Hi all. I started Keto when it was called Atkins New Diet Revolution. Not Atkins from the past 5 yrs or more . Dr Atkins when he was alive promoted real foods, meat veggies and healthy fats. I started in 2004 at 238 lbs 5ft4 and on 9 meds just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. After 6 months I had lost over 60 lbs and…

Hey there Happy New Year. I lost a lot of weight a few years back and I hit my goal using MFP. I have gained a good bit back over the last 2 years. I'm determined to get it off again. I need to lose about 30 to 40 lbs. I do Low Carb ..because of diabetes. I did find that logging food every day helps me stay on track. I…

Sounds good. You can find La Tortilla brand low carb tortillas at Kroger and the small ones are only 50 calories and 4 gms net carbs The big fajita ones are 7 gms carbs and 80 calories

I've done this with success but I never used the Extreme Fat loss level. The main thing you have to remember is the exercise is already worked in. So you eat exactly what they say and no more. Also, you have to commit to about 2 weeks to see major results. It can be time consuming to alter your diet day to day but the guy…

I love JC Penny's and I love their Arizona jeans. Very cute styles and they fit great.

I've done it both ways. I lost the majority of my 97 lbs without exercise. But, take in mind it does matter how many calories you truly burn doing your normal lifestyle activities..work, home activities.etc. I am a full time working mom and I burn Monday -Friday around 2000 to 2200 calories. On weekends I burn around 1900…

Sorry so late in seeing your post! It seems I time is just getting away from me lol . I haven't been reading the boards. I am still signing in and logging daily though. It's like there isn't enough time in the day for everything. Still trying to get those last 8 lbs off. I am starting to wonder if my goal weight is really…

I've learned through trial and error that cheat days just fuel our bad habits. Why call it a cheat when you can have anything you want in moderation? I eat very clean all through the work week. Recently I've given up cheat weekends to just having any type of food I want on the weekends but this is what I do. I either take…

Well, I need to make a weekly menu because it seems we are unorganized LOL. I also need to organize my cabinets to see what's in there!

I buy several different kinds of frozen fruit from walmart. They have a big bag of frozen fruit it's strawberries, peach , mango and pineapple. There is also plain no sugar added sliced strawberries. Most recently I found dark sweet cherries by dole. Ok I buy Blue Diamond Unsweetened Almond Milk (It's in a carton and has a…

Hey there Shelia and Bethany. So glad to hear from you. Well tonight we had shake and bake bbq chicken leg quarters. I had some green beans with it. The kids and hubby had some rice. I still watch my carbs as much as possible. After this holiday weekend I especially need to get rid of some cravinI gs. I did good today.…

http://www.cookingwithjax.com/2011/01/blueberry-pie-breakfast.html Didn't scroll to the end to see if anyone else posted this but here is the blueberry version. OMG I can't wait to make these. I love warm sweet breakfast. I could eat this for supper too. Yummy! Can't wait. Thanks for posting.

Ok, I've been wanting one of these for years. Can you buy them locally? We have a bed bath and beyond here. I wonder if they have one. My only New Year's goal is to try to cook more meals at home and stop all the quick stuff. So this would be a great addition and help to me.

I agree with the last poster above me. I hate that most people get stuck on the 1200 goal on here without thinking it through. First of all how much do you have to lose? Use this calculator. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm Plug in your information. For example a 5'3" female that weighs 190 can eat…

Hey there, MFP works and the Free part is awesome too. I haven't been able to do "formal" exercise much lately. I work at a busy Pharmacy too (Tech) and never sit all day. I recently had to move my lifestyle on MFP to active to show at least close to the calorie burn I really do have in a normal day. My Christmas present…

I have been zig zagging for a couple of months. Before the holidays hit I was very strict about this. I'm basically maintaining my weight until all the hooplah is over and then I will lost the last 6 lbs. Ok, so take the calories you want to eat daily and multiply that by 7 then take that total and do a 7 day zig zag here…

we all figured that. LOL...let the first "never made a mistake person" cast the first computer mouse!

It's a mental switch. Once you get there and that switch flips ...the weight comes off and you get healthier. List all the reasons why you want to be healthier. Then list all the reasons why you choose to not do it or to eat over those things on the other list. Everytime you choose not to do something you should your…

I just ordered the Body Media Fit (basically the same thing but monitors sleep too) and I am impatiently waiting also. I really can't wait to see my true numbers doing just normal stuff like my job. I don't sit for over 8 hours. I stand and walk that whole time. I just wonder what my true daily burn is and want to adjust…

Can I get an invite? I ordered my body media fit core today! Can't wait to get it . :) Nichole

bump....curious to see the answers.

woah! Did you feel that wave?? Cuz we are in the same boat LOL. I too have been slowly trying to get off the last 7 lbs. Fluctuating up and down 1 to 2 lbs. I'm not giving up and really trying to re train my brain to see the new me and not the 240 lb me. It's hard. It's a mental thing. We will get there. Don't give up.…

bumping. Sounds very interesting.

I am the same height 5'4"...when I was 157 or 160 don't remember anywhere saying obese. I remember it was obese at about 175. I guess these things keep changing and who get's paid to sit around all day deciding who's obese and who isn't. Very frustrating. I know that I just hit the healthy BMI at 144 or so. But that…

curious to see what others have to say. I've 99% decided on the Body Media Fit (almost same as body bug but it also measures sleep)...I don't always get to work out on a regular basis because I have such a demanding job and then have 2 small boys. I stand and walk 9 hours a day at work though so I couldn't really gauge my…

For years and years I didn't eat breakfast. I just had no appetite in the morning. I really think it messed up my metabolism. So anyway when I started really getting serious about my weight I started making myself eat at least 200 cal of something in the morning. Well, now it's a habit. As a working mom I too don't have…

Buying one for my Christmas present (early too like 2 weeks from now)Will really need support. Thanks. Nichole

I'm getting the BodyMedia Fit Advantage. (The only real difference is it measures sleep too) I'm one of those gadget people who feel that if I am going to get something I want it to have all the features LOL. I feel I'll really understand more about my metabolism and knowing I'm shelling out dough for the membership will…

Just found this thread. Is there a group? I'd like to join. I will go put my stats in the google spreadsheet. I need to lose 6 to 8 more lbs. I am 5'4" large frame and I weigh on a low day 141..some days 143. I hate those fluctuations LOL. I want to way 135. So close but takes so long! LOL. Not giving up. Good luck…

http://www.naturalphysiques.com/64/zig-zag-calculator-for-fat-loss-andor-muscle-gain Go plug in your stats on this calculator (this one is for men) I use of course a different one for women. Do the complex one for a bigger variety. Give it 2 weeks. See if your still stuck. But don't dont dont do the extreme fat loss…
