  • For anybody that's new to keto, there's a lot of great ppl on instagram you can follow to get ideas about what to eat. Ketoincanada is one that I follow. She's awesome and she has a beginner guide available. Think she's also on mfp but I've never looked her up. But you could also look at who she's following and find a…
  • I've been doing keto since August and have lost almost 15 lbs. Had a bad wk last wk due to some personal issues but I'm back on track this wk. And I do workout. It's been a game changer for me bc I had lost wt previously without any problems. Gained some back and tried everything.....decreased my calories, increased my…

  • My husband bought 2 boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts last week and I didn't touch one of them!!!!
  • Your story was NOT too long!!!! You can't condense 12 yrs into 2 sentences! The struggle is real. Congrats on picking yourself back up....not once but twice and getting back at it. You look GREAT!
  • Wow!!!! Great job! You look amazing!
  • i have a torn brevis tendon in my ankle and have been in a boot for 5 weeks. one week to go. hopefully i'll be given the ok to get out of it and get back at it next wed. i've just been doing upper body and modifying other stuff like kick boxing and kettle bell. just doing what i can do. it's frustrating but better than…
  • Keep up the great work!!! You've done amazing! I've been wearing a boot on my leg for the past 5 weeks due to a torn tendon in my ankle and am amazed at the muscle and balance I have lost in that leg in just that short amount of time. I can only imagine what bedrest for 9 months does to your body! You may feel like…

  • Very inspiring!!! I'm dealing with a peroneal tendon in my ankle that's giving me trouble. It has for the past couple months but I was too hard headed to go to the drs. Something "popped" last saturday and now I have an mri scheduled tues to see if it's ruptured. Praying its not bc that will require surgery. I told my 13…

  • I'm just joining. Been at this thing for a long time...3yrs. I've got the workout part down. My eating is what kills me. Got down to 150 but have slowly put the wt back on. Ten of it over the holidays!!!! Ughhhhh. I'm so mad at myself for that but I've also had a foot injury that I'm trying to recover from so that played a…
  • be kind to yourself. there's nothing to be ashamed of in either picture. you look great and your hard work is showing. remember that half the battle is in our own heads.
  • I hate that you had to go through that too. Sometimes though our greatest achievements come out of our darkest moments. At 20 yrs old I had to tell my mom who I was currently living with that I was pregnant. Her first words to me were...I'm not raising a welfare baby. My feelings were hurt beyond belief. Instead of it…
  • @shadow2soul thanks! I do have my fitbit linked to my mfp acct. I'm not sure what I have my acct set to. Think it's light activity. I've not been the best lately at tracking and I'm sure that's the problem. But even when I have a really good wk it doesn't seem to go any where. I've used scales for yrs. I work out 5 days a…
  • i'm do dumb. i've had my fitbit for a while. have never really paid attention to the total calories burned for the day. so do you just look at the total calories burned for that day and keep your calories in so many below that to lose? How many calories should you stay below to lose a pound or two a wk? i've been at a…
  • So sorry to hear about your wife! One of my nearest and dearest friends lost his wife about 8 yrs ago at the age of 35. He too was left a single dad of 3 children from ages 4-14. I understand the struggle....from a close friends view (i would never insult you by saying I understand what it's like to stand in your shoes).…
  • there's actually a group on here called "eat more 2 weigh less". i joined it and watched the videos. once you watch and understand, it makes total sense. it talks about what your body needs just to exist and how we've ruined our metabolisms by yo yo dieting and such. it also talks about resetting your metabolism which is…
  • I know what you mean. I remember when I felt fat at 140. That's my goal wt now. Lol. Oh well.
  • Wonderful job!!! Did your flexibility improve a lot with this program??? I've heard really good things about it.
  • if you've gotta have an addiction, fitness is a good one to have. congratulations on all you've overcome. keep up the great work!
  • Congrats!!!! You've done amazing! I totally get the rest day thing and knowing you've changed your lifestyle. I started maybe 3 1/2 yrs ago. Hated working out. Now if I miss a day there's a lot of grumbling going on in my head. It's amazing what you can condition yourself to do. Keep up the great work! You look beautiful!!
  • Congratulations!!! That's a HUGE accomplishment and you rocked it!!! Some times all we need is some accountability.....and a little friendly competition!
