Anyone on Low Carb / Keto?
My doctor told me that basically the only way I will lose weight is to cut carbs. I have read multiple articles on low-carb and keto diets and have been eating low carb for 2 weeks now. I feel better, but haven't weighed myself to see if any pounds have come off. Just curious if others are doing this, how many carbs do you…

Thyroid Question
So my physician has performed blood tests to verify my thyroid is fine and there are no issues or concerns there. I went in for a check up the other day and she basically said that my thyroid is huge and is sending me for an ultrasound to check it...has this happened to anyone else and what was the outcome?

Calories burned in the kitchen...
So here is my question for anyone that would like to help me out...I spent about five hours in the kitchen cooking and canning jam today...I looked it up under exercise and MFP calculated over 865 calories burned...this seems excessive.

energy and motivation help
Hi! I have been on mfp for about 5 weeks and lost really well the first 3-4 weeks but the past week haven't seen any improvement and am just exhausted. Is this normal?

pics vs. mirrors
So I had the rudest of awakenings today and curious if this has happened to anyone else...left the house feeling pretty decent, I had dropped 21 lbs so far, my jeans are fitting a little better, my hair looked good etc. Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely not on denial that I need to lose about 100 more pounds, but I took…

So I LOVE salt...and its fine in moderation but I am borderline high blood pressure and talked my dr. Into foregoing medication for a few months while I attempt to lose weight and get my bp down through diet/weight loss.

massive overeater
Does anyone have this problem: I cannot seem to eat a normal portion of foods. I have been on mfp for 4 days and doing good but my issue is that every time I start to diet I do well for a few weeks then I fall off the wagon in a huge way...I will eat an entire package of cookies! Or a whole box of crackers (or both...),…

30 Day Shred - Day 2
So, I started the 30 Day Shred yesterday...didn't think it was too bad, I really like that it's only 20 minutes and it moves fast. I'm out of shape and can only do the 'girlie' version of the push ups and had to stop for a minute once, but felt really good afterwards. HOLY MOLY...today I'm a hot mess...I feel like every…
