Hey - Keto is high fat, moderate protein and low carb. It's recommended to start off with 20 net carbs or less but you can have up to 30 and in fact some people can go as high as 50 net carbs without being kicked out of ketosis. I would highly recommend visiting the Keto subreddit over at Reddit and read the side bar as it…

Just wanted to add that since starting Keto my period is back and like clockwork every single month.

I too have PCOS and have lost 76lbs over the last 7 months doing Keto. Keto is great for PCOS symptoms and Keto is the absolute easiest lifestyle change I've tried - I'm Keto for life now. Check out /r/Keto on Reddit for more information :)

I can completely relate! I have lost huge amounts of inches all over my body, but weight is on the scales goes up sometimes and when it goes down, it goes down S L O W L Y - I have lost about 3 inches off my stomach in about 1 month, but I've dropped 1 measly pound! lol How your clothes fit is a WAY better tool for…

Hey Guys, Thanks for your responses. To give you more background, I am very overweight but I am currently 50lbs down from 434lbs. I was, up until yesterday, eating 1800kcals a day, which is less than MFP recommended. On top of that I have been doing the following at the gym: 15 mins warm up on treadmill, power walking 20…

Interesting - I was just about to post the same question! I had a look online and they are mighty expensive! I am looking for one that I can input my weight, height and age and for it to tell me how many calories on average I've burned and on top of all that, I want one that is known to be fairly accurate. Oh and if it…

OK I wanted to reply to this because maybe my experience might help. I am currently 389lbs down from 434lbs - I have been counting calories since July of last year and in December I started working out at the gym. To give you a quick rundown of my 'history' - I have tried every diet known to man and had gotten to the point…

Just wanted to post a quick update. I have since been back in the free weights section and I have to say - the fear has completely gone! It's a head game really - once you go in and realise that literally, no one cares that you are there, no one is pointing or laughing, you can just get on with it and do your workout. I…

Woooooot just completed my first workout in the free weights section!!!!! Wasn't as bad as I had anticipated and so glad I did it :)

I really needed to read this today. I am severely overweight.....well, I've been working out for about 3 months now and lost quite a bit of weight, but also LOADS of inches. Anyway, I had my programme re-done and my instructor asked me if I was comfortable working out in the freeweights section and I said yes straight…

Well just to update - by the time I'd finished my work the sensation was gone, it appears to only be during the working day I get it. It's not painful, just uncomfortable - I'm positive it's just because I'm working out so hard and I'm pretty sure that the more I do it, the more my body will get used to it. Thanks for all…

OK First off, mahoosive embarrassment on my part, either my browser or myfitnesspal totally cuts short your username - I see now that it's NOT actually delicious_coc - omg, I'm actually guffawing!!! lol Secondly - thank you so much, it feels great to not only be down nearly 50lbs, but the level of fitness I've attained in…

Hey delicious_coc *s******s at username* ;) I wasn't sure if it made sense, it's kind of hard to describe. On the day of workout I feel totally fine, I don't feel as if my muscles are clenched, but the day after work out, it's almost as if my abdominal muscles were clenched on the day of work out (but I didn't realise it)…

Thanks gwenr, I am in a great place now, feeling good and thoroughly loving working out! You know, I never even gave any thought to doing some light working out on my off days - I might do some walking with my hubby and see if that makes a difference. Thanks :)

I had blood work done about two years ago, you see I have this epic phobia of needles......example........when I got my blood taken (after three failed appointments previously) I had to use Emla cream to numb my arm (like a baby lol) and even then, I was so worked up and tense that I was stamping my feet, swearing like a…

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply, I was out all afternoon yesterday, then at the gym and then by the time I got in I was pooped and went to bed! lol So food wise, I weigh all my food - I'm from the UK and we don't really use cup measures etc, it's so unreliable, so everything is weighed in grams - or there are foods,…

Thanks guys - a lot of very helpful information!! I definitely do need to drink WAY more water - my friend keeps telling me I should be drinking it like it's my job! lol I suppose I just need to get on with it and start drinking it. Yes, I have went from being absolutely sedentary - I LITERALLY did nothing, when at work, I…

Yes, I totally agree, I would rather change shape - but my concern is, if I am losing fat, why don't I see that on the scale? Is it because I'm gaining muscle? I know I'm probably asking really basic questions but I guess because I am keeping a close eye on everything and reading so much information online that I over…

I was recommended to work out three times a week (on top of just normal every day activities), but decided to do 5 to boost it - so should I be doing 60 mins cardio 7 days a week? Food wise, I eat a decent balance between fat, protein and carbs - I could probably eat 'cleaner' but I don't eat bad at all. Goal wise, I just…

Hi Kicker - currently (after my 6lbs weight gain) I am 398lbs and I am 5 foot 9 inches. I weigh and log everything I eat.
