Does MFP keep old entries or is there a time period where they are wiped from your account?
I was talking to a friend of mine about Keto and I had logged a ton of my food during my pregnancy when I had gestational diabetes. I wanted to use my meals as some examples but when I looked back all my food log entries from 2012 are gone. I have a general idea of what I ate but I forget things like the brand of bread I…

Tracking calories burned during workouts
I have both a fitbit flex 2 and a Samsung gear S2. If I do a workout (for example, a half hour of an exercise DVD or YouTube video) will either watch accurately track my calories burned? I'm assuming no for the fitbit flex 2 since it doesn't measure heart rate, but the Samsung watch does. Does anyone have any success with…

Fasting and feeling warm
So as the title says, I'm fasting today until dinner, but I'm curious if anyone else experiences this. Around mid-day my body feels very warm, like I've just ran a race and my face turns more red than usual. This doesn't happen on my non-fasting days (ie weekends). My normal day-to-day WOE is low carb/keto and the weather…

Am I doing something wrong here or am I just impatient?
I've been following Keto for about a year and have successfully lost 61lbs by diet alone but lately the past 2 weeks or so I've been bouncing around the same 1-3lbs every day. I've been trying intermittent fasting 20/4 since the end of Sept which helped me break out of the 250s but now it's stopped again. I DO expect a…

Upper back pain
I'm wondering if there's any exercises or stretches I can do for upper back pain, I have it constantly and it's about one of the only problems I haven't been able to get better or resolve. I work in an office so I am sitting a lot, then add on looking at my phone or laptop at home and it's a nightmare. I have a toddler so…

Blood work results - 1 year update
Hi everyone, I am very much a data person as some as you know, and want to share my one years progress update with everyone. I apologize for the formatting, I had it all nicely tabbed out in word and it doesn't look like that's reflecting in my post. All results are fasting results. From May until October 2015 I was not…

Incorporating toddlers in your daily activities or fitness routines
For all you parents out there what are some fun ways to have your kids join in on your workouts (or fitness activities)? My daughter is three so she's able to walk on her own but can't really play baseball or anything just yet. I have access to a gym but the swimming pool is closed for the year, and I can't drive so that…

Low carbers - Starbucks is now offering almond milk in the US!
I'm so excited, this has been something I've requested a few times :) 4 net carbs per cup. It's their own recipe so it can be frothed and steamed like the other milks. Major win for us low carbers on the go. http://www.self.com/trending/2016/09/nutritionists-review-starbucks-almondmilk/ Full description: "One cup of…

I ate an entire bag of chips and half a chocolate bar last night..
And I'm not even mad! If you haven't tried parsnip chips yet, definitely check them out! The ones I found were from whole foods but Trader Joes also sells their own versions as well. I have to find those. They have a pretty offensive odor when you first open the bag but trust me, push past it and have a couple. They are…

Costco is selling LCHF/Keto friendly protein bars
For anyone looking for a Quest bar alternative, the box of 20 cost around $19 for the entire box. I made a trip out to Costco just to buy a box and try them. They're pretty good, although not as tasty as Quest bars, and obviously less variety, but hey.. can't beat that price, lol.…

Protein bombs?
I see a lot of recipes for fat bombs, but fats are never an issue for me. I get enough with cooking with olive oil or eating almonds or dark chocolate. I always have trouble hitting my protein goals for the day though. Are there any low fat high protein snack choices? Only things I can think of are pork rinds, hard boiled…

What's been your newest recipe that you've tried out for LCHF/Keto?
On Sunday I really wanted pancakes so I whipped up some Keto friendly pancakes for the first time. They tasted like french toast crepes. Not bad! I made a bunch of small ones because I seen that they are much harder to flip then regular pancakes, so I made them about the size of my spatula. I ate 5 of them and froze the…

Samsung Gear S2 and S Health not tracking calories - frustrated
Just wondering if anyone on MFP uses these as well as MFP. I went for a walk today at lunch to get some exercise in and sometimes it will map my route fine, but today and yesterday it didn't. It tracked my heart beat but my miles walked is 0 and calories burned is 0. On my smart watch I did set location services to On. Now…

Running
I've been ramping up my walks lately going out more and more, but I'm interested in running too. Once I get to a lower weight I'd like to try it. My MIL tells me how bad it is on your joints, how it causes arthritis and I should never do it, but seeing as she's not a personal trainer or a doctor I'm not sure what to…
