Skulking about mfp, ignoring the gnawing perpetual void that tries to sink my life ship.

Start walking, a lot of people have dropped weight just by walking. I walk/jog in place sometimes to get in extra calorie burn. Also I noticed if I don't calorie/carb cycle I hit plateaus a lot. If I haven't lost in 2 weeks I eat maintenance calories for a week then drop it back down and that usually helps. Make sure…

I'm on day 5 of body beast, I previously did 2 rounds of p90x and 2 months of ice cream lifts 5x5s. I'm still about 40-50lbs away from my goal weight. I have beach body on demand so I'll be doing hammer and chisel after I complete this program. I use 5-30lb range of dumbbells so far. Loving it so far! :)

I see the difference. Believe me I understand, I lost 40lbs since last June and haven't even dropped a pant size, it's very discouraging, but we just gotta keep walking this long dusty road until we see that finish line. Don't give up, you're doing great!

Hey there, I've done home workouts since last December. I lost my first 10lbs doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, level 1 and 2 are free on YouTube, I bought level 3 on Amazon instant video for 3$. After that I slacked off a bit but in March I started p90x, finished round 1 and lost around 30lbs, I'm on week 2 of my…

My dowagers hump on my neck is GONE, all thanks to heavy lifting! I'm so happy I can finally wear my hair up without feeling like my neck looks like a hunch back! :D

I've only lost 36lbs, still have 50 to lose but so far my clothes fit better, looser, that horrible kangaroo pouch is shrinking and I don't have to move it to shave lol, cellulite has decreased, I can walk/jog up steep hills without losing my breath, I can do squats without my knees crunching as badly. Just so many things…

I get this too, especially when I decline certain foods and such at family's house, I get comments like 'sounds like your life sucks, well enjoy your diet thing I'm gonna keep eating my pudding' my mother-in-law thinks I'm starving her son because he's actually getting in shape and losing his belly so she's always…

Trailer park boys and Penny dreadful

I'm interested! I suffer from body dismorphia, I could use some encouragement as no matter how much weight I lose can't see it. It's very disheartening.

Update: I just want to thank everyone for your input, after reading all your replies plus independent research my husband decided to jump on the keto band wagon, we bought glucose tabs just in case but it's been 5 days since he stopped eating over 30 net carbs a day and he hasn't had a single sign of his hypoglycemia. He's…

I started cramping up bad during workouts, I'd have to stop and relax my calves, then after workouts I'd get horrible body anxiety, so bad I felt like my insides were shaking. Anyways after some googling I decided to buckle down and get some magnesium, I take the one mixed with zinc, as well as a potassium supplement. It's…

I have zero appetite, I have to force myself to eat. At first I liked it but I'm on day 18 and having dreams of eating banana and fruit salads :/ it's hard. Can't offer much advice I'm afraid.

I use net as I feel total carbs limits vegies too much

This happened to me too, I upped my electrolytes/sodium and drink about 210oz of water if not more a day and it helped clear it up, for awhile I couldn't see out of my glasses as well and light bothers my eyes like crazy making me blinder longer than before keto. Try dimming your computer brightness and stay hydrated.…

I started out at 1300, but about 13 days ago I switched to the keto diet so I'm at 1500 calories a day. Don't give up, it's worth it, even if your results ate slow just seeing how much stronger you get and how different you feel is worth so much more than just how you look :)

Great job! :3

I have this exact same 'gift' it scares the hell out of my husband. He thinks I'm a psychic vampire Lmfao.

Oklahoma :/

Hey there! I'm here in muggy Oklahoma as well! :)

Hey there! Good luck to you as well, have a great and healthy day! :3

Keep pushing, you'll get there, hope you are well and remain feeling better!

I've lost how much cheese an American eats per year. Dang!

I've been doing keto 8 days, I've lost 4lbs, probably water weight but I feel better today than I have all week! Why? Because I soaked my cramping legs in an epsom salt bath, drank two glasses of warm water mixed with 1/4tsp per glass of NoSalt, and got a good night's rest. I think adding the potassium enriched salt is the…

A good method to determining what's good or bad is by eating whole foods, not processed garbage. I know being on disability is hard on income, I'm unemployed right now, my husband makes just enough to pay bills and we have to rely on food stamps which isn't a lot. But snacks, crackers, carb enriched processed foods are…

Be like the French and take little bites/samples of everything. That way you tasted it all, and got full without binging. Might work!

I check everyday, just because it drives me insane not to. I tell myself to only do it on Fridays but no, can't stop the urge to hop on the scale. I also step on and off of it 5 times to make sure it's accurate. Smh I wouldn't do that if I were you lol

I actually enjoy it, I use to hate calorie counting until I found this app, I find it fun and idk about you but I've suffered a lot as well, it's felt like my life's been out of control and in the past, I used eating disorders to get 'control' over my weight, sure weight loss came faster but once I starred eating again,…

Keep avoiding the cake in the fridge (I don't even fancy cake, but my brain is going nuts lately). Do my workout. Try and be positive all day (I'm usually pretty moody). :p
