Awesome!!!! How low did you keep your carbs??

I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was diagnosed in 2011 and it sucks! I still work a full time job and I'm looking for a job where I can work from home...not sure how much longer I can do this :neutral:

It depends....you can lose weight eating junk food BUT you won't necessarily be healthy. There are plenty of skinny people with diabetes, heart disease, etc. In order to be healthy, quality of food matters :)

You may wanna try this site http://vegetarianbodybuilder.com/187.html

From your home page click on goals and at the bottom you'll see change goals & you can make chages there :smile:

U can try this calculator http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

I have similar symptoms....I've had my thyroid tested & was told that it was normal...was diagnosed w/ Adrenal Fatigue by a Naturopathic Doc and my Primary doc said that is not REAL & dismissed it....after trying different methods & working out like crazy (I refuse to take prescription drugs if they can't figure out the…

Going 2 Costo or Sam's Club (I don't have a Costco) is a great idea. Also, as far as eating low carb, try eating starchy carbs about 45 mins after your workout & when u wake up & then eat lean protein & nonstarchy veggies the rest of the day...if u incorporate fruit, then have 1/2 starchy carb with 1/2 fruit with your meal…

U r my hero!

It takes the body 2 days to carb deplete and this is where the whole carb cycling comes from. So you would eat low carb M, T, moderate carb W, low carb Th, F, treat day Sa Low carb Su & repeat...

Also, you may want to pick up The Eat Clean Diet by Tosca Reno....I looked at your diary and it may help to add more REAL food options....really hope that helps...hang in there :)

Me too!

I've posted this link a couple of times http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm it can tell you how many calories you are suppose to eat a day...also, the suggestion of adding higher calorie healthy foods sounds like a great idea. Can't wait to have this problem; good job and congrats!

MFP's goals are way too low (I created my own macro goals)....you can try this site http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm....also, a good rule of thumb is when you eat lower carbs, it's best to increase your fat to help with satiety....if you eat higher carbs, it's best to lower the fat....protein should…

From what I've read, it depends on your body (soma) type...If you are an ectomorph (naturally thin, grew up thin but have put on weight) you can lose by eating more carbs than protein and less fat...If you are a endomorph (gains weight easily, probably grew up overweight) you would fair better on a higher protein, less…

Welcome! This is my 2nd week on the site so I'm a newbie too....start by being active on message boards and maybe blog about your day....also i don't really like working out but I know how I want to look so I stay focused on my end goal and that makes the workouts tolerable....u can also find an activity you like (dancing,…

You can try http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm to easily figure out your macros.....hope that helps

I didn't like it at first but I do now. I do add Truvia & fruit but sometimes I use it in a smoothie or I'll add hidden valley ranch packets and use it as a dip with veggies or use in place of sour cream....

You can try looking in to Paleo or Primal diets. They are low carb and maybe you can get some Paleo recipes. One site is http://www.marksdailyapple.com/

I really don't use either but I would choose a pat of butter because I try to eat minimally processed foods as much as possible

Friend me.....:flowerforyou:

I agree w/ stewpodasso

I'm trying to reach for veggies & fruit more

My legs, my curves & my dimples :)

Sugar & Starches....I think they may be making me sick anyway :(

U look AWESOME!!!! Very inspiring!

Just joined the group...I haven't beem diagnosed with MS but I just posted a blog for my bio on my profile; please read it....I think I may have MS. Many of your stories sound like what I'm experiencing....my hand is throbbing as I type this...
