Well I am super happy your recovery was fast and successful! Low cal maintenance is very difficult when we are completely sedentary (especially when normally we are very active day-to-day) Congrats on your recovery B)

I started last year with lower calories, I lost about 15 lbs at first but then became stuck around 160-165. I started lifting weights instead of just doing cardio in October, didn't lose anything but gained a lot of strength and felt better. For some reason I decided to do no sugar after Thanksgiving, which then turned…

I also do intermittent fasting! It just seems to make sense for me, I have never been able to snack through the day, it just makes me even more hungry and its really hard to keep track of when trying to log your foods. Thanks for writing all of this out, you got a lot of great info in there! My keto decision was also…

Keep it up! I added you as a friend, I don't always post stuff but I love checking out diaries and being supportive :) I know that the first week of keto was the hardest adjustment period I had, but after that everything just falls into place. You are encouraged to stay on keto because it really does make your bad cravings…

Congrats! I love hearing success stories!

Just came across this old post. Wanted to give an update. I have battled with dropping 20lbs here and there after my surgery, always to gain it back. This year will be 3 years since the surgery, and I have maintained a steady weight loss (I'm down 30lbs total) and I am hitting the gym 2-4 times a week with full body…

Checking in with everyone, how has it been going? I personally have had a few cheat days around christmas, new years, but I have stayed strong! Keto has helped me drop 20 pounds in about 3 months. It is an eating plan that really works for me and I'm glad I found it. I did get a routine checkup at the Dr. and my…

stalking mfp instead of doing work >.>

Hey Sara, I was searching through the community on firefighting posts just to get some inspiration from other female volunteers, how have you been doing? Is this app helping you?

Hey, I noticed you posted this almost a year ago, are you still working towards your strength and stamina? I hope you haven't given up!

How has your training been going? I have a few friends that have done wildland firefighting, it's a rewarding job and definitely keeps you in shape. Hope you are reaching your goals :)

oh oh oh I'm not a dispatcher but I have friends that are, can I come in?

Day 5 almost done, today and yesterday I'm getting mild headaches but nothing too bad. I feel great other than that :) I weigh in tomorrow, I'll be excited to see if I'm down!

I just started Keto too, today will be my third day. I feel like I finally found a diet plan that feels perfect for me! I naturally crave high fat foods and salt, I never worry about my sodium intake because I balance it pretty good with potassium and I have really really low blood pressure anyway. I have heard amazing…

Go to a Subway, they usually give out free cookies on tax day :smiley:

I take vitamins A, B complex, C, D + calcium, E, Selenium, Collagen, and Iron. Sometimes I'll take tumeric and garlic/cayenne supplements. Until recently I was logging all of them, but decided that I should try to focus my attention on the amounts I'm getting with diet. What does everyone else do? Should I incorporate any…

Congrats Rabbitjb! Hmmm, During my physical therapy today and started to feel like I was making progress, finally!

or they just really love Chipotle burritos and live too far away, so they stock up for the next couple days... *looks away nervously*

Cheesy anything = Yum! Rice cakes

Krizzo87 - number 9, love the hair, eyes, and makeup! Kace_kay - the mustache! Classy ;) burning2much - I'm a sucker for suspenders! Ha!

Yum :) Pickle and mayo sandwich on white bread...?

This is good advice for me, I'm pretty horrible at accepting compliments. I also have a hard time noticing weight loss/ gain in other people until it is very very noticeable. And I also don't like people complimenting me on my weight, it seems like every time I get to the point where I am doing great and looking "better"…

This is Way Clever, Gold star for you!

I'm impressed you weigh your food when you eat out somewhere, it's always such a challenge! I don't know if I could ever do that, but it gave me an idea. I could put half of it in a box to go as soon as I get it, take it home and weigh it, and then I'll have a better idea of how much I had...

Voodoo doughnuts, anyone??

Love this!!!!

This is a great post, thanks OP!

I would go to the website http://www.doyogawithme.com there are many different ones, you can do some further research to find some great poses/stretches :)

Wow! Thats an awesome achievement! Way to go, and keep it up!
