One day a week - I eat food made by other people- I'm not going to force them to weigh all the ingredients - I make reasonable guesses and enter them. For standard food - I guess the weight. Entering an estimate for the day will stop me going totally out of control.

Cause the "experts" change their minds too often to keep track. I now eat high salt, high fat, low carb, lots of whole eggs and I have almost perfect blood levels, am the lowest weight and the fittest in many many years. Also - there is a mistake in thinking one diet is right for every person. Each if us has to be our own…

There is no such thing as clean foods

Thanks for the pics - it helps me keep going, I started a bit higher than you - quite some time ago. My goal about the same as you. Maybe another 30 lbs to lose as of today.

I think you have the underlying message

So true

2 lbs a week when I started - kept that up for 4 months with about 30 gr carbs per day I then started having more carbs [30-50] and it went to 0.25 to one lb per week for the last 5 months- overall average 0.9lbs per week I'm going back to 25 carbs a day to get a "kick"

I'm not there yet - but I worry about it- I'm addicted to seeing a new drop in weight. Maintenance is a bore.

What's clean?

I can relate to that

I was only walking four years ago- I had a fitbit - lasted 2 years good battery life. Lost it several times - drove ver it, glued it togther - turned me into a good walker. When I cracked the case in half, I then bought a fitbit one - still using it. Great for walking, steps climbed and sleep - simple to use, no fancy tech…

All I know is I build up my arm muscles more than I ever saw before from pushing hard and fast on the wheelchair and from "walking" upstairs by crawling backwards, but didn't lose an ounce of weight.

Getting cravings - i grabbed a square of 72% dark chocolate square - usually save that for end of day

For most people ....The more you exercise, the more hungry you become. The more hungry you become, the more likely you are to go over intake calorie goals e.g. subconsious cheating. Add to that overestimation of calories burnt and reliance on inaccurate trackers and you are on a slippery slope. I don't log any exercise.…

OK - done

Yeah - I think it was supposed to be 100 - I don't eat much meat - the rest of the family adds too much carbs to what they eat and its too hard to cook separate meals - I mostly eat cheese - but too much cheese has side effects - I might try adding more salmon/tuna/eggs - but that knocks up the calories - sigh

Yeah - my trainer would love me to go off Keto, his workouts and body knowledge are 10/10, but he tried keto and it made him sick

Scam from them ... and you jumping around from one system to another is going to make things worse

Based on my current weight - I've gone back in time and I'm back to being 34 - cut my age in half. No magic pills - just stubborn adherence to a boring diet where I know exactly what I'm eating.

Walking - 4 years ago I found 30 minutes on level ground exhausting, last year on vacation in Manhattan I was able to walk 12 hours with only a break for lunch. Now I also lift weights. I won't run till I get down to less than 20 lbs overweight - too much knee stress.

I agree - I went for a one hour semi-hike today - climbed hills equal to 30 flights of stairs- my Garmin says its 264 calories - which I assume to be a vague guess so I don't log it - I also assume I will under report my food - so it balances out. On days when I fell hungry from my workouts I might be losing more calories…

Protein is IMO way too high for low carb, do some research on possible kidney, heart and artery problems

Log and weigh carefully what you eat for a week - note the average carbs per day. Reduce by 10% for a week and see what happened. Repeat till you have a problem- then go back up 10% and stay there for a while. Then try again.

So if the OP asked how to stick to her suicide plan - we should help?
