Hi. Just started keto 10 days ago. Going strong but no success yet. Feel free to friend me. I’m in fir the long haul. Looking to lose 30 lbs.

New to Keto ... not quite there yet, but on my way. Starting 142. Current 138. Goal 100-115 (5'0" tall) SW 2/28 142 3/2 139.4 3/4- 138.8 3/11 3/18 3/25 3/31

I used it last year along with topiramate and metformin and lost around 20 lbs in say 2 months, but stopped and then lost my focus with family stress ... trying again now but I only have 1 month supply.

Use a paper liner tho - muffin tins are hard to scrub egg out of! BTW, this site link has a bunch of other recipes that sound great too.

I've been researching this a bit too as I started a diet mid January and lost 10 lbs in 1 month, but the next 2 weeks found my self at loosing only 1 lb a week - slow going. Most of what I read argues CICO is the only way to lose weight and too few calories messing up your metabolism isn't true. However, my dr. said it…

Theres this book called Petite Advantage Diet by Karas and he goes into a lot of details about why cardio kills and the way to go for petites is weight training and recomposition. Lets see if I can do a chapter report here ... 1) cardio can destroy joints 2) excessive cardo messes immune system 3) some people don't…

Did your dr put you on the 5 meal plan? Versus the 2 big meals you were talking about? The Phentermine and Topiramate are hard to handle for the first week - at least for me - it wrecked my sleep, but after that I'm doing fine with them and even if I miss a pill, I'm ok. The Topiramate at dinner helps me not eat/drink…

POTS is most commonly known for causing dizziness upon standing. In some cases, patients actually faint when trying to stand, earning POTS the nickname of “the fainting disease”. However, dizziness and fainting are just a few of the many often debilitating symptoms POTS patients battle on a daily basis. Additional symptoms…

Hey Sarahrusse_ I'm not a doctor, but am familiar with that symptom ... I'm sure it can be a symptom associated with many different things, but in my case it is associated with POTS. Both my daughters and nieces have POTS - Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. There are many symptoms which may be associated with it,…

OMG ... you are the people I've been looking for. Please add me in. 5'0" I had crept up to 142 in recent years and lost down to 118 (see my profile pic) but slacked off and now sadly I'm back up to 132 and working my way back down with a goal of 110.

SW: 125 GW: 110-115 I'm a shorty, too!

Hey - friend me. Doing the same. First week using it.

So I lost 2 lbs in first week. I was a little disappointed, but its in the right direction anyway. Keeping my total calories to around 1000 and trying to burn 400+ cals on eliptical at the gym most days for a net of 600.

I've been using it for 2 weeks and so far so good. I feel the slendesta hunger blocker does work for me. I love the snack bars for mid morning snack too!

AARP said 5'0" women should weight 100 lbs. For each inch over 5'0" add 5 lbs. For small frame you can deduct 10% and for large frame you can add 10 lbs. That would put my goal weight at 110 as I am 5'0 with a large bone structure.

Hey are you still out there?

Hi all - I just (yesterday) starting Belviq. I would love to find a myfitnesspal support group for using this product. In my mid-40's, I started packing on 15-20 lbs with a sedentary desk job, 3 kids, and too busy for exercise, but didn't modify my diet. Plus, metabolism was probably naturally slowing down. About 2 years…

Cushman, cushman, cushman ... I can't believe as focused as you are, determined, successful, etc. that you are actually going to play mind games with yourself and not weigh yourself until some undetermined time. Go ahead, be strong, step on the scale and check out the damage. 1-2 lbs could probably be attacked with a lot…

See this web site: http://www.acsm.org/about-acsm/media-room/acsm-in-the-news/2011/08/01/metabolism-is-modifiable-with-the-right-lifestyle-changes What I think this says is that for woman at resting/normal state, you figure 10 cals per pound of body. Then if you exercise, you would eat back those calories. Additionally, as…

I think the 1200 calories a day assumes a 120 lb woman. http://www.acsm.org/about-acsm/media-room/acsm-in-the-news/2011/08/01/metabolism-is-modifiable-with-the-right-lifestyle-changes

You may want to try calorie cycling. 2-3 days low, and one day high. It confuses your body's metabolism a bit and then you will see a drop in weight after the high day. I was trying to stick to 1000 calories net. It worked for the first 3-4 months, but then did not work for the next 3 months. I just increased my net…

Hey - you are in good company taking guidance from cushman5279 - she has had real success! I like her suggestion to start with yourself and let the others follow your lead - you can't live their lives for them, they have to make choices themselves and given your good example perhaps their choices will be good choices. I…

Any petite mesomorphs out there?

14 wks ... 16 lbs. I am afraid the next 15 won't go so fast!

Same for me -- I just dropped to the 16 lb mark and felt so good that when we went to my Mom's for a Sunday dinner (and we hadn't been out there in a long while) I had a small portion of everything ... kind of like Easter or Thanksgiving! KFC breast, pork n beans, mac n cheese, mac salad, potato salad, some chips, 2 lite…

Hi - I'm interested to hear how you came out of the plateau?

Try at least one apple a day - really helps! Don't forget plenty of fiber!

I was 9 months pregnant with my third child, living in NJ and visiting my parents in VA. I was taking a bath that morning when my sister called out that the TV news said a plane hit one of the Twin Towers in NY. Being from NJ, I jumped out of the shower, quickly did my best to wrap me and my 9 month big belly in a towel…

Hi - I actually love soda too - I am a die-hard coke drinker. But once I started my diet 2 months ago, I gave it up for the duration and have not had a sip since. There are simply too many calories in it for me and I have to give up a lot of food in order to replace it with one or two cokes a day.
