Success/struggles of the week/month ( since i don't always post weekly): I'm very happy with the way things are going. I have been walking more, walking dogs and going for an extra walk by myself, since they aren't always willing to go an extra turn around the block with me. I still ride as much as i can, weather permitting, plus some extra cycling commute to work. My main concern is still lack of sleep, hehe, as i type this past midnight and my wife is repeatedly asking me when i plan to finally go to bed. This is a big problem i can't seem to fix. I drink herbal tea and take melatonin, and still struggle to go to bed at earlier time.

Hi everyone,
This is my first time to join a maintaining thread. I'm hoping to learn some more about what works for me and to support you! I took the HCG route for loss back in March 2015. I did a couple of rounds starting weight was 207. I have been down to 167 however, that was not a healthy weight for me. I wanted to get fit not just be thin. So, I have been doing youtube videos for about 2 years consisting of HIIT, body weight exercises, arms, legs using HASFIT, Popsugar, Fitness Blender. This summer I walked 3 miles a day, 3 mph/19 min mile, 6 days a week. I concentrated on eating clean and green however, did not log into MFP. I made sure to drink half my weight in water. I did not lose a pound. In fact, I gained 4-6. So, I started Keto 5 days ago. I am not sure what diet to follow: keto, low-carb or what. I recently was diagnosed with Hashimotos but have probably had it for a while the doc said. Also, dealing with the woman years, yuk (creating anxiety) lots of hair loss Oh, and I'm an empty nester (tears). Looking forward to meeting you and cheering you on! My goal this week is to determine HOW to eat to lose and stay fit. Cheers

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week:
Success: lost a pound--started Keto and been on for 5 days.
Struggle: Not knowing HOW to eat. Confused on what my macros should be. Would like to see what MFP's goals were for me, but can't figure out how to find that on the app?? I did log in macros of Carbs:5% Protein: 55% and Fats: 40%. Don't know where this will get me and hope I don't gain.
Make it a great week!7 -

Success(es)/struggle(s) of the week: success: I found a new breakfast this week. I’m eating a paleo pancake mix that I added protein powder too. Struggle: trying to figure out how to eat now that I’m eating more. I’ve added some carbs back in, but I realize they can be a trigger. I’ve upped my protein to help with wanting to binge.6
