5k time brag
My fastest time in years! I had taken a year break from running due to a small number of things and just got back into it when the gyms closed up. Saturday I was into my music, my zombies run app, and before I knew it 5k(3miles) was gone! In 26minutes. I was flying for the rest of the day! I don’t even care if I see…

PMS
This time of month is a huge trigger point that often sets me back into my high carb binging episodes. Handfuls of chocolate chips, muffins, multiple baked potatoes, dried fruit by the handful; I can empty the pantry and decimate my weekly/monthly deficit in hours. Not fun! Today I was on the edge. Had a nap, found some…

Hide The Scale
I am a daily weigh in type of person. I like the numbers, I like to log it in my happy scale app, I like the motivation. Except, I have this weird habit sometimes, not always, but about 1/3 of the time. After a drop in weight my brain says “great job, now you get a break for a day”. And I justify it by calling it a cheat…

Why are some WOE more acceptable than others?
Mods: please remove this if it is against guidelines. I am just wondering why there is so much pushback against low carb high fat or Keto WOE but never against others like vegetarian or vegan? A vegan can ask a dietary question and have it answered directly with no off topic replys. A poster asking for advice or info about…

I was dreaming about carbs last night...
Specifically, the chewy chocolate chip cookies I came home from work to find my son had made. And it continued through the night, dreams of croissants, bagels, and pastry. I really am not craving them at all during the day, I feel great on keto at the moment. Weird reaction though. Anyone else have weird dreams/daydreams…

Back after a break.
Was in Cuba for a week in February and could not get back on track with low carb, or low cal, or anything but "must eat all the things" since we returned. My brain just would not stick to it. Yesterday I found myself eating keto without even thinking about it. So I guess this is day 2!! Typically I enjoy keto for about a…

Camelina oil
does anyone else love camelina?? I like that it is a lighter flavoured oil than olive and that I can put it in my smoothie and I don't get weird little floaty chunks like with coconut oil. It has lots of omega 3 as well. I buy a brand that is organic, grown and processed within 100km of me, but his brand has similar info.…

So glad I found you!
I had been a daily reader in this forum years ago and just got back into tracking through mfp in November. I am 10lbs away from goal right now and have always toyed with going keto since I tend towards low carb easily. I could not find this forum again until today! So happy to see all the low carb posts and meal ideas!!

Fitness trackers.
I just spent a day and a half researching them again. Fitbit HR vs Jawbone UP3 vs a traditional chest strap monitor. And a few others. Decided none of them would make me happy. I really love the idea of a tracker on my wrist but feel after all the reading and chart comparing that the tec is too new, not accurate, mostly…

I bought cottage cheese today...
one of my biggest trigger foods. Usually a 750gm tub of it will only last 24-36hours in the house if I am lucky. I had a serving for lunch alongside beet Borcht, cucumber slices and a tin of oysters. My other trigger foods can be cookies, there was a day this month where I ate 8 fresh homemade cookies in one evening before…

Stalking You
I am about 13lbs away from maintenance at the moment. I maintained just barely inside my healthy BMI for all of last year and in oct of his year decided to peel off the last 20. Being this close to just being able to maintain weight/go through a recoup makes me so happy! So now I am watching you! I wanna see what you eat,…

Dip vs Veggies
Anyone else like the dip far more than the veggies? I make my dip with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream so at least I get some good protein. Usually I just add a pig of reduced sodium onion soup mix to a 500ml container. Any other great dip suggestions??

If anyone knows their body fat percentage and feels like typing their stats into some online calculators to see which one is accuarate…

Help please, suggestions welcome
I have been at this for a few weeks now and am at a loss. I initially lost 8lbs and have since gained a pound at each of my last 2 weigh ins. I started at a 1200 cal goal and lost but have bumped it up to the 1500 that is my BMR because I thought I may be holding on to weight due to low calories. My excersise is not well…

Another newbie!
Hey, I am new here as of about a week ago. I am so far loving the tools and the boards look like a grat place for info and support. I started my weight loss journey at 190lbs, and on mfp at 177.5 lbs. I weighed in yesterdy at 173lbs. I feel great about that but have really been tempted today. It would be so easy to just…
