I am still trying to figure out why I'm losing hair as well. I was eating a keto diet andpretty strict. No sugar. Healthy fats...avocado, green veggies. Fatty meats, then I have switched to mpf and 1457 calls per day. I walk three miles four times a week. Drink half my weight in water. I do have hashimoto AI lots that…

I’m losing quite a bit of hair as well. My endo said you lose hair based on a traumatic event that took place six months prior. I really don’t remember anything that happened then except I did change shampoo to one that has biotin and callagen. I have hashimoto and I think it could be related to that. I have been…

Girls, I'm reading through your posts and have similar hair loss issues. After thinking it through, I believe mine is a combination of autoimmune and stress. It's hard to conquer because thinking about the loss causes more stress. I don't want to change my eating, but I think the stress of deleting carbs has also…

How has that arch support worked for you? I currently wear 'sole' insoles and Asics kayano only. can't find any dress shoes for school, (I teach). Have been looking into a brand called Klogs. And have worn the nursing shoes (can't remember the name, they have a butterfly on the soles, don't really like that) thanks

K-PERFECT! My macros are set to just that. Here's to an awesome week ahead and I'm going to store now and I'm buying FRUIT!! Just won't overdo!

Basically, I've been undereating on Keto. I feel like I have damaged my metabolism

I don't know where my last reply to you went.......anyway, thanks, Ann for your help. I understand now the difference between TDEE and MFP calculations. I changed MFP profile and it gave me Protein 74g, Fats 49g and carbs 185g. I have been doing Keto, so haven't eaten but less than 20g/day. I will probably see a slight…

Thanks, Ann, this makes so much sense to me! I did set my calorie goal based on TDEE because I can't figure out how to get MFP to set it for me. You mentioned 'profile' so I will check there now. What clicked is counting exercise and eating back those cals when using MFP's calculations.

Have a question: On MFP, do we have to reach our calorie amount each day? Can we be 200 under? Also, if we have macros set up do we eat enough calories to not go over our macros? I'm all over the place with exercise calories so if we need to meet our macros and stay close to calorie to lose amount, and MFP suggests to eat…

Thank YOU, I got it!

Can you get me started on how to get MFP to figure a calorie goal for me please? I've been logging in food and exercise for 3 weeks but I don't think the calorie goal is what MFP created. I think it is one I created. Thanks!

I can't find where to click for MFP to figure my calories. I've jacked around with the macros and adjusted the calories a few times so I'm not sure where to click to get MFP's figures.

Elsie, Yes, visit Endo frequently as I have Hashimotos. Labs showed Vit. D low--now supplementing. Taking Estrogen and Progestrone for 'the change' so I can have energy with fewer hot flashes and mood is better. Not sure about minerals Thanks I'm trying to figure TDEE from the sexypants thread!

I'm a little confused on how to caluculate TDEE. I have figured out macros of fat and protein but don't know how many calories to eat to put me in a .5/week loss. Anyone want to help me calculate.............I'm brain dead from going back to school and gotta get this figured out now......

thank you so much!

I appreciate everyone's responses, thank you! I need to go back into MFP and adjust macros. what is a good carb percentage to lose .5/week? also protein and fat? thanks If there is a link on MFP to learn about this specifically, I would appreciate the link!

Yes, and I miss them! Can't sustain on what I'm currently eating, so I will add them back in one at a time

Kiela, that is a great idea. Just went to a session yesterday from our United Healthcare rep. They have free consultations with a dietitian as part of the plan. I think I'll log on with them to get an answer. I've been told to also follow the DASH diet, but am hesitant bc it adds in fruit carbs and I will gain. I'll let…

I totally understand your 'buffer' concept. Enjoy your vacay. Maybe the relaxing will help relieve, what I know you do: constantly consider (for lack of using the word 'worry') how many cals you have had, have I exercised enough, I hope I don't gain, thoughts. IMO, you have done great to get where you are from averaging…

thank you, I replied to Keila and would love y our thoughts as well!

Maybe this is my body's way of telling me that this is the weight I should maintain. Even though the number on the scale has been lower and that made me feel happier. I know the scale should not rule! Now to add back carbs without gaining what I've lost. This seems to be the problem. And that is even with adding in good…

I'm experiencing the same hair loss and eating 1400 cals/day. don't have the energy to exercise/walk or prep or cook. Afraid to add in cals because i will gain. Not sure how many grams of protein i am taking in but less than 20 carbs

Somehow, after I did a search, It popped up. thanks!

WoW, really weird. I did'nt see it on page one. so, I did a search and the thread popped up and there it was. There were lots of other posts not showing up initially. #stilllearningMFP thanks!

I thought I posted my weekly maintenance levels on Monday, Aug. 6 but I don't see them here on this thread. Any ideas??

Thanks CherylD! I need to drop 9 pounds then maintenance. However when o add more carbs I gain. This time I will watch calories as I add in more food. Pretty much don’t care to eat bread, cookies and cakes anymore. Crave fruits!! I hope hair will come back, I do feel it is the nutrition and hormones as I am 53. Nice to…

WTG mk2fit!! Such a great outlook, I'm right there with ya

Hi everyone, This is my first time to join a maintaining thread. I'm hoping to learn some more about what works for me and to support you! I took the HCG route for loss back in March 2015. I did a couple of rounds starting weight was 207. I have been down to 167 however, that was not a healthy weight for me. I wanted to…
