1 Jan: 137.6lbs
Today: 133.6lbs
Lots of Christmas bloat (plus some fat gain) is gone. Goal is to get back down to my 128-132lb maintenance range. I got to 132lb in mid Dec, but you know, all the things happened at Christmas.3 -
Awesome job, folks!

I had my Dr. appointment on Monday, but my monthly water gain was still trending down. I'm down 2lbs in 2 days. Oh well. I'm anxious to see what my A1c is after 3 months on keto.2 -

SW: 168
CW: 156 (12 lbs!)
GW: Keeping this loose.....Want to get to my healthiest me....Started keto as an adjunct therapy for my epilepsy. Weight loss is just the added bonus!
Have you noted a decrease in seizures? Care to share or too soon to tell? Congrats on the weight loss!0 -
Thanks @kpk54. It's very hard to say with me and my particular brand of seizures (partial seizures) because they are very random.....I'm still on medication...My initial hope is to be able to at least reduce the medication I am currently taking and possibly even get off of it all together.
I decided to start keto about the same time they put me on a new medicine because the medicine I took just before that was horrific. This new medicine was also giving me stomach problems so they backed it down....I was just getting tired of all the medicines at that point.
Now I will say that because this medicine bothers my stomach I have been taking it with my first meal of the day and since I sometimes don't eat that until after I'm at work I have forgotten to take my morning dose of meds a few times...Whoops....And no seizures.
I'm currently 49 days seizure free and 122 days with only 1 seizure (which was during my medicine transition time so technically can be expected), so I am very hopeful.
Had a nasty car accident in 2010 due to onset of seizures and haven't been able to drive since. Ultimate goal would be to get rid of these seizures and get my independence back!3 -
@swezeytba, thank you for sharing. I have hope for you and I wish you the best.
I don't have Epilepsy but am trialing keto (9 months) for my neurological movement disorder (Cervical Dystonia aka Spasmodic Torticollis). I noted considerable improvement initially but nothing further in the last few months. Definitely not cured but better.
I like to bring forth these types of discussions. One never knows who might be reading and might be helped or given hope. There is a new person who recently mentioned seizures so is hopefully reading. Thank you again for sharing.

@kpk54 ...I agree....It's so nice just to stumble across someone going through something similar to you. I was actually recommended this diet by a virtual stranger whose wife was following the diet for an autoimmune disease and she has been greatly improved in her physical health by the ketogenic way of eating. I wouldn't say she is cured either, but when you are suffering any amount of improvement can be a tremendous lift.1

@Cyndi146 you may be ahead longer term to just maintain for a while. You are doing a lot correctly and it is becoming a lifestyle vs. shear Will Power I expect. Great job.1 -

I'm not too worried about this weeks gain. I know I went a little over my calories/carbs on a couple of days (not 2lbs worth though), I have also not drunk anything like enough water and my cycle is messing with the figures.

Every time I go on vacation and take a break from LCHF I set a new starting date and starting weight. I'm also going to set goal dates/weights every 2-3 months out. So going forward...
SD: 1/01/17
SW: 144 - this is fat and water gain from my 3 week gallivanting in central america
CD: 1/18/17
CW: 138.6 - this is just about where I was before my vacation (maybe one lb more)
GD: 3/26/17
GW: 132 (range 129.6-134.1) - I would love to lose 1 lb per week but I am fine with .5 lb so I average it out and take the weight that I would be at .75 lb per week and give myself a range to fall within.
I need to start adding in exercise
I'm actually having a really hard time setting a goal weight. I don't have a lot of weight to lose but I have a lot of body fat to lose. I need to start strength training to build my LBM. I'd actually be ok with my weight if my body composition was more lean. So in reality I don't know what weight to strive for. My range listed above is purely for reduce my body fat and weight but does not consider building muscle. My current BF is around 26%. I would like to get down to 22-24%. 2 -

GW- healthy- I would prefer no rolls and to loose my back jowls Lol.
Even though I weigh more than I did in August, I look and feel thinner now.
Victory! I have not had anyone ask me when I was due for several months. Yay!!

Not surprising, as I've upped my intake. I'm eating very close to maintenance. I keep wavering between wanting to lose 5lbs and staying here. It must mean I'm generally happy with where am at. I'll just park it here for awhile

I have so got to do measurements on Saturday...my belly is getting wrinkly like there is less fat there (it's not a good look, but I'll take it) and my clothes are fitting loose...and this morning in the mirror I swear I looked SLIM...but the scale is not really getting with the program, I'm still up 4.4 lbs from where I was before Christmas...I think my last set of measurements was mid-December so I'm past due for a checkpoint...maybe photos too, I think my last set of photos were around May...I did increase my weights this week, and that went well, no back issues or shoulder issues with the heavier weights (10 and 15 lbs - not a huge amount to lift).5 -

