I had a fat bomb one evening and the next morning I checked to see if I was in Ketosis and I was not. Has anyone experienced this?

everyone's body is different - I found out the hard way. I am pre-diabetic and really concerned about developing full diabetes. I was told the way to reverse it by my doc is to eat a high protein/high fat/low carb plan. I am trying my best to start and stick to it today. I also joined the YMCA and plan to attend regular…

I believe I will give this a try - replace 2 meals. I will try shakeology for breakfast, Atkins shake for lunch since I do not have a blender at work and have a low carb dinner. Throw in a few snacks between meals such as almonds, hummus. I hope it works. Would like to do this from now until December 23rd.

I plan to do low carb as well. I really like the dietdoctor.com website.

Add me too. Turned 50 in January and I cannot seem to get handle on this. A number of issues with various hormones but I'm back on and trying to lose 30 lbs.

@ Jdad - Actually, that does not always work for everyone.

In the grand scheme of things, this is probably not that serious of an issue. Relationships are tough, life is tough - choose your battles...

Thanks for all the tips. I am 5'3" and weigh 165. I will increase my net calories to 1400- 1500 to see if that helps, I admit I am afraid! lol. I have not always eaten my exercise calories back so, I'm netting less than 1200 on several days....

Thanks for all the help everyone. - 165lbs - 1200 calories - Calculate calories with Polar FT4 HRM and I use a fitbit - I measure everything and track everything - I lost the first 18 lbs with Weight Watchers; have not lost anything since joing MFP - I participate fully during cycle class in and out of the saddle I'm not…

Agree - lots of petty behavior....

Well Sarah, I see I'm not the only one. Let me know if you find the magic weapon that works!

Wonderful - Congratuations!

Not sure about the benefits available to you through your employer; however, if they offer EAP (Employee Assistance Provider) services, these counseling services are typically free of charge. Could be deeper issues that are causing the panics etc. Good luck to you and take care....

I want to begin a program. Trying to locate the guidelines and instructions for starting the Couch to 5K - for some reason not having any luck. Any advice on websites, please share. Thanks

Good information, Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks everyone. I am certainly not giving up and will keep at it, at times is so darn frustrating!! :explode: :blushing:

I'm trying to go to monthly weigh in. I was getting very discouraged by lack of results when weighing myself daily and recording it weekly. I decided to make a change when i got so discouraged with lack of progress that I indulged in 1)Suzy Q, 2) A little Debbie snack cake, and 3) a piece of cake from the kroger deli ALL…

Sometimes I feel discouraged and dislike what I see in the mirror. It is during those times that I think about some of the more positive things around me. What a blessing to wake up in the morning and simply have the strength and stamina to even get through a belly dancing class! What is beautiful is the awareness that you…

You look great. Thanks for posting. Very inspirational!!

Joining the low carb lifestyle. I have been eating entirely too many carbs and the lack of weighloss shows. Day 1. I know that typically it takes the body 3 days to really adjust and that's when the body no longer craves sugar - - looking forward to that! Anyway, 1 week from now, I hope to report back weightloss success!

Thanks everyone, helpful to know what works for others. I've only been on MFP for 11 days now; netting 1200-1250 per day. Let's see how it goes!
