I did not know anything about the ketogenic diet when I began. It has been one month and I am down 16 pounds. Ultimately it’s is a low carb diet. It starts out has being high fat, moderate protein but once your body adjusts you don’t worry about making your fat goals, only protein goals. Typically you keep under 20 carbs.…

oh I absolutely love the link. Thanks.

Yesterday is gone, what you do right now is what counts. Little steps! Exercise gets those anti-depression endorphins flowing. I read some where the other day that even doing one push up makes you stronger. You know which direction you want to go, and you are pointing in the right direction, now it is the hard part, one…

That was timely. I had a very hard couple of days. I finally weighed in and it happened to be on a scale they use at a doctors office that usually tends to be higher. I weighed 193 pounds. meaning I gained three pounds since I have been here. I have been counting calories, swimming every day. Walking about 2 miles at least…

I do not have a scale.:ohwell: I took my measurements before I left and they are the ones posted on my profile, I will take the time to post them later. I'm kind of freaking out because I normally weigh myself a couple times a day :blushing: As soon as I come in contact with one I will post but last time I checked I was at…

cnce again your post came in a timely manner. I was at the grocery story yesterday and was just shoving things in my shopping cart without a plan. Since the move I have been hitting fast food places and not making healthy choices. If my menus were thought out and planned I would probably be able to steer clear of bad…

The exercise challenge for week one. I literally landed on my face. I still hate push ups. I thought I had a realistic goal, but only worked on them the first 3 days and stopped doing them. I still will continue with them until I reach my goal or possibly lessen my goal. :) This weeks challenge is something I have already…

For the food challenge I had a pluot. I had never tried one before. It is an hybrid plum/apricot. It was very delicious. It has a firmer texture than the plum. It was so sweet and juicy. I am so glad we had this challenge, I would have missed out on something so good.:happy:

I feel like I have already addressed a lot of these in my other posts, but this one has a little more detail so I guess I will reiterate some and expand on others. The mental part is what I do every day. I have a lot of joy in my life. I can’t zero it down to a minute or a day, it has been continual for a while (I…

I've always wanted to learn how to belly dance, not sure I could ever move my hips like that :embarassed:

I thought about it. I hate mango. I do not like fresh mangoes, I do not like mango flavored ice cream or mango flavored anything. Do not like their smell or their texture. (I do think they have a pretty color though.) I do not like olives either. But reading the above post, I love brussel spouts. I do think they smell…

You go girl! I felt so accomplished when I finished the 30 day shred. It took three attempts to. Then I followed it up with Ripped, but didn't finish that and started doing other things. you endured 23 days and I bet you say great results!

I did the exact the same thing! I was writing a reply to the other post about challenges. Put a lot of thought into got to the very last sentence, and then wham it was erased! So I did my post in word and copy and pasted. I like your goals. I may incorporate them into my overall plan.

It looks like my short term goal will usually have to do with one of the challenges. I am going to try to be able to do 25 good push ups before the week is over. Middle goal is fit back in my size 14 pants comfortably by August 22. Long term goal is to make it to my goal weight of 160. I am 5'10 and CW is 189. My even…

Food Challenge: So I am thinking that Guacamole is the food part. (it confused me because you mentioned broccoli right after that, and they both happen to be two of my favorite things.) I love guacamole. I like to cut an avocado and put a little salt on it and spoon it right out of the shell. People can ruin an avocado by…

Not sure my kids really care for my victory dance. :wink: In fact my victory dance is what got me back on MFP, because I was dancing in the kitchen and my daughter said. I wouldn't do that in that shirt. (apparently I was jiggling). But when I say that post I decided I like my victory dance and decided to re-invent it!…

I like the 30 day shred. It is 20 minutes a day. (300 ish calories burned) Yes the first three days are brutal, but when I ran through the program the first time, I lost over 20 pounds in those 30 days. That being said I quit three times before I was able to complete it. It incorporates strength, cardio and ab workouts.…

:smile:

I was on a rest day yesterday because I started the Jillian Michaels ripped in 30 the two prior days and was very sore. Most of it was because if she did an exercise I didn't care for, I would replace it with one from 30 day shred. Ended up working my biceps more than would have. In fact I prefer 30 day shred because it…

I would like that

BEGINNING WEIGHT: 194.6 GOAL WEIGHT AFTER 40 DAYS: 180 GOAL WEIGHT: 160

I forgot what it felt like to have a burn from a morning workout. It feels so good to be back. I did a video workout this morning, and am thinking about getting on the elliptical for maybe a little while just because it would be something to do productive with my time, but do not want to get too sore or I will not be able…

Sounds like a good plan! I just restarted today.

Hi Meg, my name is Misty. My goal weight is 160-165. I am weighing in today at 194.6. Looks like we have similar goals.

Hi, my name is Misty and I am from Amarillo, Texas. In less than three weeks I will be moving to Victoria Texas which is 25 miles from the coast. A couple of years ago I lost close to 30 pounds using this website as a tool. I logged my food everyday. I exercised everyday. It worked, but I know how to lose the weight, but…

I don't know. I really like the ones you listed. I did a mini challenge with 200 arm circles. It made me think about things. LOL. I like crunches.

I would like to join

Did it! Felt the burn!

I can so identify. As my stress level goes up, i then begin to stuff sugar in my mouth. i was thinking about it all morning. And what it comes down to excuses. If it is something you want to do, you will make time for it. I have a friend that plans her snacks. So when everyone is eating vending machine junk, she is…

I love bacon, I lost 20 pounds, while having two slices of bacon almost everyday. I try not to limit myself on any type of food. Anything in moderation!
