Thank you, it's obvious now you mention it I didn't think of it. That's why I posted, to get ideas and help others. Your pictures are wonderful but yes I agree it's time for a 2019 picture to add to those above.

There is an active and very helpful "low Carb" mfp group on here. Come join the group. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum I am personally Keto there is a keto group too. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1143-keto You will find that there are a lot of low carb and keto people…

I'm finding the weight comes off equally all over. I have big thighs, they are still big compared to the rest of my body.

A tape measure.

This might help. Under your calories At or over your protein as your body needs it to function, repair etc. At or under your carbs Your fat is really only to stop you from feeling hungry so anywhere up to your limit is ok. If you feel hungry you need to eat more fat, if not you can back off. Think of your body as a…

There are two groups you should join the "keto" group and "low carb" there are a lot of us who will chime in and advise you. But as said above, you are asking in the wrong place.

Also when you losing a lot of weight this quickly you are shedding a lot of water and with the water your body is flushing out things like salt, magnesium and potassium which are essential. If you don't replace these then you can have leg cramps, pains in your calves etc. I agree with others, be smart, slow down, rest your…

That's what I have been doing for over 90 days. the % looks good. Here is what I do and suggest. Plan ahead and fill in your diary food for 4 days. Keep it really basic! Start by putting in all of your protein, juggle the type and amount until you hit or a little over your protein grams. Then put in your carbs up to 5%. If…

As every ones calories are different I find it best to look at it in percentages and the grams will fall into place. What are your carb, fat protein percentages?

The grams amounts are specific to each person but the percentages make it keto. So based on your ratio % your fat is higher than your protein and that could be the problem. I do 5% carbs, 20% protein, 75% fat. You must be under your carbs. All or slightly over your protein, it's your fuel. In the beginning most of your fat…

I have found that cheese impacted my loss, but I have not had the same problem with heavy whipping cream or butter. Where I would have put cheese on a burger I now smooth a tablespoon of guac.

Salt is our friend on Keto.

I started Dec 19, 2018 and have committed to a year of keto and tracking. SW: 202.6 CW: 181.0 GW: 145 I don't have a March goal. Hit or below my calories, follow my macro. measure and weigh. Sunday 03/03: 184.0 Sunday 03/10: 183.6 Sunday 03/17: 181.0 Sunday 03/24: Sunday 03/31:

Jill, go to this link to get your macro. Also there is a keto mfp group so you can ask us direct questions. To change your mfp food settings to keto. 1) go to "my home",then click on "settings", next page click on "diary settings". Then make the drop down have "carbs", "fat", "protein" Salt" then save. 2) go to "my home",…

Come find us on the MFP keto group.

fdhunt1, I take B12 as needed, I can read the signals. I take it in liquid form (per my doctor) so there is a dropper with a line that I follow. I'm not sure of the dose size my guess is it's about a tea spoon, under the tong. If I get the flu or I'm really run down (I work long hours) I have in the past had a shot from my…

I did two things that helped me. 1) Each afternoon I have a cup of chicken soup (hot water, chicken cube and a table spoon of heavy whipping cream) I get in more salt and it feels like a treat. 2) In the evening while I'm watching the tv I soak my feet in a tub/bucket/saucepan of hot water and epsom salts (2 cups).

Hi VG, I have (in the past, not now) experience with what you are describing and directly connected to being low in B12. I couldn't recall the names of things, mid sentence I forgot what I was saying, I would get the names of things wrong (I was thinking "chair" but was told I said "table") it felt like I was in a cloud. I…

Are you going to do Keto? Your post doesn't say.

1) If you have lost 20 lbs it may be time to recheck your macro and calories and make sure you do not need to adjust for your "now" weight. 2) Say this 20 times "Track everything I eat, no excuses! " 3) Take measurements and have a box of your skinny clothes and try them every week. My measurements have gone down and I'm…

I've done some research on this. The 1st time I did keto with IF (16/8 every day) the same thing happened to me, I don't have a lot of hair so it was very distressing. From what I read the body can take 3 months to react to a trauma and I think for me the trauma of suddenly doing keto and IF and losing weight was why. I…

My tastes buds have changed too. Before Keto "very, very mild" was my spicy limit. Now I crave spicy and I'm adding hot sauce to everything.

No cheating.

I love food prepping. 1) it saves money because when I go to the grocery store you only buy what I need. 2) when I am tired and tempted it's easy to reach into the freezer and my dinner is a zap away. 3) it save money because I'm not buying my lunch. 4) my lunches are always better than everyone and they are jealous. 5) I…
