I’m on week 3 of IF/Low Carb. I am down 24lbs (yes I realize it was mainly water weight but I’ll take it! ) I try and keep my carbs under 20 net and I do a 16/8 daily fast. I drink at least 3L of water daily which has been my biggest challenge since I’m not much of a drinker. I also try to aim for 30 min of walking daily.

Am I missing the recipe? All I see are pictures

Starting weight: 291lb Current weight: 254lb Goal weight: 191lbs I just keep plugging along.... having some thinspiration MFP friends sounds great! Feel free to add :)

Alright ladies, count me in! Feel free to add me :) I’m Kari, I’m 38 and am aiming to lose 100+lbs.... currently have lost 37 so I’m on my way.

Go into your settings, select goals and manually change your macros

I had no idea where to begin. Lots of internet searches... playing around with my meals etc and here I am dropping weight like it’s hot and finally feeling more at ease. I still struggle with the fat intake. I bought MCT oil which if you can stomach it makes things quite easy but for the life of me my digestive system says…

I have 2 dear friends that have had this procedure done. The first had a sleeve first which worked for about a 50lb loss but she gained it all back and she ended doing a second surgery, gastric bypass. She again lost some weight but has gained it all plus more. My second friend went straight to the gastric bypass... she…

Don’t over do it. Take small steps and build. I personally found that if I go crazy, I get sore or I burn out and then slip back into old habits. You are doing such a fantastic job! Remember it took years for that extra weight to get there so it’s going to take time for it to come off. Keep up the great work ❤️

I am absolutely in awe of your determination. Keep up the great work! I am 20lbs down out of 100lbs.

Holy moly!! Fantastic job!

So I just want to bump this as I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out this fat issue. Avocado Oil, MCT oil which I take twice daily (28 grams of fat right there), I made some fat bombs as well. I’m getting over 100grams of Fat in daily and my macros are currently 70-75% fat, 20-25% protein and 5-10% carbs

You’ve got this!!! Who cares if you fall off, get back up and try again. If you keep trying there will be more good days then bad ones :)

What I recommend is you meal Prep. Take a day you have off and cook your next weeks meals. That way you just grab, reheat and eat. I hate cooking bacon so I cheat and buy precooked from Costco, lol. Eggs take no time to whip up.

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2-3 bacon... I scramble the eggs with 1T of avocado oil, tea with stevia and 1T of MCT Lunch is usually tuna lettuce wraps or taco salad (2 cups shredded lettuce, 4-5oz medium ground beef, 2 T medium salsa, 1-2T High fat sour cream and 1/3 cup of shredded cheddar). Dinner Protein of some sort... chicken…

I'm in the same boat. Started on Coversyl and my heart rate just wouldn't come down. I'm 38 yrs old. Resting HR was 95 and the moment I exerted myself in anyway, it shot up. I was walking at 3 mph on a treadmill and it shot to 187. Back to the doctor I go, and like you,placed on a Betablocker (metroprolol). That seems to…

I had thyroid cancer and a complete thyroidectomy. I put on A LOT of weight and find many tasks exhausting. I have had the best luck with a Keto diet. I exercise in multiple small bursts. 5 min here, 10 minutes there. Where there is a will, there is a way! I’ve lost 20lbs so far :)

So today I made the following and it was yummy. Bacon wrapped meatloaf 1) 1lb Ground Beef Seasoned meat with salt, pepper, a sprinkle of red peppers and garlic powder 2) Flatten on foil 3) add 1/4 block or about 63g of cream cheese 4) Add 1/2-2/3 shredded cheese 5) Roll into Yule type log using the foil 6) Wrap log with 6…

I was always told that as long as your fat intake is at least double that if your protein, you’re doing good. My macro’s are set at 70 % fat, 20% protein and 10% carbs. I don’t stress if I’m over one day here or another there. Just look to see where you can make adjustments in your diary :)

Definitely see a difference! Way to go! Ignore that damn scale, the proof is in your pictures.

I start my day with a cup of coffee (I hate coffee btw) 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, 2 tablespoons whipping cream and 2 teaspoons of swerve. I place it in a blender and whip it all up.

Have a coffee or tea with1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon coconut oil. If you like cream add whipping cream to the mix. I start my day with that and it gives me about 35g of fat! Look up fat bombs as well. There are so many different types.

Feel free to add me as well. I'm only 8 days in but would love the extra support!

Hi there and welcome from another newbie :) I have been doing Keto for 7 days now. When you log your food into my fitness pal you log each ingredient. There is an option of meals... where you list every ingredient and then it totals it all for you. This is handy if it's a normal weekly meal that you plan to have often. It…

So today I'm doing a bit better on the fat consumption. I added a tablespoon of coconut oil to my protein shake this morning and olive oil to my scrambled eggs and bacon for lunch. My lunch had 40g of fat by itself!! Woot woot

Way to go!

I can see them and you look fantastic!

Wowza! You look great.
