so after about six to eight weeks or not working out and just kinda sitting at my "goal ish" weight - i think i've decided to lose 10 more lbs then start weight lifting pretty hard. i need to tone big time. any advice from lifters on what they are eating now? (i've been full keto for months so carbs scare me lol) how to weight train? how not to weight train? help!

Woop!. Starting at 229 today. According to hospital scale. Why are the robes for like six hundred pound people?. Even the socks are huge!

Dump him. Someone that is trying to Cut You Down and refusing support wants to keep you down and he wants to keep you down for a reason. You should run as far away as you can Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

TODAY IS MY SURGIVERSARY!!! 97lbs lost!well wow what can I say? It's been quite a journey! The one thing I think i was unprepared for was the emotional/mental piece. It's not natural to see yourself in a state (at a weight/size) you've never been and then know how to deal with people's new reaction to you. I've been smaller before but never this small and it's a whole new world! Sleevers... What was it like? Well from surgery to liquid diets to pretty much seven months of working out five days a week. Low carb low sugar high fat high Protein diet to now. It wasn't easy. You can't just have surgery and sit around expecting to lose weight. You gotta work!! I reached "goal" bout seven months out. But you'll find your goal quickly changes as you realize you can do more. So work your ass off and don't give up! What's next? Toning this old body lol. Still work to be done. Starting weight 232 Goal 180, 160, 145 Current weight 135 Sizes 20 to 5 Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I've decided I'm never going to miss a "Transformation Tuesday" again. it keeps me focused on what i'm doing, what i'm trying to accomplish and reminds me where i came from. im still a work in progress but everyday i get closer.

It's crazy because after a while once you hit "goal" you kind of run out of pictures to put up on Transformation Tuesday and yet here is another one. On the left that was one of my "skinny" outfits. Can't tell u How tight that corset was. I couldn't even sit down. i don't know if you ever really hit "goal" there always seems to be more work to do. 232 to 135lbs. (took 7 months basically)

@@Sherbear2 well i think everyone is different. make sure you're doctor says it's ok for you to work out. i went into full cardio mode and just ran and ran and ran for six months straight 3 to 5 days a week, did a little strength training but perhaps not enough. my diet was keto diet. (no carbs, no sugar, high fat) but i know some ppl do weights extra. i am saggy now so maybe some weights would have been good. im sure others have other ideas. you could just start with walking, walking your dog, or yoga or zumba or whatever u like long as u get active. i think my weight came off "fast" cuz i worked out often and hard. i was impatient to lose it. lol. good luck to you!!

Just messaged you Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

This was snickerdoodle quest protein snack (to die for) with halo too ice cream and sugar free chocolate syrup. Amazingggggg. Like 11net carbs.

Hi. Keto is low carb. Low sugar high fat diet. So when I stalled I increased my fats. Started cooking my eggs in butter or bacon fat. Eating fattier meats. Avocado. cheese Etc. Worked like a charm. I don't know if ur eating carbs or sugar etc but this is what's worked for me. Now I'm at 137lbs so if I want to have rice here or there or potatoes I'll have it but it's pretty rare and normally makes me hungrier and less satisfied or sick so I don't do it much.

i just went to the mr. olympia convention and tried Quest for the first time. they have a new waffle flavored one that legit tastes like a waffle with maple syrup. altho sweet for me the taste is amaze. they also have a new snickerdoodle Protein cookie that's killer. they also now have protein chips, goldfish crackers and pasta! the chips and goldfish are amaze. have tried the Pasta yet but i'm excited. their ingredients are far superior to others so i'll keep trying their stuff. it really fits my keto lifestyle.

@@TexasFred @@nmf0318 thank you! it's a work in progress

still kinda hovering between 140-138. still unwilling to go to the gym and have even been eating some carbs lately. but i've been extremely sick not that that's an excuse but i weigh myself everyday to try to stay on track tho really i need to stop being such a scale whore and get to lifting weights. #stillsomestruggles

@@Steph~L~16 i don't track calories. never have. i eat keto. no carb no sugar high fat. for me increasing my fat is what got me out of my big stall. its usually about eating more rather than less or more often. everyone is different but that's what worked for me. good luck!

i know everyone is different but i'll be a year out in October and i drink and eat whenever i want (yes, even at the same time with meals). ive had carbonation, ive had alcohol, ive had carbs. now as a general rule i don't do the carbs, carbonation nor sugar, i keep it pretty keto, but i CAN if i want without issue. if you aren't very far out definitely listen to your nutritionist just letting you know things get easier and your tolerance gets higher for certain things. just be patient.

@Rose1up! you look great!!!! how are you feeling? @@Aviobell you got this! @@lizardqueen absoutely. we've all been thru it. i'll be a year out in October and it's been a total life changer. i worry more about keeping weight on than gaining it but that's jsut me. im not a great slow eater. and i don't do the carbs hardly ever. some people can. you got this! we are all here for you.

@@Christy5913 do it! we never see ourselves the way others do and we are our own worst critics. my bff talked me into those pix and i was like F it. imma do it. whats the worst thing that can happen right? enjoy your new self!

so my BMI is in the normal range for the first time in my life. so wow for that. i honestly never thought i would be in the 130's ever. not ever. not even trying to lose at this point actually. i was trying to stay around 145 but i don't mind 138. and hey maybe i won't mind 135 either. who knows. here's some pix i took for my car club

whoa whoa whoa. i have been reading about carbs and muscle building and stuff cuz im quite flabby after losing my first 80lbs and i want to tone but i haven't been eating carbs. anyways i just looked up that you CAN build muscle on a keto diet but when i went to a sample menu it showed WAY more fat than i've been eating! is anyone else doing this type of diet? are you building muscle? who knows about this?? help! lol
