There is some kind of extension people in the group talk about that works with MFP. Can't remember the name of it. @EelkoDoesKeto Do you use a thing to count net carbs with MFP??

Once in ketosis, excess protein gets converted to ketones. If consuming a higher carb diet, excess protein gets converted to glucose. I cook my meats and veggies in olive oil, to up my fats a little and to up my calories.

Sports Cream or Aspercream Original (same active ingredient: Trolamine Salicylate, two different brands). Aspirin based (non odor) OTC ointment (there are other ones, but this is the one that works). I discovered it in my younger years working in a club 8 hr shifts in 6" heels. This was the only relief I could find for my…

Thanks, good luck! It can feel a little restrictive at times, but well worth it if you can stick to it. Never thought I'd lose this much weight, this rapidly staying full and satisfied! It's definitely doable. ;)

@gwendyprism I found a caramel stevia liquid drops. It was in the sugar aisle.

I eat pretty clean Keto. I try to eat whole foods, not a lot of processed things. (I only eat processed when in a bind, like out of the house all day, no prepped foods to take with). Dirty keto includes processed foods... Like deli meats, American cheese, Atkins/slimfast products, etc.

When and where I started! A little more to lose, but getting closer to goal! Cutting carbs has been the best decision I could've made for my health! This has been a crazy journey to health!

Thanks...I didn't realize how short of a time period it's been, until I went to put label on the new pictures. Feels like it's been a lot longer.

LOL, thanks!!

@mor72 Thanks!! My typical day is coffee with half and half, cocoa, and stevia for breakfast. The rest of day is usually eggs, cheeses, creams, veggies, and/or meats. Everything cooked in olive oil and/or butter. Around 1300-1700 calories a day. I just started working out last week, 30-40 minutes of light cardio, some core…

Thanks, I was a little self conscious posting. Thinking I had pooch still showing, then I realized it's not me, it's the shorts being too big pooching out!! LOL ;)

@FluffyKitty987 The 20 minute workout is ironic. I was avid aerobic video doer in the 80s (I use to love a show called "20 minute workout"). There was one episode led by Bess Matta I memorized, and that is kind of the base of my workout. The show looks so cheesy now, but fun little doable workouts.

Thanks!!! 100+ is an incredible loss!! Way to go!! I hate to say it, but I wanted to lose weight without feeling starved or ever hungry. I'm not a gym person (too self conscious to work out in front of other people). So yeah, light aerobics, pilates, and core strength exercises at home while watching television, 3-5 days a…

Thanks all, I do need new inspiration shorts! Not quite at goal yet, but getting close!

Thanks... Yeah, losing on a good calorie intake and light workouts (30-40 minutes) has been incredible!

Thanks, I feel like a different person!! No longer avoiding my reflection and store camera images! Not to mention the confidence boost that comes with losing.

@loveswalking Thanks I am eating low carb (due to a health condition that causes sensitivities to carbs). And I eat higher fats, it's the easiest way to get calories in when not consuming a high carb diet. I don't own a scale, so I'm not exactly sure about weight. I know I started around 225-230 lbs and usually when I can…

Thanks!!

That's what everyone keeps telling me!! I'm starting to believe it!! ;)

Thanks! Another month or two I might actually get to goal size!

Thanks!!!

Almost there!!

Thanks!!

Thanks still got a little more to lose, but getting so close to goal, I can finally taste it!!

Where and when I started this crazy journey to the now. Cutting carbs has been the best health decision I've ever made!

When and where I started to the now!! Almost there!!! This has been a crazy journey to better health!!

Not sure how much I've lost, I'm estimating 40-50 lbs (I don't own a scale). Down about 4 to 5 sizes. Good luck, you can do it!!

I recommend the Keto Group and The Low Carber Daily Forum group on here. Both groups have a lot of active members and discussions. Good luck!

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling app? MFP has a lot of glitches.

@kshama2001 LOL I probably meant to type tsp... To be honest, I don't measure seasonings, I just add to taste. Then look like a deer caught in headlights when asked a recipe, ;)
