Started keto on 1/14/17. Pretty good at keeping at least under 50 grams total, and usually much less than that. However, I still seem to be eating close to 2000 cals per day...which is too much for my frame. I want to get to 115 (currently 133). Question about "maintenance" for 5-10 percent loss: do you continue keto, just…

Oh and I'm 5'3

I'm in! I'm 133, want to get down to 115. I'm doing keto. Anyone else?

Thanks for the tips! I was holding on to my post-prego weightloss, lost more than I gained, but now back to my original weight and need to lose those 15 lbs I've trying to for forever!

nevermind! found the shopping list!

Thanks for the post! Can anyone who has done it provide a list of "approved" foods? I can't find a comprehensive list on the website...

What a great story! I am in approximately the same boat - used to be 110-112 before I turned 21 and started to drink. At 118 I thought I was "fat". Joined MFP a couple of years back at 132, but did not lose anything. This March-April, I noticed that even though I was running and working out, my weight was always between…

WOW, great results! Congrats!

At least your guys are losing/have lost weight! I have been on MFP since February, but I cannot seem to stick to my goal 1200 calories per day....And even if I lose 2 lbs, they come back the next day. I am 134 as of today, and it seems like I will never reach my goal of 115.

I am on Wellbutrin (for depression). I am also a former smoker but I quit w/o any medication. Buproprion, the ingredient in both Zyban and Wellbutrin, does suppress appetite for ME. I think everybody (and every body) is different so you just have to see if it works for you.

Wow, what a change! You look great! Keep it up!

You look great! Awesome job!

So amazing! I've been in a rut with exercise, but seeing results like this is an inspiration! Will be getting my own 30DS DVD!

Great job!

What a transformation! Congrats!

Great story and great results! I "understand" depression and not caring about anything...As well as abusive relationships. So, you rock! What an inspiration!

There is definitely a difference! Everything is "higher", especially in the back!

SF/Oakland, CA!

Same here...especially white. I always end up way over calories that day (and then some).

Really great job! Thanks for the inspiration!

I am 5'2 and need to lose 15-20 lbs, ideally be 115!

I am in! To follow on a previous post re: roxy lean, I take it and am finally able to eat less! Takes about a week to get used to it. Still haven't had a day with 1200 calories, but at least I've been able to keep it under 2000, which is huge for me. I have 327 calories left for today - Amy's burrito it is!

Thanks for all the suggestions! I've already incorporated apple cider vinegar and whey protein shakes (I actually always have it in the cupboard, but rarely use it - no time like the present to start!) This community is really amazing and supportive - thanks again! I am already down to 134, and was able to keep my calories…

Tatiana, you are absolutely correct re: crappy carbs. And no, I am no longer in grad school. Graduated in 2008, passed the bar, have a job, got married, so not a whole lot of stress going on. I think I just have a bad relationship with food.

Cletc: they want me to eat 165 grams of carbs per day. I try to eat more protein than carbs, but since I have not stuck to 1,200 for not even one day, I eat more carbs than recommended. Re: whey protein advice - I'll get back to it! Sometimes I am in the mood for something warm and salty in the morning, like scrambled…

JatieKo: potato chips are my cryptonite. I am glad I am not alone with the salty carbs thing!

I understand that I may need more than 1,200, but I often end up with 3,000! I only run 3x week, up to 3-6 miles on average, except for long runs on weekends. A mile burns roughly 100 calories, so I definitely don't burn as much as I consume...

Would Trader Joe's organic pasteurized apple cider work instead? I've already bought a bottle but have been sporadic using it. Also, once a day or before each meal?

Thanks so much for your response! I will try to do the protein thing.
