I started Keto on the 13th and have lost 5 lbs (yeah yeah, water weight) but more significantly my blood sugar levels are now in the normal range. I am Type II diabetic and have been struggling lately with levels of 10-11 mmol. The last couple days have seen my blood sugar range from 4.8 to 5.4. I need to add a bit more…

I have gallstones and have surgery scheduled for next month. My attacks don't sound anything like how other people describe. I told my doctor that I have some cramping and a little nausea. She said that was what an attack was. I was expecting to feel horrible pain, but I don't. It's just annoying more than anything. I am…

Wow, fantastic work! My journey is a lot like yours. I'm down 36.5 lbs but started at 228. What a difference 35 lbs makes, eh? Congrats!!! Let's do this!

Fantastic progress!!! You look fabulous, and I'll bet you feel it too. :-) Keep up the great work!

I love celebrating the little things... a bunch of little things add up to a big thing - a healthier/happier you! I'm celebrating that the number on my scale started with a 1 today. I'm pretty sure its been about 12 years since that's happened last. :-)

The rattle of the industrial air conditioner overhead in one ear, and Arctic Monkeys "Cornerstone" in the other.

I have 4 Arctic Monkeys albums on my iPhone that I put on random. I find that "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I Am Not" and "Favourite Worst Nightmare" are great for working out as most of the songs on each are fast paced. Just when I feel I'm burning out, "I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor" or…

I just peeked at your diary. You are not eating nearly enough calories and are exercising off the ones you ARE eating. Very dangerous! No wonder you are irritable! Have you not seen the warnings that MFP gives you when you go under 1200 calories a day consumption? You are putting your body into starvation mode and it will…

I bought a digital scale at Walmart for under $20. Not as expensive as you think... and very worth the money!!

3 lbs is not really a weight gain that you should stress about. Your body weight fluctuates throughout day/month... could be water retention, cyclic related bloating, different time of day weigh-in. Be consistent. Weigh yourself once a week at the same time... wearing the same clothes if you can. Better still, get out a…

My favourite afternoon snack - 1/2 cup cottage cheese with fresh blueberries and a half ounce of chopped walnuts all mixed in. SO DELICIOUS!

Me, personally, I use teaspoon/tablespoon for measuring butter, mayo, dressing. I also use online conversion tools a lot. ex. 1 oz = 6 tsp.

It's always in the last place you look. I'll add you as a friend. I love helping motivate people. Do you have any short term or long term goals that you are working towards? I just hit my first goal today... losing 10% of my body weight. I find it helps if you set little goals along the way.

Hi there - looking at your diary, I don't see you going over too much or often with your calories... so I don't think you are eating too many of those... however I don't know if maybe you want to adjust your goal to give you less calories per day. If you are going for 1 lb loss per week vs 1.5 lbs or 2 lbs per week. I did…

Hi there! I'm 47, turning 48 this August and have about 65 lbs to lose. I am really enjoying the journey - discovering new foods, exercising, figuring out what foods to eat to hit all my targets. It's sort of a game - at least that's how I am viewing it - which makes it more fun to do. This is the longest I've stuck with…

I started back on MFP 3 weeks ago and wish I'd started earlier.... oh well. My motivation is that in 1 week and 2 days I am in a play - "Calendar Girls" and if you know the story (based on real life, was also made into a movie starring Helen Mirren) it is 6 middle-aged and older women doing a nude calendar to raise money…
