I guess I need to go somewhere or buy something so I know how much body fat I have! Cause i dont know how much is fat lol! Thanks for all the advice so far! I dont know what maintenance calories are so I found it most helpful that someone gave me some general numbers! I've only been doing this diet and fitness thing for…

My heart is with you both! I occasionally work on the cancer unit at my hospital. It's an entire different atmosphere.

I think I'll stick to my prenatal (maybe switch to multivitamin) and D vitamin. I use to take fish oil. I should do that too probably cause I also don't like seafood. I'll eat canned tuna every now. Sometimes I go weeks between eating cans of tuna so fish oil would probably be good for me!

Try living in Oregon. It's something most of us go through. And when I take vitamin D during the winter my quality of life is better.

Thanks guys I wasn't sure! I know I need Vitamin D because of battling depression in the winter. I'll probably switch to a multi vitamin instead of pre natal.

I don't know a lot about keto, other than the fact that it's high fat. I wasn't sure if I just set my protein goal, or if there is a certain number I want to meet? I'm interested in keto mostly cause my sister has switched from low carb to keto and loves it. I thought maybe it would help me lose the last few pounds I'm…

Well I can look at my log and see. But I suppose I should have worded it better. If I'm getting into muscle building do I need to take more vitamins of a certain kind? Or do I take the same amount of vitamins whether i am working out hard or barely working out?

No not worries about calories. And I know how to scan them. Lol I was just wondering if others log them to keep track of their vitamin intake.

All these progress photos are so motivating :) I'll take some new ones today!

I thought about logging then, so I could see where I'm lacking in vitamins. I take pre natal even though I'm not pregnant. I just don't know where to start with vitamins!

SW: 133.1 GW#1: 125 (hit it) GW#2: 120 (hit it) CW: 116.5 GW#3: 115 Then I want to build muscle and tone.

Totally get what you guys are saying. And I agree. Like I said in my original post. Organs and bones are positioned a certain way for a reason. What I'm talking about more is he stretchy "corset like" trainers. Not actual corsets with steel bowing and stuff. Those should be used for costumes and sexy time haha. I have just…

I love all these photos! What's everyone biggest motivator and also hardest hurdle?

That struggle is all to real! Sometimes I find myself forcing myself to eat cause I have no appetite. Yet as soon as I close my diary my taste buds go on a party!

To nap or not to nap!

I love that when I'm on a date with an older man they USUALLY don't try to jump my bones. They are probably thinking it, but usually they don't act on it like guys my age. Sorry but just cause I ordered a steak doesn't mean I want your meat too dude lol lol lol. They also challenge me more. Challenge me to be productive…

You are all so helpful! Thank you! I'm gonna go try it now!

Seriously though. Anyone know how to look up groups? I have no idea! I really want to joint the Low Carb Diet group that I was sent a link for. I tried to join but says I must be approved. How can I check if I've been approved? The app doesn't always update me on stuff.

Now that's the way to word it! :) They do have a good supply of vitamins in them :)

For example about my hypoglycemia: Doctor said to way cheeses, meets, and nuts. Not crackers, potatoes, pasta and brownies. Maybe saying healthy carbs vs unhealthy carbs would be better than saying food vs bad? And honestly even if the doctor didn't saying to eat those things I still would now that I've been doing it for a…

Thank you! And for the person saying I am demonizing food: A) I posted this asking what net carbs vs carbs means on packages. From the answer I had I classified fiber carbs as good and starchy carbs like potatoes or pasta as bad. That's NOT demonizing. That's simply stating that from what I've gathered, one gives you…

[quote{What's with this good carb, bad carb thing? Demonizing food isn't a good idea. Nothing wrong with low carb but what's with the arbitrary labels?[/quote] I'm not demonizing food. McDonald's is bad for you. So we say it's bad food. Same thing with carbs. There are bad ones that you don't need and then ones like fiber…

I true to be under 75 carbs a day. Bad carbs that is. I would rather eat an Atkins meal in a pinch and get protein and fat rather than eating an apple for just carbs. What's the low carber daily? Is that an app?

Wow you both look amazing!!!

Honestly all I do is work out 3 times a week for 30-40 minutes. One of those work outs will usually include a 10 minute run. And eating low carb high protein! I don't feel like I'm working very hard! But it's working :)

Then I guess it's ok I stayed away from them! Ha

This is really helpful! I feel like I've neglected myself now because I would avoid apples and some other foods because it's high in "carbs". But not all of the carbs in apples are bad cause some are fiber right? I should have asked this a long time ago! I wish MFP wouldn't count fiber as a carb on its nutrient calculator.

For me it's fitting into my jeans again. Not having to go buy new ones! Also my posture is improving :)

I know calories are important. I just meant don't say "don't do low carb, just watch calories". Last time I asked a question so many people responded that way ha
