Well just checking back again in order to hopefully encourage others to stick with it if they are struggling. Im not counting calories anymore and have found a very successful long-term sustainable lifestyle solution that doesn't require me to count my calories. Ive hit my weight loss goals and now actually trying to gain…

I did...

So this thread here is where it all started for me. The beginning of my journey, complaining cause i didnt loose the weight i wanted to that week, said i hit a plateau lol. Little did i know there would be a lot of weeks like that in the future. So, i continued on into the late months of the year restricting calories and…

Search dr berg on YouTube and watch as many of his videos as possible....

Started out with just caloric restrictions, then finished with healthy keto and intermittent fasting. Loving the low carb life, will never turn back. 10 more pounds to go!

Peanut butter.... i love Peanut butter, spoon fulls of it.....yum.....dang

I used to use the ua band but it is no good anymore, so I was looking into getting the Fitbit. Does it monitor sleep as well? And what model is the most current?

add some friends on here that way you can see other people's food Diaries and get an idea how other people are doing it and what they are eating seems to help a lot.

I didn't really understand the science behind it but I did see a small jump already. Also did see the rise in sodium intake but did not correlate the relation between the 2. Not panicking, just letting it ride. I do understand that changes, even small will affect the body. With that being said, maybe a little off topic but…

AnnPT77 and Nony_mouse thank you. You have both been very helpful. As well as others that have posted on this thread thank you. I suppose I'll be back in a week and report losses at current intake to see if I should change up a little more. Thank you all

Eating more is not coming easy to me. Might seem kind of odd. If I'm not hungry I just don't know why I should force some food down. The little bit more I have been eating i need to make better choices I feel I'm picking more carbs. But all in all I don't think that percentages are bad macro wise.

As someone who rides and old Harley with a kick starter, never miss leg day!

Is there a way to post photos in the forum? Or share my daily diary some how?

I've got another question on how MFP sets up your macros by their default ... 50% carbs 30% fat 20% protein I was thinking a little higher on the protein and a little less on the carbs would be better. Is that wrong? I was eating 45% carbs and 25% fat and 30% protein since I started. Good or bad?

I do believe you guys/gals. Thank you

Yeah tha is that's what I'm going to shoot for. At least to give it a try. I hav nothing to loose by trying

Thank you for your time. Yes that makes sense to me. I've done no intentional exercise at all so far. When it gets nice out again, that will change. I will try the setting for 2130 calories a day and see what happens. I've upped the intake some Since reading all you's guys replies. Yesterday I upped it to 1990 calorie…

Ok so here is what MFP tells me at 3 different activity levels and 1, 1.5, and 2 lbs a week. Not very active 1lbs per week-1940 1.5lbs per week-1690 2lbs per week-1500 Lightly active 1lbs per week-2240 1.5lbs per week-1990 2lbs per week-1740 Active 1lbs per week-2630 1.5lbs per week-2380 2lbs per week-2130

Not so, I am not reluctant at all. I just started playing with the different settings last night and as I stated before i work for 12-14 hours a day. Got 2 kids and a wife at home and life to live as well. Most of my time on here amounts to enough to weight and log my food and take a look at this thread while I take a…

No way. Every equipment operator I know that's been doing it for more than 10 years if over weight. No way im considered active.

According to what "Google" and many articles says a safe and healthy weight for me is about 160. That would be 90 pounds I needed to lose. I was shooting for 200 and go from there. 175 would be about right for me . So that's 75 lbs from where I started. So by that chart above I should be shooting for 2lbs a week with 1000…

Even at 1500 I always feel full and satisfied. That's with 3 meals and 3 snacks through the day. Just tried to add another 250 to it and I don t even know how I'm going to eat all that. Either you guys are messing with me or I just got a slow metabolism right now

I work as a heavy equipment operator and dont get much activity. On my *kitten* pulling levers for about 12-14 hours a day. The most of my activity comes from turning my head and looking behind me 100 times a day. In the summer I get more activity because I get some daylight after work to be outside. Sedentary is probably…

So what do you guys think my daily intake should be?

Yes most all of it came off really quickly in the beginning. 15 lbs on first week. That first week I was at 1700 calories a day. So how is 1500 too low of I don't feel hungry at all? I am eating good food to get my calories. I physically feel great. Best I have in years. But according some of you I should get a good life…

So do you take any vitamins of any sort? Right.... that's basically what vital Reds is.

It's not designed for weight loss. And yes I know that diet and exercise are key.

Guess not
