Thanks so much for the links! Sometimes I just can't do eggs or meat in the am, so a shake is a good option for me.

Can anyone recommend a good protein powder/meal replacement that is keto approved?

Thanks for posting all the helpful links Mary!!! Can't wait to start. :)

Congratulations!!! You look fantastic! That after picture smile says it all!!!! :)

:D

Has she tried hip thrusts? I second anything Brett Contreras puts out!!! I have always had a flat backside, since doing strong curves and especially hip thrusts I have developed a booty. Definitely worth checking out! These are some before and afters: https://bretcontreras.com/testimonials/

Congratulations!!! You look great and thanks for sharing! :)

WOW, what a transformation!!! You look fantastic! :)

Awesome job! You look so fit and healthy!!! Wonderful transformation, and its nice to see you did all this over a period of time being consistent and persistent! :)

Awesome Job! You look great! Your last picture is pretty funny! :D

I still weight myself about every 3 weeks to just keep tabs, but I mainly go by how my clothes fit and how much my love handles shrink. ;) I track, but use TDEE instead of the MFP calculations. I find the scale unpleasant as well.

I don't have any pictures (wish I did), but it took about 2 months for my bf to notice a difference and about 3 months for me to notice. I hip thrust about 2-3 times a week as heavy as I can along with other glute exercises. Honestly it's the best and my favorite strength move!!! I have always had a flat bum, but now it…

You look fabulous! Great job!! :)

FANTASTIC Job!!!! :)

I don't use it for weight loss, it has helped tremendously with inflammation I get in my knee! I think it's a great supplement for overall health and can be beneficial, but I've never noticed it help with weight loss.

I have the same stats as you, and I'm doing strength training 3 days a week (upper and lower split) and cardio 2-3 days. I have found that lifting has really made me look smaller than I actually look according to my weight. Plus I'm actually growing a bum! I'm not too concerned with my weight on the scale, more so how I…

Awesome! You look ten years younger!! Keep up the good work! :)

I wish I had really absorbed this in the past! I would work out until I was ragged, but over eat junk while making no progress. Something I need to focus on now. Lifting will help with body composition and you may not need to lose those last 10 pounds. Try googling body composition comparisons with the same scale weight.…

WOW! Just amazing! Your absolutely stunning!

YES!!!! This is so true! Hahaha

I had done WW back in my early twenties with a girl I went to school with. We both did well in the beginning losing about 10-15 pounds. Looking back the reason it seemed easy and convenient was that everything I ate and tracked was "packaged." It was much easier to eat chips, bread, frozen meals and fast food than measure…

Awesome, Awesome Job!!! Such and inspiration!

I'm in the same boat! This will be my second time around with MFP. Ideally 40 pounds would be a great goal for me. I just added you as a friend. We got this!!

I just got my scale yesterday, and let me tell you... its life changing!!! After reading some articles on here about weighing and how most suggested serving sizes are off, I knew I had to be more accurate. I now realize I was definitely going over my calories for the day following what labels suggested instead of weighing.…

Fantastic job! All that hard work paid off, you look great! :)

Now excuse me as it's almost dinner time. This requires me to make a sacrifice to the God of Dairy, meditate and reflect on my Metabolic Fairy and my treatment of her, summon the spirits of Carb and Protein, and then make a sacrifice later in the day to Charmin, the divine entity of waste. (Not a jab at anyone other than…

This whole thread trying to disprove each others "methods" is why I just lurk on here. There's always that fear that someone is going to make you feel terrible for how you're going about this weight loss journey. Can't we all just be happy that someone is having success and feeling good about themselves? I've done both…

OMG Don't DO IT!!!! I was on a road trip with my bf this last fall and I had some epsom salt for soaking a blister. We were both constipated from the travel schedule and had read on the back of the bag that it could be used as a laxative. I figured maybe I'll take just a little... well I must have taken too much and the…

I love that there are others out there that run regardless of the jiggling and some bouncing and rubbing! I love running and I've done 2 half marathons and numerous 5K's and other middle distance racing. Although when I tell people that I run long distances, I can tell they think I'm lying! I have a deceiving athletic…
