Hi everyone, I'm in my first week eating Keto, and have been in Ketosis for the last two days. Loving the results so far, and amazed by how smooth it's going! Looking for some Keto/Low carb friends, anyone can feel free to add me :)

Anyone that wants to add me, feel free! I could use some friends! dconnolly818@gmail.com

This!

Good Luck! I finished 30DS a few weeks ago and loved it! Don't be afraid to give yourself a little more time on levels if you need it. I ha started it 10 or so times and never finished, this last time around I gave myself four extra days a level with an added rest day(two weeks a level, following a three on and one off…

I haven't encountered that, and I'm so sorry that you have. I'd chalk it up to people being jealous that you are bettering yourself when they (probably)aren't. Focus on how you feel and what your good friends say and forget the haters. Keep up the awesome work!

I agree with hzliiz. I just finished 30DS a few weeks ago and I tried to just weigh in after each level. More importantly, take really good measurements and pictures. I didn't lose as much weight as I hoped, but lost way more inches so I didn't care about the scale as much. I also didn't take any before pictures at the…

Search the forums for 'Insanity results' there are tons of posts about it, it's a great program. Good luck!

This^^^^^^ Seeing these posts really makes me wish I had taken pictures, I'm on L3D3 and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Can't wait to start Ripped in 30 next!

Other then joining five years ago, I wish I had more/better before pictures. I also wish I knew my highest weight. I was so ashamed/ afraid of the number it would say so I didn't weigh myself for over a year, and had lost some before I bought a scale. Not that it matters much now, but it would be kind of nice to see my…

I don't think it exists. There is one video of the first six minutes but I think think that's it :( I looked the other day when I left my disk at home.

Oh, me too, I just didn't know how into detail everyone wanted me to go ;)

I'm going to bump to see some replies! That is one of my biggest concerns in losing weight. I"m pretty large in the chest department and am kind of terrified of losing my boobs. They balance out my body shape so I feel like I NEED them. Although, I wouldn't mind being able to workout in less then three bras.... Also, I…

30lbs by October would be very hard, but it is do-able. Though its worth mentioning that the healthier you are able to lose the weight, the more likely you are to be able to keep it off. Also, the more gradually you lose the weight, the better it will be for your skin. Good luck!

I agree, my first week logging and going to the gym I lost 6lbs. I went from complete couch potato and lord-only-knows how many calories a day, to an hour and half at the gym and 1300+exercise calories back. Also, cut soda completely. It was the perfect jumpstart. I knew it wouldn't keep up that way, but it was an amazing…

Right before I get in the shower in the morning before I've had anything to eat or drink and naked as the day I was born.The lower the number, the better it makes me feel, so yeah.

Very inspiring! I love that you thought to take pictures every 10lbs too, now that I'm starting to see some change myself I really regret that I don't have more pictures of the journey. You look great, keep it up!

...you drunkenly try to convince your boyfriend that you should have a baby just to use the name Stormageddon: Dark Lord of All.

I say yay, with an asterisk. It is wonderful as long as you are discrete about it. I once saw a woman breastfeeding in the food court at the mall with absolutely no concern for her modesty, absolutely everything was out there. Which is whatever I guess, except that this woman then made a HUGE scene because she caught a…

My goal right now is 150, but I am willing to adjust this as I go. I weighed 145 when I graduated High School, and while I would KILL to be that size again, I was never toned at all. I'm trying my best to make fitness the goal instead of weight loss, so I would 'settle' for higher weight if I'm happy with how my body looks.

Unless you were wearing a HRM, there really is no way to be 100% sure you've logged it correctly. You could do your best to figure out the total amount of time you were actually doing activity and log it as a similar activity? I used to try to log the calories from skiing near my hometown, and really did my best to…

Holy crap! Amazing amazing results!! So inspiring!

Your body looks great, but holy crap is the difference in your face INCREDIBLE!

Thanks for the tip! There was NO way I was giving up booze completely, so I've been drinking Vodka water with a lime. Good on the calories, not so much the taste. I'll have to check them out!

I've tried it, and am not opposed to using it, it is just the cost that throws me. Greenberry was my favorite, but I just cant afford to make it a daily meal(plus there's not one meal I was willing to give up EVERY day) so I'm using whats left of the bag I got as a sort of nutrient booster for a snack on days I don't think…

My fitness pal is in my top two most visited sites again! Its a small one, but one that shows I'm on the right track.

I've attempted it many times, making it to level three a couple of times before life gets in the way, I get lazy or just don't want to put myself through it(it is HARD when you are at the beginning of a level!) That being said, I'm currently on day four of level one, I keep trying it because even though I've never…

Amazing progress!! I'm on L1D3 and this definitely makes me want to keep it up!

Great reward, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Doctor Who! I've been using my old 'skinny' clothes as a reward so far, but pretty soon I'm going to have to come up with a new system, love reading everyone else's ideas!

I agree with the above posters who mentioned the 100 push up and the incline push ups. Other good things to try are planks and just getting into the push up position(even on your knees) and holding there with good form as long as you can, rest for 30 seconds and do it again. I would REALLY recommend doing something like…

Absolutely, unless you only drink water, you would be AMAZED at the amount of liquid calories you take in in a day. And calories are calories.
