Not many people doing this anymore, but there's a group here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/103806-21-day-fixers https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/113951-21-day-fix-new-group https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/110416-21-day-fix-challenge-original-or-extreme…

I like Jessica Smith TV - lots of variety.

3 kgs would be a 23,150 calorie surplus. If you ate 3,307 calories above maintenance every day for 7 days, then it's fat.

I'm all set then! :D Edited to add.....Glad to know helmet hair is good for something.

This is not true at all. Most of us just eat at an appropriate calorie deficit and eat foods we find filling. It may take some experimenting to find what's satiating because it's not the same things for everyone. Protein, fat, and fiber are the usual components. Measuring and logging "regular" food instead of eliminating a…

Fiber is very important for the human body, and filling for some. Blending smoothies would be an improvement over juicing.

Small steps. Trying to change a bunch of things all at once can be daunting. What is one thing you can change this week? Be specific and make one goal. Can you create a step goal and increase your steps? Can you add a serving of vegetables to both lunch and dinner? Next week create another goal, and then another, and…

You might look in the groups section for low carbers - https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/394-low-carber-daily-forum

While jjpptt2 is correct, all true weight loss is about the calories. 4kg in 2 weeks is a big number. I can't help but think a good portion of that loss is actually water weight fluctuation and not fat loss. 4kg = 8.81849 pounds....or a deficit of 2,200 calories a day (over 14 days). When going off low carb the water…

You might look for seated (or chair) exercise videos on YouTube. There are a couple DVD series too (check your local library): https://www.collagevideo.com/pages/search-results-page?q=chair&tab=products A swimming pool would be a good option - but most are closed.

Jessica Smith TV is my favorite.

Losing weight is the first step. Simply find a way to take in fewer calories than your current maintenance calories on a consistent basis. Keto helps some people do that. After you get to goal weight a smaller you will require somewhat fewer calories to maintain....forever. Does keto teach you new habits that help you do…

Here's an explanation of why net carbs won't (can't) be a thing.......... https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10788929/net-carbs

You can't depend on this number each hour of every day. There are some projections in there. See the 3rd post down in the thread linked below "FitBit Calorie Adjustment" https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10098937/faq-syncing-logging-food-amp-exercise-calorie-adjustments-activity-levels-accuracy/p1 If you got…

There are a % of PCOS sufferers that benefit from low carb. Protein, fiber, and fat are filling components. Greek yogurt or cottage cheese and berries. Veggies dippers with Greek yogurt dill dip. Low carb tortillas, luncheon meat, or lettuce can be used for wraps. Peanut better and celery. It really doesn't need to be…

From the OPs name....... I'm guessing low carb. OP - 1 pound of fat loss requires a 3,500 calorie deficit. If you lost 16 pounds of fat in 14 days, you had a daily 4,000 calorie deficit. Even if you ate zero calories, you didn't burn 4,000 calories every day (not at 177 pounds). With a low carb diet there is a substantial…

You seemed to gloss over the AND CALORIES part. Worded another way......an excess of fats and calories are stored as fat, OR an excess of proteins and calories are stored as fat too. Any way you slice it ;) fat stores require excess calories.

Are you eating fruit? Try adding dried fruit. Smoothies can bump up your calories - full fat yogurt and banana.

No, OP said that "this is going to be impossible for me!" This statement makes me (and some others) believe that keto is perhaps the wrong choice for the OP. That perhaps keto would be a temporary change and not a true lifestyle change for her. This is why posters are pointing out that keto is not the only choice.

1200 is a default minimum (ie: one-size-fits-all) for women, so yes you should be eating at least that many calories. Most women can eat more than 1,200 and still lose weight. Calorie dense foods can pack lots of nutrition into small portion sizes. Olive oil, nuts, nut butters, full fat dairy. You are feeling fine now, but…

I've lightened existing recipes and am always on the look out for new ones........... https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/low-calorie-dinner-recipes-ready-in-30-minutes/ https://www.skinnytaste.com/ https://www.allrecipes.com/recipes/1678/healthy-recipes/low-calorie/main-dishes/

The default minimum for an adult male is 1500 calories. If you are short and sedentary 1500 is fine, or if you are short and elderly. 1200 is the minimum for WOMEN.

Under eating on a regular basis helps you lose "weight" more quickly. Healthy weight loss (moderate deficit) is muscle sparing, aggressive weight loss not. Google skinny-fat. There's a price.

I'm thinking more placebo effect than anything. Wouldn't the pharmaceutical industry be all over this with a pill if it really cured so many ailments?

Yes - you should eat at least 1200 calories. It's a default minimum anyway (before exercise)......yes, eat a portion of exercise calories back. Most women can eat more than 1200 (+ exercise calories) and still lose weight. Under eating can cause a host of health problems.…

Check out the FitBit Forum.......https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users There's a good question and answer section here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10098937/faq-syncing-logging-food-amp-exercise-calorie-adjustments-activity-levels-accuracy/p1

Weight loss is about calories first, second, and always. If 2180 is a deficit for you, then you will lose weight. Focus first on meeting 2180 calories consistently. As you log your meals, make tweaks here and there to reach desired macros. Eventually you figure the macro thing out. Here's the math (rounded).......... 40 %…

There is a group here for Leslie fans.........https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/335-leslie-sansone-walk-at-home Leslie on DVD might be a good investment. Check your local library. Most DVDs from her "Just Walk" series have a music only option. This is great if you find there's too much chatter. Newer DVDs "Walk…

Start with My Fitness Pal defaults. Like Austin said, get calories under control first. As you are logging you will figure out some foods are more filling than others. You will be shocked by some calorie counts (or really small portion sizes). After a time you may need to tweak your goals, but unless you are tracking for a…

Starting by tracking calories is a great way to do it. Just log your meals/snacks etc. Get a feel for calories. After a time you can begin to tweak things. You don't need to jump in with both feet. The Sexypants thread linked above is very informative.
