New member
Good morning all! My name is Kimberly and I just joined, looking for support as I restart keto. Last year I lost 86 lbs doing keto and intermittent fasting. I started sliding after a trip to NYC in October and then fell off through the holidays, horribly! I have not been committed to restarting but after gaining back like…

Is this group active?
I just joined the group but it doesn't look too active. I was looking for others like me (obese) and doing keto.

I've made it 100 days!
Today marks my 100th day of recommitting to losing weight. This is the longest I have ever gone without falling off completely and resorting to my old habits. This time around, I made a few mental changes; the first being that this is NOT a diet. I took that word out of my vocabulary! I also decided NOT to deny myself the…

Need advice! Going on a 7 day cruise!!
I am leaving Dec 12th to Miami and boarding on a 7 day Caribbean Cruise on the 13th. I have lost 42 lbs in the past 110 days and while I know 7 days will not completely blow my progress, I would like some advice from others who have cruised. I am not a drinker so I am not worried about that. I plan to staying pretty busy,…

In a rut!
I haven't felt like working out lately. I just cannot seem to bring myself to go to the gym, even for my beloved water class. Since I got sick a few weeks ago, I just haven't found my gym mojo! I am still watching calories and I am maintaining 7000 plus steps a day through my job and I am still losing about 1-2 lbs a week.…

When did you start noticing results?
I am on day 95 and down 38 lbs as of today. Start weight was 345 and I am at 306.6 now. I have noticed small differences but overall, really do not feel like I have lost almost 40 lbs! When you start at such a large weight, does it take a LOT to start noticing a difference? I saw a patient today and she asked me if i had…

Where do you put your phone when working out??
I am 313 lbs, have large arms so I cannot use one of those fancy armbands. My work out pants do not have pockets so I need ideas for larger people on where to put my phone. I use mapmyfitness which has a built in coach but I hate to hold my phone as it gets in the way. I do not put it in my bra as I have heard the sweat…

Stupid question but maybe someone can help....
I joined the YMCA last week and my trainer for orientation showed me how to use the Matrix machines and said he would highly recommend me using those 3x a week. So on Monday, Wednesday and Friday I went and used the machines. I have logged it as circuit training as that is what he called it, but it seems more like strength…

Do you count calories?
I just bought the book and curious to know if you count calories or not? I know it gives general info but I am 325 lbs and average 1700 calories a day, sometimes less, sometimes more. I cannot imagine dropping to 1200/1500 PLUS exercise. I am thinking of 2000 on high carb days and 1500 on low carb days, plus my exercise.…

TDEE vs BMR (need help)
I am trying to figure all of this out. I read that I should never eat below my BMR and should eat below my TDEE to lose weight. At my weight and age and calculators I used online, my BMR is approximately 2186 and my TDEE is 2603. So based on what I read, does that mean I need to be eating a minimum of 2186 daily but not…

Needing Friends
This is my second time coming back, hopefully this time I can maintain my "mojo" until I get below 300 lbs at least, lol last time I made it to 317 and then the bottom fell out and I lost track. Anyway, this time I want to add friends for motivation and support. I am down 7 lbs this first week but im sure 90% of that is…

UP Negative Adjustment??
Does anyone have this setting on? I had it on for one week and on days I DID try to do a little exercising, I had a deficit??? My goal is 2000 calories. I am 42 and 330lbs and it would remove almost 500 calories a day leaving me about 1500 to eat for the day on days I had no extra added activity. It's just confusing and I…

Question on Ketosis?
I am just wondering. If you eat something you are not supposed to OR if you overdo it on the carbs and it knocks you out of ketosis; how long does it take before you KNOW you are out? If you pee on a ketostick, how soon after eating will it knock you out? I bought some low carb breads and bagels and have been trying them…

Thanksgiving??
So I have been on a ketogenic diet since beginning of October. I will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my husbands family as his elderly aunt (who we moved to Florida to take care of) is being moved to hospice and his family is very busy with all of that. So I will be cooking so they can enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner. My…

Do you ever.....
have days where you are just hungry??? I felt like no matter what I ate, I just could not feel satisfied today but of course there were days this week I was a few hundred calories below my daily allowance. Now I know we do not have to worry about the calories so much as eating low carb will naturally reduce hunger, but do…

New to group
My name is Kimberly and I have been looking for a group to join where I fit in. I am 334 lbs as of Oct 26th, having lost 11 lbs since I restarted my journey. I buckled down and bought a jawbone today to log my stats and cannot wait for it to ship. I am doing a LC/Keto lifestyle, it works for me. I am just looking for…

My hard core truth!! Over 300lbs....
I am not looking for sympathy, just support and motivation. I came back to MFP after a depressing 45 lb gain. Last year I managed to lose 43 lbs and was feeling wonderful. My starting weight was 325. In November 2012 my husband was transferred to Florida and I went through a depression of having to take a job for much less…
