Where's my menstrual cycle?
Could Keto cause me to skip my cycle? I've only been eating this way for about 2 1/2 weeks. My cycles are usually longer, like 33-35 days but I'm on day 45 right now. And, no, I'm not pregnant. I can't think of anything else that's changed.

What can I eat at the fair? Keto fair foods?
We have a major fair coming up this weekend that we go to every year. I want to have a plan going in so that I am not tempted to eat something I shouldn't. What should I be looking for?

Net Carbs
I started Keto on Monday so this is only day three for me. I feel pretty good and I like it so far. I was wondering if I should be looking at total carbs or net carbs in my diet. I've heard net carbs are all that matter but I haven't seen much info on net carbs here in the forumn. Also, I have an open diary and I'd love to…

Kid Transportation Service
I was wondering if you all could help me with a business idea I have. I have a daughter that will be starting Kindergarten in two years. The problem is, I am gone for work 7am-6pm and her daycare does not transport to her school. So, I thought maybe there are other people out there with a similar problem. Is there a…

Graze Code US
Just got my first graze delivery yesterday! I am currently set up to get deliveries every two weeks but I might increase to once a week. I really like having these convenient, healthy snacks available to me. If anyone wants to try, they are invite- only. I have a code to get the first & fifth box free. AMYM4GL9B is the…

High Fructose Corn Syrup
I am trying to cut as much HFCS out of my diet as possible. While reviewing ingredient lists, I see some things have corn syrup listed. Is this the same thing? Just as bad? Should I choose sugar as an ingredient over those two ingredients?

Coffee Creamer for clean eaters?
Is there one? I am trying to "clean" up my diet but I can't give up my coffee cream. I know that almond milk is an option, but I don't really like it in my coffee, it's just not the same.

Mall of America?
I know this has nothing to do with anything on here but I wanted to ask on MFP because there are so many people from all over the country on here and I want to get opinions. Anyway, my husband and I have to take a vacation in March and we live in Ohio. March is not the ideal time to go on vacation around here because it…

Best way to lower cholesterol?
My company has started charging 10% extra on health insurance if you fail their screening. They check for tabacco, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose. I passed everything except for cholesterol. My total cholesterol is 223 when it should be under 200 and my LDL is 143 when it should be under 100. My HDL was…

Question from a new member
Hi all! I just joined this group yesterday, I hope you don't mind. I also just started trying weight watchers on Monday. My question is, how do you keep the points low? Is it to eat high fiber foods, high protein, low fat? What is it?

0-1 point snacks
What are some easy 0-1 point items you have found besides what is listed on the WW site as zero points? I am new to this and am trying to figure out how to best spend my points. For example, I found that the Fiber One Strawberry Yogurt is only 1 point. What else is good to snack on for 1 point or less?

Help with recipe
I made this recipe and I love it. I feel like it is a pretty healthy, well rounded meal that I could eat everyday for lunch. My problem is that it is a bit high in calories for lunch considering I only get 1200 calories per day. I have the serving size at 1.5 cups. It doesn't seem like a whole lot so I wouldn't want to…

Eating back exercise calories not for me?
I'm starting to think eating back exercise calories is not for me. I don't lose as much weight when I eat back all my calories. I'd lose like .8lbs each week by doing that. This past week, I ate close to 1200 calories each day did not eat back the exercise calories and lost 3lbs. Maybe it's just because I kicked my body…

Salt and Sweating
First off, let me say that I ALWAYS go over on my salt. I probably consume 3500mg of salt on average every day. Bad, I know. I'm working on it... But, I also have salt-heavy sweat. If sweat gets into my eyes when I am working out, it burns. I feel grimy after sweating and I can taste it on my skin. I sweat a lot probably 4…

Why did I only lose .8 lbs this week?
My diary is open. Help. I feel like I did pretty good this week, but I only lost .8lbs. What am I doing wrong? I did have my time of the month this week, but it's been over for at least 2 days now. So, what is it?

What percent should my macros be set at?
I am trying to lose weight and I run 4 days a week. What mix of carbs, fat and protein should I aim for? Right now, I have it set at 45% Carbs, 30% protein, and 25% fat. I don't know if that is a good target or not.

The unspoken dangers of trail running!!
The grossest thing happed to me today during my trail run. First of all, I don't know why, but I have been peeing more often than usual today. So, when I started my run, I kinda felt like I had to pee (even though I had just peed 15 mins earlier). It's hot here and I run near a lake so there can be a lot of bugs. I was…

Head games while running...
My run today was WEAK! I started running 3 months ago and I just ran my first 5k this past Saturday in 34:32 and I have ran 30 mins before without stopping, but today I had to stop running after only 12 mins. I couldn't get out of my head enough to complete the run that I indended. I kept making excuses for why I should…

I am also most likely going to…
