Oh my. So much woo in a first post! It's quite clear that you haven't read the thread or you wouldn't be saying that there's little understanding of keto here. Maybe go back and read it, because the vast majority of your points were debunked upthread. The only one you're going to get support for is that it works for you…

Plug your numbers into MFP's goals calculator. Eat those calories and use the default macro split for four weeks. Weigh, measure and log everything you put in your mouth. Weigh yourself weekly/daily/not at all (I recommend daily, and use a tracker app). Track your exercise and eat back half. Ask questions on these boards.…

Looks like somebody needs his nap again . . . bye bye shouty boy

Walking and pickleball are just fine, and there must be a lot of online programs that utilize a Total Gym. As for macros -- start with the default here on MFP. Eat the calorie level MFP recommends, use the default macro split, log everything, and try that for four weeks. Then tweak as needed. You don't have to get it…

What everybody above has said. Let MFP do the number-crunching. Eat those calories at the default macro split; weigh, measure and log everything you eat or drink. Weigh yourself daily or weekly or not at all (personally I'd recommend daily, but that's up to you). Just do that for four weeks. Revisit; see if it's going the…

Up at either 5 or 6 am (depending on if husband goes to office or works from home) Bathroom, dress, walk dogs Feed dogs & cats, start coffee Wash up & brush teeth Drink coffee, check MFP, email, read funny pages & news online (Pack lunch & ship husband off if it's an in-office day) Go swimming Come home, walk dogs, shower…

I don't have a problem with them, and I keep a few in the freezer. Amy's Kitchen and Saffron Road, mostly. I do cook from scratch a lot, and I enjoy it, but there are times when I simply don't feel like doing prep work. Add a veg or two and I'm good to go.

Either dedication, a touch of lunacy, or two dogs insisting on going outside RIGHT NOW. Take your pick. ;) Over the past two days, 9.2 miles. Sneaking up on that Encounter with Black Rider -- 6.5 miles to go. According to The Eowyn Challenge, I'm on Day Two (yikes, five days to do what Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin did in…

1% of your current body weight should be about the max you aim to lose in a week. So for you right now, 1% would be 3 lbs a week (2.9 rounded up). That percentage, by the way, applies to just about everyone who wants to lose weight, barring any extreme medical condition. As we lose weight, the amount we can safely lose per…

Well, *I* thought you were Wolverine all along.

I've been using these. I'm about due to replace them with bigger ones. Talk about things they don't tell you about weight loss! https://smile.amazon.com/GWHOLE-Adjuster-Silver-Polishing-Cloth/dp/B01M0OX3EW/ref=sr_1_4?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1520625502&sr=1-4&nodeID=7141123011&psd=1&keywords=ring+size+adjuster

And my short answer would be no, I couldn't.

The calories MFP gives you include your deficit, whatever you set it to be. It doesn't include exercise calories. (That's a LOT of exercise calories from work! What do you do?) Eat all your calories, and some of your exercise calories -- up to about half. Why? 1870 gives you enough to make sure you get all the nutrition…

Welcome to the boards! A little advice from someone who's been there (and is still working on it) -- speed isn't your friend here. We all want the weight off NOW but it doesn't work well like that. It may come off quickly at first, but sooner or later it slows down. Might as well get used to that sooner or later. Figure…

Yesterday: 5.1 miles, with snow & wind. Felt more like the hike over Caradhras, except no avalanche or rock-throwing creatures. 15.6 miles to Encounter with Black Rider.

Unless all you want is to see a particular number on the scale for about an hour, this isn't likely to end well. 1% of your current body weight per week is about the max anyone should aim for, if you want the weight to stay off. 22 lbs. in 4 weeks is way more than that, unless you weigh upwards of 550 lbs. You won't be…

Snow, rain and errands. Drug through the neighborhood on several walks by two excitable dogs; I should probably rename them Merry and Pippin. 5.7 miles today; 20.7 miles to Encounter with Black Rider
-
Yeah, I'm sitting here with a box of Pure Protein and a box of Kirkland -- and the Kirkland will stay right where it is. I'd heard a lot of people say they're good, but the flavor and that Tootsie roll consistency are big put-offs for me. @h1udd : (4) blend with hot milk and see if it makes a drink ... like when you make a…

Is there a reason you want to eat very few carbs? Many people find it keeps them from feeling hungry -- not everyone. And it works for a many people -- again, not everyone. But it works because it helps some people to eat fewer calories than they burn -- and that works for everyone. The trick is to find a way of eating…

I'm new here -- starting today. In honor of the event, I've pulled out my copies of LotR and am beginning to read The Fellowship of the Ring again as well. I haven't read this whole thread yet -- is there anything I should know about, other than posting daily? 5.6 miles today, and 26.4 mi to Encounter with Black Rider!

That "zero heel" gave me a nice case of tendinitis. Took me weeks to get over. They're not for everyone! OP, definitely go to a dedicated runner's store and get fitted -- they should carry walking shoes, too.

Plan ahead. Write up your (planned) meals for the day, either first thing in the morning or even the night before. As malibu927 said, the "remaining" numbers will turn from green to red once you go over your goals, but don't wait until you've already eaten up to the max and find yourself with a dinner to plan and no carbs…

Did MFP make that recommendation? It'll depend on how much weight you have to lose. 1% of your current body weight seems to be optimum for most people (barring any medical reasons otherwise). If MFP recommended 1 lb. per week, then stick with that. Yes, you will have to adjust calories as you lose weight. Run your changed…
-
Eat the calories. You're eating back your exercise calories? Make sure you eat half of them, too. Speed isn't your friend here. You lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks, which is very very fast when you have as little to lose as you do. Weight loss will slow down the closer you get to your goal, and there's no percentage in trying to…

Go to Home > Goals > Daily Nutrition Goals -- Edit > and change your numbers from there. Make sure to click Save (or whatever it says).

Yay you! Sometimes it takes us a while for all the pieces to fall into place. Sounds like you're headed in the right direction. Congratulations!

Stevia smells deliciously like vanilla when my husband puts it in his coffee -- but every version of it or erythritol tastes ineradicably of licorice, and I hate it. Sucralose is my go-to. I've had allulose (in Quest Hero bars) and it tastes fine to me -- no bad digestive effects, either.
-
Oh. Yes. Well. Oops.
-
Yes, eat your 1200 plus half to three-quarters of your exercise calories. MFP gives you a built-in deficit, so going below that will make it harder for you to get basic nutrients for the day. Starvation mode is not a thing. Your body will not “hold onto every last calorie and store it as fat”.

I've taken mine off my wrist, closed the buckle to the smallest diameter, and tied it into my shoelaces (double-knotted so it doesn't come untied).
