Honey?
I was wondering for those eating LC, do you ever use honey or maple syrup? One thing I really miss is having a little honey in my tea in the morning. My friend just gave me a jar of honey from her hive, and I'm feeling really deprived not able to have some with eating LCHF.

One Year of Logging In, but I need help!
Today is day 365 of logging into MFP. I've been a member since 2014, but was not consistent. One year ago today I re-committed to getting rid of my excess weight once and for all. One year ago, I could barely walk a few yards without having to stop. I was disgusted with how I looked and felt. I was tired all the time. I…

Intro From New Member
As a new member to the group, I would like to introduce myself. I am not new to SBD or MFP, but I haven’t been following either for a while. I just turned 57, found out I have no cartilage in the side of my left knee joint (bone on bone), and have a couple conditions which cause chronic pain. I feel like my body is really…

New Member Hello
I'm so glad I found this group! I recently turned 57, but there are days that I feel 87. Finding my way back to MFP after a long hiatus. It's really hard to "do it" alone when I have so much weight to get rid of. As I get older, I realize how important it is be strong and healthy. I have a few health issues which affect me…

Eating Lower Carb v. Calories Help Please
I am trying to eat lower carb, not following any formal plan. What this means is that I do not think carbs are "evil" (such as bread, pasta, potatoes, fruit), but I am lowering my intake of these items. I don't do the caculations in figuring out "net" carbs For example, I may eat pasta once a month, or use a very low carb…

Eating on a Cruise Ship
My husband and I are taking our first cruise soon. I'm getting a tad bit nervous being surrounded by food 24/7. I am planning on ordering a berries and cheese platter each morning from room service for snack, (we have a suite so we will have a refrigerator in our room). However, I'm concerned about the meals in the dining…

Afraid of My Body
I'm going to pour out some feelings here... feelings I've kept inside for so many years. I may ramble a bit, so here's your fair warning, if you're not interested, then please move onto next post). I'm 54 years old, and I have never had a positive body image. I've been overweight since I hit puberty (around 13). I know…

When to Lower Calories?
When I started MFP in January, I was eating around 1500 calories. I found out about eating more in early March, so I upped my calories to between 1800 and 1875. I'm fairly sedentary. I'm not fit, I know that. I noticed that most of the people in this group either have a small amount to lose, or are very fit or active. I'm…

BEST PROTEIN POWDER?
I see so many people here that drink protein powder shakes. Do you drink them in the place of eating food? What brand, in your opinion, is the best, and why? I'm not familiar with these products, so please, no snarky comments. Thanks!

Upped Calories - Gaining - When to Lower?
I've read with fever over the past month about upping calories and decided to give it a try. MFP had me at 1540. I was losing 1-2 lbs. a week. I did all the calculations (numerous times and still not sure how many calcs to eat), and I got anywhere from 1800 to 2300 daily calories. I upped my calories to 1825. I'm downright…

Calorie Goal Help Please! (Pretty Please?)
I don't mean to beat this subject to death, but I really need help! I've been reading different sites about how many calories to eat in order to continually lose weight. I'm an intelligent person, but each sites tells me completely different things and it's become mind-numbing. Basic info: My intermediate goal is to lose…

Still Confused About How Many Calories to Eat

I'm really an intelligent person, but each sites tells me completely different things and it's become mind-numbing. I don't know who to believe.

Disappointing Weigh Ins
Not happy with my weigh ins for the past 3 weeks. Three weeks ago, I lost 5 pounds following the MFP's recommendation of 1850 calories. Last week I gained 4 lbs. despite staying within or under my calorie goal. Last week I lowered my calories to 1450. Today I weighed in and only lost 3 pounds. I really expected more…

Do You Eat the Same Breakfast Every Day?
I have found that I need a high protein breakfast. My usual is 1/2 c. EggBeaters and 1/2 c. egg whites scrambled together, and 2 slices of turkey bacon. This is what I have eaten almost every day for the past year. I like it and I haven't tired of it. There have been times where I think maybe I should try something…

Question To Those With 85+ To Lose
How many daily calories do you eat (without exercise)? I need to lose 85 pounds and have my goal set to lose 1.5 pounds per week. I just changed it to lose 2 pounds per week, but I'm thinking that still may be too many calories. I've been under my calorie goal most days (but not by much). I weigh in once a week and was SO…
