Hi All,

I started a low carb eating lifestyle about 2 months ago. I’m down 20lbs but I’m having a hard time getting my carbs down to 20 grams/day. I’ve been averaging 35/day. I use the Lose It! App and track everything I put in my mouth. I don’t eat breakfast, around 11 I’ll have 2oz cheese with a celery stick, lunch is minimal too. Dinner is healthy protein & veggies. I’m losing consistently, but wonder if I could do more. I test and I’m not in Ketosis 🤨 although I do not eat anything with sugar! Did I mention that I read Every label. Oh, but I do love a 3/4 c of sugar free pudding made with 2cups heavy cream/1 cup water.....could this be the reason?

Any advise?

Are you using a program like My Fitness Pal to track your intake. The goal is to not have more than 7 grams if carbs per meal. If you track them you can easily see what needs adjustments. For me a typical day is B- Coffee with heavy cream ( eat at break at work) 2 hard boiled eggs smashed with salsa and 2 pieces of precooked bacon [i cook a batch on Sunday along with eggs and bring it all to work]. L- caprease salad D- a bowl of chicken fajitas or steak and asparagus .

Just got back from Splendor cruise. Oh my Lord the coffee is disgusting! Not even the coffee bar was good. Very disappointing. Bring some Via's with you and your own creamers.

Stone island was heaven!! Great Sandy beach with a good place to get a bite to eat and drink. Would definitely do it again!

I had posted the bus price which is 7.5 Pesos. By the way, in Mexico they use the dollar sign for their Pesos which can confuse folks. So if you see $7.5 it means about 35 cents :). A taxi to the Malecon for $6 would be a good price. But expect taxi drivers to ask for $10 or more....and be prepared to bargain. Many locals call the high prices "gringo prices."

My daughter and I returned from our cruise just today. While in PV we took the white van ( there were several white vans and taxis right outside the ship ) They charged everyone $4 per person to drop off at the Malecon. The stop was where Starbucks was which worked for us to grab some ice coffee, Wi-Fi and air conditioning before we started our walk down the boardwalk.

The return taxi did charge us $5 each to get back to the ship.

Folding Beach Blanket those kind you know that you can zip into a square yay or nay?

Thank you all for input I have a better idea what we are going to do.

Besides tipping approximately how much US cash should someone bring for a cruise through the Mexican Riviera. I am assuming about 50 bucks or so for taxi rides would everything else be put on a card for dinners, drinks and what not

Looking for ideas for bulk cooking for Keto. Breakfast on the run too. My biggest issue is that I work (commute) so much. I am running out the door early and by the time I get back I don't have much energy. Eat out too much for lunch and dinner.

Hoping this weather will be all cleared up soon. We leave June 30th

Barbara - don't see the request? Try again! Thanks

Esahuma, I just put in a request too. Doing a little bit of research on Keto and would really like to give it ago. Probably after I get back fr on my cruise since I am leaving on the 30th I if this month. My daughter is getting married next June and I want to loose 30 lbs before then.

FYI Lyft doesn't have surge pricing but Uber does.

Cruise starting June 30th. Looks like rain and thunderstorms are predicted. What do you do while at port?I was looking forward to the beach.

Thank you ☺

Isn’t there bubbles program for cola and such ?

Bubbles includes sodas and juice only. Cheers includes drinks like virgin daiquiri's, milkshakes and specialty coffees.

Leaving on the Splendor soon. I have read both that you can get a lanyard at the casino and also that they stoped giving them out.

Which is It? Do I need to buy them before I go ?

Following

In California if your license gets revoked you have to wait 3 years then you can start the appeal process . I would tell him to follow the same process. In 3 years he will be 20 and if he wants it he will be more mature and with help can appeal it.

Found it thank you :)

I was looking on the Carnival site and I can't find where to do that. My cruise is paid in full all I see is the link to print my boarding pass.

I want to use a different one than the line I paid for my cruise with. Is that taken care of at check in?

Don't take any food from the ship into port. They have dogs stationed right when getting off the tender checking all bags, purses, backpacks, etc. for fresh foods - even coffee. They will take it all away, including your cup of coffee.

Good to know thank you. Not that we would take much but we are smackers so I can see us having a little something in our bag.

Only wines made with grapes grown in the Champagne Region of France are permitted to be labeled as champagne under international law and the authority of the French government. :confused:

There are exceptions such as Korbel ;)

Anyone have one to post? Leaving for the Mexican Riviera soon :):)😊

Thank you

On another thread I was reading over the Fun Times they posted and on port day it said to keep your Sail and Sign card as well as your Government issued ID with you at all time. Can you take your drivers license with you instead of your passport when you go to port?
