I was 175.6 a couple days ago and so this morning I was disappointed to see 177.1 on the scale. But then I came here and noticed that's actually a pretty good loss from last week. So I'm happy now

Weight loss this week 2.1
Starting my 5th week on the diet which in itself is the big winner. I never last this long. Also not going to weigh everyday because the scale was going up and down like a yo yo and so was I from elation to despair. I'm loving the food & I'm feeling better & I'll take that any day.4 -

50 pound loss since starting LC 10 months ago
Height - 5'7"
I'm thinking I may be at my goal weight...ultimately I wanted to get down to 150 but I haven't lost any weight since April. Well, I take that back, I got down to 179.8 on May 4 but I've been bouncing around the 185 mark all along. My logging is non-existent and I know I don't follow low carb as closely as I had been at the beginning. I'm fine maintaining through the summer I think. I do exercise most days. I feel pretty good in my size 10 pants and medium shirts. I do have quite a bit of loose skin but that's from weighing almost 300 pounds before I underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2008. That will never go away without surgery. I was able to get down to 160 after surgery but that weight slowly crept back because...well...life. I'm ashamed I let myself get back up to 234. I didn't want to be one of "them people" that has surgery and then gains all the weight back.
Today's weight - 180.6
53.4 pound loss since starting LC August 2015
Height 5'7"
I haven't been sneaking carbs as much this last week and I've been more consistently exercising. I've been taking my 120# Neapolitan Mastiff for a 2+ mile walk in the morning instead of getting on the treadmill and she LOVES it. And even though it's a pain when she has to keep stopping to sniff and poop, it nice to be outside and I can pick a different route so I have a change of scenery. Shark week is due next week AND I'm going to be at a motorcycle rally over the 4th of July weekend. I plan to stick to low-carb as much as possible, but with only food vendors to choose from, I have already decided I will indulge, but not to the extent I have in the past. I will choose low-carb foods as often as possible, but I'm also not planning to deny myself some yummies. Oh, and much alcohol will be consumed! My drink of choice this year will be "summer hummer" which is lime vodka and orange juice but I will be taking the orange sunrise flavored packets of generic crystal light to mix with water instead of high sugar orange juice. Oh, and probably Bud Select 55 since that is pretty low carb. I will weigh in next week before it's off on the bike, but most likely will NOT weigh in on July 6!
Have a great day everyone!

Shark week this week. I woke up Monday morning gat 185.2 so I'm happy for the 180.8 reading this morning.
Today's weight - 180.8 (stayed the same)
53.2 pound loss since starting LC August 2015
Height 5'7
I'm more than happy with this weight considering all of the adult beverages that I consumed this weekend. I honestly had no intention of staying low-carb. My eating was ok....it was all the damn alcohol I drank but I don't regret it. I've been eating decent since Monday and I'm extremely happy I wasn't actually about 185 when I weighed in yesterday morning. I was expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised. My goal for the summer is till to maintain in the low-mid 180's. I'll start trying to actually lose again this fall when all of my fun summer plans are done.
Today's weight - 184.0
Looks like it's been a while since I did a weigh-in...mostly because I've been a real slacker this summer. But like I said before, if I can maintain through the summer in the mid-180's I'm calling that a victory. I was at an outdoor country music festival last week and when I left on Thursday I weighed 183. After a weekend of eating way off plan and drinking way too much beer, I was 187.6 on Monday. Totally expected. Also, it ended up being shark week. The 184 number on the scale this morning is a welcome site after seeing Monday's number. I also broke up with my long-term boyfriend at the end of June so that has added some extra stress in my life. He's living with me and has not found a new place to live yet. I'm getting very anxious for him to move so I can move on with living my life!
Height 5'7"
Goal weight - not sure yet but I'd like to be a normal BMI. I think that's like 165 at the high end.
Have a great day everyone. Low carb rocks!!! Now...if I can just get rid of these carb cravings I've been having, I'll be good to go!
Today's weight - 183.4 so a .6 loss since I last checked in.
I'm still bouncing around in the mid-180's and I'm still ok with that. I continue to walk 2.25 miles every morning and I think that's really the key to helping me maintain this loss during the summer when I'm definitely consuming a lot of beer!
Ex-bf still hasn't moved out and I gave him a drop-dead date of September 30 to be out. I can't take this anymore. I need my house back and I need to get on with my life!!

I got tickled yesterday. I went to endo. She remarked on how I have lost 18# since last visit. I told her I was doing LC. She said great. Losing weight is so important. When I was checking out, they always give me a "visit summary" sheet that includes vitals, medicine instructions/changes, etc. For the past 5 years, I've also gotten the "how to lose weight" pamphlet that calls for a low-carb whole grain diet. They had stapled it to my check out sheet again yesterday. AAAAAaaaaaaa! Have we not established that it does not work for me!!!!! Very likely it was the nurse that put it on there not my endo but still!!!! Sheesh!!!

