspberry Tea with 2 stevia packets, and 4 tblsp of heavy whipping cream tops out at 24 g fat. (This is for a 16 oz mug) I sometimes have two mugs, soooo whoof. I'm still trying to get over the fact that one mug…

Back from vacation and kinda glad
I'm sad that I have to park my butt back at my cubicle. Don't get me wrong...but on vacation I didn't plan our meals out very well, or well it could have just been the fact that we were in a big city and it freaked me out, I wanted to get from point A to B like yesterday :wink: (Don't judge I'm a 35mph town girl) Over…

Half and Half in Tea
Ok - so I had an old packet of black tea with orange rind and spices in it warmed up some water, and I put a packet of stevia and a dab of half and half in it, turned out great...well except I don't really like that flavor of tea. So I tried it again with green tea Lipton green tea with cranberry and pomegranate, did the…

Help me hang in there
Ok so for a little over two weeks, I've done pretty good with my LCHF (no I don't log here normally the app isn't working on my phone, so I do it old fashioned pencil and paper) and my only progress is that I poop really good. I feel better since I've gotten back in the gym. But I'm up 5lbs. This is where the frustration…

Starting over
Ok - so after a bit of therapy and a bout with binge eating and borderline bulemia...I know I have an absorbent about of self shame to get thru....now I need to remember all the things/facts about food I tried to forget. That being said I'm going back to the low"er" carb, higer protien/fat meal plan. I say lower because I…
