You definitely should let her know that men (assuming you're male) drop way faster than women. It's normal. My guy loses waaay faster than I do. He's almost at his goal, and I'm still about 50lbs away from mine. And you know what? I'm proud of him. He looks and feels great, and I make sure to tell him that often, even on…

Oh, I would buy the hell out of that.

I never do. I don't even record my exercise in here. I eat when I'm hungry, stop when I'm full.

I don't drink very often, but here are my faves: Bourbon + coke zero (or diet rite if you prefer sucralose to aspartame) Rum + sprite zero Rum + diet orange soda (props to AaronKinnard for that idea!) Rockstar sugar free (white can) + vodka. You can do Red Bull zero as well with this, since most bars don't carry Rockstar.…

The way people eat is pretty much on the same level as discussing politics or religion. Everyone has their firm beliefs, and they typically won't budge on them. I don't even bother discussing it anymore unless asked, and even then I keep it short but sweet. I just say I've cut sugars and starches, and leave it at that.…

30g sounds about right. Mine is 15g but I have a super small frame and sedentary lifestyle, so everything's lower for me. As for testing your carb cap, a good way to find your limit is to just up your carbs everyday until you fall out of ketosis, and then just stay below that number. You can test with Ketostix (though they…

It really depends on your stats (height, age, bmr, etc). When I first started keto I tried to stick to 65/30/5, and when you enter it into custom goals in MFP with your information it'll tell you how much to aim for in grams. For my height, weight and BMR it comes down to 15g carbs/day. That said, a lot of the time my fat…

Nothing wrong with wanting some friends to go through this. Personally, I find I enjoy MFP way more with the friends I've made here so far. It keeps me inspired and accountable. If some people prefer doing this without friends or support, I guess that's their prerogative, but they shouldn't be mean about it to those who do…

I was always terrible about snacking and eating out of boredom. I could kill an entire bag or Doritos in one sitting. Half a pizza, easy, and then probably the other half later. On keto I'm just never hungry. I don't snack at all anymore, but the best part is I don't even want it. When I did low fat / low cal I was…

You're better off just living well, and being successful. She's obviously an insecure person and is trying to put you down. Also, the fact that your friend stood up for you in saying she thought you looked good when you weren't around means she's a great friend; keep her. :)

Sounds like you definitely reacted to something, though not sure what. What'd you eat and drink that day? It's been about a week now, is everything back to normal?

Unless you're spending a couple of hours a day in the gym and eating tons of protein, your muscles won't build fast enough to slow you down, especially for women. I've been doing strength training three days a week and I don't really slow down or stall because of it. So chances are it's not your muscles slowing you down.…

Long-time PC gamer, started with BBS doors, moved onto Ultima Online, a bunch of MMOs in between, and now WoW. Also loved the hell out of Skyrim, Silent Hill 1 & 2, the Mass Effect series (until.. you know...), pretty much every Valve game ever, and occasionally some Killing Floor. Looking forward to trying out GW2. I play…

Tim Horton's. Double-double in the winter, iced cap in the summer! I'm living in the US now, can't say I miss the Montreal winters! But oh, Tim's, how I miss you.

Sushi everyday. mmmm

For walking, my dog (mini dapple dachshund, Rocket) is great, though when I'm doing HIIT in my home gym he's a little *kitten*. :P The minute the mat comes out and I'm doing any floor exercises, he goes absolutely insane. Jumps all over me, rolls around me, licks my face, everything. It's like he ate some speed. Even if…

Canadian import living in Lafayette, LA. Love it here! No more snow!

It sounds like you and I have the same hair type. It really sucks in the summer (especially since moving down to Louisiana), so for most of it I throw it into a ponytail, however I do blow-dry my hair every time I shower, even if I'm gonna tie it back. If I don't, it looks -absolutely terrible-. Puffy down at the bottom,…

Welcome fellow gamer! I'm a WoW player as well as D3... and a ton more I won't get into now. Just wanted to say hi and welcome :D

I've been on keto for a month now and have been doing my best to make 'good' meals (instead of just having a meal of bacon or salami... which might've happened once or twice when I was pressed for time >.>) So far I've mostly just been making a meat + veggies meal for dinner, though I have managed to make keto sushi, too.…

The clothes thing is huge for me. Especially since moving down from Montreal to Louisiana... with how much heat there is down here I'd like to wear tanks and shorts a lot, but I don't feel like I can right now. So that's a big thing. The other thing that keeps me motivated is health stuff. I want to be healthy for a long…

Age: 31 Height: 5'3" SW: 253 CW: 238 GW: 120 I'm originally from Montreal but moved down to Louisiana a few years ago, for business and because my best friends all live here. So moving to the best-food-in-the-damn-world state didn't do me any favors. I've probably gained about 70lbs in three years down here, and I won't…