Began this woe at 231, and am now 168! Goal is 165!! Before this woe, in 2010, I was 318,, and had weight loss surgery, but didn't get a handle on my food intake! My lowest weight after the surgery was 208. I know I wouldn't be here without LCHF!
@Karlottap - I had RNY surgery in 1999. My lowest weight following surgery was 190... my highest adult weight being 326 on the morning of surgery. Low carb has changed my life... I am certainly not perfect in the WOE/WOL... but it is working for me.

Started 2nd week of Feb
SW - 242
CW - 209.6
GW (initial) - 170 (13% BF)
GW (2nd) - 185
I actually weigh daily. It helps me keep accountable to myself. The second goal is my planned keto "bulk", after I kill the fat, that involves a lot of pick things up and put them down. I know my lean mass (148 lbs) due to regular bod pod readings, so BF% is more my true goal than an actual weight.
6/15 - 208.6 lbs - 28.6% BF
6/22 - 208.0 lbs - 28.3%
6/29 - 205.9 lbs - 27.6% BF
7/6 - 204.2 - 27% BF (149 lbs lean mass)
I actually say 203.2 earlier this week, but I think I am holding a bit of stress weight from a couple of awful days at the office.
7/13 - 200.8 - 25.7% BF (149 lbs lean mass)
GW: 170ish - ~10% BF
Still cruising along with the fat loss. Its about time for another BodPod measurement to get updated numbers and make sure my lean number is still accurate.
7/20 - 198.2 (onederland!!) - 25.8% be (147 lbs of lean mass per body pod yesterday)
7/27 - 199.8 - 26.4% BF - Bit of a rebound, had a couple carby meals this week, with one last night, so there may be some water retention.
8/3 - 197.6 - 25.6% BF (147lbs lean) - Back on the loss train, although, I do keep bouncing around the 197 mark, maybe it's another one of my body's "set points". I had one at 210 until I finally broke through after a month.
8/10 - 196.8 - 25.3% BF (147 lbs lean) - Not bad, hopefully I keep trending down. This is the lowest I have seen on the scale since starting the weight loss plan
8/18 - 198.0 - 25.8% BF (147 Lean) - Back up this week - I need to curb the drinking, I think that is whats been holding me back. Its keto approved booze, but Ive been doing 4-5 nights a week due to dating and social activities....or I could take up running to make up the difference.2 -

Made some bad meal choices, gained a little, but got back on the wagon since I can cook again. Down 3lbs from my highest weight this month but still have a ways to go to get out of the 250s. Lots of walking every day this week and last week helped.2 -

6/22- 155.1
6/29- 152.3
Still dropping faster than I'd like, even after pushing the kcals up to 1700 per day, and having a couple of notably higher days during food prep.
6/29 - 152.3
7/6 - 151.2
Going to let it ride for one more week and adjust to slow down as needed.
7/6 - 151.2
7/13 - 151.9
About what I was hoping to see this week, though well within a margin of error either way. Going to see how the trend runs over the next two months, making slight adjustments every couple of weeks.
7/13 - 151.9
7/20 - 151.5
Getting pretty static, and I'm seeing about what I would expect. Going to hold this caloric level (1700) for another couple of weeks and see how it runs.
7/20 - 151.5
7/27 - 151.2
Still running well within the expected range, and seeing extremely low variance during daily weigh-ins.
7/27 - 151.2
8/3 - 150.1
Welp, time to average and adjust upward.
8/3 - 150.1
8/10 - 154.0
Going from completely sedentary to lifting six times per week, and being more active outside of that than I have ever been, is definitely having a clear impact on weight fluctuation. Feels good though. Looking forward to seeing how the upward trend actually runs, now that I am running a surplus.
8/10 - 154.0
8/17 - 155.4
Seen all manner of weight fluctuation over this past week, from a high of 158.4 (yesterday), to a low of 152.9. It doesn't surprise me, given the change from doing nothing, to lifting (or some form of resistance training) every day for the last week and a half or so. Already starting to notice a lot of musculature being brought back to life, from it's previously unused state. Going to run for another couple of weeks before I bother photo updating my bulk thread though.
8/17 - 155.4
8/24 - 158.5
Continuing with the pretty rapid fluctuations and swings, though I am seeing a defined upward trend. Going for a couple of more weeks before tinkering with anything. Lifts are up, measurements are acceptable, and calipers haven't changed much. I'll take it, for now.1 -
Well I'm not weighing in because I'm probably heavier than usual. I just started weight lifting and I'm sore, so there will be water weight from that, and also water weight from hormones.0

I know them feels, but honestly, unless it's going to mess with your head, do it anyway. It's a pretty cool data point to have later for when the water retention and inflammation start shedding.2 -
