Yesterday and today I have felt so much better... I definitely think it was the salt. My wee still smells really sweet though and I still have a slight headache but I had a really late night so that could be down to that. I woke up feeling normal so that's a really good sign and I have energy again. Thank you everyone.…

I'm 5ft 6 and weigh between 10stn 12 and 11stn 2lb (my weight fluctuates day to day) so sometimes I'm in the over weight category for BMI and sometimes I'm healthy. I also have a large frame and will never be petite. I tend not to take any notice of BMI any more, nor of the scales. I'm not over weight at all I don't think…

Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate all the advice!! I dropped my water intake today and upped my salt and ate a bit more.. Was hard to do as I'm never hungry or picky on low carb! I was drinking around 14 cups of water a day. I've felt a lot better although headache is still lingering in the back ground.. I've…

I've tried a cup of beef stock made with a cube... I drink heaps of water but I'm also really retaining it these last couple of days as well. I'll get some supliments.

Hi. I'm new to the group too!! ☺️ shall add you if that's ok

When*

I wondered if it had something to do with those things rather than just keto. I've up'd my salt today although I thought I was getting plenty. What are good ways to supplement these? Why my energy peeks mid day I'm buzzing, it just doesn't last.

Same here. Cooking diff meals or taking the carb portion out of mine!! And cheeses is good!! Thank you very much ☺️ x

Same here dasher... Thanks guys ☺️

They feel really fatigued rather than workout sore. I think I'm around ovulation when I do usually retain water but never this much. Could it be holding more because of workouts and diet?

And only half of my post posted

Thanks. Shall stay clear of that then

I haven't seen one... I was actually wondering if I should do. Thanks.. Maybe it's worth a shot!

I've started Jillian Michaels body revolution and logging, weighing and measuring again. I'd been doing my own thing before this. I used to log a while back when I first lost all my weight so thought I'd give it ago again.... Even though last time, before I came off mfp, I'd been stuck at 11stn for a good few months. I'll…

I've only just started logging again to see if it helps any so my diary is empty at the moment. My food portions are pretty good and my meals are healthy. I've been through this process time and time again and I've used all this equipment to help and it's not done. I used to be quite heavy and for the last two years,…

Was wondering*

Thanks. I really appreciate the advice. If I am not building muscle then I must be burning fat as my muscle is much closer to surface and noticable. I really do have to get my head out of the scale issue. I actually don't mind being the size I am now as long as I am toned. :)

Ok... going to dive in to some strength... how many days a week would anyone suggest? Also how much cardio too? I am so nervous of bulking up and going bigger again but I have to give it a try. I did want to wait till I got to 10 stone (my goal) but it's not happening is it. My body obvs has other ideas lol!! (Also think…

Thank you for all the advice. I know I have body image issues that I need to deal with too... finding that harder than most things. I thought I was way off with my body fat % need to figure out how to use those scales properly ha!! I do half an hour to an hour cardio most days... running, dancing, arobics.. anything…

I tried protein only for a few weeks and even went into ketosis and nothing.

Thanks. I am going to try to stretch more and get more water in me... Shall look into the pickle juice too! Thanks :) It is strange as it is different to the heat i feel while working out and seperate from the usuall soreness for a day or two. Shall give your suggestions a go and keep an eye on it :)

I done it every day purly because i didnt realise you should have a rest day. But when i done riped in 30 i realised that yup.. A rest day is good as even jillian says do five or six days and then take a rest day or two. But i think working it in with cardio us a great idea. I built so much muscle but lost no lb's .... I…

Hey Feel free to add me. This site is such a massive help. I have lost 22lb so far (15 of which since i started logging) Always nice to have some friends to help each other a long the way. I'm still learning but i log everyday.. The good the bad and the ugly (yeah that means the sly chocolate i try get away with lol)...…

Having friends on here helped me when i had no motivation... So feel free to add me :) always good to have people to share this stuff with :)

I have the opposite problem... My mind automatically goes "oh you're just saying it to be nice because you know i am trying!" so i kind of relate. Sometimes reciving compliments is hard. But we should just accept them for what they are... People know loosing weight is a big thing and their compliments are their ways of…

You have done an amazing job and you should be very proud of yourself :)

I am defo going to start using my fitness pal again and logging everything i eat. I shouldnt have stopped. What you say makea perfect sense. I am really happy that my muscles are becoming more defind and i feel fitter and healtheir... Just the stupid scales seem to have the ability to bring me down!! So ditching them as…

Wow thats amazing. Well done you. Thanks for sharing your story. I am defo not giving up! :) well... I am on the scales.. But not on the being healthy. (i also bought new scales ha..)

Thanks for all your feed back. Really appreciate it. I will try somethings suggested and see how that goes. I am thinking it may be a muscle v. Waight thing too like a few have said as i am developing definition lines in stomache from abb work outs and my other muscles on my body look more defind too. Will give a few…

Very true tho, i dont take my scales with me through life "hi i am vicky and i waigh..." I feel better in myself so i should just be greatful for that and the fact i am tonning up and not focus on a…
