The Do Over - open to new friends
Well, about 4 years ago I joined MyFitness Pal and lost approximately 40 pounds, 60 in total from my heaviest. I ran a half marathon and achieved personal success with several fitness goals. Unfortunately I sustained a couple of injuries that limited my fitness options and old habits resurfaced. I am back to MFP to keep…

Plantar's or Spurs - No more running or new plan?
Hello! Over the past several weeks my heel has been in pain. I used to run regularly, but since May of last year, I decreased the amount that I ran. Within the past month I've developed a serious discomfort in my heel that seems worse in the morning when I wake up and walk on it then later in the day, but the pain is…

Favorite Fats?
I always read a lot of posts about y'all eating a higher % of fat, which the math all makes sense, but I'm trying to translate that to what types of fat to consume. My favorite fat is avocado....I have literally made a big bowl of guacamole and eaten it with pork rinds and celery sticks til the bowl is pretty much empty. I…

Even with "goof up" days, shouldn't I be losing weight?
So, I have been far from perfect with my LC days. For a time I was diligent, aiming for 20 net carbs, then I started letting my intake go up. I would say I averaged between 40-60 total carbs on most of my days. I also was sticking around 1200 calories, a pretty big dip down from what I was eating when I hadn't gone LC.…

Keto Coffee - Best place for it?
So, I've been to Starbucks and gotten a Sugar-free vanilla latte with heavy whipping cream in place of the whole milk before. Love it! Well, we have 2 other coffee spots in town and yesterday I went to Human Bean and requested the drink as I do at Starbucks and the "seasoned" barista gave me my drink no questions asked.…

Validation for LCHF
I recently was reading my Health magazine at home and read this article (The Last Diet You'll Ever Need) and started laughing out loud. My husband was like, "What's up?" I explained that this article was showing multiple studies validating the LCHF lifestyle and that I found it funny that people get all up in arms about it…

Low Cost Almond Flour
So, I'm wanting to try to do some cooking/baking with almond flour, but it's too much money to spend on so little at the store. I recently saw a blog/article about a women who got blanched slivered almonds and finely chopped them in her food processor and also in her vitamix. She then baked some cookies with each type and…

Tried my first keto latte
My mom treated me to coffee this morning, and prior to going LC, I would typically order vanilla lattes...well, I did plenty of "studying" on suggested keto coffee options knowing I'd probably run into a "coffee date" with someone at some point in the near future....well, I did the sugar free latte with heavy whipping…

Any Runners in this Group?
I'm 10 days in on LC and feeling fairly good. Prior to starting LC I was training for a 10K. I did my first half marathon in the spring of 2015. I actually really enjoy running and want to continue the long runs when and where I can. However, when I did these runs before, especially at 4-6 miles I would eat a heavy carb…

Good Portable Snack Suggestions - Store bought & homemade
Hello! I'm currently at day 8 since dropping my carbs to 20-22 net carbs per day. I am currently in the middle of a competitive cheer season where I judge for probably 6-8 hours (possibly more!) at high schools across the state. During the competitions the directors offer food and beverage options to judges. Prior to going…

New and Trying to get back on track
Nearly 13 years ago I tried Atkins for the first time, while in college. I lost 30 pounds and felt really good. However, I didn't sustain the way of eating and, of course, gained the 30 pounds back and tacked on more. In the spring of 2014 my husband and I decided to take back our health and began watching calorie…

Dealing with the leftovers...skin, that is.
I am thrilled that I have dropped 29 pounds thus far in my journey, and am looking to loose another 27 pounds. Recently I have noticed that I have excess skin on my arms. I don't feel like there's any other place on my body that has this same "issue". I'm not ready to fork out a gym membership to go lift weights, so I know…

Better Late than Never
Hey there! I joined not that long ago when my husband bought a Garmin bracelet for tracking his walking. We've been on a weight loss journey together (along with our son) since April. As of this morning I'm down 27 pounds. This puts me at my short-term goal, which is under 200 lbs. Something I haven't been in probably 15+…
