I recently starting low carb/keto...trying to keep carbs below 50. Been hanging around 20-30 these past couple of days. Cravings are the worst.

That is amazing!!! Congratulations!!!! You look great!!! Keep up the great work. One day and meal at a time. You got this!!!!

Woo Hoo!!! Congratulations!! You got this!! Keep up the great work!!

Well I am back on MFP and will dive into the forums. I have been on and off of MFP for years. My plan is to stretch myself and keep up with my eating, keep my carbs low (under 50, prefer 20-30) and up my walking. I have been averaging 5k-6k steps a day. I would like to stretch that to 8k. Today so far has not been the best…

Thank y'all so excited to be here with many wonderful people and learning this new lifestyle! I just did my first 5k and it was awesome. Came in close to last but I finished. I jogged maybe 3/4 a mile and walked the rest lol. Then they had Zumba right afterwards. It was journey to a cure for multiple myeloma. Was so muh…

I ordered mine from fitbit itself for about 20 bucks!

Hi Carrie!!! I am so proud of you for taking this step to a healthier you! Our stories are similar with our weight struggles. My highest was 320. I got down to 248, then had endometriosis and a total hysterectomy and gained up to 285 that's when I said no more and got back on here and started logging and actually joining…

Hi, my name is Melanie but my friends call me Mel, I'm 37 and have a little over 100 pounds to lose, I have lost before on my own but it came back, I then learned I had Hashimoto's thyroiditis disease. It basically means my body is fighting against itself. The doctor told me it would be hard for me to lose but I can lose…

I have been contemplating on buying this program. I am still up in the air about it because of the cost, but I feel the portion control would help me. hm...

You look fantabulous!!! You should be very proud of all your hard work. Gorgeous girl!!

I tend to drink my chocolate protein shake for breakfast and it curbs my chocolate craving. I also have like the dark chocolate granola or quest bars that I also use for snacks in moderation. I have a HUGE sweet tooth.

Is there going to be an April Mile Challenge? I would love to join in on one!

yes, this happens to everyone. I experienced it with my move and have struggled getting back on a schedule. I am now trying to log every day and make sure I do some kind of exercise. I have been drinking all my water and staying well trying to stay within my ranges. The key is small steps, last week for me was staying…

Just what I need, I'm in!

Never heard of that one...I am a huge fan of Isopure! It is the best and doesn't have that chalky taste. I like the beachbody shakeology but they are way too expensive. Pure protein is another good one as well.

WOW just absolutely amazing. You're such an inspiration!!! Every time I need some inspiring I look this up!!! Rock on girl!!!

My thought is anything with a drive thru is considered fast food. As for pizza I home-make mine. I do feel some of the nationwide "chain" pizza places would be considered fast food. According to Wikipedia: Fast food is the term given to food that is prepared and served very quickly, first popularized in the 1950s in the…

I personally enjoy replacing a meal with a shake just not my lunch. Most of the time it is breakfast but I have one for dinner at times also. I generally workout then have my protein shake, then a couple hours later a healthy snack like cashews or almonds. What all do you put in your shake? I have like fruits and/or peanut…

Oh man...I am so overwhelmed and don't know where to start. I was diagnosed about 2 years or so ago with Hashimotos thyroiditis. I recently learned about going gluten free. After reading all these threads I am still a little lost and confused. I will start with going gluten free. I do see an endo and they keep my numbers…
