Yup, sorry for the inaccurate language. I do hot power yoga at a hot studio that's not affiliated with Bikram. and ultimately, y'all are right. Experiment and track. For now, I'm typically trying to not eat back my activity calories, so we'll see where this lands me.

Thank you! Are you going to stick to the same foods?

Hi there! My weight is a lifelong struggle, but I wasn't diagnosed until 2013, when I weighed almost 300 pounds. Currently, I'm in the 210s and trying to get lower. My PCOS symptoms are minimal, thankfully. :) I'm doing a combination of calorie restriction, low-carb, and hot yoga classes 4-5 times a week. My food diary is…

I agree that it's completely individual and you have to experiment. I've been trying for 20 and failing slightly (21-24 is typical for me). I need to kick it lower though, because my ketone strips reveal I've only got trace ketones.

I buy Lilly's coconut chocolate. It's stevia sweetened and coconut is really high in fiber, so it comes out to around 170 calories and 4 net grams of carb per serving, which is 1/2 bar.

Back when I lived in Nashville, I went to see a Nurse Practitioner who specialized in weight loss. T. Taylor Mincey in Hendersonville for anyone local to Nashville - highly recommend! She's personally kept off 80 pounds for over a decade, so she really "gets it." Mincey helped me get my first 66 pounds off. Anyway, in the…

Today's NSV: I'm much more effective at pushups! And my yoga teacher complimented me on my extension in three-legged downward dog. :)

Bad breath is very normal. It gets worse if you get into deep or moderately deep ketosis :( A metallic taste in your mouth is also a common symptom. Good luck -- thank goodness for sugar-free gum, right?

I think I'm in the minority here -- but I'm also only about 1/2 done with my weight loss journey. So far, I've gone from 286 to 219. Boobs went from 40C to 36D. We'll see where my last 50 pounds make me land...I suspect I'll probably be at about a 32B or 32C when I hit my goal BMI of 23 or 24. Possibly important: I…

My plan is to stay pretty low-carb -- maybe top out at 30-40 net grams? The main component of my meal will be turkey and brussels sprouts. I will eat a little bit of a dessert I'm making myself - it's a sugar-free apple pie. I'll be tossing the apple slices for the filling in almond powder. Crust is just walnuts, dried…

This this this. Buying a scale is my #1 recommendation to anyone who's tracking but not losing. I think mine cost less than $10 at Walmart!

I'm also a low-carber, doing a combo of keto and warrior diet (intermittent fasting). I'd love some low carb buds! I have PCOS, but I've already lost about 66+ pounds and my PCOS symptoms are basically under control. I've never had success losing weight with any method but low carb.

I'm new to MFP, but more than halfway through a big (120 pound) weight loss journey! Would love to find some accountability partners here! Add me :)
