I have been following a very strict LCHF diet and around Christmas time I caved when my husband prepared sugary treats. This started a momentary lapse of judgment. Early last month I made a full pan of caramel fudge;which of course I shared with my family but I still feel a little guilty about it. Wouldn't have been so bad…

If anyone is still out there....I too have chosen a Keto diet way of living. Would love to add new friends for support/to support. Please feel free to add me. :)

I realize this discussion is about a month old but just thought I would chime in. I've been doing a keto diet for about 3 weeks now and I've only lost one pound. Anyone care to check out my diary and see where I might be needing some improvement? I could really use the advice.

This is actually my day 2 for everyone else's day 3. I had to sit out yesterday and rest. Hopefully I will be able to continue this for the next 28 days. I'm scurrred...lol

I completed my day one yesterday late last night. So sorry if I'm a little late replying. To be totally honest I didn't complete the whole set as I didn't do the mountain climbers. It doesn't seem like three sets is a lot until you're down on the floor trying to complete them...lol. I was so stressed from my daily workout…

I am taking my measurements and pictures this morning. I'll probably do this workout in the evenings after my regular work out at the gym. Ready to see some real results!

Well I'm certainly going to give it a try...I just joined a new gym with better equipment(than my other gym) so I can use different machines. I'll be concentrating on my abs since this is my most troublesome spot. I hope to see results!

This link refers to the VO 2 max testing that you're referring to when you wear the mask on your face. I think it's more for performance to tell you how well you're utilizing your calories. Again this is from the Fitness Wave people too but just to give you some insight as to what the test provides I thought I'd include…

Here is a segment from the website that I visited last month in order to get information on the test I was going to take. It is from a company called Fitness Wave, they're in the Los Angeles area. Which is where I was going to go. But just to give you an idea of the accuracy, read on. "This medically based breath test is…

There's a lot of good, solid information here. I will try to implement some of the strategies advised.

:-)

Noted..:-)

Believe me I'm not jumping for joy at having to do this.Weigh my food, that is. But I can safely say that it is one of the things I have not done. Well that and get a REAL HRM..(my Jawbone feels more like a novelty). If it doesn't seem to make any difference I will ditch it but I have to try everything! So my takeaways…

Gonna give it a peek. :-)

Exactly! If my burn number is incorrect and that's what I input and I'm eating 50 to 75 percent back that's where it all goes downhill. When I do then I am overeating or in any case eating at maintenance or above my deficit. Because I'm not gaining any weight now I'm simply maintaining. The scale just won't move. Day in,…

I am purchasing a food scale tonight! I will have to wait a little while on the HRM but I have heard wonderful things about the Polar FT 7. I was actually looking at the Polar ft4 myself. That seems a little bit more in my price range for what I need right now.

Wow! I guess I have been kidding myself on a lot of levels. Seeing as how I LOVE my peanut butter I'd better be more careful with that. TY!

OK..that was some scary (albeit well needed) information. Thanks for the heads up!

Thank you! And yes, about a month ago I went to see my primary care physician and she ordered tests. Everything came back clear. I was almost hoping it was my thyroid. Go figure. However, what I am in a process of doing is seeing a specialist. I have made an appointment to see a nutritionist /dietitian to go over my…

You aren't losing weight because… a) you don't use a food scale b) you aren't eating enough c) you don't honestly log the food you consume d) you don't drink enough water e) you overestimate calories burned through exercise You need to eat at least 1200 calories a day. Meaning your NET needs to be 1200. [/quote] Thank you…

You are absolutely correct! I have been putting off getting a food scale even though I know I seriously need one. I have a tiny kitchen and very little room. But I suppose I will have to make room for one.. Thank you for your input, it is greatly appreciated.

To be honest with you (and myself), no I have NOT taken any measurements since the start. I'm judging by the way my clothes fit and nothing seems to be getting any looser. I definitely should have planned this out better since the beginning. And no I do not weigh my food, but instead measure my food using measuring…

Happened to me too..especially in my thigh area. Three weeks into my program I lost the 4 lbs I'd gained. http://weightloss.answers.com/side-effects/sore-muscles-and-weight-gain#slide=1

I haven't seen that one. Is this an independent film? When did it release? I'm wondering if I still have time to try and find it. I have seen most of the other ones on Netflix like Food Inc, Forks over Knives , Hungry for Change and Vegucated. Netflix has a plethora of different documentaries a lot of them based on the…

Hi Vanessa! My name is Linda and I'm new to MyFitnessPal. I don't live in Chicago anymore but I used to and I go back often. Maybe we can swap stories about how things are changing. Add me if you like.

I seem to be gaining a lot in my thighs as well. Same thing;clothes still fit but are tight especially in that area. I do a run/walk routine and ChaLean Extreme burn circuit DVD 's (she really challenges the lower half incorporating a lot of squats). I messed up my metabolism when I stopped eating because I was sick. So…

I'm faced with that dilemma everyday. I always wonder if I should be eating back my exercise calories because that's what MFP asks of me. I wonder if I'm sabotaging my progress by NOT eating them. Most often (open diary take a look) I finish under. I would love to hear if your progress improves. You can friend me if you…

This just made my day!
