Diet Distress
I recently lost 70 pounds on my way to my goal of 100 pounds of weight loss when things started to go off the rails of my keto train. I started working in a cheat meal once a month, but I think that got my appetite for carbs revved up. I stopped the keto diet in August roughly around 200 pounds. I am currently about 215…

Popping sensation in chest
I have lost a little over 70 pounds, mostly from my midsection. Recently, I noticed when I pressed on my torso, just under my sternum on the right side, I get a popping feeling. Would it be loose fat going under the sternum? Cartilage maybe that was expanded when I was heavier? Doesn't really hurt, just seems out of the…

Gain weight after running?
I am a new runner. This past weekend, I ran/walked 3.7 miles and I gained two pounds. I assume this is muscles retaining water for repair? My running program said I burned like 700+ calories so I was a bit confused.

First 5K tomorrow!
Running/walking first 5K tomorrow. I am only in week 3 of Couch to 5K program, but this event was something I really wanted to do, thus I know I will not be able to run it all, but I still look forward to the challenge. Any tips for a first timer?

Ran my first 5K this morning
So, finished my first 5K this morning. Seemed longer than I anticipated. I started my day with a protein bar and then when I got to the airport for the race, we visited some vendor tables and they had a box of donuts. Well, thinking I was going to run over three miles, what a perfect time for a donut. I could tell my body…

MFP macros
I have about 40 more pounds to lose and my macros were reset in MFP due to me messing around with my goals. Should I just leave the macros where they are via MFP? I assume they are based on the goals I have set up as far as weight loss, my age, etc?

Back to Keto?
Entering the third week after stopping Keto, I have not lost weight even though I have been sticking to a 1,500 calorie per day diet. My lowest weight was 206.8 on Keto. I am now at 208.2. If I am not back in the 205 or 206 range by Monday, I am jumping back on the Keto diet to guide me through the final 40 pounds of…

Too many compliments?
I started out at 270 and have lost 63 pounds. My goal is 169, which is still probably a bit overweight. Well, people at work are constantly calling me "skinny" and telling me I am wasting away to nothing. I guess I should enjoy it, but I'm sure others get tired of hearing it. I will sometimes remark that I will show you my…

C25K question
I started my C25K program today. It says Week 1 Day 1, Week 1 Day 2, and Week 1 Day 3. Do you rest for four days before starting week 2? Or go every other day? I just assumed you did them every day.

Running differences
I have never been a runner, but in an effort to lose weight, I have attempted to run a bit. At the gym, I have made it up to running two miles without stopping. Well, I thought I would take my game outside, running around my 1/2-mile block last night. Man, what a difference. I was huffing after just that short distance.…

Protein issues
Having come off the Keto diet a week ago, I find myself now having a hard time getting enough protein for my macros (40% carbs/35% protein/25% fat). Other than the obvious lean meats what other good protein alternatives are there? I assume protein bars are a no no. Also, does this seem like a good macro for weight loss?

From Keto to simply counting calories
I have been doing Keto since March and have lost 63 pounds on my 100-pound weight loss journey. I got burnt out on Keto, so a few days ago, I started simply counting calories with my adjusted macros. I have not really gained or lost during this time period, but would expect to start losing again within a few days. Any…

First Week Post Keto
Almost a week since I stopped Keto after having done it for six months, losing 60 pounds. I also just stopped HBP medication. I am now up 3 pounds for the week. Not sure which is adding the weight, the diet change or the water retention from stopping the HBP meds. I currently weigh 209 and I am 5-9. I started at 270 and my…
