@jessicakrall8 Thank you! And good job on staying in control! @JoDavo66 I'm so sorry! You've had one heck of a week. 😪

Aqualang26 Weigh-In: Friday PW: 195.6 CW: 193 @jessicakrall8 I'm sorry my timing doesn't work for you. I pretty much always do my Friday weigh-in before bed. I didn't think I was late as long as it was done during my designated weigh-in day. If it would better suit your purposes, feel free to consider my Friday weigh-in as…

Wow @goonies73 GREAT loss! Do you mind sharing some specifics on what plan you're following to achieve almost six pounds in a week? That's incredible and I'd love some insight/pointers I may be able to incorporate to see those kind of results too.

@JoDavo66 I don't count exercise calories in MFP. Mostly because almost all burn estimates are grossly exaggerated. That said, if I've been doing something strenuous and I'm hungry, I eat a bit more and don't worry about it.

Aqualang26 Weigh-In: Friday PW: 202.2 CW: 197.6 I didn't do anything different this week, and was 200.8 on Wednesday look (which is on par for me) which makes me think tonight's weight is an incidental fluctuation. Should I just use Wednesday's?

Man, I way underestimated how helpful it is for your partner to share your way of eating! My husband loves his potatoes etc, and I've been keto. The past couple of weeks he's joined me (as a detox, he doesn't actually need to lose weight.) It has been so much easier to only have to think about and make one meal. He's not…

Thanks so much for the kind words and correction @jugar

Hi @jessicakrall8 - I sent a private message on Sunday but haven't heard back. According to my math, and the posted spreadsheets, Ilost 1.48% last week which puts me in second for our team yet I wasn't listed at all. It seems I'm being missed in a number of things and I'm wondering if I'm not showing up for some reason?

Appreciate the correction and support @jessicakrall8 - thanks!

I'm also in the green all of March and not included? Maybe because my weigh-in isn't until tomorrow?

Add me, y'all! I try to always comment or at least give a like. I can relate to some of your post, OP. I got quite big after a major injury, bedridden and on heavy steroids for a long time. I lost it all down to 133 (I'm 5'4") but then got pregnant (at 41!) And put it all on and then some. So here I am trying to lose it…

It's weird how different our bodies react to diets. I feel great on keto! Even fasted workouts, but I do bring snacks on anything half a day or longer.

Congrats! Keto is wonderful for me - less appetite, reduced anxiety and inflammation, plus more energy.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm excited to be here. Challenges really help me stay motivated! I'm Laura, aged 43 from Florida. I'd previously put on weight after being bed ridden and on heavy steroids for months after an injury. I got that off but became pregnant shortly after (at 41!) - and gained that plus some back. Boooo!…

Fat is a limit, not a goal, whereas protein is a goal. Is there a reason you want to get a 2:1 ratio fat to protein? Fat helps you feel satiated and is a nice option on keto, but there's no need to get twice your protein in fat. The grams macros you listed look decent to me. You could up your carbs a bit to 20-25 but you…

After a MFP hiatus to have a baby ... and put on WAY more weight than I needed to, I'm back at it but most of my old pals are inactive. I really enjoyed the community aspect before and found it a really helpful - I'd love to have that again. So add me y'all!

Yes! Reducing the aches and pains is a big one! All the extra weight puts such a strain on the body. Kind of along the same line is more energy. Also, fat is hot dude. I live in the south and I'd really love to get rid of this "insulation." I have an 18 month old who deserves a mom who doesn't struggle to get up off the…

I'm down! I've lost 30 so far but still have 80 to go. Love to connect with others on this journey.

Hi! Please add me - both OP and anyone reading this who is looking for the same. I lost 90+ before and found groups and pals who are active in the newsfeed really helpful. I'd live to have that again. I just turned 43 and am currently 221. Prior, I'd been at 135 (I'm 5'4") and would like to return there. I had decided not…

I find non-scale short term victories helpful. Like, I want to be down a size by mid-March or I want to be able to get up that steep hill without being winded before it's hot out.

I've lost 90lbs on keto since August and would love some keto friends - anyone please add me. I've hit a bit of a bumpy patch and a new injection of motivated buddies sounds super.
