awesome information, thank you so much.

Thank you Lillith.

Here is a "keto coach" question.... for you or anyone.. I am using testing strips to test for Ketosis....... one day it is very dark and I am thrilled, the next, it barely shows trace amounts. Is this normal and does this mean that I am not actually in Ketosis?

I too had an indulgent weekend......... this is day 3 of getting back on track..... any idea how long before I hit ketosis again? I am not registering yet...... 3-4 days sound right?? Staying under 25 carbs a day...............

I too am suffering from having a "free weekend" and regretting it! Wondering how long before I am back in ketosis and feeling ok. One thing is, this is a good lesson and one that I need to remember when faced with temptation..... not worth it!! UGH..........I should be back in ketosis in a few days, yes?

Thank you so much. GREAT article and great advice.

I am not finding "The scale is a lying liar pants"....... do you know how I search it out? I googled it and it led me back to mfp but not the actual article.

Thank you for your input, I am healthy as a horse so to speak....... 5" 10" muscular build. Just very frustrated. I will read that book/article. Thanks for the support and suggestions. I will let go of the scale and focus on how I feel..... You do look great and yes, 4 lbs. made a huge difference.

Calories 1400 Carbohydrates 18 g 5 % Fat 101 g 65 % Protein 105 g 30 % These are my current macros, can anyone tell me if I am where I should be? I am in ketosis but do not seem to be losing...... I "feel" like things are changing inside, but the scale is NOT moving.. ugh.

Calories 1400 Carbohydrates 18 g 5 % Fat 101 g 65 % Protein 105 g 30 % Can anyone tell me if my macros are ok? My calories where at 1600 but I dropped them because I am not losing at all..........

Thank you so much for you input, I will check out those apps. Really what I am hearing is stay the course and trust the process, yes? :) Thank you.

I can't do that...... just make sure you set yourself up for success. Have options around that are better for you. I love cheese and a juicy burger loaded with cheese hits the spot for me. Instead of chips I keep peanuts in the shell handy. I am a foody too and usually drinking has the same effect on me but I have lost 8…

Handsome, "fun/nice guy" look...

Emblu, thanks for the great article!!

Thank you ALL for the insight and suggestions. I will check into them. I am going to visit an actual running store in the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately, I have to go a couple hours out of town to do so but what the heck. If it helps.!!! Thank you thank you.

Great advice all! Thank you. I am in the same exact boat and bad habits. FIghting so hard to change my mind set. I know better. Problem is I don't follow through....... :(

Can someone share a simple, good, fairly low fat/carb protein shake recipe?

Hmmmm. Interesting.........

If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you!

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate the support and info!! Agree with your post.

You could get some workout tapes..... Jillian Michaels has some great ones. You could do inside....

Congratulations on recognizing where you were headed and stopping it . Great job and you should be proud!

Is that the calorie intake the program gave you?

WOW, incredible journey. Thanks for sharing. So inspiring............ You look fantastic!

I do low carb as well and more recently have been allowing myself dannon light and fit yogurt with Kashi go lean cereal in it. Low in calories, decent in carbs... more than I should be having but it is heaven!!!!!!!!!! I am still losing weight and feel like I am allowing a little indulgence.

Your before and after face pics aren't coming up for me but I am with the others, from your profile pics, you look amazing! Well done and if you feel stronger and healthier, be happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kudos!

It looks amazing, thanks for sharing!

agreed! Love it!~

I have a polar and love it!!
