I am on a keto diet 30 g carbs I take magnesium in the evening and drink boullian for sodium. Do you think it could be electrolytes? Also potassium can help but I don't add that

Figs because I can get them off our tree when they ripen.

I am doing keto mainly to control blood sugar, type 2 diabetic. You just need to be in a deficit to lose weight. I check my ketones with a meter, which is not necessary, but I can go over 20 g carbs, I try to stay under 30g, it varies by individual.that bacon cheese burger is sounding good.

Good for you catching it early and making changes. It took me awhile to take it seriously. You got this.

Can your Dr recommend a dietitian? Also the American diabetes association has a website with info. I cut way back on carbs but am followed by a Dr. It is great you want to take care of yourself

Yes but it has gone quiet. Thank you

I have hypothyroidism but it is controlled by medication. I would see the Dr if you are still having symptoms. I don't know much about PCOS and I am sure that interferes with dieting too. If possible get a referral to a dietitian It is okay to skip breakfast if you aren't hungry. I used to graze snacking all day. I now eat…

My kids were shown a video on fast food, i think it was called supersize me. It was a health class and my daughter became more interested in nutrition (from the class, not just the video). I think it was an overall good experience. The show was just one component. If my child wanted to change their diet to plant based that…

Belly for me too.

Thank you! I did not realize that was an option

I have a withings (Nokia). It links to mfp. It has an app that shows graphs over time. You can set it for multiple people. But, whenever i step on it, it gives an update on mfp so it reports that I have lost that same .5 lb repeatedly. It does not bother me enough to disconnect. My scale is the basic model called Body,…

I have been hovering around 160 lb for too long. Would like to get to 150, but just getting out of this stall would be great.

There are groups here for low carb or keto with lots of info.

Hey, I work in mental health. I only work 8 hour shifts and take breaks. That sounds very difficult. I could use a friend.

That trainer does not sound very good. No wonder you have trouble with motivation. I believe you can do it. You already are. Don’t let that bad advice deter you. I am stalled but I know once I get past this slump I can get there.

Seeing results. If the scale is moving it helps. It isn’t right now so I have to motivate myself. Some people find motivation in groups. There are challenges or other types.

If you still have the yeast skin infection they make antifungal creams. Sorry it was misdiagnosed

You can search groups if you have an area of interest, too. I belong to type 2 diabetes, and low carb. There is a search function.

I use paper plates in the microwave because it makes regular plates too hot. I sometimes will use them for snacks but not dinner. I use disposable cutlery with my lunch at work. I could bring silverware. I have not watched that show but if they are not very mobile washing dishes might be an issue.

Welcome Sharon. Fortunately you can lose weight without exercise. But, have you ever tried anything In The water that could be less pressure? Sorry you don’t have support at home but we will try. Is it bariatric surgery? Good for you for trying on your own to lose weight. I lost, then regained some, then lost some and now…

I recently discovered I am lactose intolerant. Would seem obvious maybe but I was not sure what was causing digestive issues. I took a food sensitivity test but there are elimination diets that you take things that could be the culprit out of your diet and gradually add them back. I don't know about psoriasis or…

That sounds like a good plan. With nuts I weigh out a single portion instead of eating straight out of container. I learned a lot about portion sizes by logging food.

Is there a reason to cut back on sugar? Some fruits have less sugar. Berries have fiber. I don’t eat much sugar but I do allow myself a small portion of berries.

Wordpress.com offers free blogs. I have one, but few people see it. They have free lessons on how to set it up.

I take 30 mg abilify. It is supposed to be weight neutral. I think it may make me a little hungrier, but not like zyprexa or depakote. I am overweight but I would be hard pressed to blame it on abilify. And, my stability is worth it.

Portion sizes. I now weigh out certain things, like nuts, beforehand rather than eating from the bag

If it is the semantics would you prefer time restricted eating? My dr tells me to fast for blood tests and does not mean over 16 hours

I have a Withings (nokia) Body. No issues, it links with mfp. They have other scales with more functions.

There is a group that has not picked up yet. Fasting for weightloss and overall health. I am a member.

Can you get someone to join you? (If you would like company). I don’t do much more than chores, either. But my husband walks the dog with me which makes it seem like less of a chore itself.
