@Losinandmovin , as someone who follows a Keto WOE, it disappoints me to see someone so badly representing Keto. It's not only science, it's common sense. The body either uses energy or stores energy. If you put too much energy in (ie, you put in more energy than your body uses) the rest of the energy will be stored and…

@Bishop602 Your exercise calories are additional calories you can consume, so yes, if you eat 1800 but burn 300, you are still within your net calories. :smile:

@eevang You're soooo close to Onederland!!!

As someone who has been-there-done-that, I absolutely second this.

That's so crazy, my starting weight and height are almost exactly the same as yours, but while you're in size 12 jeans I'm in size 20, and while you're in a L or XL top I'm in 2XL!!!!

I don't know how to link to a thread, but look up "Products of interest: Canadian edition". Lots of good stuff on there. I just added an ice cream brand to the list last weekend.

I don't have much insight here, but the yogurt did catch my eye; I love yogurt or cottage cheese for breakfast, but I can't eat them before a workout or I get very nauseous. So maybe try a breakfast without dairy?

If my math is correct, that's 146lbs lost - - I'd say enjoy Maui and don't worry about the few extra pounds you might take home with you! You've proven you know how to work it back off, and the memories of the trip are worth more than the worries about a few pounds. :smile:

Just discovered the Chapman's line of No Sugar Added lactose-free ice cream! I don't need the lactose-free part, but the no sugar added means that I can have a whole cup of Butter Pecan for just 4 net carbs!! Or Dutch Chocolate for just 8 net carbs! And they taste delicious, just like the creamy "real" thing!

Definitely under maintenance, I actually only went 103 over my daily goal. And I ate very well also, I just made sure to bring along several foods to the dinner that I could enjoy without putting me way over budget (nice tossed salad, Brussels sprouts with bacon and garlic, keto mini cheesecakes, diet Pepsi for my…

I'm with @MistressSara -- I like the padding to hide the nips. :smirk:

We have a family of 7, and only 2 of us (not including me!) drink coffee. Even so, we have a Keurig and I couldn't imagine not having it! We use it every.single.day to give us instant hot water for making tea, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal, Mr.Noodles, jello...the list goes on and on. It is used numerous times every day;…

Hey, same height, and same starting weight. I'll keep an eye on you so I can see how I should be looking in a few months. :tongue: Nice work!

So, I tried the Cool Whey Sport line because they are way lower carb (Keto) but I was not impressed at all. Very icy, not creamy, and I found the flavors very unappealing. The only one I marginally liked was the mint chocolate, but I didn't even like that enough to eat more than one serving. I tried a little bit of each…

Add me too, please! :) https://www.fitbit.com/user/65S5GR

Very cool. I'm 5'10" and started at 269, so I was pretty spot on in saying your starting figure looks very similar to mine. Yay, that means hopefully my "at goal" figure will look like yours as well! :smiley:

@CaraMerced

@SusanDSME I'm not running yet, but I'm hoping to get back to it soon. For now I'm walking the Niagara Escarpment stairs a few times each week to build my endurance back up.

Chandra here, will be 44 this month, married mom of five. Have been heavier all my life, but always fit (distance running, CrossFit, half marathons, etc.) until some personal and health problems two years ago caused me to pack on an extra 50 pounds in about half a year. Working on getting that off (plus an extra 40 that…

That's strange, your dog doesn't seem to notice them! :tongue:

Looks great! Can I ask what your height/weight stats were/are? Your starting build looks very much like mine...
