I do log calories, around 1600/day, and just started blood ketone... .8, and then .2

Shelley Darlington has a video on it on YouTube

Yup!

It works for me. I found sugar never agreed with me and I'll never go back simply because of the way I feel on keto. But I have to do it right, no lazy or dirty keto!

Yes it does work, has helped my belly and neck/chin area!

Hi! I live in Tucson, also have 2 small kids (almost 3 And 7 months) looking to lose weight and gain muscle! Let's motivate each other!

Great job! I am in your boat, 7 month old. Want to lose weight but pacing myself so I don't wind up with extra skin/mom tummy that seems to be forming of extra skin. Doing what I can with dry brushing, collagen supplement and LOTS of water.

I've been doing Keto 2 weeks and noticed about a 25% drop or so in what I pump at work, doesn't seem to be a problem at home though. Tapping into my frozen supply is a little cringing but she's almost 7 months so I think it'll be okay for another few months. I've been trying hard to drink extra extra water and been taking…

That is wonderful! Its things like that that make life carefree! Congrats to your son!

You look great, but I think your cat gained a few pounds!

So embarrassing posting my actual weight, but... starting: 209 current: 183 goal: 135 I know it is a long ways off, but I am so excited! I'm 5'7" by the way.

For protein, I do plain Greek yogurt, but i add splenda and some type of fruit. Or I do plain oatmeal and add splenda and fruit to that as well.

You have soft hair and big ta tas!

I agree with this, you don't need to avoid oils, but do avoid harsh alcohols, as they tend to strip your skin and then your body tries to produce more oil!

I have always had problems with acne, but it has really decreased in the past year. It started up when I started working out more about 6 months ago, and since I cleanse twice a day with both a salicilic acid and small% benzoyl peroxide, plus toner, I knew it had to be something else. I attributed it to changing hormones,…

Actually, i looked into what her measurements are, and the measurements the studio released are not the same as her tailor. Her tailor, who had to mend many ripped garments, reported up to a 28 or 29 inch waist. FYI.

I can never get enough protein! I try protein drinks, greek yogurt, and chicken is my main meat, but can never get over 100 grams! (I'm allergic to eggs), what else is everyone eating to get all this protein?

Yikes, sounds like something that will mess up your metabolism if you do it too long. However, I never understood the benefits of a liquid diet, not if calories are what count??

I eat that every morning, and add splenda and fruit, either bananas, strawberries, or blueberries, but whatever is on sale really. Also, milk. Keeps me full till lunch.

Wow! You really toned up!

I want to look good in all types of clothes...work clothes...bikinis...lingerie, and even naked! I want to hike the hardest trails and spontaneously do pull ups, whatever I feel like, without worrying if my body will agree.

Awww, that's awful! I am sure you have many pretty features your sister doesn't have! You are gorgeous!

I found it very difficult at first, but have happily adjusted to 1200 calories, and usually eat back calories after exercise. Anyone feel free to add me, but I prefer people who like to comment as I comment frequently and am looking for real support, and to provide real support.

FYI, My friend just had it, and I saw her stomach about 6 weeks post surgery...gross! I'd rather have the saggiest tummy than that! Scaring, but its more than that, it look misshaped, and she still has to wear a skin tightening body suit. Just my opinion, give it time. Skin takes a while to heal, but drink lots of water…

I'll usually do an extra workout, and then stuff my face with sugar free brownies! Not too good I know, but I am sure you ladies understand the need for chocolate!!! Plus, the pillsbury sugarfree brownies are absolutely delicious!!! And I believe 60 calories a serving (if I am remembering that right). Also the pillsbury…

I spray the I can't believe its not butter spray on mine, mmmmm! I add seasoning sometimes (powder in the popcorn section, supposedly 5 calories) but I have to spray something on the popcorn or it wont stick.

I'd like to know more about fitbit if anyone has used one. I've read the description on amazon and it somehow even knows when you wake up, but does it measure your calories? What are the advantages?

I run on the treadmill, and do exercise videos at home. I really like anything Jillian Michaels, Denise Austin, and sometimes the Firm (old stuff). However, I try to do as much stuff outdoors as possible for fun, like hiking or playing volleyball with the family.

walk extra long on the treadmill, I don't run if my cramps are too bad, but luckily that's only about 2 days. I find that the walking helps my cramps.
