I'm older than you and while not keto I do focus mostly on getting protein and as a result my carbs tend to be low. Last year I easily lost 30 lbs just watching my protein and counting calories, if keto helps you do that...and it is a way of eating that you can keep up after you lose weight then fine. For me the trick is…

Well our fridge died on Friday (no that's not the NSV). As I was lugging two 20lb bags of ice into the house (no..that's pretty cool that I could do that, but not the real NSV). I realized that at one point in my life I weighed about 40 lbs more and I was carrying those bags of ice around every day..now THAT'S my NSV. I…

Welcome...I am also in my 70s, active, exercise most days. I realized that I really don't like to eat breakfast. When I was working I never ate breakfast, but after retirement thought I should eat three meals a day...because...who knows why. So I basically eat my first meal around noon. I guess that counts as IF because…

Also if you in a hot climate heat and humidity adds pounds of water weight, unless you are in AC all the time.

Mine is fixed this morning

Also people seem to randomly post on any forem. For example posting on "maintaining weight" with questions about how to start to lose 50 pounds or how to break a plateau....those of us who are in maintenance are essentially trying to keep that hard earned plateau.
-
Also realize that you posted on the maintaining weight section...so everyone here has the goal to stay the same. You may get more responses on the weight loss section. Just be patient and experiment.

I just sent a nother e-mail, this time to support. I just want to know that they are working on it.
-
They have had the extra options for a long time, they still have not fixed the scale on the charts.
-
Several of us have reported it, hope they fix it.

I think you can celebrate. I'm in my 70s so my case may be a bit different. I picked a goal based on the calories that were predicted to maintain. We snowbird to Florida for a good bit of the winter and when we migrated I was less than 5 pounds from"goal". At that point i set my calories to maintain at goal and when we got…

Add me to the useless progress charts. It is not only weight but other measurements also that are rescaled incorrectly.
-
I'm in my 70s and have always maintained around 5 lbs "overweight" I recently asked my doctor if I should try to lose those few pounds and was met with a strong NO!!! At my age and height I maintain at 1400 cal with maybe 100 more for walking. When I was losing I ate at this goal calories instead of dropping lower and then…

I had kept to my happy weight for 8-9 years then health issues took hold and I gained some. Lost it and realized that the gain was because I stopped weighing myself and then didn't want to get on the scale because I didn't want to know the ugly truth. For those "success" years I weighed regularly and paid attention to how…

I'm on my laptop, haven't tried this on my phone. I wanted to track my steps from my basic pedometer (dumb and doesn't do anything but count steps). I went to my homepage and then check-in. I see the "add new measurement" and added it there. When you want to record your A1C you can go to check-in and add the new reading.…

Just don't close out your diary and you won't get the message. Just log your food and keep to the calories you want. This is just a tool to track calories in food and calories burned in exercise, nothing more than a tracking tool so use it that way. No BIG BROTHER is telling you to do anything.
-
I got to a little under five pounds from goal when we went to Florida to snowbird. I set my calories to maintain at goal weight. For those two months I sort of kind of logged as best that I could and did not weigh myself. When I got home I was in goal weight and have easily maintained since. Maybe a different approach but…

Stay out of the sun.

Just curious, what is filter feeding? Anyway you are gaining weight because you are eating more calories than you need to lose weight. This could be because some logging mistakes like not weighing your food or picking a food entry that is wrong or you could be overestimating calories in exercise.
-
I don't understand. I can log in on my laptop or my phone and I have never belonged to facebook. And I'm very very old and non-tech savvy.

https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/breastfeeding-special-circumstances/diet-and-micronutrients/maternal-diet.html A quick google came up with this. Ask your doctor would be the best bet.

At 5'4" 150 puts me right in the sweet spot for healthy for my age (mid 70s). I've been maintaining happily at this weight. To go 5-10 pounds lower to get to "normal" on the BMI chart would be a stuggle for me to maintain. My doctor told me not to lose any weight. Bones are great, all blood work is great and I am on no…

I can put my head on my knees both sitting and standing, I can also bring my chest to my feet when sitting with my feet together with my knees at the side to the floor. I'm in my mid 70s and had neglected stretching for a long time. great to have it back!!!
-
WOW..your dietician went to the store with you and forced you to buy junk food!!! AND then sat in your kitchen and forced you to eat it all causing you to stop losing weight!!! How horrid!!! It's all her fault!!
-
Hence my point about friends...this was just a group that gets together. A friend is someone you call in the middle of the night when your cat dies, or when you are on the way home from getting bad news at the doctor, or when your husband or significant other is a jerk or when you just gave the car keys to your kid the…

I think you may be confusing "friends" with just people you hang out with. I have a few (very few) close friends, have had them for years, they are as important as family. Friends (as opposed to acquaintances) just would not behave the way you have been discussing, either in your youth when you went out partying or now in…

When I started i weighed and measured everything. Now in maintenance I don't often, usually when I'm making burgers or something to get the size even. I do weigh myself every day and if I see a trend up will go back to weighing and being more careful with portions, usually just being more mindful does the job. I do log…

Wow niner sounds like you have had a rotten bunch of friends. Maybe be more picky in the furture.

Lurker here and just want to thank you for the tip about the Illuminate SB...and glad someone else tried the rose. My go to Rose is La Vie en Rose from France, but I live in Pennsyltuckie and wine is a challenge to find.
