HW: 265 lbs Restart Keto Weight: 175 lbs CW: 157 lbs August GW: 152 lbs GW: 130 lbs Scale movement fluctuated so much last week, but the average was in the right direction. Not sure I will hit my August goal, but happy to be moving. Also, I've let my strength training slip some, so maybe that's why there's not as much…

Welcome back! Glad to hear that your trip was good!

@cgcrutch I add protein powder. It's not a whole foods choice, but I have a big jug of collagen peptides that I add to my afternoon snack. I like to keep my calories around 1100-1200, to support weight loss, but want sufficient protein to help all my activities.

Also - make sure you’re looking at net carbs instead of total carbs. High fiber vegetables are good for you for a number of reasons, but that fiber gives them a high number of total grams from carbohydrates. Personally, I avoid high starch vegetables like potatoes and peas, but mostly have vegetables at every meal.

@shallid1 When I first started, I made a list of ‘yes’ foods - foods that I liked that were super low carb that I could eat without really thinking about it. I had stuff like cheese sticks, steak strips, avocado, chicharonnes, taco meant, etc. When I got stressed about eating or planning, I could just grab something from…

8/7 - Did upper and lower body strength training today, but took a break from core due to lower back pain. Didn’t run, but still exceeded my steps goal. 8/8 - PMS is the literal worst. I have kept my IF timing, calories, and macronutrient ratios in check all week and I have gained nearly three pounds back. I’m trying to…

Eggs bites - baked in muffin tins. I’ve used a lot of the Starbucks copycat recipes that you can find online.

I hope you enjoy training for your first marathon! Setting those long term goals is a great way to keep active and make it interesting. Do you have a half marathons picked out to go with your timeline?

Not weighing in on the phytoestrogens bit, but as a scientist I would very strongly recommend reading multiple articles rather than giving something up based on a single article. Also, I would suggest only reading stuff from NCBI (peer reviewed science). I never believe anything that’s not peer reviewed unless it has…

Hello August keto friends! July was a great month for me and I rediscovered my dedication after letting my food habits slowly slide for several years. August brings back to school challenges with my three kids, so I’m trying to get good habits in place now! I’m also a runner and still trying to get my fueling and…

After last year’s stress of a job search, a new job and a cross country move for my family of five, none of my work clothes fit. Ten years ago I lost 120 pounds, and I don’t want to be the person that has them come back.

Welcome! I’ve been doing low carb on and off for about 10 years, but am back on the wagon to lose 30 pounds that I regained. Feel free to add me to your friends list for some accountability!

I just discovered that the Tumaro’s whole grain wraps have only 3-4g net carbs, so I can have taco night again! And quesadillas. And maybe a chimichanga. Oh, and chicharron nachos are totally a lovely, high fat thing.

I tried those when my Costco had them! I messed up half of them in the microwave, but I hope that you have better luck than I do. Red pepper are one of my favorite bread subs for sandwiches. Roast beef and cheddar on red pepper is really good.

During the school year, I get up at 5:30 so I have time to jog, strength train, make lunches, and start dinner (thawing whatever is planned, or starting something in the slow cooker). Because, honestly, if I don’t do it in the morning, I will totally punk out after work. I work more than full time and have three kids, so I…

Oh, I hope Quad Cities is fun! I have a bunch of friends who are running it, because I’m part of the 50 States Half Marathon club and our meet up is in Quad Cities this year!

Welcome! Like you, I used to use MFP a bunch and just came back to it. I have been much more active in my late thirties, but 30 pounds managed to sneak back on. With MFP, I’ve been on keto and intermittent fasting and am finally starting to see some of the weight loss. The community aspect of MFP is great and has really…

Hey all! Like many of you, I don’t often exercise at the gym. I’m a runner - generally two marathons and a handful of half marathons every year. I use free weights st home and am hoping to find a weight lifting app that I like. And, I’m a biology professor, so I work long hours during the academic year but often get more…

Running is the best! Check out Jeff Galloway’s Run/walk training. It’s a great way to get back into running and slowly increase your distance.
