Where is the other Keto group located? I would love to join that one as well! Thanks!

Have you tried cutting carbs, sugar and making sure you are getting adequate sodium intake? I have MS, Fibro, Psoriatic Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue and Bipolar disorder. The last 5 years I have had no energy at all. When I needed motivation I would fuel my body with sugar, caffeine and carbs. I gained 70 lbs which made my…

Hi there! It sounds like you are doing great! I think upping your sodium intake was a great idea. When you drink too much water you flush all your electrolytes out, that causes thirst to increase. Also, every time you eat, you raise insulin. Snacking is not recommended generally. That is what gets me. I have spent 20 yrs…

This was just what I needed to read! Thank you!

I always scan the barcode on the back of the package before I open it. You can always search for the brand name as well.

What motivates me: 1. Seeing my children grow up! 2. Improving my health 3. Getting off some of my many medications 4. More energy 5. Improving my families health 6. Getting rid of my fat clothes

I was told the same thing. Have you watched any of Dr. Eric Bergs videos? He has really answered a lot of my questions just in videos alone. I hope you can get some answers. I know that when I didn't log everything that went in my mouth, I was overeating. That is a good start.

Thanks! I will try that!

[/quote] Yes but I may need to increase more. I eat pickles and i love to drink the juice. Do you think I should add a magnesium supplement?[/quote] We need 3,000-5,000mg EVERY DAY. Your diary shows that most days you don't even reach 3000mg. Hit that minimum consistently. Then if you are still feeling a little puny, you…

What kind of dressing do you use? I cant seem to gind anything without canola, soy oil! Everyone's food looks great!

I had a week like that but then I turned around and lost 5 lbs. I find that if I'm not losing I cut back on my cheese intake and keep my carbs below 20 grams and it seems to correct itself. I hope others have some advice for You! Keep up the good work.

Yum!

My cravings are better but my energy is low low. I may need some added supplements. I take a hand full of pharmaceuticals 3 times a day (some more). I'm sure that doesn't help things. I am going to keep pushing on though. Thank you for asking!

This thread made my morning! :D That scale means so much to me but unfortunately our relationship is one sided. He doesn't really care for me. I need to end this codependent relationship. My clothes communicate better, they hug me often (sometimes way to tight), and they never leave me. The numbers lie; don't let them tell…

How much do you have to lose in all? 1 pound in a week is great. I haven't lost any weight in over 2 years. Still don't consider it a stall though. Low carb is different. The scale isn't trustworthy when losing fat this way. Be careful not to look to the scale as a measure of success too much. The closer you get to an…

I have a similar question. I only lost 1 lb this week and I'm trying not to be discouraged. MFP has me set at 1200 cal per day. I have my Fitbit linked so some days I am 800+ calories under my goal. Most days I'm just not hungry (except for today). Am I eating to little? I am keeping carbs under 20 and trying to keep my…

I have sleep apnea so after getting my cpap (2 yrs ago) I sleep much better than before. I still wake up with the energy of a sloth, lol.

My cravings are for sweets/carbs. For years I've lived on sugar, carbs and caffeine. I have some medical conditions that cause extreme fatigue. Fast energy was crucial to my life of work and kids. I quit my job so I can get my diet under control and hopefully off 1/2 my medication.

I had a hysterectomy several years ago but still have my ovaries. I always forget that. It is about that time for me. I have also been very hungry. I will try some salt. Thanks everyone!

Thanks! I will stop the dressing and increase the fats for now!

You look fantastic!

I love Blue Cheese. It's full of fat, contains no sugar and only 1 carb per serving. I love Marie's Chunky Blue Cheese.

Thank you

How do you post pictures?

Me too! I love avocado with a little salt!

Yes, I chose the 1200 cal because otherwise MFP said it would take me 2 years to lose my weight. I also have MS and several other diagnosis that cause extreme fatigue so I am not very active. The last 2 weeks I am finally able to get outside and walk.

I have at least 35 more to lose. I just thought it was weird to be eating the same amount of food and being hungry now. I did start walking though, something I haven't been able to do in several years.

I also add Dr. Berg Electrolyte powder to my water.
