I really like mine. Set up was super easy, and it really helps remind me to move more since I have a desk job. I tried in the beginning to get the data to transfer to MFP, but failed in my first attempt so I just gave up lol. But I am honestly not sure how accurate the calories burned are, because I average over 3,000…

138 medium tops size 10 - dress/pants Seems like I will never get to single digit pants. Curse you wide hips and thunder thighs!

I tried Keto when I had quite a bit of weight to lose. For me, it was a terrible experience. I know it has worked for a lot of people, but I found that my body couldn't handle it. Even when I was in ketosis I was more tired than usual and couldn't even do a 30 minute workout. I never felt that magical Keto energy or "fog…

I have a very similar story as you! I lost about 40lbs in a little over a year. It took me a lot of exercising along with logging my foods to achieve. Then I got a new, less active job, quit going to the gym, and had a major surgery that kind of put a wrench in my healthy goals. The great thing is, since I was use to…

When I started myfitnesspal vs me now. I went from borderline obese to a healthy weight. It took me over a year, but it was worth the hard work! The hardest part is going weeks without feeling or seeing a difference in the scale, but powering through and keeping up with your goals will give you a new found strength!…

Ugh, story of my life!! Make short term goals that are easy for you and opt to make your own chocolate bark or something that is fewer calories Go 6 days without going over your calorie limit, have a portioned sweet treat. Work out for 15 minutes everyday for a week, go out to see a movie. Goals and rewards were helpful to…

I have only been doing IF for about a month. The main reason I started IF was to help keep within my calorie deficit due to the change in my diet to the keto lifestyle. When I ate throughout the day, I struggled to stay within my calorie limit, but once I narrowed the eating window, it became much easier! I do the 16:8 IF…

I have always been an estimator. I have a scale, and I used it a few times just to get an estimate on meat portions, but since then, I haven't touched it (unless a baking recipe requires it). I just don't have the time to weigh everything when I'm cooking, because I enjoy spontaneity. It always annoys me when people…

Entering my meals into MFP ahead of time is the only way I can make sure I am getting enough nutrients on keto. Maybe after more experience I won't have to, but this is a very good suggestion for beginners! Also, I felt like I was the only one who detested avocados! It's the texture, they're just so terrible...haha

I've had this conversation with some of my friends since I have had similar thoughts at times. For me, seeing myself in the mirror everyday, I couldn't see the change taking place and felt discouraged. It's true that "before and after" pictures can be helpful, but I have some "before and after" pics that, to me, seem like…

Hey, I need the same thing! It's a never ending journey. Add me if you'd like:)

Two years of healthy habits and still going!

I struggle a lot with sweets around the holidays so I have a bunch of low calorie low carb recipes that I make for substitutions. Also, Thanksgiving and Christmas day never get logged due to my overwhelming love of mashed potatoes and dumplings lol. I usually try and do some extra cardio prior to a big holiday feast.

Oh me! That's me! 15 by Christmas is my exact goal! Feel free to add me.

This is my second week of keto, and I would love to have some keto buddies for support as well!

Weight loss is so very hard when you don't have any one on the journey with you. When I started eating healthier and trying to lose weight, it felt like everywhere I looked, people were eating snacks and sugary junk food, and I wanted to give up. It takes so much will power and dedication to power through. I'm still…
