Just speaking from personal experience, I lost my period when I tried the keto diet a few years back. It literally came back after eating a sub. Everyone is different but if you aren't getting a whole lot of carbs, it won't hurt to increase the intake. While you wait for that dr appointment, of course ! 😉

Umm that is not at all what I was trying to convey. I know if I could eat 1200 calories worth of sugary carbs I would lose weight--im just saying personally, those are triggers that cause me to overeat. I do eat high fiber carbs everyday along with fats-- as I said, its always good to balance. I would down a bag of hershey…

Personally, carbs and sugar cause me to overeat. My insulin levels will spike after eating a cliff bar or a sugary yogurt. Ultimately, those foods will trigger me to eat more and send me over my calorie goal for the day. Everyone is different of course but I try and eat nutrient dense foods and a healthy balanced diet for…

Thanks for this!! As far as a change in my eating habits, nothing has changed other than the quantity. I eat small meals and snacks throughout the day (snacks are usually oatmeal, yogurt, kashi /cliff bars, fruit). I have tried eating more fat but still not satisfied so will try upping my protein (i eat too many carbs as…

I appreciate ya, thank you! I think I will try that. I'm probably arleady eating at maitinence so we shall see.

What do you mean by diet break...do you mean counting calories?

Yes, I feel stronger than ever to be honest! If this routine helped me tone up I'd be ok staying at this weight. Im a few lbs from being 'normal weight' but the way my body is shaped i appear pretty slim. Thanks for the feedback, very helpful!

I appreciate the response! It has been over a month since i have seen 129. The scales been up and down from 130 to 132. Scared at how much higher its gonna go!?

Me me me 😁

Same here. I have always had a dysfunctional relationship with food. Im either over eating or over restricting. I think for me its about having control. Eithet way, my day seems to revolve around it rathet than the other way around. Add me anyone!

Yes. It was disgusting.

I really want in on this action. Distract me from cookies

Well that may not be true for me but thats great. And tempting 😉

I have been losing pretty consistently a pound or more a week. I cant say i never went over 1200 but if i did it wasnt by much.

TDEE already counts your exercises calories you don't eat additional calories. MFP doesn't so you do eat the exercise calories.[/quote] Ah, ok I chose the lowest activity level thinking my intentinal exercise wasnt factored. Thanks!

Thanks, that was very helpful! My tdee is 1446. Not counting the 5 days of exercise i do of course. So...i guess I will ne sticking with the 1200. Appreciate the help!

Add me girly!

You can add me girlfriend 😀

Thanks so much for this!!

Thank you! This is what i wanted to hear. Every response mentioned ways I could still fit in exercise but i truly wanted a worse case scenerio to put my mind at ease. Yes, i plan on getting right back into my routine when i get back!

That makes me feel much better, thank you!!

Thanks soo much! Actually after reading it back, it sounds like more than it is- the 6 miles are what i do during the hour on the eliptical not in addition!! I appreciate the response!

Good point, yes we plan on it. Lots if parks and hiking if the weather holds up. I guess if i dont break a sweat it just doesnt feel like im making progress. I can handle maintenance just really scared im going to gain. Thanks!

Thanks! Good point, but they are all literally staying at our house. Feels a little awkward leaving them for the gym after they drove 7 hours to spend time with us. 🙃

You can add me! My diary is open but to warn you, it's pretty boring. I have been trying to lose weight since having my daughter in july 2017. I started in the high 160's (i'm only 5 feet tall) and im down to 134. Still want to lose a bit, wedding is in 10 days 😬 ~Katie
