Better but still not great. I reset my numbers and map recalculated me at 1200 calories. With spring also comes more activity so that helps but these last few days I have been feeling a bit lethargic. I noticed my iron was not close to the goals. I'll have to fix that.

Congrats on your achievements as well.

Ya, that was almost immediate but not completely gone in the one knee. It has no cushion :neutral: . Sounds like getting back on track will sort a lot for you too. gl

At that age, I had been working in very physical jobs from horse farms to landscaping and loved it, so I was fit and lean and feeling good at 6 ft and 150 lbs but since then, 20 years at my desk job got the better of me, and I have put on quite a lot of weight. My thing is that I love food but don't enjoy cooking. When I…

I misspoke. it was a REGISTERED DIETICIAN to whom my family doctor recommended me. I was also going to go down the path of gastric bypass at one point, and the dietitian there also was adamant about not paying attention to calories, but more about the nutrition. Bottom line is that it can be all very confusing considering…

I wondered about that. It was all very welcome info. thx much.

I thought of that too, so did my measurements today and sadly, no loss in neck, waste or hips however I suspect I may be increasing muscle (at least I hope so, lol) and mostly in the legs because of cycling. Because of an injured knee, walking is out for now until I lose some more, but I do elliptical as well. I think I…

@kshama2001 I believe that, with all the various body types and metabolisms, we likely digest differently and our metabolisms react differently. When I was younger, I felt little to no effect from carbs such as rice, potatoes and beans, but I can no longer say the same. It may be because of my size, my age or my…

@vanmep I am fairly sure that much of that was water weight. At 120 lbs overweight, 22 lbs in 3 weeks doesn't surprise me at all. I would expect that to reduce to 1 or 2 lbs a week after that.

I know the blood monitor would be better, but they are also quite expensive and are not overly accurate either, from what I have read. I just needed to get a general idea if I was on the right track because I had had zero keto side effects since starting this path. I try to avoid the sweets, although I have had a keto bomb…

not hung up. just like to hear all sides and thoughts is all. It wasn't just mine that folks were disagreeing about. :) but no worries.
-
On a side note, I wish the person(s) disagreeing frequently in this thread would put in their comments. I would love the read their thoughts on this.

Congrats on your achievement! I am quickly learning that by following Keto, it will effectively also aid in ensuring I remain within my caloric max simply by satiating my hunger.
-
I reposted my original post in the Keto group, but got zero responses, and this thread has provided a lot of info, so while not specifically Keto-related, it has certainly been helpful regardless. Also congrats on your weight loss @peggy_polenta ! that's fantastic.

L1zardQueen linked this earlier. I joined the group but haven't read through it yet. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum

Carbs have a huge affect on me. I feel almost like I've been drugged whenever I eat carbs of much quantity and with that comes mental clarity. I never used to be like that, but I definitely need to watch out now. As for the ketostyx, I was leery about spending too much on something that still would not give me great…

I should probably mention that I am 57 yrs old, so time of month is not quite so relevant anymore. Someone linked a neat script for MFP that adds a column to the Diary for the calculated net carbs. I'll be interested to see the differences and 'no' I originally did not have the fiber as one of the columns. I do now :) tbh,…

In addition to my doctor, when I stepped through the guided setup, it set it at 1700 as well. Because I had not been losing the weight, I chose to drop it to 1500 this past week. Not a new exercise regime, but more frequent. I was once or twice per week previously. Curiosity question. If the goal is to lose weight, would…

Most recipes I make are in grams, so weighing everything is becoming the norm. :)

Yes, I am aware of that L1zardQueen but my intent is to burn fat and lose the weight while boosting energy. Perhaps posting here was a bad idea, since my questions are more related to Keto. Interestingly, when I have spoken with nutritionists, they balk at mention of calorie counting so determining a proper path can be…

I am tracking calories as well. Before I started on this, I was consuming easily over 2500 cal/day and maintaining. When I started on this track, I set the goal at 1700 as was recommended to me, and I recently dropped it to 1500 for the past 5 days with no changes.

I started with 120 lbs to lose. I'm down 20 lbs since Dec 20th, so would love to be part of this.
