Me too! I'm always looking for more friends..

I still have a long way to go weight wise, but my fiancee and I joined a gym we really like and I've made it after work, twice by myself so far...that's a big deal for me! lol

There is a keto calculator that I used. You plug in your stats and it'll tell you your macros... Me myself, I'm just trying to keep it below 30g of carbs a day for now. I may get more strict on macros once I get a little more sure of myself. https://keto-calculator.ankerl.com/

I know I'm supposed to stay away from sugar substitutes...but I just have to have my SF Coffeemate in my coffee everyday...no carbs, low calorie...I'm keepin it.

We don't have snow, but the rain won't stop. I'm so sick of it, I want some SUN. Welcome to the Northwest..lol

I've only been on it a little less than 2 weeks, but I notice that my heartburn/indigestion is gone when I don't eat carbs...

I remember my mom doing a low carb diet when I was young and her goal was to keep it under 60g per day. She lost 60lbs doing that. I aim for 25-30g a day, but if I have a day that I eat a little more, as long as I keep it under 60g I count it as a success. I also try to keep my calories down as well, but I know there's…

Welcome back! I'm a newbie too. I did low carb YEARS ago, but am finally going back to it and I feel so much better!

I get too discouraged when I try to weigh everyday. However, when I was doing that, my trend seemed to be up 1 down 2 (when I'm losing, that is...lol)...except certain 'times' when my weight could go up as much as 5-7lbs. I've gone to weighing weekly, that's much easier for me to track...

I just left WW myself about 3 or 4 months ago. I lost about 40lbs, before they changed to the Freestyle program. My frustration with them seemed to be the cost and everytime I'd get comfortable with their program, they'd change it up. I think MFP is much more straightforward...and cheaper...lol.

For me it's protein. If I don't eat enough protein I snack a lot more and usually it's stuff I shouldn't be snacking on and I don't lose weight. Since doing low carb I don't snack at all at night, which was usually my most difficult time of the day. And water...I have to drink a lot of water or I get bloated... Good luck!

I'm finding I have a lot more indigestion and heartburn when I have bread or sugar, even if I stay within my calorie limits. I've never been diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity or anything like that, but I just plain feel better when I stick to the plan...

Me too! I have about 135 lbs to lose as well! Anyone feel free to add me...the more the merrier! :smile:

I was on WW for a while and tried to do both that and MFP and it got really confusing for me. It seems like they're changing their 'formula' all the time. I just got used to one way, and they'd 'update' it. To answer your question tho, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Do you mean like dividing your weekly points by…

Me as well! Anyone's free to add me...I have 100 plus...plus...plus to lose ! LOL

My goal is just to be consistent...I'm going from a very sedentary lifestyle to exercising again. So my goal is 3 times per week for April.

Hello! Can I say welcome if I'm a newer newbie??? lol

Woohoo! Another Washingtonian...lol. I'm in Mount Vernon :)

Thank you!! It was a look I did for Halloween... I'd dye it purple permanently if I could get away with it...lol

Hi all! I'm really glad to have stumbled on this board. I'm not quite 350lbs, but at my heaviest, was 315. I lost 40lbs on Weight Watchers but grew tired of the meetings, etc and fell off the wagon only to gain most of it back. So I'm starting from scratch at 308. Trying a different approach with Keto/low carb. I'm hoping…

Feel free to add me as well! I'm pretty familiar with low carb as I've done it years ago, but trying Keto this time around. I have quite a bit to lose and I'm on Day ONE...lol.

No, I haven't but would love to hear from people that have! I'm on Pinterest all the time looking for keto recipes!

Good morning! I'm new to MFP, but certainly not to 'dieting'...I'm currently at 308 and my goal is 165lbs...hopefully in time for my wedding in 2 years.

I have no brilliant words of advice other than 'I feel your pain!'. Hang in there!

Washington State!

Just started Keto and stumbled onto this group! I've been cutting back my carbs slowly and researching recipes, etc. My goal for April is to lose 8lbs and stick to strictly Keto... Current SW: 308 Sunday 04/01 Sunday 04/08 Sunday 04/15 Sunday 04/22 Sunday 04/29

Hi Everyone! Just joined...entering that oh so fun 'changing' stage of my life...finding it's a little harder to get the weight off at 47 than it was at 27...lol. Feel free to add me!
