Then or Now? - Preparing for vacation.
Hi, guys. I might be overthinking this, but I could certainly use some perspective. I've been eating keto (though not ALWAYS tracking, I found I was getting obsessive lately, so I've settled down) since late-ish June? I've lost 31lbs so far, which is great, but I have a trip coming up next Friday. And I'm going to Disney.…

A little help wouldn't hurt, if you have time.
Hi! I've been lurking for a while, reading just about everything that I can, but I still have questions. I'm totally okay with being linked to things, but I promise that I have read a ton on here about LCHF. I technically started 'low carb' attempts about a month ago. I didn't realize how many carbs were in things like…

Walking without pain.
So, funny story. Except it wasn't that hilarious to me… I went for a walk tonight, which used to be no big deal even when I was 30lbs heavier. But tonight, when I went out with the dog, the sides of my feet started to ache. At first, I was like 'Hey, whatever, it's been a few days.' But the further I got, the worse my feet…

Understanding fat intake.
Okay, so.. I found a few topics on here about TDEE. Specifically this one: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/819055-setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets?page=1 And where it says to figure out your macros, my math is coming back saying I'm supposed to be taking in 40% fat? Is that accurate? My protein is expected to…

Getting down to business.
So, I actually never posted one of these when I first started MFP. I had no friends on here until I started reading the posts in the Community section. Realizing that motivation via other people was one of the main reasons I was able to go as long as I did, I'm back to properly introduce myself. Hi! My name is Stevie. I'm…

Climbing out of the Rut.
So, I've been trying to lose weight for about 346 days now. I mean, obviously longer than that, but so far, I've been consistently "watching" for 346 days on MFP. Unfortunately, with graduating school, I was really busy. And I wasn't able to pay complete attention to everything I was eating and also, I couldn't exercise…

Obese Hula Hooping
So, we're all friends here, right? Does anyone else have a really hard time hula hooping? I've been at this for over a month trying to get the dumb hoop to keep going around. And I look like a crazy person as I'm trying to keep it in rotation. It either hits my chest and bounces off or I pop my hips in a weird way and it…

My NSV.
Sooo, I know a lot of people choose to eat sugar and keep it a part of their daily lifestyle. But because it was SUCH a big hang up for me, I decided to get rid of it from my diet. I'm over a month sugar-free in terms of cupcakes, cake, cookies, etc. If sugar is naturally in bread or something, I can't avoid it. I used to…
