Hi there I’m 48 , wanting to be fittest and healthiest I can be by time I’m 50 in December 2021. I’m nearly 8 months in to my journey . I’m 65lb having done keto but now transitioning to carnivore

I am not diabetic but I recommend low cArb. Look up dr Jason fung on you tube. Watch the magic pill on Netflix if you can Carbs are the feeder of diabetes. I lost 65lb in 7 months on low carb high fat ( keto) and I’m now carnivore . No cravings . Weight loss isn’t all about calories in calories out. I eat over 2000 a day .…

Protein helped me. I was keto and eating 1600 calories and fasting . Now carnivore and eating over 2000 calories a day . I want to fix my years of yo-yo dieting .

I lost 65lb in 7 months but I have seen ppl not lose or even gain on keto. I’ve gone carnivore now

That’s a shame as I had great success on keto. Lost 65lb in 7 months. What is it that you struggle with

46yr old female 5ft tall SW 01/08/17-179lb GW 126lb CW 137lb Was so close to my goal weight mid Sept 17 then I just lost motivation and hurt my back a couple of times in last three months.

i don't think its just a case of being short or tall, i'm 5 ft and cam have up to 1700 calories a day. lots of other factors must come into it, age, muscle mass,activity levels. maybe its what you eat,i find lots of protein keeps hunger at bay . depends on what your goal is too... lose weight or maintenance

ive been doing the keto diet and i have to say its stopped my sugar cravings. even eating fruit and veg and getting sugar from natural sources i was still having alot of sugar. my normal sugar intake since starting keto is around 2g a day.

why do men think women lose weight and start looking after themselves for someone else. i lost 49lb so far and ive done it for myself and my own health . i am also married and want to look nice for my husband,you both love eachother so sit down and talk . well done on the weight loss, doesnt it feel great....

2LBS A DAY???? thats a lot, at your current weight i wouldnt worry about a gain. given yuor eating disorder i suppose its just part of parcel of your recovery

i use greek yoghurt in overnight oats, with seeds and berries and honey

Given the level of exercise your doing i expect your not eating enough, up your intake i bet it kickstarts your weight loss again. i go to gym 4 times a week and walk my dogs 6km every day. i started at 1200 and of course i lost but i found increasing to nearer 1600 works better for me.i certainly wouldnt go lower than the…

dont beat yourself up, nobody is good 100% of the time. i started 8th Jan and lost 3st, i started at 1200 calories but go to gym 4 times a week and upped my calories to 1400 plus i eat some of my exercise calories , usually nearer 1600. Body pump was one of the first classes i did and i still do it now, along with spin,…

when i first started fitness pal set my calorie goal at 1200, i did lose weight but started to feel hungry the fitter i became. i did some research and it suggested i should eat nearer 1470 per day. since then i felt less hungry and the weight loss has kick started again. sometimes days i eat as much as 1700.

first of all i had to google how to do my waist to hip ratio, its 0.66. i am pearshaped and its the bottom half of my body is the first place i gain and last place i lose weight. since january 9th i have lost 6 inches off my and i think 4 inches off each thigh. this is a combination of diet and exercise. still got a few…

blimey it took me 14 weeks to lose 29lbs. i wouldnt go lower than 1200 and more if exercising. but of course you know your body and what works for you. what i will say is if you hit a plateau at 1000 calories how do you reduce them further to lose last few pounds

i started at a gym for the first time three months ago. pilates is something id recommend s there are different levels for each exercise and my teacher says its good for those with ongoing injuries. i will say my teacher is very good so its finding a class that suits you, i dont like the other pilates class at my gym. once…

i love food, and crisps and sweets would be my downfall . but having lost 2st, half my goal weight i want to lose, i feel better. i prefer the taste of healthy food and it doesn't make me bloated or over full like unhealthy food does.

i too am an emotional eater, especially if im feeling down.i always worry about what may happen and stress about things i cannot chnage. i also have three daughters, 18, 15 and 5, the youngest two bicker and just basically do my head in. i have found exercise lifts my mood. its my time, i just put on my music and block the…

id be happy with 11lb for on month. im aiming for half a stone a month and giving myself a whole year to lost 4st. if your working out alot too i imagine you've built muscle and lost inches.

surely good fats are ok? nuts, advocado, oily fish etc .

struggling to eat my calorie allowance let alone exercise calories

wow you look amazing for 47 , im 45 and trying to lose 4 st. your an example that it can be done and age dosnt come into it

I have yo-yoed for years, sadly i put on 4 st in 16 months through just feeling down . sat on sofa eating crap. it is tedious logging food , i try to keep carbs low. im interested in the whole vegetarian thing, upsets me when i think of the animals . only day two of my lifestyle change and doing ok but struggling to meet…

i had the same issue when i tried my wedding dress on a couple of months before, i just didnt like how it looked. i watched what i ate, exercised and have to say i was around 8lb lighter come the big day, though i think some came off through excitement . my size 8 dress looked amazing. fast forward 16 months and 4st weight…
