I was in your shoes a year ago. I *believed* that I "eat 85% healthy with only the occasional splurge". I worked out, I was active, but I was also 60lbs overweight. What I found was that when I *honestly* tracked the calories in and calories out, it was more like 15% healthy. I was, at best, holding steady but never…

Loss of 51 lbs

Fort Collins, Colorado

Awesome! I am at the same place in my Keto journey and have seen similar results! Keep it up!

Last night I had one episode of the cramping but I did take 4 before bed. I am going to toss the Mag Oxide and look into a different supliment recommended in the link above. After Hockey I drink a large water bottle with 2 Hammer Fizz tablets. That is similar to the zippfizz above but without the caffeine.

I had not read that, good link. I am taking 250 mg of magnesium oxide. I will take 4 tonight and see if that helps. I will read the article again and take the suggestions. My water is the minimum 8 cups but I drink 12-16 per day easy. I have had these problems for the whole time. I was hoping the doc would have an answer…

I am looking for more friends too!

I'm 53 and have lost 48lbs over the past 4 months. Would be happy to encourage you!

Thanks everyone. I am beyond happy. I still have some fat to lose and some muscles to tone so I am continuing with the good habits I have gained on Keto and using MFP!

I started here. http://www.ruled.me/ Note: I have not purchased anything special from this diet. I naturally ate a high fat diet so I mainly had to get rid of the carbs. It is not for everyone, but it worked wonders for me.

Got it! Thanks! So how bad is it if I do not get the 1500 net calories? It cannot be that bad given that people have "fasting" days. Thanks for the input. John

Thanks for the replies. I want to continue to lose weight but I also don't want to starve my body when I am working it hard. I will look to eat more than my 2250 today to make sure I have at lease 1200 calories eaten after all exercise. John

Note that I did not log the results that MFP gave me (1711). I logged the calories my Polar HR monitor gave me (952), which results in 41.39 calories per mile. Thanks for all the comments. Gym today, bike again tomorrow.

Thanks! I used to ride every day and logged thousands of miles over the years. These days I am really trying to mix up my workouts so cycling is 4-6 days a month. I will try for 2 days this week but my monthly averages have been very low. I will join the October cycling challenge (although cycling can be a challenge in…

My bad. It was a quick lookup on here and I was looking at 1 tablespoon thinking I was looking at 1 cup. I can make it fit I my daily plan when I want some.

I did not see low fat in the first post. 1 cup of fresh strawberries is 49 cals, 12g of carbs of which 3g are fiber so 9g net carbs 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries is 22 cals, 6g of carbs of which 4g are fiber so 2g net carbs 1/4 cup of heavy whip cream is 25 cals & 0 carbs Total for the desert is 96 cals and 11g of net carbs…

I am on Keto and have had strawberries and blueberries in heavy cream as a treat on occasion. I did this without going over my 28g daily carb goal.

Hi KetoGenesis2016. Great job on 47 lbs! Fantastic! I accepted your friend request. I was fortunate and did not get the flu. I have been losing weight steadily. The 12 is a guideline right now. I would be at 235 and probably around 20% body fat. Depending on how I like the way I look, I will switch to muscle tone. I have…

I have not read all of the replies but thought I would put my story out there. 8 years ago I went on the South Beach Diet and lost 50+ lbs. I felt great, exercised all of the time and looked great. South Beach is low carb and low fat so I gave up many of the things that I love to eat. Over the next & years, life happened.…
