  • Week has been pretty good so far. I am getting in my 60 minutes of activity, but its not always as high intensity as I would like it to be. Food and water intake have been great. i'm down another 1.4 lbs so far since I weighed in for my starting weight on Monday so I'm pretty happy with that. The weather was finally nice…
  • Hi Everyone, My name is Sara and I would love be in Onederland by this summer! I'm 31, Married, and I manage an animal hospital (so 50/50 split desk job and crazy running around and bending and lifting animals all day). I started back with MFP as part of my New Years commitment to get healthy so my husband and I can start…
  • Give it some time. Make sure you are staying hydrated with plenty of water and if it doesn't improve maybe test at least limiting dairy? Since switching to Keto my skin has been so clear, even my occasional (and painful!) cystic acne that I would get around that time of the month has vanished. So there is hope! Just give…

  • I have PCOS and Keto has been great for me. I still lose weight slower than a lot of people (I was in a weight loss challenge at my boot camp and people were losing 2-7 lbs per week while I maybe lost 1). But I'm still losing weight. I've lost more weight in 4 months on Keto than I did when I was prepping for my wedding…
  • I have PCOS and I've always had irregular cycles, since switching to a LCHF diet it's been like clockwork which is amazing!
  • My macros were set by my Endocrinologist with the help of his Registered Dietitian. Since switching to this way of eating I've lost 30lbs (17 since restarting with MFP) and have been taken off all of my medications including Metformin. I tried a low GI diet for years with no results. But since switching to this style of…
  • I keep my macros around 10% carbs (veggies only, no starches/grains or fruit), 30% protein and 60% fat. I was having great success at 5% carbs, 25% protein and 70% fat but after I joined a boot camp I needed to up my carb and protein intake to help with workout recovery. Everyone is different play with your macros, try a…
  • I second the recommendation for protein shakes. I'm using an Egg White protein (chocolate flavored) that is 100 calories, 22g of protein and only 2g of carbs per serving.
  • I've had both...honestly I don't even use my Fitbit anymore I gave it to my husband. I would vote for the Polar any day :-)
  • I put meal plans for the week together for dinners so i have a general idea what protein I need to pick up at the store. Otherwise I have been making sure that I have a fridge full of keto friendly snacks ready to go and I cleared the house out of any temptation. I only cook for myself and my husband so leftovers from…
  • I found mine at my local Target. I needed to go to the Electronics department and they had them with the other watch type batteries on a counter, not with the regular battery display. Hope that helps!
  • Thank you! :-)
