@Coleteo Thank you & apologies for the late response! I work out 4/5 times a week. Pilates 2 x a week for 1 hour, plus 2/3 home workouts which are 20 mins treadmill / 30 mins weights / 20 mins treadmill. For weights I just do my own thing, based on different trainers I have worked with, using 10-20lbs weights, depending on…

9 months later, I have been at 118lbs for 6 months now and slowly re-comping.

Bumping as this is such a good thread to follow and a great source of inspiration! Just wish I remembered to take photos before we ate LOL!

Add me too :smile: I am at the end of my weight loss journey and going into maintenance after losing over 70lbs this year. I am active and love to be busy. I will log my food & exercise and daily comments on here to keep me honest and I will continue to encourage & support my MFP friends, who are close to my heart.

Lovely! I am obsessed with boots & I really want some purple ones. I can never seem to find the right colour / heel combo though!

Awesome work! Keto is amazing :)

Wow, that was frustrating! Typed a whole long post and it only put up a tiny bit. Note to self, save emoticons for the END of the post! I will replay again later when I have the time xxxx

Not very good photo's I'm afraid!

Have a look here: http://101mobility.com/blog/wheelchair-exercises/ Lots of exercises you can do sitting down.

For motivation, this might work for you, it certainly worked for me: Start asking yourself "Why would / wouldn't I?" and follow it up with a positive thought. e.g. Why would I eat that cake / cookie / candy bar? By not eating it, I will fit into my smaller jeans sooner! Why would I drink wine when it's just empty calories?…

@Hamsibian IP Applesauce: Ingredients 6-8 medium to large apples (Granny Smith, Gala, McIntosh, Fuji, etc.) 1 cup water 1 tsp organic cinnamon (optional) Instructions Cut apples into 2-inch chunks. Discard the core, stem and seeds. Place in Instant Pot along with 1 cup of water. Close Instant Pot lid and set to manual high…

I have had my IP for just over a year and I use it every day! I use it to steam veggies for dinner, but I also regularly cook: Turkey chili Low carb bolognese Chicken crowns pressure cooked then slow cooked to use the meat for cold chicken & to make broth with the bones / veggies Brisket Pulled Pork Pressure cooker boiled…

I am 68lbs down over 10 months and strict as ever, but I just cannot shift the last 5lbs. I bounce between 130 - 132lbs and have been stuck there for 2 months. My CICO calculation says I should have lost another 10lbs. I have been consistent with logging food, weighing everything. Same with exercise, which I have actually…

I am up 3.4lbs this week, despite having a CICO calculation of -1.5lbs. The past few weeks have been strange for me. I follow a Keto lifestyle & exercise 5x a week. Nothing has changed. However, my steady loss has stopped dead (and even increased this week) and by my CICO calculations (which have been dead on accurate for…

I have averaged 1300 cals per day, over the 10 months. My average Macros are 7% carbs (under 20g), 55% fat, 38% protein

My husband & I have been Keto for the last 10 months. He lost 92lbs, from 280 to 188, I lost 68lbs from 198 to 130. My average Macros are 7% carbs (under 20g), 55% fat, 38% protein (10 month average) I work out 5x a week. A minimum workout is 45 mins treadmill for cardio and 30 mins strength / circuit training. I am at 21%…

I have done cardio and weight training 5 days a week since I have been Keto without problems (10 months now). When you exercise intensely, your weight will fluctuate a lot more, so be prepared to it going up as well as down. I tend to bounce around a stochastic of 2lbs, with a downward trend over time. So don't freak out…

Hmm, interesting replies. Thank you. Yes, I am low carb (10 months now) and I have found myself gravitating towards savory things now (99% chocolate is languishing in the back of the cupboard untouched). I prefer cheese, salami, bacon, spicy tasting things. I will try a few days without syrup / jello and see if it makes a…

I thought you use it as a face mask :D

There is a point when the compliments on weight loss stop and the negative comments start. I am at 130lbs and would like to lose just 5lb more, but I could probably stand to lose 15lb more and it would be fine as I am only 5'4". Yesterday my Mother in Law (a previous cheerleader for my weight loss) said 'My goodness, your…

Age 46 5'4" SW 198 CW 130 Lost 68lbs in 10 months Bit of a 'Melted Candle' look at the moment until my skin catches up, but I LOVE my ABS!!

You have done an amazing job! My husband & I had the same problem. He lost over 90lbs and I lost over 60lbs. This took 9 months. During that time we had to 'cycle' through several clothes sizes, so I sold our old clothes on eBay and bought some 'used' ones on there to see us through. I have ended up with a super cute…

I'm 5'4, 46, Female. SW 198 Jan 2015 CW 130 GW 125 My initial target was 140, which I hit at 7 months. I have concentrated on toning and building muscle since, so loss has been much slower (10lbs in just over 2 months). I would like to lose 5lbs more, but I am not that bothered. When my loose skin tightens up, I am quite…

Me too!!

I had this too, but I had also experienced it 2 years ago 3 months after my dog passed away. 6 months later my hair has started filling in again, but my new growth is mostly gray (I am 46). I don't care what colour it is, as long as I have it! My husband also suffered some hair loss after 3 months on low carb, and he has…

I do this too! I have a step from my kitchen to my laundry room. While my Nespresso is dispensing, I do step ups or calf raises, rather than just looking out the window at the view

I wonder if this can work as an aversion therapy? I waste far too much time each day browsing ebay. I sell on ebay, so I am always logged in, but if I have a spare 10 mins, I browse items (that I don't need!) to buy. I am going to try a 'WALK AWAY FROM THE LAPTOP' approach. If I find I am browsing to buy, I will put my…

Love this! My husband thinks using a MacBook is a seated exercise LOL! On a recent day off, I was lucky enough to snatch 15 mins out in the sun. Rather than just laying there, I did 15 mins of lying down leg raises.

I have 1 tsp Goat Cream on a jello cup several times a day

This time I have lost a significant amount from my bust, but I do cardio x 5 a week and strength training x 5 a week, plus occasional horseriding. My bust measurement has gone from 46" to 35.5" and my underbust from 37" to 30" with a 65lb loss. I have also significantly reduced my body fat %.
