I’m doing Atkins. My percentage goals are 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbs. I keep my net carbs at 18-22. I try to keep my protein right around 60g. You don’t want to eat high protein or your body will use the protein instead of the fat for energy. I’m 5’5” and 190 lbs. I’ve lost almost 30lbs.

I don’t know how to add people. I’m in a similar boat with health issues stacked against me making weightloss very hard. It’s hard! But you can do it. I’m down a little more than 20lbs and it’s still creeping off very slowly. I’m not able to dance around or lift heavy or workout because of a pretty significant back injury…

I have chronic back issues including sciatica. I can’t even do yoga! I have found the some Pilates poses are great because they stretch everything out. I hope you get to feeling better. I know back and hip pain is awful.

I’ve been heavy for a while now. Recently, I considered surgery because of health problems I am having. However my Dr recommended that I wait until I get back home to do the surgery. (I live abroad) My Dr also handed me a script for a bunch of pain Meds and referred me to pain management. I decided against having surgery…

I would also like to join. I will have days when I take very few steps and days I can take many. Just depends on my level of pain. I hope to lose weight and to strengthen my back to reduce the pain because I hate taking pills every day! Ironically, the Pokemon game that my son plays has me moving much more than usual as I…

This is my goal right here. To lose weight walking so that I can do more. I want to use weights and build more muscle but I need to lose a bit and work on muscles in my hips and back before i can start lifting weights. Taking Drs advice strictly for now as I don't need to be in any more pain. :)

BABetter1... This MFP app is where I figured the 1700 calories. But I'm the same height and weight as you and it's difficult for me to eat that many calories without forcing myself to add more. Maybe I'll try to reduce my calories to around 1500 also. I guess I did get a little worked up but it took a lot for me to ask for…

Thank you for being so positive. If you have to start your comment with "no offense"then your comment is not constructive. I asked for help not insults and yes I've done plenty of research in fact I've seen 2 dietitians and God only knows how many Drs I've seen. Due to medical issues, this is my last resort before a…

Perhaps. I'll see when I start weighing.

Thank you all for the responses! I am going low carb for medical reasons. It was recommended by my dr. I have been fighting with my weight since I was very young and I eat healthy. I understand the CICO is a necessity. On this app it says I should eat around 1700 calories to lose 1 pound per week. It's rare that I eat that…
