Considering that you're eating 1900 calories a day, 4lbs in 6 weeks is a great loss. You can't outrun your fork, so if you want a faster loss you'd need to adjust your calorie intake. Given that you're breastfeeding, you should discuss all of this with your doctor or a dietician to discuss appropriate calorie intake levels…

Are you by chance running somewhere chilly? Colder weather can cause "asthma-like" symptoms when running because the cold makes your throat all mucus-y by irritating your bronchial tubes, mucus membranes, etc. This happens to me too! I'd suggest slowing down/lowering intensity, maybe using a face mask or scarf (I use one…

Also interested in knowing your online coach! It's always hard to weed through all the options to find a good coach and your results speak volumes :)

Folks take potassium supplements to help with muscle cramping as mentioned above. Additionally, folks on ketogenic diets often supplement Potassium (though usually through NoSalt) because the nature of ketogenic diets mean that they flush electrolytes out of your system, and so salts like sodium, potassium, and magnesium…

You've got this! (and kudos on the Brandon Sanderson reference)

Loving this long thread of lifting ladies! I come at it from both ends: I only own pants from Senita Athletics, because they all have giant pockets, and are cute and affordable. I also only use bluetooth headphones. Problem solved.

Surprised to see so many yes's on here! My understanding was that the going is wisdom states MFP's exercise databases heavily overestimate how many calories you burn exercising, and that activity trackers are also frequently way off. As a result, I personally don't eat back exercise calories except on rare occasions, and…

Came in here to agree with Walter: fork put-downs are the number one way to get abs.

I grunt, no shame, it's not something I can help. When you're struggling to push up those final couple of reps in your squat set, some sound is going to come out of your mouth. Do I scream like a wildebeest like the guy in that video you're quoting/ganking? Of course not. Do I totally make weird faces and "MMPH" noises…

I do keto as a lifestyle and love new friends!

Look at all these overachievers! 65lbs here. (But then, I started recently and have gone up from 45 pretty steadily!)

Incredible progress, especially with PCOS! Way to go!

OMG YES. It's like you put out the bat signal for one of my favorite recipes: This Cracklin' Chicken recipe from nomnompaleo.com is out of this world and really really easy to make. Just look at it!

Definitely looking for more active friends! I have some off days where I forget to log, but I log most days and could use more accountability, and I comment/like regularly.

Isn't it called Zombies, Run! ? I've had it for a few years, it's a blast and makes me look forward to running so I can progress through the story and build my base.

I eat a low cab, high fat diet. Eating fewer carbs won't make you lose weight, eating at a calorie deficit will. BUT! Eating fewer carbs and more fat/protein/veggies etc. will make you feel fuller for longer, and these foods (even fat) tend to be lower-calorie per oz. than the carbs you're going to eat, which makes it…

HI Mike! Fellow redditor here and long time user of reddit.com/r/keto, which I highly recommend. Feel free to add me if you'd like some support!

No.

BigT is right, you're likely not measuring your calories correctly. Are you counting the little things you pick on throughout the day? Measuring the weight in grams of the things you're eating? Or are you just eyeballing? There's a slim chance your body is retaining a bunch of water from not being used to eating so little…

What's worked well for me and a lot of other people is a low-carb diet with a calorie amount that's good for your Total Daily Energy Expenditure. Here are two good links: http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ http://reddit.com/r/keto This diet works especially well if you have more weight to lose. As a smaller person I use a…

Slimfast successfully made my poop smell like coffee. Otherwise, not really.

Diablo 3 here. Expansion's almost out!

I do a low carb diet (about 25 gram a day tops), this is a great resource: reddit.com/r/keto Feel free to add me if you'd like to look at my diary.

I have a diary listed at 1000 cals per day, with a low-carb diet, if that would help. [Edit]: P.S. Starvation mode is a myth for people with normal ranges of body fat.

Eli username: scru Location: Hollywood, CA Been ketoing for two years now for maintenance, loving it. Starting waist: 29" Current waist: 25.5" Goal waist: 24" (I don't do pounds, sorry guys)

Keto-er right here. Would love some new friends!
