Net carbs?
I’m looking to aim for 25 net carbs per day, but when I put in what I’ve had to eat today (plus an estimate for later) I’m over by 2. It’s simple things I’d never think of, like red peppers, green beans, etc. How do you keep your net carbs within a decent range?

Never craved sweets - until now!
It’s funny I was never big on sweets, candy, etc. Now that’s all I want. What are your go-to foods to curb these cravings?

I don’t want to have to feel guilty about this
Ok so I’ve been doing very well with the Keto diet. I’ve also been doing outstanding with respect to limiting my alcohol intake. My weakness is beer.... So, I have went from a 2-3 a day beer drinker to a 2 beers maximum a week. I just don’t know how this will ruin my efforts. If it’s going to be a make or break, I’m not…

Less brain fog.
One official week into Keto and I can honestly say I have such a clear mind. I sleep better and I feel like I have way more energy. Now this is how I want to feel!

Giving this a go
Hey all, good to join here. I’ve always pretty much been low carb in the sense of my diet, but I haven’t followed Keto and paid attention to macros. This will be my first time really pinning down a calorie and percentage goal. Looking forward to starting this, and off to the grocery store to stock up!

Finally a runner
I completed the C25K program about two weeks ago, then a massive blister on my heel sidelined me for a bit. I’m happy I finished the program because my goal has always been to run. Question for the runners out there, what kind of schedule do you use with respect to weight training and running? Thanks in advance!

Hi there new life!
Well here we go. Day 1 of my new life. Top of my to-do list is reclaiming control of my life and my body. It’s mine. Gonna take care of it. That means serious work out plans, feeding my body with good food, water, etc. Bad habits need to go. I’ll be including meditation and self-improvement as well. Stop focusing on…

Stress, major life changes and 15 lb gain
Well I’m back. Disappeared for awhile. Realized a lot of things over this time and am prepared and working towards making major changes in my life. While certain things are in the works, I basically let myself go. Lots of drinking, poor eating, bad sleep habits etc. I figure that focusing hard on myself is going to give me…

New! Going "Old School" :)
Hi everyone! I've decided to kick it old school when it comes to my weight loss approach. Back in the day (I'm going to say nearly 15 years ago, yikes) I signed up at a gym for the first time. I loved going. I lost that stubborn weight I had tried to lose for a while. I even had this exact name on some message board I…

Nuvaring - what's going on here!
I recently switched from the Pill to nuvaring. Been on it for two weeks now. I know, I have to give it more time to settle itself out, but things are weird. For starters, my period has not stopped since I inserted it two weeks ago. Secondly, my stomach is so protruded and massive. I'm frustrated by the big belly, I mean, I…

I'm just so ready.
I thought about posting this since I joined, but held off because I thought I was going to come across in an unappealing way. A lot has been happening in my personal life over the last year. Slowly I'm starting to get the pieces fitting back together. This has involved me putting health and fitness on the back burner and…

Somewhat nervous to start back at the gym
I know that sounds really strange. I'm not embarrassed to work out, I'm not shy. I fear failure. I feel like I'm going to just not go, like I've done so many times in the past. I know I just have to make that commitment. Just go four or five days a week. Just show up. Just do something. I fear those excuses creeping in. I…
