@christinecameron901 Congratulations!! :smiley: There are probably many websites and YouTube channels with recommendations on how to eat after cancer. Maybe you should consult a nutritionist who can personalize a diet for you based on what you like, and what your body needs right now? I personally just started Keto, but I…

@amymoreorless I had the same issue after losing 86 lbs. I started yoyoing non-stop. You may want to look into the Keto diet for those last lbs. I started mine on 6/2/2017, and by 6/7/2017, I was down 12.4 lbs! :smiley: I am going to weigh myself again tomorrow. I can hardly wait to see those numbers drop on the scale!…

@julier1991 Hi there! :smile: 56 years young, 57 on the 13th, female here. I got into a slump after losing 86 lbs. You know the routine, gaining some back, losing some of what you gained, gaining that back, and on and on it goes! LOL :smiley: I decided to start Keto on 6/2/2017, and by 6/7/2017, I was down 12.4 lbs.…

@allenic10 Way to go, girl! :smiley: Keep up the awesome work! :wink: Michelle

@CharlieBeansmomTracey I thought so! :smiley: Especially when I went to that website. It was very interesting, BTW. Thanks again! I learned quite a bit. :smile: I am so glad to hear that you have your medical condition under control. :smiley: You should think about making YouTube videos. I'm sure a lot of people would…

@CharlieBeansmomTracey :smiley: Thank you so much for the helpful information and the link! You sound like you are in the medical profession. Are you, or are you just that well informed? Sorry to hear about your medical condition. I hope you have that under control, as much as you possibly can. I am not familiar with that…

@fatblatta :smiley: Thank you the encouragement, and thank you so much for the link! :smiley: Have an awesome, fat burning day! :wink: Michelle

@jeaniedev, @JohnnyLowCarb, @sumkay02, @mca90guitar, @TeraMB :smiley: I just realized that I was putting your names in wrong for my responses to you (Oops!), so I wanted to make sure you know I answered you! :wink: Take Care! :smiley: Michelle

@CharlieBeansmomTracey :smiley: Hmmm?That's what I have read on a number of sites and seen on the videos I have watched on YouTube. Do you have a link to the website(s) you are getting this info from? I don't want to be giving people the wrong info. I am just so excited with the results, that I want to share that success…

@mtague7733 :smiley: I am using Keto sticks too, and I am definitely in Ketosis right now. Between the second third color from the highest. I have had lots of energy. Of course, I make sure I am well hydrated and drink 2-3 Muscle Milk Lights per day for protein and vitamins on top of what I eat. Maybe that's why you feel a…

Hi Everyone! :smiley: I just discovered a website called Wicked Stuffed filled with Keto recipes. I also recommend Headbanger's Kitchen and TPH Keto Desserts on YouTube. The latter is for all of you who still want your sweets now and then. :wink: Happy Keto-ing!! :smiley: Michelle

@ladipoet :smiley: Thank you! :smiley: will do just that! Hope to see you there! :wink: Michelle

Hi sumkay02! ;) You are so welcome! ;) Thank you for commenting on my post! ;) Great job resisting that pizza! :smiley: No, Keto is not hard at all. In fact, it's been super easy for me to follow. Yes, please check out the videos on the channels I recommended. These are real people with common sense advice. They tell you…

Hi marc7341! :) Just go to Settings, then Privacy Settings. Choose Public for your Food Diary. Hope this helps! ;) Michelle

Hi andyzee69! :) I too sit on my butt 98% of the day. I lost 86 lbs in 7 months sticking to a 1200 calorie diet. I have hip issues, so I did not exercise during those entire 7 months. Of course, I stalled for a while, gaining and losing the same 15 lbs over and over. Very frustrating. I was watching YouTube, when I…

Hi Crystalscoops! I have sciatica, and that's exactly what it feels like. I carry a lot of my weight in my hips and stomach, which puts extra pressure on my back. I also sit for very long periods of time at my job, which also contributes to sciatica. I would suggest going to your doctor to get diagnosed. They can refer you…

Hi Jessicaturner58! You are very welcome! ;) grmrsan has some great advice! Trail mix or nuts would provide a lot of protein and the good fats your body needs to function. :) Best of luck to you! :smiley: Michelle

Hi beckylynn03! I had that same yoyoing after losing 86 lbs. I just keep gaining, and losing the little that I'd gained again and again, making no progress whatsoever. Very frustrating. After watching some very inspiring videos on YouTube, I started the Keto Diet on 6/2/2017. As of 6/7/2017, I have lost 12.4 lbs. Yes, you…

I drink Muscle Milk Light 2 to 4 times a day. It's not a replacement for food, just a supplement, but at least you'd be getting your protein and vitamins. That would improve your energy level, as well as your anemia. I drink them because I am not a meat eater, so I have run into the same issues as you. Hope this helps! ;)…

The point of working out is to create a bigger calorie deficet. If you eat those additional calories, you are essentially working out for nothing. :neutral:

Hi Nifty50fitandlean! I can totally relate. I'm 56, 57 on June 13th, and after losing 89 lbs, the girls are starting to look like two empty wine bags! LOL :smiley: Thank goodness for my underwire pushup bra! ;)

Hi LanaMua! Try the Keto diet. Check out Butter Bob Briggs, Goody Beats, and Keto Connect on YouTube. This is what motivated me, and I have lost 12.4 lbs in 5 days! That's right, only 5 days. Just what I needed to jumpstart my weightloss! :) Feel free to message me if you have any questions. ;)

UPDATE: As of 6/7/2017 I have lost an additional 5.8 pounds!! :smiley: Awesomeness!!!! That is a total weightloss of 12.4 pounds in 5 days (6/2/2017 - 6/7/2017)!! :smiley:

Hi brookielaw! : ) I can relate to the boob situation. I went down from a 48D to a 42B, and they are starting to look like two empty wine bags! LOL :D Thank goodness for pushup bras! ;)

I was a US size 24W-26W, sometimes 26W-28W when I started. I am now down to a 16W. Hopefully, my new Keto diet regimen will get me down to a size 8-10 this year! ;)

Hello Everyone! : ) You can also get a lot of great recipes on youtube. I like KetoConnect. They have a bread, pizza dough, and brownie recipe that is totally Keto friendly. I haven't tried them yet, but I plan to. ; )

Hi mca90guitar! : ) Thanks for your post. You'd be surprised at the variety of food you can eat on a low carb diet. Eggs, cheese, some vegetables, meat, fish, heavy whipping cream, and butter are just a few examples. I am not starving. In fact, I am very full by the end of the day. Check out Butter Bob Briggs and Goody…

Hi JohnnyLowCarb! : ) Thank you for your input. You are quite right. You cannot go crazy when it comes to fats and calories. I was eating a 1200 calorie diet before I started Keto, so I am really aware of what and how much I can eat without going over that number. People new to Keto should go on the web to find a Keto…

Hi TeraMB! : ) Thank you so much for commenting on my post. Basically, the Keto Diet is about consuming low carbs and high quality fats. There are a lot of Keto websites, but I like Butter Bob Briggs and GoodyBeats on youtube. The idea is to deprive your body of carbs so it will start to use stored fat for your energy…

PS: The usual recommendation is between 15 to 30 net carbs per day, which is your total carbs minus your total fiber.
