I started a Standard Ketogenic Diet last july and I've lost 120lbs since, with hardly any exercise. Feel free to add me. I'm not terribly active on here, as I don't really record my calories anymore (I've learned how to portion things) but I'm open to questions anytime.

Hi there! Welcome to MFP - I've found it a completely NECESSARY tool in the journey to weight loss. I started out around 314lbs with a goal of 150 (135 as an ultimate) - Which is 167lbs total plus some I'd like to lose!... Scary number, but check this out! I've managed to lose with education (THE MOST IMPORTANT), exercise…

English BMR Formula Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years ) Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year ) Metric BMR Formula Women: BMR = 655 + ( 9.6 x weight in kilos ) + ( 1.8 x height in cm ) - ( 4.7 x age in…

I've recently lost over 100lbs and struggle with positive attention also. I learned early on that subject changes work the best - so long as its relative to the situation. I spent some time educating myself about my lifestyle change (currently on a Ketogenic diet) and when I get a complement I shift the focus to my diet,…

I used to play Everquest back when kunark was first released and around 5 years intermittently after that. I played wow for just about the same amount of time, on and off aswell. I've played Rift, And Aion, Lord of the Rings Online and heeps of the asian flavored grind fests. I'm not sure what it is about mmos that are…

SO great to see so many gamers :) I'm really into RPGS, so anything sprinkled in that flavor suits me just fine. Looking forward to Diablo 3 as well!

Yes it does!

Thanks mrsnathanandrew! :) Beautiful eyes!

Yeah, I had my time in WoW, but those days are over. I just don't have the time/patience to raid with 13 year olds :(! If any of you use steam, go ahead and add me. My username on there is: shockraven

smply - Your figure improvement is impressive :)

I played a couple days of SWTOR, but it didnt strike me as worth investing in. Normally I'm all over any MMO because I love them but I've invested so much money and time in games that eventually flopped. Tera caught my eye, but I don't really know much about it. I didn't even really hear about it until a month ago. I'm…

Been watching for a while, how do you like the game? I didn't get a chance to try it in beta, but I still have the client installed. Been looking for something worth while but it seems that companies are pumping out mediocre mmos for cash grabs these days.

You look amazing! What a difference. I really needed to read this today! I've been on a weight loss journey myself now for nearly a year and I've lost over 100lbs myself, but I still have some pounds to go. Making excuses to eat poorly when I'm so close to success couldn't make me feel as good as you look, ever! Congrats…

That kind of work, or any kind of underground/illegal situation is riddled with abuse of all sorts, because its harder to seek out help legitimately. Whatever you decide make sure you are safe.

Thanks everyone SO much! Any Keto questions can be answered by reading this wall of text here: http://josepharcita.blogspot.ca/2011/03/guide-to-ketosis.html It's where I started researching weight loss :)

Welcome to MFP! I've lost over 100lbs in just over 7 months using the Ketogenic diet. Its been working great for me, feel free to add me :) I've got around 70 more to go.

Thanks SO much everyone. It took me until to day to say, wow! I'm a success!.. Half of one anyway :D! If anyone needs any encouragement, please add me! I've also got a big boot I can kick your rear with if you need it. Good luck all with your goals. So glad to inspire! Oh and sorry! I know I am personal fan of picture…

Yay! Another Keto friend. Thanks for the add and good luck finding more of us! Avoid the forums unless they are low-carb friendly places or posts, otherwise you get a lot of static :) Looking forward to taking this journey with you!

There are pre-packed up spices for hollandaise, I prefer the international brand, less lemony, unless you are into that kind of thing. That should help, but its a bit higher in carbs if you don't make it fresh. Nice recipe! overheadcam2 - There are lots of dieters on here who have specific diets that don't follow regular…

Why are you avoiding things that are high in fiber and low in carbs? Like green leaf veggies, such as spinach, leaf lettuce, broc, cauli? Not worried about micro-nutrients? They keep you stronger and more energized. Though sweet potatoes are fabulous, I'd encourage some variety, to make sure you aren't lacking in other…

Hey Mary :) I always do pre-cooked weight, they take into account the extra fat then. If you are struggling to reach a certin fat/protein ratio in your keto I'd suggest trying to add in some sort of oil into everything you cook, I hear that coconut oil tastes great in coffee :) I'd also suggest not trying to rely on your…

Hey there! I'm 5'5! 27, mother of two little girls :) Great to see a thread related to my height! I am unsure of my "bone size" but I heard its hard to tell with the obese. I've got a long way to go, but I'm getting there. I started out really trying to lose weight on the 9th of July, this year, and I've gotten down 38lbs…

Mini challenges! What a great concept, I've got a couple that have been nagging at me, time to get'er done! 1. Drink a gallon of water everyday! 2. Don't touch my scale at all! Good luck me and everyone else. We CAN do this!

Thanks panda, I think I'm going to go back up to 1900 for a few days and see what my body thinks of that.. NEXT TIME I wont mess with it. If it ain't broke, dont fix it ;) Stupid body..

I do intervals, I walk 10 minutes to warm up, then spend the next 20 or so going from speed walking to jogging, to flat out running and back again. So.. its like this: 10 minute warm up at a leisurely stroll, around 2mph - I'm lucky because I like about a 10 minute walk from the trail I use to run on. Then I move up to…

Thanks very much chevy, I'll take your advice and go back up. I might not go all the way back up to 1950, but if I go to 1870 and keep exercising I should see some results again. And yeah, I am just being impatient. Appreciate the reply here and on my profile :) Glad to have you along on this journey.

Terrible bumping my own post, but I want at least 1 reply before I'm lost to page 2 and beyond! ;_;

Loving it already! Thanks everyone :)

Awesome :) Nice to meet you ladies! Looking forward to the carb-less conversations haha :)

Hi there... I'm not following a Paleo diet, but I am similarly low-carb (Ketogenic Diet) - I'm still new on it, but I've done a lot of reading for both types of lifestyles. On Keto there is no cheating, if you eat too many carbs you are thrown out of Ketosis and thus are not following the specific guidelines laid out for…
