Some people find Keto an easier diet to stick to. Some suggest that eating more fats keep you full. You see, when you eat carbs your body converts it to glucose which is what your body uses to produce energy. When you no longer eat carbs, your body needs to get the energy from somewhere and takes it from your body fat…

Weight fluctuates quite easily, especially when you start exercising. If you know that you have been logging accurately and weighing your food and not eating over your calories, then you should be fine. I realize that a couple pounds feels like a lot when you're doing everything right but it's just the way your body works…

Hey even looser is super encouraging! Congrats on your progress so far (:

Haha you crazy UK'ers ;)

You're suppose to eat back half or more than your exercise calories. Your body is moving and needs to be fueled. That's like saying that because you drive to work, the gas doesn't count. Whether your moving your body through a scheduled work out or moving your body doing your work.. it's still burning calories. Your body…

LITERALLY ME. Especially the logging part. I weigh all my food and even though I can see the number on the scale right in front of me, I enter it in MFP and always think.. pfft! How is that only x amount of cals'? I'm also bad for over logging and thinking ' meh, I probably screwed up and under logged somewhere else so…

First off.. being a new mom is hard enough! Eating schedule, sleeping schedule, .. it's all off for a few months. I remember it feeling like a blur. Secondly.. while your health is important, at the beginning of parenthood you're so focused on your baby it's easy to sort of put your health on the back burner temporarily.…

Yes.. makes me feel like I have a food addiction :/

Your account is private so I can't see your diary. But my suggestion is weighing your food for a while. Obviously this isn't going to be a forever thing - but it will give you a great understand of serving sizes. Like for example.. pasta! I used to eat probably close to 3 servings on my own and that was just the noodles..…

Temptations are okay if you can fit them into your daily calories.. although once you log them, and realize how little portion you get, and how many calories get sacraficed.. it makes you wonder if it was even worth it. Kind of makes the 'bad treat' less appealing lol. Which is actually awesome in its own way. Anyways,…

I personally feel like for your current size that 1800 is kind of low especially if you're doing exercise. But maybe that's just me. If you set your stats up properly, with either a 1lb or 2lb weight loss weekly, proper activity, then eat the number of calories MFP gives you and then eat back half of the calories you burn…

It's probably just your body in a little shock.. if it's not used to this many veggies it's just adjusting. And too much of anything can have it's negative effects too.. however with veggies that's almost hard to justify :P Raw veggies are considered the best to eat as you don't lose any vitamins .. maybe it's almost a…

Your dessert is literally my breakfast lmao.

If you're getting 10k+ steps I would suggest lightly active and not sedentary :)

My son is 2 now but like you I had lost weight prior to being pregnant. I went from 165-130 in about six months. I ended up getting pregnant 5 months later and by the end of pregnancy and by the time I gave birth, and after a couple months I was 155lb. I started eating better and moving more. It was really hard to do that…

Slow and steady is usually best but big weight loss in the beginning is also normal and it will eventually slow down and stabilize. I would suggest eating nuts to bring up your calroies and fats. It won't take much of them, therefore, it may prevent potential overeating. (Or old habits) However, congrats on your hard work…

Hw: 166 Cw : 135 Gw: 125 I'm 25, 5'8 f. I've been on MFP for 30 days and have lost almost 5lbs on here so it's working for me (: I don't know how to add people as friends but I'm always looking for more friends too. (Can someone tell me how to add someone? Anytime I try it's almost like it starts a message instead?)

I like unsweetend vanilla almond milk because it's only 30 cals per cup and sits better in my stomach. (It's a lot lighter on it is what I mean.)

Is there a way to check your weekly calories or do you have to manually do it? Thanks!

Small DQ cookie dough blizzard. 660 cals! So good but barely worth it.

I'm always looking for friends :) I'm pretty new here but enjoying it a lot so far. It's cool to see others diary's and random status updates. I'm looking to lose baby weight as well! Add me if you'd like.

Well according to calorie counting logic, as long as it fits your calories (which will be set to a defiect on here if you have it set to lose weight) then you're technically allowed to eat whatever you want. Obviously nutritous foods are best, but if you can fit a bowl of ice cream in by the end of your night, you should…

My goal weight is 125. Yes I realize that I'm at a healthy BMI I just have a little weight around my hips and such (after having a child two years ago) that I would really like to lose. And thanks for clarifying the difference for me, because yes I did mean TDEE. And yes my diet is actually quite healthy but I would…

Thanks! I realize that I don't need to lose a lot of weight. After having a child, extra weight has appeared around my hips and *kitten* that I'd like to lose. So probably 10lbs max. But your advice makes sense, I really probably should lower it from 1lb loss to .5 because you're right.. I should probably lose at a slower…

Thanks! I actually bought a scale yesterday and have started weighing my food more properly :) it's very helpful for sure!

That's awesome. Good for you and your wife! Changing your lifestyle is not easy but it sounds like you guys took it at steady pace and it really paid off :)

I'm Terra. Id love to have some accountability as well lol. I want to lose about 20lbs or so. I've got some extra hip weight that has been hard to budge since having my first child two years ago. I'm also quite new to the app, so it would be nice to have some friends lol.

I did this the first time I lost weight :) it felt so good. However, I ended up getting pregnant about six months later and then wished I hadn't been in such a hurry to get rid of my bigger clothes.. but eventually I did get back down to a lower weight and it all worked out fine. This was something I didn't even take into…

Yes or else your body will go into stravation mode and store fat... Seriously when will people realize that it's SO unhealthy to lose weight by not eating enough in a day?
