The less you have to lose the longer it takes. Whoever told me you could lose a pound a week is full of it. Maybe if I starve myself.

Ok, I was more just interested because I am not losing much scale weight, but consistently losing inches.

Ok, I have a caliper and that doesn't seem accurate either, or I just can't get decent measurements....

So, in 8 weeks of working out 5-6 times per week, 30 min a day to p90x3, eating at a deficit - I only lost 3lbs, but I lost an inch off my hips and chest, 2 inches off waist and .5 inch off each thigh. Do you think I gained some muscle?

Thanks everyone. I am realizing how important it is to take pictures of your progress. Especially when you don't see much movement on the scale. :)

Thank you!

Thank you all. For those that want to know - Shakeology contains chicory root fiber, which in some people causes gas, bloating or "gastrointestinal discomfort". I had the same issue when I tried taking gummy fiber supplements which are also chicory root fiber. I'm really not that upset, I'm saving over $100 a month by…

Thank you, those all sound great! I would have never thought to try cottage cheese!

How long did it take you all to get into ketosis? Right now I'm at about 50-60 total carbs, or 25-30 net carbs. But I'm only on my 2nd day....

@mmultanen OMG I forgot about that movie lol. Seriously though, I downloaded this yoga app and it's pretty cool. I work from home so I do it on my breaks/lunch right in my office. And wow I have learned how not flexible I am. Hopefully that will change!

Thanks! I have done low carb in the past and it really helped me after I had my first child. Recently I have just gotten down the path of too much snacking, chips, popcorn, cookies, ice cream - all those things my husband and kids love. I think we all have the ideal weight that we feel most comfortable in, whether or not…

Hi, I am 38 with 2 young kiddos. I am looking to lose 10 lbs by summer. Started low carb diet and yoga this week. Please add me!

Hi! I just started low carb again this week. I also started doing yoga at home. 38yr working Mom, with about 10-15 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me!

I use the Slim Fast High Protein shakes, and I love them. You can get them at walmart, a 4 pack is about $6. Or you can get the powder and mix it with milk. Has about 1/3 of your daily vitamins/supplements that you need too.

I am starting IF today. My eating window will be 11am-7pm. Feel free to add me. :)

I drink these Slim Fast high protein shakes every morning for breakfast. It's low carb, low sugar, and I get 25-30% of my daily nutrients. It fills me up until lunch and only 180 calories. If you don't have time for a high quality meal, it doesn't hurt to replace one meal a day with a shake.

I have the Charge but not the HR. But I do know my HR does get up there during the workout. I used to use a HRM and I would usually burn 150-250 calories in a 30 minute Jillian workout. So when the Fitbit tells me zero active minutes, I find that strange. But I do think the total daily calories I am burning must be pretty…

We quit using taco shells and just make taco salads, use enough romaine and they're plenty filling. Pizza, I prefer to have on a cheat day, like once every few weeks. I would rather do that then try and make a not very appetizing healthy pizza. :smiley:
