I then decided to have a cheat night with drinks and food with hubby and never got back on after that. Ive gained about 8lbs back. I KNOW its all about calorie deficit in the…

short workouts and supplements
So i am getting back into the gym after some time off. Im over weight, out of shape and just CAN NOT find the push to do an intense workout. I bus to the gym before work so due to when buses start to run and when i have to be at work I only have 30-40mins to work out. So many people have said to push hard to make the most…

Now that im doing keto and anything that fits into my low carbs, are also low cals for the most part, im finding i reach my carb count way before I reach my calories. Depending on the day, (as i looked back…

I dont like to feel deprived and as much as i felt great on keto and lost weight, cant get my head back in the game to stay that low and are constantly over and cheating.

So i am on my third week of keto. I lost 8lbs my first week and a half. Then went up two, then back down 1 and now were really slow moving. I get after the initial water weight that can happen.

My question is..i know they say to eat less than what you burn in a day. Fitbit has me at 2000 for cals burnt today and gave me this back. Should i be eating these…

Step miscalculation
I just got a fitbit over christmas and have noticed today from a bumpy bus ride, it jumped up 35 extra points. Im wondering how many false steps im being accounted for in a day.

Food to turn into fat
This may be a dumb question, im no pro at this yet, but how long does it take to see the true effects of negative eating on the scale? for food to turn to fat. Aka if i ate not the greatest over the weekend due to family events (alcohol,eggnog, sweets), would the scale this morning reflect that? Or does it take a few days…
