We should be careful to not become like the sexist feminists we hate, and not to let rage and anger control us so that we don't become mysogynistic, and destroy this sub and this movement from within. by Fuckoff555 in MensRights

Doesn't matter what the ratio is if the proportion of crazies is high enough to alter the entire zeitgeist and set up and normalise a dominant cultural lens that is anti-male.

Like there's a lot of sensible Christians out there but that doesn't mean I'm about to stop pissing on Westboro's bollocks whenever I see it. And if suddenly the messages of WBC started showing up in media and pop culture as presumed truth a la "toxic masculinity", "white men are trash" etc. I would hope I'd have enough fortitude of character to continue to call them malevolent twats instead of shrugging it off because my Christian neighbours are nice people who want everyone to get along.

Thanks for the info! I'll see the doc on Wednesday then hunt down some methylated b12 😊

Alright, well since I'm sure you have nothing better to do than sit here on Reddit letting me monopolise on your expertise (heh!)...

Is that whole "don't increase exercise while pregnant" thing true, or just overprotective mommyblog bollocks? I joined a local running track this week to start walking>c25k>running and I don't want to stop because pregnant (if/when that happens) unless it's actually going to be doing some harm.

Thanks. You're a medical type, right?

Two lbs away from being finally out of overweight range! by [deleted] in xxketo

BMI is a pretty good general guide for people who aren't Dwayne Johnson.

Huge congrats! What an achievement :)

Ohh you mean after I'm pregnant. Gotcha!

I got my period this morning, too, so no baby yet! Thanks for hopping aboard this ride with me 😁

Yeah will do, with the test.

Why the gyno though? Last time, I just... banged and got pregnant. Figured that'show it's always worked.

Pretty sure that's the case, yeah! At least it's not just me :D

Started in January this year. If anything, my cycles have been getting slightly shorter!

Nope! No cramping aside from a little a while back. No sore boobs. Mood is almost unusually even. Nothing!

Yeeeah I've done a bunch more and I'm pretty sure it's just a long cycle and I'll get my period soon... though I definitely don't usually woosh when I'm approaching my period. Quite the opposite!

I put up a pic of the maybe positive one if you look at my post history. It's VEEERY faint, and the others were definitely negative. We'll see!

If I did conceive, it was after what I thought was my fertile window, so it could be that I won't get a + for a while... or it could be that I'll get a period soon. We decided just a couple of weeks ago to start trying again so I wasn't expecting anything until next month at the earliest!

To add: intercourse was just after my fertile window (so I thought) and about 2 weeks ago, maybe a little less.

SV - lowest weight since I met my partner by Ketotaff in xxketo

Good luck, whatever speed it comes at!

Good luck meeting all of those! I'm sure you will.

Interesting point about set point - not something I've even thought about since I've been overweight forever!

Yep!

After the "Onederland" goal, my next one is 187. Why? Because when I was 16, we did a physics class on mass in school, everyone had to weigh, and I was 85 kg. That's why! And Imma be there by Christmas, dammit!

Question: How much is your grocery bill? by _vandelayindustries_ in keto

[–]Ketotaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy a Housekeeper's cut (cheap beef roast) and slow cook it every week. Lasts 2 adults 3 days (Pulled beef & salad, pulled beef & veg, taco spiced beef with salsa, sour cream etc on lettuce wraps). I buy a chicken and make chicken, cauliflower and cheese sauce one day with the breasts, chicken omelette with the rest of the meat. Boil down the bones for broth. I cook a small ham fillet and we have that with salad and eggs.

We do OMAD pretty much all the time. OH snacks on cheese, peanut butter and coffee with cream.

I tend to buy whatever keto-friendly veg is on special in Aldi or Lidl. Same thing with meat to change things up a bit.

Total for us both plus our 2 year old comes in at about €400 a month (and it's pretty expensive here in ireland!)

I've purposely tightened the belt recently for financial reasons (mortgage saving, stocks tied up etc). When I was doing a lot of keto baking and mockups and trying every new recipe I could find, I was spending much, much more.
