I’ve only been doing Keto for 15 days but a big difference for me is that I no longer plan my meals based on calories (e.g., what’s the most food I can get for 200 calories) versus just logging my food based on what I eat. Because of the satiety factor of the higher fats, my calories so far have been in line. And though it…

I fell for the “health coach” bit. And I was always taken aback when, at the end of our chats, I would be asked about which foods I was going to order. What?!?! Your’re not solely concerned with my health?!?! And in the beginning the plan gives you between 800-1100 calories. Silly me, I didn’t research it beforehand, but I…

OP, I feel the same way. I know I can no longer eat whatever I want, whenever I want it. I do miss the days when I didn’t think about my eating; of course my weight and my health suffered due to that. I know I can still have whatever I want, as long as I plan for it. The outcome is worth the planning and moderation. And…

I didn’t think there was any food in which I couldn’t control my eating. But this weekend we bought a family size spicy feta cheese and I surprised myself when I couldn’t stop eating it. Though I did log it, didn’t use unnecessary (for me) pita bread (just straight dip works for me), and I did throw away the 1/4 inch…

Same here! I look at my weight throughout the years on MFP and I am astonished how much I yo yo. But this time I’m positively going to keep it off!

That’s fantastic! I’ve had diabetes for the past 5 years and during that time I’ve lost and gained 30 pounds, with my blood sugar correlating to my weight. I tried to control my weight/diabetes by eating the same things, but limiting the quantity or finding a lower calorie/lower sugar substitute. But this weekend I had a…

I am having this same problem and started to get a little worried; it's been about 3 weeks now. Then I remembered I started getting dizzy right after I refilled my blood pressure medicine, and the pharmacy had changed owners. I've been taking blood pressure medicine for 35 years and never had an issue with it. But today I…

I know I need to lose weight, a lot of weight. I balked going to the doctor because I didn't want to be lectured and I didn't want to be weighed (the ostrich mentality.). When I finally went, I told the doctor I hated getting weighed and he said I could just decline. I didn't know I could do that! It was a fabulous…

Yesterday I made the same spreadsheet too, using 13 weeks of data. I'm fascinated by the data, and so far it did prove that my food logging and Fitbit calories used are fairly accurate. My actual weight loss was about the same as my "should be" weight loss. But right now I'm set to lose at 1.5 pounds per week, or a deficit…

I used WW off and on for the past 20 years. I went to meetings, used on-line only, went solo, went with friends, tried at-work, and nothing stuck. I don't even want to think about how much of my money WW has. Can you say second home? (That's an exaggeration.) But I was swayed by the proclamations that using WW was the best…

When I hit 20 lbs lost I'm going to buy myself something frivolous but something I've wanted for a while-a t-shirt with Eisenhower and Tina Turner on the front: it's an Ike and Tina Turner shirt.

I'm so close, but I really don't want to crow about it to anyone except for people on the MFP boards. But it's so nice to know there are people out there who really understand the significance. Congrats to hitting onederland!
