honestly I have done it from day one. I do not do it for the times I go walking around so my son can ride his ripstik. I guess aways see what it does. So I think I may still be confused. So it is not necessary to go log cardio into MFP because the fitbit has already trackeed it.. Right? Or is it the other way?

@Sunny_Bunny_ I dont know what water retention feels like. My stomach feels like a balloon that is getting ready to pop. It definitely could be constipation which is ridiculous since I have no gallbladder. I have some stuff I can try to take a little of. I worry because it never kicks in when it says it should. SO I end up…

Oh that sounds like too much of a hassle for me. I start it at the beginning of my warm up cardio and then stop it following my cardio at the end of my workout. I do not stop it everytime I finish something. I like to track calories burned for the entire workout session.

Yes thank you ladies. I did finally find where to go to sync them. This makes things a little easier. I do have a question for you though. So in MFP it does the projected adjustment based on your calories out at the time of the sync. Should I still input the cardio I do in MFP? I definitely do not eat it all back. There…

I need to know how you made this. reeses pieces and white chocolate reeses cups are my fav. I do not eat much chocolate outside of this. Well right now I dont eat those either but I am taunted by the idea.

humm. You know I have found that since going low carb I snack more. But that is because I am trying to increase the amount of fat I eat. If I didnt snack I wouldnt be able to consume enough fat that is required for this diet. Since I have been drinking the protein shake with MCT oil in the morning, I seem to want to snack…

@KnitOrMiss I have been snacking on pepperoni a few times in the past week. mY boyfriend even brought home some deli pepperoni. Last week my son was eating some pepperoni pizza which smelled so good. I ate pepperoni and cheese. I do not normally eat the nuts at home, I just take them to class and to my intership. I do not…

huumm. Now that woud be really cool if I could get it to import my food. I have the fitbit HR so it tracks everything. I just find it too cumbersome to do it in both apps. There are times that I do but not often.

@KnitOrMiss Man all I have had today is a protein shake and a chia tea (bag) with 2 tbsp of HWC and 4 packets of splenda. I am already at 10 grams. See that is the thing. When I first started this diet I wasnt even concuming 10 grams in the entire day. But I was not drinking the protein shake or anything else other than…

I will just have to cut back on the cheese and veggies that I have been trying to eat. This sucks because I just thawed out this really awesome dip that I made some time ago. I typically eat it will some snap peas. I know that my protein shake has 2 grams of carbs but I cant remember off hand what the almond coconut milk…

Something I m doing is preventing me from going back into ketosis. I have bee measuring it everyday. It is barely registering. I realize that it is not what the strips are for. I havent been eating a ton of carbs in the past several days. My carbs have been higher than normal but so has my calorie count. I havent gone near…

thank you everyone..:) my ab area needs some serious help. I try to make sure I have it engaged through my entire workout. I just have that layer of fat that I have yet to get rid of. Maybe then I could get a flatter tummy. My waist has gone down an inch but my hips have stayed the same. I do squats and lounges like a mad…

I havent even eaten dinner yet. I am 500 calories already!!!

@KnitOrMiss Thanks. I was going to email that just too you but I know I am messaging you on a daily basis about all kinds of stuff. I havent entered in my lunch yet (scared to). I ate 2 eggs with onions and greenchili cooked in them then I added like 1 to 1.5 tbsp of cream cheese with like 3 oz of chorizo (very fatty but…

I am really interested in seeing how this plays out for you all. I would never be able to commit to something that involved that much meat eating. I crave veggies so much. So when I finally do treat myself to them I am in heaven. This is going to be really neat. I look forward to hearing about your experiences.. :smiley:

Oh man. i have to log everything. Like others have mentioned I eat a lot of the same kinds of food. I know what 4 oz of fish looks like. I think it keeps me aware of what I am putting in my body. Weighing and logging my food is what has helped me lose almost 17 pounds. If I am looking to try something different I look it…

@tashabirdie Thats the thing I did not drink a lot of caffeine to begin with. I gave up regular coffee drinking like over a year ago because it started making me feel yucky. Now that was hard.. Then I started drinking one ice cold cherry coke in the morning. I never drank the entire can either because as soon as it started…

I did not stick to my diet this week. I was cheating constantly. This is reflected on the scale. It is fluctuating between 138 and 139. I did do some measurements last week. Even though, I have not seen the number on the scale go down, I did lose some inches. :) I will post those later when I am at home. 5'7 SW 139 GW for…

@kirkor I really feel like I have loss control this past week or so. My diet plan has been a hit or miss. WHich I know is not good. I really wish there was someone I was doing this with so there was more motivation to be strict with myself. I know that is lame excuse but sometimes it really does help to have a partner when…

I got the MCT oil yesterday. It was actually the first day in like 3 or 4 days that I was able to really focus and do some school work. Which was good because like I mentioned I need to get to business. I have a very busy week this week.

@kirkor I typically only do like .5 to 1 scoop in a small amount of water. I cant really drink a whole lot before I go because it will make me feel sick while I am at the gym. I wake up feeling a little nauseas in the morning so trying to take in a large amount of anything all at once just does not set well for me. Now…

I went to sprouts this morning to buy the MCT oil. I have put it in my protein shake. Hopefully today will be a better day. I am getting ready now to do my review for one of my midterms. @kirkor Believe it or not I use pre workout before I go to the gym. Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I cant tell you how much I…

I guess I will just have to go to the health food store tomorrow after the gym.

@Christine_72 I take 2 dissovle tabs in the morning too. I do not typically feel this way. It has just been the last few days. Man I feel lifeless. I cant take it. I cant afford to feel this way. I really just want to sleep, but then I am not so tired that sleep is an option. This just sucks. @gayle_moeller the coconut oil…

I need it right now... I havent been able to commit to buying the MCT oil. There is one brand that is sold at the health food store near my house but the bottle is so dang big. I am just now trying to get use to adding the coconut oil to my protein shake in the morning after the gym. I am scared to buy it and then not end…

I am going to give this a try. I am a little hesitant because I feel like the scale doesnt seem to want to move much now. AT least this gives me something to work towards. Good luck everyone. May we al reach our goals. :) 5'7 SW 139 GW for challenge 136 Ultimate goal 130-135 March 1 139

5'7 SW 145 GW for challenge 140 Ultimate goal 130-135 Feb. 1 145 Feb. 8 141 Feb. 15 141.4 Feb. 22 139.9 Feb. 29 139 I am super stocked that I met my goal. Scale doesnt seem to want to move much now though.

@sucampbeN i do not know if my gym has that. What is it?

You know what I have been experiencig this as well. I bought two amazing bras from victoria secrets. They are pretty pricey but totally worth it. I am definitely going to buy a few more. I am a 34 DDD which means its sometimes impossible to find a bra that fits just right. Victoria secrets have so many different styles to…

@KetoGirl83 I had never had artificial sweetners either. When I decided to give up my cherry coke in morning my friend told me to just diet. I thought to myself "hell no". I have absolutely never liked anything diet. Don't get me wrong there has been a few times when I thought I could totally take some cherry coke right…
