I am not sure about all this.. i am HYPO and on synthroid and have started keto on my own (because my doctor takes months to get in to see) and have lost some weight. Its slow goin, but going. I dont do strict keto and keep my carbs between 20&25 - maybe a tad more if workouts give me back a couple carbs. I assume if my…

I have had a membership for a couple weeks now and still tend to go to the cardio machines i know. I try and get to the free weights and mats behind the cardio equipment when i see no one is there. Today i did some crunches and weight ball/ ab workouts and there was a tiny thing killing it with some weights beside me and…

I dont use a coach, theres a few facebook groups i am part of that i can ask questions when i need to. And i use Carb Manager, where you can put all your info in, it calculates the net carbs for you, and shows in a wheel how much you have left to hit your goal intake for carbs fats and protein for the day.

I just made a keto account the other day so people on my normal acc dont get annoyed at food pics and keto posts. You can follow me as well and i will follow back, its @carb.lover.turned.keto

okay thank you!

I am a week into keto and down pretty well 6lbs! Im still struggling with the right choices and not going over my carbs, I usually only post in Carb Manager but decided to try to add to both and have opened my diary up to friends to either give ideas to others or get support on what I could do differently! Feel free to add…

I agree, I now mostly log using Carb Manager because it DOES count your net carbs for you so you dont have to do the math and adjust yourself. But, it has its flaws to. It doesnt recognize as much stuff via scanning barcode as mfp does.
-
I suppose that makes sense!
-
ahaha good to know!!
-
I have been eating way more than i usually would just because they are so low in carbs. I have been realizing carbs add up WAY quicker than I ever thought possible and have been going a bit over my 20 net g each day but hoping its still low enough to get me into ketosis. I dont have a headache today like i did the last 2…

There is another app i was told to use called Carb Manager and it actually counts your net carbs for you and shows nice graphs of carbs fats and protein and how much you have left to eat if your tracking for a certain percentage

Yes! I had one, then didnt jump on the get fit again band wagon soon enough before getting preg again at 6 months pp with baby #2. Now he is a year old and i have double baby weight and bad decisions to lose aha

I have been trying to do low cal Mon - sat for a few weeks now but havent lost much. I started keto today, or am going to try, I have done my research but am finding it more difficult than i thought. Just unprepared and more carbs in what i brought than i thought. I did join some keto groups but they dont seem very…

You can do this!! I say that with very little results or willpower so far myself, but really do find having "friends" on here to encourage you and ask questions helpful. For me i know that if i dont lose, or complete my log ins, people following me will see that. And they are all completing their daily logs and staying…

Im on a desktop top with all other internet working fine and this week it is still not working. The searching for food is working. Its the add food button that wont work.
-
Totally possible! Though a lot of it might be water weight to. Hard to say. I know people who have more to lose also tend to see larger jumps in the scale quicker at first as well. Definitely keep going but dont get discouraged if you dont see as big of a jump next week or progress stalls eventually!
-
I dont know the answer to this..so im just typing so i get the updates aha I dont drink it daily only on the weekends and its usually more than one or two glasses so I dont bother logging it because i know it puts me over. I would think calories are calories and it will bloat you and if it puts you over in cals by alot…
-
What everyyone else said. I use to do it daily..sometimes still will. Have also taken measurements and every once in a while will re measure to see if anythings changed. Which it hasnt so far aha scale has only gone down 2lbs but I try and weigh in monday a.m to see what damage my not so strick sat or sunday has caused.…

I totally hear you! Im such a junk food/sweets person. MY husband can eat an entire bag of chips infront of me and i dont care to have any. But today in my opinion ive ate bad. I had a choc peanutbutter banana protein smoothing from work which when i plug it in here works out to be like 700 cals!! For a drink! Mind you -…

What was said above! kinda different, but I was having alot of knee pain and hip pain after having my last kid and went to chiro and physio and the physiotherapist said most times knee pain..isnt caused from the knee. She said my..quads (? i think it was) in my legs were super tight. and not giving the range of motion they…
-
I LOVE junk food as well. Even though im counting cals like crazy and trying to get to the gym..i still sometimes cave and have something bad. Sometimes its okay. Sometimes it just makes me want more and get back on a bad path. I need to stop. Im just starting out at the gym and realized I cant go as full out as i want to…
-
No definitely not wanting to eat back the 2000 aha i get thats from everything through the day. It was more towards the "exercise" calories its giving me back. I have gone over and checked out the fitbit page. Its just all so confusing lol Ill figure it out as i go i guess and if im losing or not!
-
I just realized my picture doesnt seem to be posting. So it was of my normal cals given of 1250 + 284 in exercise cals given by fitbit. Fitbit showing cals burnt for the day being 2000.
-
I have a fitbit and have it set at sedentary because I work a desk job and let it count my steps and cals for me whether its just walking about or if I get to the gym and do an actual workout. Its always different what it gives me back in mfp. and usually less for workouts than what I would get putting it in as exercise…

I have hypothyroidism as well, on meds, which i can shamefully admit i forget to take daily. I need to loose a good 30+ pounds. was overweight before getting preg but then had 2 babies in 2 years and gained/kept on another 20lbs. I am trying to do low carb, and get back to doing 16:8, i had a bit of success whenever i did…

I am seriously looking into starting this! I have cut down ALOT of my carbs (asside from over xmas - now back on track) all pasta and white potatoe (might do rice once a week or sweet potatoe every second week) and cut out all the breads and muffins and bagels i use to have for breakfast. I still just dont know if im head…

I to am trying to lose "baby weight".That being said..i was over weight before getting pregnant, but gained 20 more lbs between the two of them. I had 2 in 2 years so i didnt have time to lose the weight in between. Now i got alot of hanging rolls that NEED to go.
-
I was just researching the rules and food guidlines of keto and really want to try it. But im not 100% committed to giving up my sat night/ every second weekend drink/snack night with my hubby. He will follow the diet with me even though he doesnt need to so i dont want to completely deprive him. The thing im most scared…