Well, since I've not posted this anywhere previously, I'll start here.
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.
8/24 - 158.5
8/31 - 158.1
Weight has started to stabilize a bit. I should be able to get a better grasp on things from here forward. Still going to mostly be watching the tape, calipers, and my emerging abdominals.
8/31 - 158.1
9/7 - 162.5
Weight has stabilized at this exact point for the last few days, after a pretty strong falloff following my last refeed. This is likely the set point where I can finally start judging how intake is affecting weight, while also watching composition via tape and calipers.
9/7- 162.5
9/14- 167.5
You never realize just how much water you put away, until a gallon only makes your shakes and PWOs for the day, and you still have a half-gallon of Coke Zero involved.
9/14 - 167.5
9/21 - 168.7
Had to make some adjustments, and temper the intake. Putting in way more fat than I am comfortable with, given the rate of muscular accumulation.
9/21 - 168.7
9/28 - 170.6
9/28 - 170.6
10/5 - 170.0
10/5 - 170.0
10/12 - 171.1
I'm honestly shocked that it's only that much higher, given that I pushed my refeed back by two days this week. Usually takes at least five days for all of the pickup from that to go away.
10/12 - 171.1
10/19 - 170.9
10/19 - 170.9
10/26 - 166.2
Well, that escalated quickly.
10/26 - 166.2
11/2 - 163.4
Dat dere RFL. Think I'll end the cut as soon as I break back into the 150s, and the waist hits 32. That's clearly going to happen before my planned six week run is up, at this rate (I'm only halfway through week three).
11/2 - 163.2
11/9 - 164.5
Still trending downward overall, though there was some obvious pullback after switching off RFL for a two week break. Following Lyle's macro recommendations of 100g c/208g p/46g fat for the duration of the break.
I do find it amusing though, that this still qualifies as low-carb, but I am feeling waaaaay over on them. Used to that keto still.
11/9 - 164.5
11/16 - 163.8
Not bad for a week at maintenance -10% followed up with a few days of standard maintenance. Going to ride this train until after Thanksgiving then get back on dat dere RFL before starting another bulk...a leaner one this time. *kitten* fulking; I hate getting squishy.
11/16 - 163.8
11/23 - 162.9
Back on dat RFL after a 600+g carb refeed this past weekend.
11/23 - 162.9
11/30 - 172.0
1000g carb refeed on Monday. Feels good at the moment, but I know I'll be back to sub-170 within a couple of days. Glycogen supercomps don't last long.
11/30 - 172.0
12/8 - 168.7
After ending up with a bout of deydration/sodium overdose/potassium deficiency induced water retention that saw me climb to 177, and look like Damon Wayans in The Great White Hype, it looks like I've finally got everything purged and starting to settle back in line.
12/8 - 168.7
12/14 - 168.6
Doing some maintenance seeking, then easing my way into a winter bulk. I've drastically increased my conditioning work for this bulk, so I'm hoping to end up in the 3500 kcal/day range to lean bulk. Nothing prevents seasonal affective disorder quite like lifting heavy *kitten*, hill sprints, and eating all the things.
12/14- 168.6
12/21- 169.1
Dead on in line with what I am aiming for. Since recalibrating my intake, I'm eating an average of 3100 kcal/day to gain 0.5-1 lbs./week. For those of you who may remember my keto bulk thread, I gained 2.5 lbs./week on a 2800/day average and got fat as *kitten*. Therefore, this current setup amuses me.
12/21- 169.1
12/28- 170.4
It took a 6000 kcal day on Christmas just to get my average gain up closer to where it should be.
12/28- 170.4
1/4- 169.3
Starting to get mildly annoyed at how slow this bulk is running. Up to 3450 per day, and only averaging 0.4 lbs. per week. Gotta step my game up, or I won't be anywhere near my goal at winter's end.
1/4- 169.3
1/11- 172.2
My moving average is still bleh, but things are creeping up slowly as I increase the kcals. Up to nearly 4000/day, and still only at 0.6 lbs./week gain.
1/11- 172.2
1/18- 175.5
Still waterlogged from an overfeed last Saturday. Will be interested to see what I need to do in order to avoid it in the future. I know what my problem is, but how to dance the thin line with water intake will be key.2 -

CW: 133
Goal range for maintenance: 130-133
My DietBet goal puts me at 132.5, though that's with clothes on :tongue so I'll have to hit more like 131.5. I really do want to get to 130-131 though instead of being right at the top of goal range w/no wiggle room. (3 lbs is maybe too narrow of a range, but I know 133 is my upper limit unless I actually gain muscle. Maybe I should say 128-133.)4 -

I am almost there... Which in itself is daunting because I am looking at maintenance. Maintenence plan is all set out, will just be odd to increase carbs (happy to increase calories though!)...
I am 5'10" and small build so am happy with where I am. I do need to check my body fat as I was 33% at my SW and want to see how much it has gone down!2 -
