69.6! Would love to get there by the new year. Lost ten pounds in May so you never know!

I'm 29, F, 5'9" and I've lost 6.5 of the 80-100 pounds I have to lose. Started a low-carb style diet about a week and a half ago and it's something that's finally worked for me! Very exciting. Anyway, I'm here for the long haul and would love some more pals along on this journey. I love to support and be supported!

Oh man, our stats are pretty close!! Today's my third day full keto and I'm loving it! Add me :) 5'9"/F/29. SW:280 CW:278 GW:199 EDIT: Tried to add you but it's not letting me for some reason. Never had an issue before

Cool opinion.

If this thread is really upsetting to people I can try to figure out how to take it down. I was just curious to hear from people who had a different experience than I did and were actually able to keep the weight off. That article hit at one of my fears, which is that this is going to be an uphill battle for the rest of my…

I'm curious if this study applies to a person who has actively lost a lot of weight on their own, whether their ability to maintain a 50 - 100 pound loss is hindered by a metabolism that's been lowered significantly for the purpose of losing weight. I know the idea of a "second fat" and a "third fat" etc is pretty common…

Thanks for this. I guess that's what I hadn't realized. I assumed my gained weight had always been a result of really overeating, so once I lost the weight I thought it would be enough to what I thought of in my mind as "eat like a normal person." Which doesn't mean restaurant servings but doesn't mean counting and…

Oh, I looked but didn't see anything. My bad. Definitely seemed relevant!

Thanks for this! Just got a scale today too. This sounds so much easier than what I was planning to do

I'm in! 25 is agressive but I'm feeling agressive! SW: 278 GW: 253

Weirdly good, trust me

Pretzels and peanut butter ftw

No, don't worry! I'm grateful for both the advice and the insight. This has been pretty disruptive to my day-to-day life :/ My usual go-to before bed is reading but I find it's hard to focus when I'm experiencing this. I'd say it's been going on for about the past week or so? The thing is it's not like I feel this way when…

Ha, that last sentence is exactly how I feel!! I did have some anxiety issues on a medication I took a few years ago but that's all, and I have a family member who's diagnosed as bipolar. Is eating less or eating less carbs something that can trigger issues with bipolar disorder? Thanks for this.

I'm averaging about 1200 - 1400 calories a day and my sedentary BMR is about 1800. It's definitely less than I'm used to eating so my hope's been that my body's just adjusting. I'm eating a lot more vegetables than usual, but nothing I don't usually eat. I tend to eat a lot of the same things all the time because I'm lazy…

Thanks for this info! I'll definitely ask my gp to test for it.

?

No, I haven't. And I should add that this happened to me in the past when I've tried to eat clean. It's like my body goes haywire.

Just one cup of coffee first thing in the morning but that's not new.

I've been having this issue too! Just these last couple of days. I really want to get back to my workout schedule. Is the general consensus that it's bad to workout with PF? Should I wait until all pain has cleared up?

Hi! My ultimate goal is to lose 75 pounds, but right now I'm focused on the first 40. Ideally I would like to lose 40 by my 30th birthday at the end of July. I'm down 2.5 pounds so far so I still have a long way to go and it's definitely not an easy process for me, but I'm learning! Feel free to add me! That goes for…

Struggling with this exact same issue. Thanks for posting.

Yes! Let's do it. 4+ months is a good amount of time. My 30th (eek) birthday is in July so I want to make significant progress by then too! Adding you :)

Yay! This is great. Thanks everyone. Can't wait to motivate each other and watch you all reach your goals :)

Adding you! Thanks :) Let's do this!!

Adding you both! Ani2bfit - This isn't my first time at this either but I'm very determined this time. We can do it!

Awesome! Added you both :)

I made a mistake! Yesterday was my day 9, today is my day ten. Woo! Ten straight days! 35 mins // 360cals

Thanks for the advice and info everyone! It seems like it really is different for everyone. I'm just going to avoid the scale for now and stay focused on making good choices.

Day 10! 30 minutes of incline interval on the treadmill. 300 calories burned
