  • I have days like this out of the blue: weak, tired, jittery, moody, achy. Like has been said, it usually is PM's, but I also think it is detoxing -like another level of the keto-flu. I drink tea (hot or iced) and I find it helps kill cravings and gives me something to do. It helps up my fluids, and I also up my salts and…
  • I'd love me some keto-friends.
  • I find I need to keep my meals simple to keep carbs and protein under control. I try to keep all my eating within 6-8 hours to keep my nighttime fast as long as possible. It usually works out that I have two main meals and one light meal. Two meals I eat simple ingredients like: eggs and bacon; avacado salad with homemade…
  • Absolutely AMAZING progress! Good job...keep it up! If the first 50 made that much difference, imagine what the next 50 will do!!!
  • TDEE-20% has been the way to go for me. It gives me enough calories to feel well, have energy, be a good mom, but still lose weight. I also am careful to keep my carbs down - nothing drastic, mostly eliminate bread and I avoid sugar. I may not lose fast, but I know I am changing my lifestyle and losing for the long term.…
  • I started the C25K this summer and I was very scared of failing as well - but I have kept on. I am also on week five and my next run is the 20 min non stop...and it scares me. But you encourage me to try anyways. My son also stared the program and yesterday ran his first 5k!!! He came home feeling like a million bucks! I…
  • Good job! I give you a double "woot, woot!" BTW, I like your word "schlumpy" - very descriptive. :)
  • I love the Couch to 5k program. I ran in high school....20 years ago. In the mean time I've gained 25 lbs and had 8 children. I am back into it now - I've lost 7 lbs and I'm on week 4 of the program. I feel GREAT. Saucony shoes have nice wide widths and are very comfortable - but that is something you just have to try. The…
  • I loved reading your story! I can sure relate to breaking with the self-destructive behaviour. And skipping is good exercise...I think just being happy burns calories! :D
  • T-Tapp workouts work great for me. I used them during my pregnancy as well and it really helped tone my muscles and keep extra weight off. (www.t-tapp.com)
  • I'm just over 37 weeks now and am due March 18/12 :) :). I am 36 years old and this is my 8th baby. I have gained up to 50 lbs with some of my other pregnancies, and when I found out I was pregnant this time, I was already 35-40lbs overweight at 183lbs. I was very sick at first, lost a little weight, got medication, and…
  • I am 33 weeks pregnant and I have been on MFP for 95 days. I started this pregnancy about 35 lbs overweight and I did not want to add more to what I already needed to lose. I am eating 1700-1800 cals a day - keeping carbs low due to blood sugar problems (I am 5'6" and my pre-pregnancy weight was 183lbs). I have started…
