Kiramaniac's given you a lot of great information. I've quoted the part about macro's because I've notice this is where many people that do keto, myself included, set their macros. You can change your percentages under goals. Select custom. Where to set your calories depends on you. I used another online calculator to…

I agree with Golightly. It could very well be some lingering effects from aspartame but there is something else in your post that makes me curious. You say that mfp tells you that you should be 15-20 lighter in 5 weeks. This message is rarely accurate for most people but it also raises a small red flag for me. That sounds…

I don't weigh in during that time either. It's kind of pointless.

I just don't discuss it anymore. I would get eyerolls at the mention of low carb and very few people know what keto is around here. Now I just tell people I can't have stuff because it negatively impacts my blood sugar. They back off quick, nobody wants to be responsible for giving someone else the "sugar diabetes" :wink:

Sounds so good.

I think it varies per person. I'm of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset. I'll recalculate when things look like they are slowing down. Preferably before a plateau or stall.

Nice and consistent

Not behind, jump in anytime.

I enter my stuff like that in recipes. Then you can decide how many servings you think you actually ate. I always have trouble with the sauces for the same reason you're talking about. Ex. If I use 1/2 a stick of butter in broccoli and I see some in the bottom of the pan how much is actually on the broccoli I ate? Eta:…

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me...

Yeah, sometimes I get caught up in how far I have left to go and forget how far I've come. Ifaber and hopperem, you're both almost halfway there. Congratulations! I'm excited for you!

Great link

You weren't alone with Thanksgiving. I think there were a couple of us. If you look at your numbers you can tell it was mainly water weight and now you're right back on track ;)

Y Pfft! You're closer to goal. You're going to have to really sweet talk yours off ;) You're doing great!

I have 50+ pounds to lose. Mamamudbug

Nice loss :)

Congrats on your loss so far! It is a little difficult to change your thoughts on some things. I still have moments where I have to remind myself that I can have something I used to avoid.

^Full of win. Thanks for the references. I lost all my bookmarks recently and don't have any of the good stuff at hand right now. Slowly building them back up. I

Your goals are sound and IF is good but you're not consuming enough calories to support your nutritional needs much less the exercise you're doing. If you stall I imagine it will be because of the low calories combined with exercise. Fortunately, you can make up those calories by adding in good sources of fat.

I agree with being strong and it works for me to a degree. But I've also found I have to be a little prepared. I had fat bombs in the freezer for times when the kids have something I want. I also use the mock danish, which if I cross my eyes just right ;) reminds me of cheesecake or custard. You could also look up low carb…

Sounds like a plan.:happy: I'm trying to stick to keto levels, too.

I've learned to have low carb snacks at hand. I carry them with me or in the car for times that the food choices around me are not that great. I have some automatic meals. Usually breakfast, sometimes dinner. Like Frutti, I'm teaching myself to find more low carb sides.

I don't know how this got missed. You're welcome to add me :)

Nicely done! 11/11 204.6 11/20 202 11/27 200.6

You may want to look for a long term downward trend instead of looking at your day to day weight. I also find taking measurements and pictures more useful than the scale sometimes.

Just started Keto. Welcome to add me :)

11/20 202 11/11 204.6 Everyone's numbers are looking good this week. Congrats on your losses!

Just jumping in so I'll be a week behind. 11/11 204.6
