Advice from anyone in ketosis
Since the beginning of the year, I've been in ketosis following ow carb and high protein and high fat. I've lost 14 pounds so far, which is decent considering my starting weight was 175. However, I hit a plateau a few weeks ago; I haven't lost a single pound in the month of February. I'm thinking I should get out of…

Thoughts on shirataki noodles?
I just finished reading "Good Calories, Bad Calories" and now I'm reading the "Fat Fast Cookbook." I haven't heard of any amazing results from a fat fast on MFP, so not sure I'll do one -- but I am enjoying the recipe ideas. They mention shirataki noodles as the only low-carb, keto-safe noodle out there. I haven't had…

Successfully lost weight without exercise?
I just underwent two minor surgeries. Very minor, but I have two sets of stitches in my mid-section that could pretty easily tare. Doctor's orders: No exercising for at least one month. I can't jog, speed walk, or dance - and definitely no weight lifting. This is scary for me because this year I've done a lot of exercise.…

Welcome 2014 Brides!
Hi ladies! This is the first group I've started, so please help me make it something helpful and useful. I'm getting married on the beach in Hawaii in Nov. 2014. I am really excited and also really wanting to feel like I look my best on that day. I've been eating keto style this year -- and proud that I lost 25 lbs. But I…

Venting...
I've been doing keto since the beginning of this year (with some schedule breaks every month or so). I've mainly stuck to the same meal plan, but last week decided I need to get more adventurous with my snacks. So I went on my usual shopping trip to Whole Foods to get supplies for fat bombs (which turned out great!) and to…

Anyone had success with zero exercising?
I just underwent two minor surgeries. Very minor, but I have two sets of stitches in my mid-section that could pretty easily tare. Doctor's orders: No exercising for at least one month. I can't jog, speed walk, or dance - and definitely no weight lifting. This is scary for me because this year I've done a lot of exercise.…

Suggestions for getting back to keto?
I just got back from a super indulgent vacation at an all-inclusive in the Dominican Republic. I had a really fantastic time -- but now the scale is up 9 pounds! I know this is mostly water weight because my clothes still fit, but I am also noticing some extra here and there, so it's not just water. I'm going to ease back…

Preparing (mentally!) for the beach
So in about a week I'll be on the beach with a big group of friends. This trip has been my motivation all year. I weighed 175 on Jan. 1, 2013, and said to myself, "You know you're going to be on that beach in 6 months. You want to look and feel fabulous so do what you need to do to make it happen!" Might sound…

Almond butter?
Hey keto friends -- Would just like your opinion: I love these Justin's Honey Almond Butter packs. They are really tasty and good amount of fat. Ingredients: Dry Roasted Almonds, Honey Powder (Sugar, Honey), Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Sea Salt. Nutritional data per packet: 190 calories, 17 g fat, and 8 g carbs. Looking at the…

Do you measure your sugar intake?
Hi keto friends, I have been closely watching my carb, fat, and protein intake -- but I'm wondering if I ought to also measure sugar grams? It's not something I've been paying much attention to, but I'm wanting to incorporate some almond and peanut butter here and there, and it has 3 grams of sugar. Also, on occasion, I…

Increase or decrease fat to overcome a plateau?
I have been doing ketosis for a while. I lost 15 pounds in the first month (went from 175 to about 160) but I've basically been stuck ever since. I've been doing low carb (20-50 g a day) and usually high protein (80-100) and moderate fat (60-80). But after doing some research on MFP and online, I am now thinking I should…

How much cheese?
Just curious about keto-er thoughts on cheese. Can you have too much of it? I have some really good days and some not-so-good days on the scale. I'm trying to figure out why some nights I lose 2-3 pounds while I sleep and others only 1 pound. I'm wondering if I am having too much cheese on some days. So do you all try to…

Keto + Wine
Keto friends -- I have been doing keto since the beginning of the year (though I took a 3-week break in February). My nutritionist told me no wine -- she said it wouldn't necessarily kick me out of ketosis, but it would stall me and slow my progress. It has been so hard! Going out to dinner with friends and not having a…

Treadmill Recommendations Wanted
I want to buy a treadmill but it's so hard to know what to invest in based on reviews. Would love some recommendations for under $1,000 if anyone has a running treadmill that they've been happy with.

Is Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 + jogging enough?
I'm just wondering if people think doing Jillian Michael's Ripped in 30 plus some jogging is enough to lose weight. In the past, I've done P90 but it is such a time commitment; I can never keep up with it and then I get burned out and don't exercise at all. I'm hoping that doing Ripped most mornings and then jogging a few…
