DH and I have "creep weight" the weight just creeps up on you until you look in the mirror and wonder who the heck is THAT? We are on a Keto low carb/low calorie kinda sorta loose diet where we watch what we eat and heavily restrict carbs. Giving up carbs is hard. NO bowl of Coco Puffs cereal at night. My waist line has already slimmed down. We are determined to get the weight off.

Pred medicines will make you blow up like a dead roadkill hog in the sunshine on a hot Texas day. Not a lot you can do about that until you are off the Preds. Giving up smoking sure makes you a LOT healthier, but that also can put weight on because suddenly you can really taste food for the first time in many ?? years, and it is GOOD!

You will get yourself back on track and going in the direction that you want to be going in.

You got all the pens ready?

 

[Goat Whisperer]

Can't wait to see them! Will you be keeping them all or selling a few?

 

[GypsyG]

New critters... YAY!!!

I can't wait until I find a bigger place outside the city limits so I can get goats!

...and sheep... and pigs... and alpacas...

Don't forget to post pictures!

But apparently not fond of burdock and stinging nettle. The 2 problem plants I have here.

Get you some rabbits... They love stinging nettle. I dry it in my dried weed mix I make for winter feeding.

Yeah, the alpacas are good at finding the burrs in the burdock, they don't eat it. And they don't eat stinging nettle.

What breed of rabbits eat stinging nettle? There are wild rabbits here and I don't see any nettle disappearing unless I pull it out.

Meat mutts. My chickens seem to enjoy it too when cut and carried to their coop, but they don't seem overly zealous about it when they are free ranging my back yard.

Get yourself a Vermont big foot flemish giant.... if it doesn't eat them, then you can eat it !

The giant or the nettles? Nettles actually make pretty tasty cooked greens with a little bacon grease, some onions and a squeeze of lemon juice.
