I need help with motivation
Need some help!! For the past 2-3 mo. I've been eating like crap. I signed back up for Diet Doctor (a keto app), but with hot, muggy weather and the same ol' workout routines I lack motivation for exercise. I did, however, set my mind to cut out the alcohol today - not giving it up, but drinking it more moderately than…

Support please
Periodically I reevaluate how supportive my friends really are on here. When I bother to post something on my feed (which isn’t often) do they offer “atta girl”s or a kick in the pants? Are they active themselves? Etc. The answer was no to all of those things and more. Mostly all I saw was their achievement in calories…

Losing weight, gaining body fat %??
So I'm simultaneously doing BeachbodyOnDemand (Shaun T Focus T25, for those also doing BOD) and G Plan for 3 weeks. G Plan says I'm fat/protein efficient after a short quiz. I've been eating what's on my menu and just having my one allowable cheat meal per week. I have a weekly check in day on Thursday's (which I requested…

Going onto week 4... I think
Overall, I’ve been doing fairly well on Keto. End of last week I found stuff in my freezer from before I started the diet so I’m eating it up this week (bagels, reduced fat Lays, etc). I would rather eat the stuff I have than throw it out. I’m still following my dietdoctor.com meal plan. I’m starting to incorporate new…

New to the group
Hi!! I started Keto about a week and a half ago. So far I really like the food that I found on dietdoctor.com. I'm not great about sticking to pre-made meal plans, but the one's on Diet Doctor are customizable too so I feel like I can do it. I only have a few friends here on MFP, I would love some more especially one's…

Looking for a streaming workout program
Hi, I've been doing Daily Burn for about two years now and have gotten tired of it, there isn't any new variety added. In other words, it's gotten stale. I'm thinking about beachbody and have read both good and bad reviews. I didn't know if there was another streaming program out there that someone could suggest?

FitFusion is no joke
I got tired of Daily Burn this week because I finished a program and, through experience, knew that other programs weren’t for me so I switched to FitFusion. I did 30 Day Shred yesterday knowing Jillian’s style and, for variety, did Xtreme Burn Diesel with Mike Donavinik this morning. I thought I was in shape enough for 60…

Late night thought
I feel like I’ve tried every diet in the book recently (kind of an exaggeration) and nothing works because I can’t sustain it. I recently tried Keto, but I didn’t know how if I could keep it up long term and decided I just needed structure to my eating to keep me from overeating. I like SparkPeople because they have meal…

6 month anniversary with Daily Burn
Ever since joining Daily Burn in February I exercise about 5 times per week +/-. I log my food everyday no matter how sucky I ate, and I stick with what Fitbit tells me as far as if I ate under or over. Usually it's over, but I'm mindfully trying to change that and eat in the green zone (or just-right zone). I don't really…

Might need help in these coming months
I found out Wednesday that I'm going to be laid off in October from my job. Everything that seemed frivolous came to a complete halt. For example, I cancelled my trip to France in March so i could get the money back. I considered cancelling DB. . . again, but I keep coming back and rejoining. Because of this I've decided…

I have a wonderful motivator this year - a beach destination next March
Hi, everyone. I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Casey. I fell off the diet/exercise wagon the beginning of the year from burn out last year, but I'm finally back to it. I jumped back on the wagon a few weeks ago with running and kickboxing as my main cardio activities and yoga as my strength building. I had no…

After burning myself out last year working out I took a brief hiatus the exercise/diet stuff and then went overboard.

I finally see what everyone else sees when I look in the mirror - someone healthy and fit
The first set of pictures the before picture was in February 2017 and the after was 6 months in. The second set of pictures, before same as first but the after was taken earlier today. I let myself go the beginning of this year due to burn out from last year, but these past three weeks I've been working hard. Running and…

Progress picture
The before picture I took in February 2017, at nearly 160 pounds. I let myself go at the beginning of this year and just stopped dieting and exercising, I think I was burned out. I’ve been working hard the past three weeks and I couldn’t believe how much it showed until I took my progress picture today. I am still hovering…

Going to a beach destination in March
Hi, everyone. I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Casey and I've been part of this group before so I know how motivating everyone is here. I fell off the diet/exercise wagon the beginning of the year from burn out last year, but I'm finally back to it. I jumped back on the wagon a few weeks ago with running and…

Going On Vacation In March
I've been saving up for a vacation to France since last June - sure I can use a credit card and go tomorrow but that's not as satisfying as saving the money. On Friday, I was able to book my trip to the exotic Nice. All excitement aside that I could finally afford a plane ticket and hotel B) I want be in the best shape…

Where I'm at since Feb. 2017
I've recently got back the motivation to exercise, I mainly run or kickboxing for cardio and yoga for strength. I, also, recently got back into watching my diet. It was on and off the first part of the year. But, some time ago I found Jillian Michaels "Ripped in 30" meal plan and love it. It keeps my protein intake up and…

Looking for running accountability buddy
For the past year I've struggled with running like nothin' before. I moved into an apartment that seems to be a dip in valley. Going out I'm going at a slight downhill every direction and coming back means the uphill from every direction. Not impossible, but discouraging. I'd like to get back into it, but I'm having a hard…

Daily Burn vs Fitstar vs something I hadn't thought of
I've gotten myself into a workout rut. I've been watching tv ads about Daily Burn, I have a Fitbit which has Fitstar, I've been reading various reviews which aren't helpful in deciding which might work better for me. All I'm trying to do is lose weight and be fit and toned. Any help deciding from MFP peeps would be greatly…

Help! Taste of Downtown is tomorrow
Tomorrow night it's girls night out at Taste of Downtown. Any ideas on an eating plan tomorrow? Not even sure how to log what I do eat since it's all local businesses. NSV - actually doing my eating outing mindfully so I don't gain 10 lbs in a single evening (I know I'm exaggerating the 10 lbs, but still . . . ).

Hello? Is anyone there?
I periodically slim down my friends here, get rid of the dead weight and keep the motivational ones. Lately it's seemed like I have no friends at all. My feed is filled with "so and so is now friends with ...." and all the other automatic feeds. I actually only have one friend here that "likes" my posts. Last time this…

Has anyone else has a cheat week?
I hope I'm not alone in this predicament: I didn't log yesterday (potluck), but when I logged both Tuesday and today I've been closer to 2,000 calories than my 1500ish. Has anyone else just had a cheat WEEK, not just a cheat day? I feel like I'm throwing all my hard exercise work away.

One month in (w/ pic)
I've been a serial starter with MFP for years. On February 20 of this year, I restarted my journey here. I have some supportive friends and also on the 20th I started Daily Burn. I know I shouldn't, but I weigh myself every day and in the one month I've been committed I hover between 4 pounds and 6 pounds lost. I'm…

Doing Daily Burn workouts in the evening when I get home from work. The average workout lasts about 30ish minutes. Today I did two back to back. A daily workout that lasted 40 minutes and then the workout that is part of the program I'm following. I told myself before the workout that if I felt like giving up that was just…

What's your motivation?
I find different things on Pinterest periodically. Here's my motivation for this week. I'd like to look toned like the one on the right.
