Check out community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum-the-lcd-group if you're interested in low carb, they're a great resource. You may want to double check that you're accurately measuring your food when logging. A lot of people underestimate the calories that they're eating. A food scale was a big help…

100 lbs is definitely possible by October 2018. I'm currently down 108 lbs in just over 10 months. Walking daily was a big help to me as well, so keep it up!

Not cured, but managing it well with weight loss and low carb diet. I'm on no meds for the 'beetus, and just got taken off the 'preventative' ones for BP and cholesterol that my doctor put me on when I was diagnosed. A1C 5%, down from 6.9 3 months ago.

When I first started, I found it helpful to eat smaller, more frequent meals to prevent cravings. Budget for an evening snack would be my suggestion.

Exercise adds calories to your goal (although most people don't eat back the full amount as MFP tends to overestimate the calories in exercise). Based on the above, it should be: 1350 goal + 351 exercise = 1701 calories for the day, - 940 food = 760 remaining for the day. Don't worry too much about macros other than Carbs,…

I started logging on MFP in September of last year. In April I switched to low carb to help moderate my Blood Glucose when I was diagnosed as T2 diabetic. I found no appreciable difference in the rate of weight loss between my previous moderate carb diet and the low carb diet. If you're thinking of of going low carb simply…

How high are your overnight readings? It sounds like what's known as 'dawn phenomonem', which has nothing to do with eating low carb. https://diabetesdaily.com/learn-about-diabetes/understanding-blood-sugars/fixing-high-morning-blood-sugars-dawn-phenomenon/ When I was first diagnosed, my overnight readings were often…

I just finished the C25K and ran my first 5K race last week while I was on vacation in Iceland. I still hate running, but now I can hate it for a full 5K ;) When doing the program, I found it helpful to plot a 5K route using MapMyRun. I'd do the C25K workout, and then walk the remainder of the 5K afterwards each time that…

Is bone broth just an alternate name for boiling the bones to make stock, or is there a distinction that I'm missing?

B.M.I., or more specifically, people who will spout BMI without understanding that it's meant as a statistical tool for populations in general, and doesn't necessarily apply to individuals. This is more of a problem in the real world than on these forums, but you do still see it crop up here occasionally too. I'm 6'1, with…

Having been on both sides of this equation recently, I agree. I started logging/losing weight in September of last year eating moderate carbs. In February I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes and switched to a low carb diet to moderate my blood glucose. I have found absolutely no difference in the rate of weight loss between…

Welcome to MFP! Some great tips in the other responses. I'd add... 1. Get a food scale to make sure that you're logging accurately. 2. This is a marathon, not a sprint. There are going to be times where you don't eat well, don't let that derail you. The occasional bad meal or even bad day aren't the end of the world. Don't…

I've been eating Primal for about 6 months. The biggest changes that I've noticed: 1. Increased energy - I used to be wiped out in the evening when I got home from work, and now I this is no longer an issue. (although I'm sure that the weight loss and increased physical activity is a big factor with this as well). 2.…

Both are excellent programs. I'm currently doing Rushfit (just going into week 3), and I'm really enjoying it. Rushfit has mostly bodyweight exercises, and the only equipment needed is a set of dumbells (light/medium weight - JSP & the instructor don't use more than 20 lbs). Rushfit comes with a beginner, intermediate, and…

Yes.................this. Unless this so called "reasonable caloric deficit over time" is endorsed by Dr. Oz I can't get on board with it. :grumble:

Yes, it's not uncommon to plateau for awhile or go up in weight some weeks. Try not to worry about it. One of the things that I wish that I'd done when I started out losing weight was to take my measurements. The first time that I hit a plateau it really bothered me until I realized that I'd gone down a full notch on my…

I doubt that bread is the culprit, but if you're curious try cutting it out for a month and see if it helps. I do have a wheat/gluten sensitivity, and cut grains from my diet in September. While this has certainly helped with...other issues...I've found no difference when it comes to weight loss. I was losing weight at…

D!ck Hertz, who is a butcher that works at Beeton Meats....I kid you not.

Yes, I usually have a Bulletproof coffee first thing in the morning on days that I'm working.

I agree with this. Trying to motivate someone else to lose weight can be a tricky thing, and it's very easy to overstep and cause resentment. If you're going to be successful, you really need to find your own motivation. For me it was when I realized that I was avoiding social situations with friends because I was…

Me too, but since I'm a guy that's a good thing :bigsmile: I have noticed lately that sitting for long periods of time now is uncomfortable. I guess that I got used to all of the extra padding. Sitting through an entire movie was very uncomfortable the last time that I went. Maybe I just need to find a theatre with better…

The Whole 30 challenge is a great place to start if you're interested in Paleo. Personally, I've been following Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint, which is similar to paleo, but does have some differences. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/welcome-to-marks-daily-apple/#axzz2ILa8Vz4w I started following the Primal Blueprint in…

I have a phobia of wasps and hornets, but bees don't bother me in the least. The odd thing to me is that I've never been stung in my life.

On the 'My Home' tab in the 'Check In' section click on the 'edit previous entries' link at the bottom of the page. You can edit starting weight and any of your previous entries if you'd like.
