  • I'm very close to entering maintenance after spending the last few months losing 30 lbs. I'm also scared of regaining weight when I up my calories. It's a lack of faith in my will power that makes me nervous about possibly falling back on old eating habits. But I like the advice about upping my calories slowly until I find…
  • So MFP's suggestion for this problem is to force stop the app or pay for the premium version. Not cool MFP. :/
  • I've lost 27 lbs in the past 3.5 months doing Keto with regular exercise. It's a tough lifestyle to adapt to, especially in social situations when opportunities to cheat are more abundant. I rarely hit my macros, but my progress hasn't stalled yet. My best tip is to drink plenty of water daily. It really helps curb the…
  • It's definitely benefited me after failing at so many other diets. Lost 27 lbs in 3 months so far and am only 8 lbs shy of my college weight. Plus, there's the benefit of having joint pains and muscle aches disappear as a result of being sugar free. I don't cook so my progress has been through regular excercise and eating…
  • NPR has some great podcasts. I also like the How Did This Get Made podcast all about dissecting bad movies, as well as Kevin Smith's Hollywood Babble On.

The only tough part is eating out socially and finding appropriate meals while having to explain my odd eating habits to people that have never heard of keto. I also…
  • I've also seen my joint pains and muscle aches subside after doing keto for the past few months. I read that sugar causes inflamation, and after being sugar free for months now, I feel like I did in my 20s again.
  • I just discovered this online community this week even though I've been using the MFP app to track my food intake and progress for a few months. I've been wondering about some of the post topics and all the "add me" requests and whether any of it really makes a difference in our individual health goals. This thread has…
  • Dallas.
  • My gym treadmill shows I'm burning fewer calories after losing 22 lbs even though I'm jogging for the same amount of time. I thought I would burn more calories thorough exercise and not less as I got more fit. :/
  • Lost 20 lbs in 3 months with 15 to go. Been doing the Keto diet along with regular exercise. Some ups and downs along the way but MFP has been invaluable in keeping me focused. Good luck!
