I am 76 yrs old, I started keto just before Christmas 2020, I lost 35lb in 4 months then I caught covid, after I recovered I found it hard to stick to the diet, and eating the amount of meat and fats were causing health problems, and I yo-yo’d for the rest of the year until the weight gradually started rising again, now I…

Looking for stepping up physical activity, open to suggestions and any help
Hello! I'm 6 months in and down 45 pounds but still have 100 pounds to go. So far I've just been counting my calories and changed my diet to a low carb/keto/carnivore way of eating. Basically cutting out breads and sugars. This seems to be working but I think it's time to step up my physical activity. I do have some…

60 lbs to Machu Picchu
After failing to stick to calorie counting several times, I had this crazy idea. I booked a trip to Peru one year from now which will include hiking the Inca trail to Machu Picchu. It's a 3-day hike so I absolutely have to be in decent shape to make it. This trip is now serving as my motivation and a hard deadline to lose…

Finding faith!
It is so hard, some days to believe that I can go beyond what I have been able to do before. But the idea of doing just that, brings tears to my eyes, knowing if i can do this for myself, I can do more hard things in life with confidence. Today was a low day. Then I just kept at myself, that I could do it, and found faith.…

Does anyone have an electric bike and are they worth it??
I have a regular bike but find hills such a struggle that it makes me reluctant to go out for a bike ride (I’m very overweight at the moment) Wondering if an electric bike would make things easier for me and get me outdoors and active again. Please share your thoughts - thank you!

Gaining week 3
This is only my 3rd week on my 1200 calorie diet. I lost 3lbs first two weeks ( ok for my ht and wt) but put on 1.5 lbs week 3! I’m continuing to exercise 5-6 days a week ( about 100-150 calories a day) and I’m eating relatively low carb but about 3-4 portions of fruits a day. Could this be a problem? I do measure and now…

10kg down... So much more to go
Anyone else reach that first milestone only to realise there's so much more to go? Like this week I weighed in at under 100kg after around 2.5 months, meaning I've lost over 10kg. I'm definitely proud of myself. I never want to be over 100kg again if I can help it. It's just when I realise that I've got another 25-30 to…

Why is nothing working?
Hello everyone! I have been trying for the last couple months to regain my confidence and lose 30 pounds. I am at 146.2 and I dream of getting to 116. I have started using MyFitnessPal to count calories, eating 4 meals a day and cutting out sugary drinks/sweets. It has taken me so long to lose 3 pounds even when I exercise…

How motivation works
This popped up on my newsfeed on another platform, and I found it simply too true to not share. Motivation gives a spark, but the true fuel/fire of weight-loss and better health is discipline and consistency. (As well as flexibility in adjusting your strategy depending on your needs, circumstances...)

Look for engaged MFP friends

Is Video Documenting Weight Loss Actually a Motivator?
I have mixed feelings on this... I've followed some people who do this that just stop making progress losing weight and then make videos about food. I've seen some who go all the way. I'm absolutely not looking to be instafamous (I work a real job and I'm earning my BA). I was just curious what the consensus is on this?…

Breaking the binge / delete / create new account cycle
Sometimes I feel like an addict! As soon as I stray from my perception of a healthy day (even just a little), I go full throttle vacuum mouth mode. I've read a bit about binge-eating, and I understand that it isn't about the food as much as it's about the binge... but I can't seem to break the cycle. It's almost like, as…

With this in mind, I have decided to do what I am going to call a "Perfect Week Challenge". I am going to have it in writing exactly what I am going to eat, scheduled…
