I'm in after reading this: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2014-03/uosc-mac022814.php

I'm 5'4" & I started weight training with strong lifts (google it :), there is also a book called new rules of lifting for women and there are groups dedicated to both of those programs here on mfp. Good luck!

Fascinating!!!!

I'm very new, and have caught a few bugs since starting keto, so I don't think I've actually been deep into ketosis, but I've been eating some keto meals and tapering down my carb intake to prep for the real thing. I do targeted keto, so I have a banana before high intensity workouts (I teach Zumba). I tried Ezekiel bread…

Congratulations!!!! And that Lil diva in the pic looks very proud as well!! :))) you look so much healthier and younger!!

Thank you everyone!!:happy: :wink:

Awwwww thanks y'all xoxo:flowerforyou:

"...is based on providing a maximum of 20% of calories derived from carbohydrates, 30% of calories from fat, and a minimum of 50% of calories derived from protein." I thought I read it incorrectly, but it appears this Australian version goes by a high protein ratio. Do you think this was perhaps a typo?

Holy cow, that's incredible!!! Bravo, bravo!!

To be CLEAR.....I wasn't saying I believed that. I was merely asking if other ppl are approached with that statement when they tell ppl they're doing low carb. Geez

Ppl always bring up (in real life mostly) how Atkins died young of a heart attack, so good luck with that, basically.. :huh: anyone else get that?

Dude, you're looking fine as hell.

Thanks for all the posts this was very helpful!!! I'm starting on Monday. We're moving right now, and I feel overwhelmed, so I think Monday is best. :flowerforyou: thanks again!

I'm also looking for keto friends! Feel free to add me!

I get exertion headaches from lifting. I do 3x5 now because otherwise I feel like crap afterwards.. I also make sure I drink a lot of water during my breaks between sets.

You look amazing!!! Wtg on getting healthy young while your skin is still elastic and supple!! Your butt looks so good!!

Tagging for the great resources, thanks everyone!

Great job!!!

You are an ETP poster child! Incredible transformation and thanks for sharing your story! :flowerforyou:

Do you guys think that this is enough to maintain heart health? This and the hibbidy dibbidy, of course! lulz:smokin:

You're an inspiration! Thanks So much for sharing!

Umm like a character from Fantasia or sugar plum fairy :)

Yer darn right!!! Well said, I couldn't agree more with your attitude!! Excellent work!! You should be very proud!!! Bravo!

So awesome!!!! Bravo bravo!!!!!

Women start being very competitive and it's uncomfortable because i don't like engaging in it. Even the women in my own family :( sorry no witty funnyisms, this part really sucks for me.

I say the scale is a big fat liar because there's a less than 10# difference between the middle and most recent pic. I do a ton of Zumba and resistance training. 6 days/week I'm in the gym or in a Zumba class. I've only lost 9# since joining in February. 164.5 to 156# currently. I'm 5'4" and have a large frame on my upper…

Yessir..

I'm 5'4" and started in the high 160s. Maybe over 170, was too scared to weigh myself early on lol I weighed in at 154# this am, and I am not looking back!!! It's been slow for me, but I'm also strength training.

Incredible!!!! That's awesome!! Way to do it the natural way under dr supervision!!

My sister is totally doing this to me because I'm getting fit and she's eating maple bacon donuts and posting it on Facebook. She had a baby 6 months ago and hasn't really lost any of it. She's always been thinner than me so it's killing her that I'm looking smoking hot. It isn't the first time she's treated me this way…
