OK guys, I am not new to MFP but am new to this board. I'm up for this challenge. I've been serious about keto for about 2 weeks now. SW:210 CW:207 GW ( for now): 180 Sunday 09/02 - Sunday 09/09 - Sunday 09/16 - Sunday 09/23 - Sunday 09/30 -

Please add me, I am back also after losing 30 lbs 2 years ago but having gained it back. I am interested in doing Keto and would like to try it with others. I also have some health issues I am dealing also I could use some support as well as can offer support.

yes, if I eat beef I will wake up in the middle of the night in a sweat as my body tries to digest it, only happens when I eat beef.

Even if the scale isn't moving a lot, give yourself credit for sticking to your eating plan. If the scale seems to be stuck ( happening to me right now) give yourself a fitness goal like walking an extra 30 minutes, or something like that.

There is a difference between distilled and what is called double distilled or de-ionized water ( there is a long chemical explanation for this, if you have trouble sleeping look it up on line) Long story short, de-stilled de-ionized water is bad for your systems and water in this state will pull minerals, etc. from the…

Same a many folks here, I just feel better when I keep gluten out of my diet. I do fine with gluten free bread but avoid most other gluten free products. I can tell within a day of eating something containing gluten (soy sauce), I will be tired and bloated. I've never had the need to be officially diagnosed with anything,…

Sticking mostly with turkey and veggies, maybe a small portion of mashed potatoes

I set a goal for myself and accomplished it. I took control over something that I thought I had no control over ( my eating). Makes me thing about many other goals I still would like accomplish.

same here, I weigh myself daily because this works best for me personally. In Oct I went 2 almost 3 weeks with nothing them the scale started moving again and I am down 4 lbs.

I'll log, I am going to take a break from achieving a calorie deficit but I do want to keep track of how many calories I am at before Thanksgiving dinner.

Talk to a therapist, your self esteem should not be so tied to your body image ( easier said than done I know)

logging, logging, logging knowing what a serving size of any food looks like

I am grateful to have a good job, although stressful. I am grateful that I don't turn to food to deal with that stress anymore.

Maybe you need to address some of your emotional reason you eat ( believe me, I have tons of them). If events throw you off it doesn't quite matter which plan you are following.

allowed myself to go cloths shopping after I hit the 20 lbs lost mark. It was awesome to buy pants and shirts in a size lower than last year at this time. And I bought jeans.....jeans and I didn't have to stuff myself into them like a sausage.

In parts of the US Sh*% on a Shingle refers of creamed beef served over toast, usually for breakfast.

stuffed cabbage: cabbage leaves stuffed with ground beef and rice and cooked in a tomato sauce, I have heard some in my area also call these pigs in a blanket. I have also heard those mini hot dogs wrapped in pastry called pigs in a blanket. 6 of 1, half dozen of the other :#

will try to substitute wheat flour for another type ( issues with gluten) and give it a try

not to mention the different names for foods within the US pop/soda/coke hoagies/sub/grinder gravy/sauce stuffed cabbage/pigs in a blanket and Tylenol is a brand name for acetometaphin I digress.....

fresh fruit with vanilla or strawberry yogurt as a dip

Daily, but I don't get to concerned about small fluctuations, +/- 1 lbs, and I don't consider myself to be at a "new weight" until I see that number for at least 3 days in a row. This just helps me personally to stay on track.

Sorry you are nor happy with your body, try being a little more accepting of yourself. Taking some of the pressure off yourself might help you handle all of this a little better. Try just being proud of what you have accomplished so far and take credit for exercising and eating well. I am not saying this is how you feel,…

bump! Love asparagus!

olives Hated them as a kid and still can't stand them. Beets: taste like dirt:sick:

THIS !!! and you should be , and hope you are, so proud of yourself!

what worked for me: calorie deficit for weight loss, period. I was 60 lbs overweight exercising 3-4 times a week and eating healthy ( no junk or processed food) you can be overweight eating no carbs if you are taking in more calories than you burn, period.
