NSV - didn't cave at an event today
I went to an offsite event where I couldn't control the food served. There were lots of carb loaded snacks like pretzels, crackers, cookies, fruit and candy to snack on. I was fairly sure I would be tempted but I stayed on plan (<20 g carbs) and was able to snack on meats and cheeses and celery and eat around the other…

Hi everyone... I'm back on the keto-wagon and eating <20 g net carbs / day and still no appreciable loss and ketostix are still negative. Can someone look at my diary and tell me what I should change?

Need help with macros
I am new to keto, although given that I've been borderline diabetic (with periods of insulin dependence) my whole life I probably should have found this sooner... Anyways, I have easily been able to give up sugars and starches - even fruit tastes too sweet now. I used the macro calculator at…

Lunge modifications? Any PTs/other MFPers with suggestions?
I blew out both achilles tendons in an accident a few years ago. I had bilateral repairs, sat around in double casts for 2.5 mo., and 18 mo later finished my PT/rehab with dr. approval to start working out again... as long as I did low impact/no strain on the repairs. That means: no running, jumping, walking on inclines,…

Kettlebell workouts - Cardio? Strength? Both??
I love doing the prevention.com kettlebell workout at home, but I'm confused as to how to log it. It FEELS like a cardio workout, but I know some of the moves (like the squat press) are strength moves. Any suggestions as to how to log in MFP?

Mix it up or not?
After my accident, I was unable to do any exercise for about 18 mo. I completed my PT in Sept. and got the okay to start low impact cardio - I started rowing and riding again. I ride 2-3 days a week (at least 1 horse (mine), sometimes 3 or 4 in a day, depending on who my trainer needs ridden). I've been rowing (either HIIT…

Shaking after workout?
I had a weird thing happen after my workout today... I did a Tabata sequence on the rower with a 2 min cool down. It's "normal" for me to be a little week in the knees after (it is a 110% effort, after all), but today I had shaking (hands, knees, everything) even after my HR had returned to normal. I ate breakfast and ate…

MFP Newbie!
I just joined today and can tell I am going to love MFP! I have been actively trying to lose weight for a few weeks and have employed a wellness coach who encouraged me to journal my food intake. I looked at about a dozen mobile apps before stumbling across MFP! I am a 47 yo mom of 3 who, until a few years ago, had no…

Anyone row (erg)?
I've just started rowing (and actually purchased a rowing machine for home) and I love it! I'm wondering if there are any other rowers out there? What workouts are your favorites? I do a Tabata workout 4-5x a week and a longer, moderate workout 1-2x a week.
