Adrenal Reset & Keto - energy and mental clarity
Curious if anyone has tried this? I have been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue before and am again addicted to coffee, hopelessly addicted....I would like to have the choice if I am going to have a coffee or not. I literally get migraines without it. Not cool. I remember years ago doing Atkins and being shocked how much…

I was discouraged until I did the math.
(I copied this from a post I made in another forum. Sorry for the double read :) ) Hi everyone! I have been frustrated that I'm seemingly not losing *any* weight. So, I decided to wear my HR charge to see how many calories I burn and carefully weigh and measure my food. It was been about 2-3 weeks and I barely see any…

How many calories did it take you
Hi all - I know everybody is different, but I'm curious how many calories It took you guys to start seeing weight loss? I'm probably averaging around 1500-1600, and I'm hesitant to really cut back more, slow and steady is fine for me...but just curious what worked for you. I'm not exercising much right now. Thanks :)

This is when I normally get discouraged...
So I've been pretty good with my calories, and even yesterday when I was a little high, nothing I ate was really excessive. I have gone to the gym two days in a row. I woke up feeling puffy and bloaty, and sure enough I'm up 2 pounds. I know I didn't gain two pounds overnight, but it's still discouraging. Like, sure I can…

It's 6:45
To go to the gym, or to not go to the gym. That...is the question. Anyone else heading out soon?

Booty Boosters!
Hi all! I'm sure this has been asked before but what do you find are the best workouts to produce a bubble bum! My butt is pretty nice but looking a tad deflated...probably from sitting on it so much

What derails you?
Hi everyone - I have been thinking a lot lately about what, exactly, is it that derails us completely? I am trying to make a more conscious effort to be mindful of the stuff that my brain tells me...the messages it is conditioned to send, you know? I get derailed when I tell myself, and believe things like: - It doesn't…

I'm 5'3 currently 131 and would like to get to 118ish. Has anybody successfully shed those last few pounds and got them off to stay? if so,…

Awesome girl, 5'3/135lbs/Phoenix, seeks dedicated calorie counting friends
Hey all! I'm a shorty. You can see every pound on me. I'm not losing on ~1500-1600 calories a day. I've got to stick to about 1200. Friend me if you're pretty strict with your diet and looking for friends / inspiration to keep you on track. I've got a long history with dieting/weightloss, and I feel like I have 'let myself…

Longer Term Success Stories
Hi all - I'm sorry if this is already posted somewhere, but I couldn't figure out how to search the forum. Can anyone speak to there longer term success story? Like, a year-ish or so? Pics? I did Atkins a few years ago and got reinterested in ketogenic diets as helpful for anxiety. Theyre often used for epileptics with…

Hot flow yoga
Hey - just wondering what you would estimate for an hour of a hot flow yoga. It was pretty intense, and lots of fast beating heart and sweat, lots of challenging poses and flow. Anyone familiar with yoga, i appreciate your insight! I just don't wanna use the generic numbers in the app. Thx!

French Toast
Hi all! What would you estimate the calories are in french toast that you would get in a restaurant? I had two pieces this morning and I didn't put any butter on it, and it didn't taste super sweet or buttery.....I dipped it in one of those packets of maple syrup and didn't even use half of it. I have an idea in my head,…

Ate soooo much...
Hi all, I haven't been sticking to the 5:2 consistently, and honestly have only really done a couple fast days. But, today and yesterday were 2500+ calories and I'm feeling like, kinda freaking out ish. So yeah, I want to do a fast tomorrow, ~500 calories, to kind of reset. Is that bad? I want to be cognizant of using this…

I hate you, alcohol
So. many. friggen. calories in alcohol!!!!! I ate in excess of 3000 calories on Sunday cause I drank all night. I am not a full pound higher than when I started..... Continuing to record as accurately as possible. I'm noticing that I'm not doing the things I need to do to lose weight. Trying to remember to be…

So I eat a lot more than I thought....
Since I've been accurately logging every single day, I'm very surprised at how much I can consume. I've mentioned before that I would not always log my "bad days". Well now that I have been, I either see that a) they're not actually that bad or b) they're a lot of calories! Gosh, really a dirty martini has THAT many cals?…

Friday = Fast Day!
Who's with me? Today is my birthday and I'm on my way out for dinner, and I'm not going to go cray cray but I'm going to eat what I want. Which is probably going to include both wine and pasta. I'm not STARVING so I should be just fine. Who's fasting with me tomorrow?

Interested
Hi all, While there's a part of me that says NO DON'T DO IT, ITS A FAD, there's another big part that wants to try it out. Sorry if this has already been posted, but curious if you guys a) track every day, b) how much you eat on a fast day and c) how much you eat on a non-fast day? I kinda just want to do this until I get…

Accurate Logging - Lesson Learned
So, I learned an interesting lesson today by logging all my food - everything - accurately. Traditionally I would log on days when I was trying to be "good"; as soon as I thought I messed up a bite or two, I was like eff it, I'm not recording today. Seeing high numbers on my calorie total made me feel terrible. Well today…

Cold ears

A Pint of Beer....
Why does beer have to have so many calories? Granted, in all honesty I prefer vodka or wine over beer, but we're going to a brewery tonight for a friends' birthday and I want to have a darn pint of beer. I logged it preemptively, and it's just over 200 calories for a light beer, 16 oz. I've got room in my day for it, but…
