Big Mistake
So been Keto for a few months now. Doing great. No cravings or anything. This week was really bad. Lots of drama, everything that could go wrong, did. So when my kid asked if we could get pizza I though, “stuff it. Why not.” Ate six large slices. OMFG. my digestive system hates me. My insides have turned to liquid. I…

Downside to Low-Carb
I tend to be a bit lazy in the mornings so keep a supply of protein bars in my desk at work in case I skip breakfast or don't make lunch. Today is the first day since I started low-carb that I needed to dip in to my supply. OMG, the sweetness. I never realised just how sweet they are. So used to having sugary things that…

Can’t eat calories.
So I’m two weeks in to Keto and am supposed to be eating around 1,900 calories, which was easy the first week and a bit. However the last few days I’ve only been able to get over 1,200 by having a bulletproof hot choc before bed. Today is even worse. Didn’t want to eat until lunch and made something quite filling. Now it’s…

I’m in heaven!
With coconut oil and cream. Bulletproof hot chocolate for breakfast! Was so worried that I’d feel like I was missing out going low carb, but I’m having the time of my life!

Classic example of click-bait weight loss articles
Saw this headline "Study reveals the food to avoid for rapid weight loss". Read the article (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=11704438) and it first it tells you that vegetarians lose more weight than meat eaters. Well that doesn't seem right - particularly given the number of…

Need serious help
So between January 2015 and March 2016 I lost 110lbs. It was so freaking easy. Just logged in to MFP, counted my calories, did cardio, and basically just did it. Took Easter off. Decided a few days of not logging and being a chocoholic wouldn't be the end of the world. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. For the past…

Need help getting back on track.
So I've lost over 100lbs since January 2015 using MFP. Thought it was easy, and had it all figured out. Problem is that I still have another 100lbs to go, and I've lost the plot. I'll be on track for a week/ten days, then will binge for a few days. Been in this cycle for a couple of months, not gaining, but not losing…

Time for a break?
So I've lost over 100lbs since January 2015 and still have another 100 to go. Eat 1,500 cals per day and do 10k steps per day (using Fitbit). Lately, while I am still committed and motivated, I've been feeling quite run-down. Low energy, body feels fatigued etc. Also am medicated for anxiety but have been getting stress…

Huge eye-opener
Decided this morning to combine my walk with a supermarket trip. 4km round trip, and because the items I needed were all heavy, the return trip was carrying 28lbs split between a backpack and a carry-bag. (weighed them when I got home) Going to pay for that walk tomorrow! When I got home and got rid of the bags, I felt…

Sadistic Scales
So I have been trying to reach a little mini-goal of being under 120kgs for quite some time now. Came close pre-Christmas, but, well... then Christmas happened (less said the better), and it's taken me a while to recover. No matter, just a small blip. Reached 120.0 a week ago. Been joyfully hopping on the scales every…

Observations after gluttonous weekend
Bit of context; I’m 37 (ew), started here at MFP in January tipping the scales at 366lbs. Since then have lost 92lbs, currently weighing in at 274. Still a long way to go, but on a roll. This last weekend was my birthday, so I decided to hell with MFP, I’m going to eat whatever the hell I want for the weekend. What an…

HELP ME!!!
Oh dear lord, give me strength. I've just about hit MFP Bingo sitting at freaking work! I made a remark, not even disparaging, about Paleo, fifteen minutes later, the three woman who surround me are still on an organic, no chemikillz, whole food, paleo tirade. FIFTEEN FREAKING MINUTES. I've retreated back to my desk to nom…

Lesson learned!
So, I've been faithfully logging for 140+ days, never once going over my calories, and have lost 57lbs. You would think, after all that, that I would have learned portion control and restraint.... right? Apparently not! Yesterday was my daughters birthday, and she always calls the shots. i.e. she didn't have to go to…

Quarter of the way there!
Four months in, 53 pounds down. 159 to go. Thanks to MFP, I got this :smiley:

This looks like it belongs here.

For the lulz
Just spotted this on Imgur - snorted loudly enough that I thought some MFPers might be amused.

Importance of weighing your food
I know some people disagree with the need to weigh their food, and hey, if they're succeeding without doing so, full power to them, fantastic! However, I just wanted to give a little example of how weighing your food can help. So, got a packet of Cadbury Creme Eggs (I love Easter). The nutritional information on the packet…

Ugh Co-workers
Sorry, but I need to vent. Co-worker 1 is doing a diet where she eats about 700 calories a day, three days a week, rest of the week eats whatever she wants, oh and takes "fat burning" pills. Co-worker 2 eats only 400 calories a day for two weeks, then eats whatever she wants for six weeks. Both of them are convinced that…

Nutrition in homemade chicken stock
Hi guys So, I've gotten pretty adept at using the recipe builder, but this one has got me stumped. I'm going to make some chicken stock with chicken bones, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and some herbs and spices. How the heck do I work out calorie content etc? I mean it's flavoured water..... that will have picked up…

Artichoke Hearts
Hi everyone! So, I've never had artichoke hearts before, they're not very common here (New Zealand), but I bought some the other day because I've always wanted to try them. Would love some suggestions on how to cook them, and what flavours work best. Thankies :smile:
