I feel your pain! I am in the same boat. I am faithful about weighing, measuring, logging and get my blood work done every 3 months. The only thing I can recommend is patience. Even people I know who go to weight watchers and stick to the plan may only lose .5 lb (or less) week and say it is very slow. But at least it is…

I am trying to stick with 1200 cal/day.. Breakfast: 4 tablespoons liquid egg whites, lots of chopped tomatoes, chopped green onion and 1 tablespoon mozarrella cheese. Dinner - Going out to a locally owned restaurant for dinner tonight for a happy hour special bowl of steamed mussels. I have no idea what is in their broth…

For me, getting a good amount of fiber is difficult on Keto. High fiber is pretty essential for digestive health. It is possible I guess to reach 30 grams/per day without fruit, lequmes, grains but I would have to eat an enormous amount of vegetables. I have been doing the Med. diet which also reduces inflammation and has…

I have found all the Skinny Taste soup recipes to be very good!

I eat sugar free jello

I had an egg mcmuffin with thomas's 100 calorie lite multigrain muffin (high fiber!), 1 slice canadian bacon, 1 slice 40 calorie velveeta cheese and a scrambled egg white.

I have recently got into vegetable chips. Carrots: Mix one bag of match stick carrots with spray oil, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, salt and pepper - Roast at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, was yummy. I am currently making Brussel Sprout chips: Thinly slice 1/2 lb. brussel sprouts, mix with garlic…

I am in the same situation-the slow weight loss is extremely frustrating. A lot of hard work with very slow results.

Thank you!

I chose a 1lb/week weight loss and it comes up 1210 calories/day

No I haven't been eating back my exercise calories. Due to some spinal stenosis, I am having to ease back into exercise. So not enough yet to eat back. Working up to it.

I am hoping eventually my body will adjust to less calories If I up my protein I seem to go over 1200 calories (even with eggs, fish and chicken). This diet certainly doesn't leave any room for wine or "fun foods". Going to try the sugar free jello when I get hungry.

Try mixing some fat free half and half and skim milk

I enjoy the variety of the Med diet. One Thomas Multigrain lite English Muffin gives me 8g or fiber for just 100 calories. Quinoa and beans, along with at least 3 cups of vegetables and 3 fruits gets my fiber intake up fast! Did a lot of research and now have the portion sizes and no. of servings per food group down pretty…

Try quinoa instead of cereal. A high protein super food. I love it!

I like any of the Skinnytaste soups. You can find them Pinterest and most are included in the MFP food database. The Cauliflower Soup is wonderful, low cal and healthy

I use mine all the time for soup. Skinnytaste has great recipes and you can find them in MFP food database. Yum!

Skinnytaste Slow Cooker Santa Fe Chicken Stew/Soup

My go to is riced vegetables (Green Giant). You can season them in so may ways (I use lemon pepper, a little parmesan cheese) I also add protein like beans and shrimp and a little avocado. Very low calorie, healthy and you can eat a lot of it!

I use this all of the time: 1/2 c sugar free maple syrup (you can substitute splenda to your taste) 1/2 c vinegar (any kind) 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 or 2 tbsp. olive oil Optional: 1 tsp. minced basil, thyme, and/or parsley

Thanks everyone!

If you have tried fiber and over the counter laxatives and after 3 days you are still constipated, time to see a doctor so you don't get completely blocked.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I am taking everyone's advice and sticking to my 1200 cal/day plan today.

Thank You moss11!

I am! Live in Auburn

For me, the first month has been a huge learning curve and I have only lost 2 lbs. It has taken me this long to really understand what is going in my mouth, weighing solid foods instead of measuring, using the calorie database correctly, how to handle going out to eat at restaurants, including EVERYTHING on my daily log,…

My gastrointestinal doctor says fiber, fiber, fiber! 25-27grams per day. He also said if your constipation continues for 3 days take a dose (I hate to say it) of Milk of Magnesium (he said it is your best friend). I learned the hard way in not following his advise when my colon became completely blocked (very painful) -…
