in Motivation and Support
Hiya, I'd really like some more friends on here to be able to give each other support and look at diaries for ideas.
I like the thought of high protein/low carb but haven't got much of a clue...I *think* I eat okay but perhaps too much fat (nuts/cheese mainly) and too much red meat?
I have a 3 year old and 7 month old...I went up to 19 stone 3lbs after having my first child. Got down to 13 stone (I am 5ft 11, large frame size 12/14 UK, happy with that). Currently at 14 stone 7lbs and want to drop this last 21lbs in a healthy way :)
Thanks in advance :) x

    Hello:

    We have the same weight loss goal - 21 pounds. Feel free to add me, I also need encouragement. Over last 3 yrs I have lost 50 pounds; and maintained that for 2 yrs, but in last 6 months I have gained 20 back.

    Lowering body fat is my goal as well, as I totallly stopped working out 3 months ago and its time to start back up! I will focus on planning meals and snacks, logging all eaten foods in MFP, and staying away from processed, high sodium, high fat foods.

    I'm in the same boat! I'd like to lose body fat without losing too much muscle. I am finding that last bit of weight difficult to get off.

    I don't do low carb (tried it once, had terrible stomach issues), but I have 20 lbs left. I also have two small boys and a full time job, so I know about the juggling struggle! I got "dunked" and am trying to focus more on body fat reduction than weight, although I think my fitness routine is getting stale. Feel free to add me.

    You can add me! I'm restarting but I follow a keto-style diet with high fat/protein and low carbs. If you need ideas for low carbing, I can try helping you out. Good luck!!
