Recs for vegan protein bar? Lunch challenges....
There are SO many out there! I’m obviously trying to find the best choice in terms of protein content vs calories. I’m sort of experimenting with the bars right now for lunch, before I was having 2 slices of protein bread with peanut butter but I feel the bar is probably a better option. I’m eating the No Cow bar in…

Strategy for a 3 week vacation overseas
Yes, that's me...going to the USA for 3 whole weeks this July. Basically, I'm trying to start thinking about how I want to do this already now. I am sure there are people out there somewhere that could keep themselves in ketosis while traveling, but for me it's a bit lofty to assume I can do that with unfamiliar foods, and…

What do you have your daily calories set at?
I just automatically went for 1300 calories because that's what I've always done, but found out that was a bit too crazy to begin with (almost a 900 calorie per day deficit). After calculating my BMR, and then calculating my daily needs, I learned that I needed 2000 calories to maintain my current weight. Based on that, I…

Ladies, low carb and weight loss goals?
I'm trying to set up some challenging, but still achievable goals for myself, and I'm hoping some of you ladies can share some of your short term/long term weight loss goals, and if you've met them (or some of them) how long it took you to get there. So. I've got a stint this July as the maid of honor in my sister's…

Day 18...suddenly feeling crappy keto flu again?
I'm keeping calm and ketoing on :laugh: ...... BUT...... I was surprised to wake up today feeling crappy. Since yesterday I've had kind of a dull headache and today I'm just feeling very sluggish and kind of a bit nauseated. I'm trying really hard to drink water (although I'm definitely struggling today). I'm taking a…

Have you tried to lose weight before through other methods?
Today I was just looking at some of the results I've had in the past with my previous weight loss attempt. I followed the recommended MFP eating plan, which is essentially eating low calorie/low fat and followed that pretty closely for 9 months. My total loss in 9 months was 40 lbs, with an average of 4 lbs per week.…

Mentally in it, but what's up with this plateau? Help!
Hey everyone! So...I've been here for almost 7 months, and have lost 32 lbs, and very pleased. I have a lot of physical challenges due to a chronic illness so I rely on getting my exercise through what I guess most view as everyday activities: slow walking, household cleaning/chores and occasionally swimming. I saw great…

Need some advice about yoga please!
I started with hatha yoga few weeks ago (I have been twice.) I absolutely loved it, and have bought a membership and plan to continue once a week. My question for those of you who practice yoga, is when I should try to move on to beginners yoga. I have fibromyalgia and ME/Chronic Fatigue syndrome, so I have to be careful…

Ladies, I need some clothing suggestions for an event!
So at the end of the month I've got a 10 year reunion coming up! It is a casual setting. These are people that were part of a intensive short term 4 month study that I participated in(kind of hard to explain). Suffice to say I'm really excited and very happy to see these people that I haven't seen in so long, and getting…

Suprised...anyone have thoughts?
My food diary is open, and I would love if anyone would have a look and give me some feedback. I feel like I'm losing SO slowly, even though I feel like I'm eating plenty and even been able to do twice a week exercise (I have a chronic illness to contend with). I feel like I have worked SO hard and I am at a loss. I ate a…

Chronic illness and working out
I feel like I've got the hang of eating, and am starting to see patterns and learn a lot about where I went wrong before with food. But I do have a big challenge, and that is having a chronic illness. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. My main symptoms from these are fatigue, nausea, muscular/bone pain and…

Just starting, would love some advice on overcoming some bad
Hello everyone! I am new here, and read through quite a bit but hoped that maybe some MFP's could take the time to help me out with some challenges I'm meeting after making the commitment to changing my lifestyle. Basically, my eating habits have been, like many people, heavily influenced by my moods and bouts of…
