Just starting Keto tomorrow....!!! I set up the macros already and I'm nervous. I's going to be hard. Ive been a low fat high protein girl all my life. Unfortunately I also love bread, potatoes and chocolate too, so I think I will be in for a difficult few weeks. I am looking for friends to keep me motivated and suggest…

Ermm , I am 55 not 56.... I lost count :)

Hi all, I am Kim 56, and I live in Switzerland. I am returning to MFP after a long break. I am now at my heaviest EVER. I am determined to change my lifestyle permanently after seeing my sister benefiting almost miraculously ( in so many ways) from the Ketogenic diet. I am in the UK at the moment visiting her on vacation.…

I have 2.NSVs I am no longer , according to the charts, obese. YAY! Only 33lbs to go before I reach upper limit of "normal" range. I wore a dress I have not been able to fit into in 3 years and my neighbour actually gasped when she saw how much smaller my upper arms have become. :happy:

10 weeks in 16 pounds down. Benefits so far; not breathless walking up stairs less tired. Hoping for improvement in cholestrol and blood pressure figures , really hoping snoring will cease or improve. Unfortunately not stopped craving certain foods yet, and maybe never will. I might have to accept that butter and me are a…

porridge, cranberries and skimmed milk

you look taller and so elegant. Well done.

Wow! you look fabulous. SOOOOO well done. You look fit, relaxed confident; you are, for SURE, going to reach your goal. Congratulations.

Hi there, I'm in Zurich Switzerland. I'm at work wishing I wasn't... It's 3.37pm and 23 degrees and sunny.

thanks for info

thanks for the recipes!

Cityjane: I am interested doing the face and neck exercises. Areas for my focus would be similar to you; the lines from corner of mouth down, jawline and under the neck. i have looked on you tube and there are such a lot to choose from... have you got any recommendations?

all sound fantastic.. thanks for sharing

Linnelai, Iike you I know it will take time. Slow and easy wins the race. As Mary says, this is a place where you can offload without boring everyone around you. To change my bad eating habits I will need to be either thinking about food or exercise very carefully for most of the day. If I talked about it as much as I…

Oh forgot; I have found a new oil; that great for adding flavour. Rape seed oil ( canola) with lemon grass and ginger... fantastic! . I have tried it with chicken and pork fillet so far, as a marinade, but is intended to be used as a stirfry "wok oil" It's quite strong so you only need a very small amount. Anyone in…

Lin; I am so happy for you; your joy shines through your words and acts as fantastic inspiration for me. Thanks so much for posting it really gives me more motivation to keep going. Barbie.. I am certainly with you with the abstinence; remember Butter IS the enemy ( 48 hours now… yes I am counting) DeeDee I cleaned out my…

A will to succeed is definitely what is needed, especially if you know you are in it for the long haul. It is good that you have someone to guide you through the exercise and keep you motivated on a personal level. I see you have kept your favourite foods. How do you manage to keep control? I have a weakness for butter on…

Thanks to Melsauntie for the warm welcome... you are my first friend.... Your message really made me laugh.. yes I do have problems walking up stairs and not just with creaky knees. Recently, I have noticed there is a relationship between increasing waistline and decreasing brain cells.. My house is very narrow and tall (…

Hi everybody, I am Kim, a new member, just a week now and I am really loving this site. I appreciate the chance to join a group of similar minded folk (50+) to help keep up my motivation to lose about 80lb. I have no idea long long that is going to take but I expect a long time. My goals for April are. To log all I eat…

I ate way too many cats yesterday but i'm trying to claw it back today.

just bought quinoa for the first time too... thanks for posting this question!

I have just joined MFP and would like to join the challenge. I would like to lose 3 kg. by July ( I have 20kg to lose)
