Keto diet anyone??
Not sure if there's a topic for this already. If so please ignore this! I just recently started on the keto diet. I'm on about day 4 and I'm just wondering approx how long it takes to actually get into ketosis? Thanks!

Same clothes, a year and a half later.
Went from 235 pounds to about 170 or so. I haven't weighed myself in months so I have no idea what I am currently but I'm sure it's in the 170 area. I still have a ways to go to my goal weight, but I figured I'd share this picture.

Healthy savoury crepe recipe?
My mom is planning to make some savoury crepes tomorrow for dinner. I asked her for her recipe and figured that each crepe(without anything inside), would be about 150 calories. That's way too much, so I'm wondering if anyone has a healthy recipe for crepes that doesn't require too many weird or obscure ingredients.…

I'm still confused about what TDEE is..
I'm on a website to calculate my TDEE at my current weight, and then what it will be again at my goal weight, with the amount of times I exercise (about 3 times a week). It's saying that right now, my BMR is 1535 cals/day, and TDEE is 2110 cals/day. And at my goal weight, my BMR is 1285 cals/day and my TDEE is 1766…

I think I'm becoming bulimic..:\
I keep snacking late at night out of boredom or just cause I have a craving at the time, and end up eating a ridiculous amount. Tonight is the 4th time in a week that I've made myself throw up. I feel like it's my way of punishing myself for having gone over on calories. I hate doing it though. I don't wanna continue on…

MFP inspiring me to pursue a career in nutrition..
Not really sure where else to post this, but I really wanted to post it somewhere. I've been so unsure of what I wanted to do with my life in terms of a career after finishing high school. I took a college course that I lost interest in and ended up dropping out of, and since then I had no idea what I really wanted to do.…

How long will it take to see results?
I've just started going to the gym regularly, doing both swimming and using gym machines for working out certain muscles. I really wanna tone my arms cause they're REALLY flabby. I'm just wondering how long it'll take to see results if I go once or twice a week(pretty much every day I have off work). I know it won't happen…

Having trouble staying under my calories lately..
I eat 1200 a day and it just seems like not enough lately. I've just been having trouble and end up giving in to cravings and over eating. How can I stop this? I try to have self control but it's not easy. :(

How to relieve stress/anxiety/depression without medication
I saw a psychiatrist for the first time on Saturday and he prescribed me some antidepressants. I was really wanting to take them until I got them and started reading the long list of side effects that come along with it. I haven't taken any yet, and would really rather not if I don't absolutely have to. I'm hoping to find…

Sugar is scary..
I'm watching a documentary about the effects of sugar on the body. I never knew it was this bad. Dear lord. Fructose apparently messes with your brain so that it won't send messages to your body that you're full. So you'll keep eating because your brain thinks you're still hungry. This is terrifying. Why isn't there more…

When did you start your diet/lifestyle change?
My one year anniversary for my diet is tomorrow, and I'm just wondering, how long has everyone else been on theirs? Have you stuck with it pretty much the whole way through? How hard was it? How much farther do you have to go? I'm about halfway to my goal weight currently. :)

Sigh...I hate binge eating..
I love that my family is so supportive of my diet, but my mom still buys a ton of junk food. She claims it's "only for her to eat", but she doesn't even eat it sometimes! And it's so tempting. She buys cookies and all kinds of junk food and sigh it's so yummy...so I just ate like a bunch of those cookies. Ughhhh. :( It…

50+ pounds down. Still another 50ish to go! Pics included!
Took a picture today of me in my new work uniform and decided to compare it to a picture I took a year ago. I'm still only about halfway to my goal weight of 120 pounds, but I couldn't believe the difference when I finally looked at pics side by side. So happy with myself right now. :)

Religion being forced on me will soon ruin my diet...HELP.
So here's the story. My family is Muslim. I'm not. Ramadan is starting next week, which is the month where you fast everyday from sunrise to sunset. No food or drink during that time. So, up until last year, my mom thought I was still Muslim, so I pretended to fast while secretly having a snack or two throughout the day.…

How to get back into dieting after a big set back.
So..I came back from a cruise a couple weeks ago. I ate..well, a lot. I couldn't really count calories during it because the internet there was SO expensive so I didn't even bother. I thought I'd be able to keep myself in check but I went totally overboard(no pun intended). After the cruise we drove down to Seattle for a…

Trying to help my mom with weight loss..
My mom's been overweight ever since I was born. She used to be a healthy weight but she's not anymore. And she always talks about wanting to lose weight, but never really does. She tries to "diet" but ends up pigging out the next day and then just gives up on it. I've told her all about MFP and encouraged her to do it but…

Your experiences with demotivators.
So, so far I've had no sort of negative comments about my weight loss. My family has been really supportive and compliments me quite often. As do my friends and extended family. However the other day, for the first time since, like, high school, I was made fun of for my weight. And not by someone I know. Just some random…

Post Your NSV's!
Mine for the week: A lot of my clothes are getting too big on me. My grad dress for grade 12 which I made, no longer fits me. It's soooo baggy. :c Which is a shame, because it was such a beautiful dress. But on the plus side, I now fit into a size 16 dress I wanted to wear for my grade 9 graduation that I was never able to…

Stamina NSV yay!
I've noticed just how much more stamina I have now since I started my diet. A few years back I couldn't even run for 10 seconds or climb a flight of stairs without being completely out of breath. The other day when I was heading home, at one point I ran over a minute all at once and I wasn't even breathing too heavily…

Got a Zumba question..
So I just looked up a video of a Zumba workout because I honestly had no idea what it was. Looks super fun and I might wanna get into it because I'm really bored of my treadmill. But I was looking at the list of exercises on MFP and didn't find Zumba listed there. So..would I just put in "general dancing" or what? It…

Looking for friends wanting to lose 60+ pounds~
Think it would be nice to make some friends trying to lose around the same amount as I am. Nothing against people who want to lose 20-30 or anything, but I'll feel a little discouraged if all my friends are hitting their goal weights and I've still got a ways to go. I'm aiming for 140 which means I got about 76 left to go.…

Losing stomach fat and toning..
While I have been losing quite a bit of weight this past month, I've noticed my stomach fat hasn't really been going away at all. People have complimented me on how much smaller I look but when I look at the mirror all I can see is my stomach bulging out. :( I looked up some workouts on YouTube to get a flatter stomach but…

Treating yourself every once in a while..
I've been trying to avoid eating unhealthy foods like pizza, chocolate, baked goods, etc., since I started dieting. But sometimes I'll get cravings and I know if I don't treat myself I'll end up binging. I'll treat myself every few days or once a week to something I usually wouldn't eat. What kind of things can I eat that…

19 years old. Over 200 pounds and ready for change.
I've been using MyFitnessPal for a couple months now but I finally decided to join the online community (I mostly just use the app. I find it easier to use than the website anyway). So..hi! I'm Rania. c: I live in Canadaland and enjoy video games, anime/manga, and other nerdy things. Like the topic says, I'm 19 years old,…
