Funny
A funny thing happened today... I logged all of my food and actually hit all my macros most exactly... Funny how that works

New Month, New Start
I started keto last October and felt great... Made it through Thanksgiving, no problem... Got to Christmas and fell off the wagon and have been dragged by that damn thing since!

Supplement Advice
I started LCHF way of eating a couple of weeks ago and so far things have been going quite well. My husband and I also joined the gym, mainly focusing on cardio to start off. I am only walking 3.0-3.5 mph and my leg cramps are terrible! By the time I am done walking for 30 minutes, I am quite uncomfortable. I have read…

Newbie Questions
I started this woe on 10-23-17. In the first 16 days, I lost 16 pounds (I know, mostly water weight). I am limiting myself to 1200 calories per day, per my doctor. I have my macros at 96g fat, 66g protein, <20g fat, and am staying within those numbers consistently. I have not been weighing myself (No Weigh November!), and…

Bulletproof Coffee Help
Who drinks BPC? Does it keep you full for the day? Tips on making it delicious? I would like to try it, but don't want to drink a good portion of my calories (doctor has me on 1,200 per day limit) if it isn't going to keep me sated through the day until dinner. Thanks in advance for your stories, hints, tips, etc.! :smiley:

Why Am I Trying to Convince Myself I'm Hungry????
I started keto on 10-23-17 and am finding myself not at all hungry quite often, but most often in the morning... my question is not whether this is normal, but rather if others have felt like they "should" be eating even when they're not hungry just because that is what they have always done. Like I'm sitting at my desk,…

Feeling Great!
I am 46 years old, 5'0" and as of October 19th weighed 204. I have regular blood tests due to a cancer diagnosis last year. I had my latest blood tests on October 11th and received a letter from my doctor with words like "heart attack" and "stroke" due to my high sugar levels and cholesterol. On October 19th I had an…

CHANTIX USERS...
I just started taking Chantix on Tuesday morning. I would love to hear from anyone who has taken it or knows someone who has. Did it work? Any side effects? How did you feel? Anything you can tell me is appreciated. Thanks!

Ready for a Change
I have been on and off (but mostly off!) MFP for several years. Two years ago my mom was diagnosed with cancer, and her illness became our existence. Due to her unhealth lifestyle and issues resulting therefrom, her options for treatment were limited. I found myself resenting her for not taking steps to be healthier before…

Grapenuts Cereal
On a box of Grapenuts Cereal (original), the nutritional information includes the values for both 1/2 c. of cereal and for 1/2 c. of cereal and 1/2 c. skim milk. The values are side-by-side. However, for protein it gives one number - 6 g. Is that 6 g. value for the cereal alone or for the cereal and milk? It is either the…

Salad Dressing
Have you tried any of the Olde Cape Cod Salad Dressings? Two of my favorites are Wasabi Soy Ginger (2 Tablespoons has 40 calories, 0 fat, 230 mg sodium and 8 g sugar) and Toasted Sesame Ginger Soy (2 Tablespoons has 40 calories, 0 fat, 260 mg sodium and 8 g sugar). They are absolutely delicious. Using these dressings…

Looking for Friends
If you were to look me up and read all of my previous posts, you would find similar words to those I am about to type. I come and go on here. I get super motivated, start exercising and eating healthy and losing weight. Then, some sort of stress happens in my life and I internalize, stop logging in to MFP, stop exercising,…

Getting Started.... Help!
I have been on and off MFP and my weight yo-yos. From November to February I was "on" MFP and lost 20 pounds and it felt great. I went "off" MFP and very easily slid back into my old habits and have gained back 25 of the 20 pounds I lost. :cry: My current weight is about 190 lbs. I have never incorporated exercise into any…

Water is Water is Water...
I know that only water is water, but I have an extreme dislike for plain water so I am trying to find an acceptable alternative. I have gone from drinking only soda (and I mean ONLY soda, and regular soda at that) to drinking iced tea, water with the Lipton Green Tea mixins or water with the South Beach Tide Me Over mixin.…

Need to Talk
...so I worked about 12 hours today, went to school for 2 hours, spoke with my husband and daughter while on my way home and everything was fine. Less than 10 minutes later when I walked in the door it was WW3. My daughter is 18 and she and her father had a battle involving a cell phone (I still don't have a clear picture…

Lean Cuisine Debacles
I recently purchased a few Lean Cuisines to keep on hand for when my family insists on eating crap. For the first two that I made, I cooked them on the lowest amount of time listed on the package, and both times they were overcooked to the point of inedible. (I know, it is crazy it took two times, but I thought maybe the…

Good For Me!
Today is my daughter's 18th birthday, which we celebrated yesterday. As usual, the celebration involved our extended family going out to dinner and returning to my house for cake and ice cream. I enjoyed dinner (the Cajun Tilapia at Applebee's is delicious and nutritious) and I enjoyed the small piece of Cold Stone…

Biggest Loser Videos
I recently purchased a couple of the Biggest Loser Workout Videos. Any idea on the calories burned doing these workouts? I want to be sure to add my exercie calories, but I have no idea how to gauge the calories burned.

On the Right Track
This is my second week after rejoining MFP. I have totally cut out soda of any type, have been drinking more water, have been eating healthier and have logged all of my food. I weighed myself today and I have lost 7 pounds this week. I know this is probably mostly water weight, and I am in no way expecting this type of…

Still Getting The Hang of This...
Today is Day 2 for me and I feel great. I have had no soda (I thought the headaches was going to kill me!) and have been logging everything that I have eaten. I have eaten smaller portions more often throughout the day. I am finding that I have a lot of leftover calories and available fat at the end of the day, but I don't…

What to Eat????
I am just getting started and want to get started right. I have cleaned out all of the junk food, need to go grocery shopping and don't really know HOW to eat right. What are good things for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks? What are must haves to keep on hand? I work about 60 hours a week and go to school full time, so I…

Finding My Way Back
I signed up on myfitnesspal.com last spring. I thought it was a wonderful way to keep encouraged and stay on track. The first couple of weeks were great. I was watching what I was eating, exercising regularly, and losing weight. Then, I began to slide on keeping track of my food. I got busy and quit exercising. Now, it has…

Looking Forward to Getting Skinny
I am an overweight 36 year old mom/wife looking to find myself again. I started Curves and found this site while trying to determine the best way to keep track of what I am eating. So far, I am so impressed. Everyone seems so nice and helpful. I just started Curves and this site this week, and I am excited about the…
