One of my biggest challenges is trying to do too many things. I'm a full time college student and work full time (no children though, just a cat, lol) Plus I tend to volunteer for lots of things on top of that... But I don't have to energy levels I used to have in my 20s so it's easy to find myself exhausted at the end of…

I was just about to post a similar question, but instead I'll comment here. I'm near the end of week 5 on keto, and I've noticed I lose weights in "splurts" Like for several days there will be little or no weight loss but then BAM! I get on the scale one morning and have gone down over a pound. It's good to know others are…

I can wear my size 14 pants that have been collecting dust in my closet for the last year! :D

Personally I prefer the free-range, pesticide free, antibiotic-free salt that gets to frolic through the meadows and sunshine all day before being humanely slaughtered. Nothing less will do.

My turning point was severe gallbladder pain. (Seriously the worst pain of my life, I felt like I wanted to die...) I haven't had it taken out. An ultrasound showed no gallstones, and I'm trying to manage it through healthy diet. So far I've had a big reduction in the pain through eating healthier. I'm 5'5" and was 191…

I had Chipotle for lunch today (Carnitas salad) and it was DELICIOUS. I didn't get the salad dressing though, it adds way more calories, and it still tastes great without it. :)

I like coffee (hot or iced) with heavy whipping cream. I have it once or twice a day and that seems to help add in some extra fat. And if you can tolerate the artificial sweeteners, you can use sugar free syrup for flavoring. I personally don't use them, I'm happy just with coffee and cream, no sweetener. Anyway, hope that…

Coffee is actually pretty good for you. I don't see how one small iced coffee is much of a problem. I can't imagine it would blow your calories for the whole day, so have one and enjoy it! :)

I don't use any of them personally. NutraSweet/Aspartame gives me migraines, Splenda messes with my stomach, and I'm allergic to Stevia. I read that some people who are allergic to ragweed can be allergic to Stevia because the plants are from the same family or something. Xylitol is the only one I've had any "success" with…

You can be my keto buddy! I'm on my second week now, and it's going great, but I could use more friends for inspiration and sharing tips and so forth. :)

Hello everyone! I'm 31 years old (almost 32 though). When I was younger I seemed to have no problems staying thin, even though I ate a pretty unhealthy diet a lot of the time (Fast food, snacks, sodas, etc.) Of course, it wasn't like I didn't eat fresh fruits and veggies at all, but being young and on a small budget I ate…

Hi! I'm in the same boat as you, not new to MFP but new to keto. You can feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like. :) I'm one week in now, and I feel great. I heard all these horror stories of the "keto flu" and killer carb cravers, but to be honest, that hasn't been an issue for me. I feel great, and the foods keep…

Hey there! I was also consistent with MFP in the past and lost 20 pounds, but then sorta lost motivation and gained back 14 of those pounds. So I'm back to lose that 14 I regained, plus another 20 to get down to my target weight. So far it's been almost a week that I've been consistent with my tracking. I would really love…

Welcome back! I'd love to add you as a friend on here. I was very active on MFP back at the beginning of 2012 and lost over 20 pounds, but then I stopped logging in and regained 14 of those pounds. So I've started logging back in for a week now, and so far so good! I'd love some more friends though, so we can motivate each…
