I'm 21 y/o and have been abusing food for all those years. I'm glad to hear it's not just me who found it a bit of a struggle with keto. I'll join the group on here. Hopefully, I can get back on the wagon for longer than 24 hours.

I did keto about a month ago for three weeks and lost 20lbs in water weight. I cheated for one day and have struggled to get back on since then!

I changed my MFP goals. I put 'lightly active' instead of 'sedentary'. My updated calorie goal is 2,290. Does this sound more accurate? Thank you all for your help, by the way.

I put sedentary in MFP, but I don't think I really am. I did that because I wasn't sure if that was considered exercise to MFP or not.

That's weird. But that's what MFP gave me as a calorie goal when I set up my account. I'm not sedentary as I'm a full-time college student and I work retail part time, so I'm walking on campus or in a store every single day for hours. That's the only exercise I get. MFP probably gave me 1,990 because I put in that I wanted…

When I set up my MFP account, I put in my stats and that I was sedentary (which I am) and wanted to lose 2lbs a week. It gave me 1,990 as my goal. As for how many calories I go over...it depends. It's never the same! But I'm going to eat lighter during the day and see if that will help me stay within my goal in the…

I'm not sure what my maintenance is. I'll have to look and see. The problem with not keeping high-calorie food in the house is because I'm the only one dieting and my family would kill me if I got rid of the Lay's chips and whatnot. But I'll try the maintenance thing to sort of ease my way into cutting calories.

I've heard about that but I wasn't sure what it was exactly. I was thinking it was fasting for a day or so (like religious fasting). That's a good idea. I haven't really researched IF, but it sounds like it's right up my alley.

I do most times! I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. When I wake up every morning, I am focused and motivated. By the time night comes around, all that motivation is gone and I just eat whatever I want to. It's probably because I've eaten whatever I wanted to for twenty-one years. :#
