Hi zoenewman, Surprised to hear that you have not lost any weight. When y weight slows down or stalls out these are the questions I ask myself and adjust where needed. (Are you logging all your food? Do you have a calorie goal? Are you eating the 'right' fats?) I've only been a low carb eater for a few months and have been…

Welcome! Just getting started is the biggest leap! You did it and you will be a great role model for your teens.

UKBaby Welcome Linda, I am new to this too but so far my biggest takeaway is to log every morsel that goes into your mouth. I started by logging and not worrying about any of the numbers.. It was a way for me to see WHAT I was eating. It was very telling. Even though I was eating healthier as of late I still had some…

cory17, I am with you on the sugar and fiber and breads. I have been able to limit my sugar to less than 50grams of sugar a day by eating only foods made from scratch and limiting my fruits. I just ordered some Psyllium husk to add to food to increase my fiber. In the evenings I've been drinking warm flavored/calorie free…

Mary here....Just getting started. I began MFP in Feb 2019 and lost some weight (20-lbs)..... Started reading, reading and reading and then messed with my CFP..... the scale was stuck, yuck! Went Dairy free in March and added beans whole grains. It's been a rollercoaster. I have gone back to 1200 calories at 25/50/25 CFP.…

Good morning to all, Cockneylady2014 welcome back, so sorry to hear of a family bereavement. I am looking into the Fast 800 Plan, let me know how it works for you. I was thinking about an 800 calorie fast 2 days a week to start and monitor those results. Probably a March goal for me. I’m trying to absorb all the info here…

Mary here! Thanks all for the warm welcome LisalnAR - Thank you for all the advice. The heads up is a good reminder. In the past when I have done "diets" I did well in the beginning and then the scale would not move for anything; I eventually gave up. This time, I am hoping it will be different with the fact that over the…

sdawg6197, I just started myfitnesspal this past month and have been working on a Macro diet too. I have done a body type assessment and it recommended what my ratio of macro, carbs and proteins should be each day. Currently I am on 25% carbs, 45% fat and 30% protein. I've lost about 8 lbs. in 2 weeks. I have a hard time…

Thanks for the info here. I am new to MFP, and learning a new way of life. Trying to stay low carb to lose weight and being very disciplined about loving my food. It has made a huge difference and I have lost a desirable amount of weight in two weeks. I am looking for some “run out the door” breakfast ideas. I’ve got the…

I would 3,4,and 5th the food scale. I have just started this new way of living and have lost about 7 lbs in the first two weeks. The real aaaha for me was to see what 25g of Almonds, 2 Tablespoons of cheese, 3 oz of meat really looks like. Accurate portions are crucial if you want to accurately log your food. It was a huge…
