Another good loss, but I'm leery about this one. Had a few glasses of wine last night, and for some reason I always seem to have a low number the morning after drinks. Then it goes right back up again the following day. That might have something to do with the munchies that come the day after alcohol. I didn't do too bad today, though I did get a snack attack tonight. Had some cheese and pepperoni and that did the trick.0 -

You're lower after drinking because alcohol dehydrates you, quite a lot.

So I'm now two weeks in! Weighed this morning and I've lost a total of 7.8lbs on keto
What I'm most surprised by is how much better I'm feeling day to day - no constant stomach aches, less trouble sleeping. Hopefully this lasts!

@CrabCatcher I love fat bombs! I think I'll make a cheesecake tonight.
Week 1 start: 240
Week 2 start: 235
Week 3 start: 234
My cycle would not let me be great this week.4 -
I've been consistent, and no loss this pass week! But I remain feeling great and my lifts are still going up so I'll take it for now I guess! lol
Have a great week you wonderfully amazing people!!!4 -
No loss this week. Ready for some movement on the scale. Last time I did keto I definitely had the woosh weight loss that went on for some time. So, this is different. Probably because the way I was eating the past 6 months was very high carb...so, more adjusting? I'm still sore but it's starting to dissipate. It's strange how I look less puffy and slightly slimmer but the scale remains the same. It's so worth it having clear skin and not being hungry all the time. Never should have stopped.1

i am in, i wish there was actually a Keto Wagon that could come to my house and pick me up and cook all my meals for me... ;-) but since there isn't, i goes i will save myself.. i have a pretty big challenge coming up in Feb where I will be living in a desert for 29 days with access only to MREs which are carb loaded.. it is possible to stay keto during this experience but certainly a challenge... time to put some keto sticks to my rucksack...

Well I am on a steady gain...I've been keeping carbs under 100g, but continue to battle cravings for something. The mysterious something that I can never find, but will eat everything in the house trying to satisfy. I've been hesitant to try keto, but it's time.1

I've been in Ketosis for 16 days now, this is my third attempt. The first two times I couldn't get pass the Keto Flu stage, I would always give up. I got through it this time because I was better prepared with the right supplements and no distractions. The keto flu is no joke and I would advise anyone who is just starting to be prepared for this phase. You will experience the car slamming on the breaks and going into reverse on day 4-7. Don't have any plans to leave your bed. I'm back in drive...So, here I go!3

I learned this afternoon that my Mom has been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. My younger sister had been diagnosed last February and my younger brother in December. Can I tell you all how grateful I am that I started watching my calories in 2015 and restarted Keto in July of last year? My A1C in September was a nice, normal 5.4. It may be up a bit now because I had a couple of months of being lazy but I'm working on getting back on track. Thank you all for your support and encouragement. We're all in this together.4

The "keto flu" is highly avoidable if you pay attention to your electrolytes. Check out the sticky posts at the top of the board for some great info.2 -

Agreed. It's nothing more than low sodium. 100% avoidable.1 -
Well, I'm still here even though the weight continues to creep up. I haven't had an appetite lately due to the meds I'm on for this *kitten* back injury. Basically confined to the recliner for the time being so not many calories being burned either. It's amazing I'm not ravenous being on steroids. I've changed my macros a little bit since reading Amy Berger, recently. Decreasing the fat a bit and trying to go easy on the dairy and nuts. I sure do understand the frustration of thinking you're doing it right and the scale just doesn't agree with you. Hang in there, pals. I know I can use all the support I can get.

My keto stix currently claim I am doing it right. Now just waiting for the scale to start inching downwards.2

That's great!1 -
Woo just seen this. i started back on the Keto trail on monday, and already feel the benefits again, my keto stix are telling me im passing ketones and ive seen 2 lbs off this week so far with macros on point.
i have a question though. tonights dinner i will be adding half an advocado for the fibre. it says its 9 carbs (7 of those fibre) will this be ok and keep me in keto?0 -
Avocado is fine, no worries!
I havent seen any loss this week myself, but I realize my crazy menocycle is likely the culprit so I'm just trying to keep calm and keto on. Stay the course, guys! We've got this!2 -

I've been focusing on my net carbs (carbs - fiber) and so far it has not affected my ketosis. I test with the strips.0 -
I'm on board! had success with Lazy Keto in 2016 and got down to rough goal weight and then decided to forget all that I knew.
*2008 RNY-er with 130lbs lost- but a regain of 30 lbs. (which may not seem like a lot, but it's ALL in my midsection I swear!)
So back again I go, going to make a lifestyle change to keep it off this time!
Starting weight (1/15) 207
Current Weight (1/19) 201
Goal weight: 170/175

That means I am in good headspace and can/should be able to focus on hitting goal again. I was at/close to goal last feb when my thyroid went wacky and I gained and health suffered. So, my goal is IF 5 days/week, keto all the time, and one weekend day up to 50gm net carbs as opposed to 20/day.
Current weight:164lbs
Goal for end of Jan: 158lbs
End goal: 135-145lbs, I am not sure yet.
So, as of today I finally dropped some H2O!!
Current 161.8lbs.
Approx 4lbs to go for goal of the month!
Also, I am hoping(waiting on kids passports) to leave on a family vacay to Cuba on feb 9th, so I have a goal of not straying off food plan until then and hitting 155lbs.1 -
I'm going to take the 2 lb drop this week and trust that if I just keep doing what I'm doing it's all going to work out just fine!!
CW 158
Happy Friday!!1 -
Staying keto but no progress otherwise. Weight keeps creeping up. Something is bloating me. The only major change is recipes with psyllium husk in it. Kinda losing motivation.0

Hy'all, what have you been up to? Are you still on Keto? Have you become fat adapted? How much have you lost?
Lost 2 pounds this week. My loss has slowed down, guessing the water weight is out. Hoping to add exercise next week.

Down 3.4lbs this week, 17.1 total for the month! I've been sticking pretty close to my carb and calorie limits all this time, though there are days where I go a little bit over. Not sure if I'm fat adapted, but it's only been 3 weeks. I have days where I have more energy than usual and days where I'm more fatigued.
Great job @nicee247!

Weight on 1/1: 179.2 lbs
Today, 1/22: 170.0 lbs
Still trying to keep it under 40g of carbs. Although, I might have had too many veggie pakoras at the Indian buffet on Friday. Does anyone know if those things are held together with carbs? I must have had 10 of 'em.

Getting well seated on my carnivore wagon has been good for me. Belly has had not one day of discomfort or bloating and though I do want to lose more bodyfat and I figure some of that will eventually show up as scale weight loss, I try not to focus on that. But, I have had movement on the scale this month.
From 141.5 to 139.9. I can't say I'm not happy to see that!3 -

Expected weight by end of January 89.9kg (I'm the worlds slowest loser).
We'll see if I'm right
So, weighed in yesterday at 88kg. Seems I've reached my goal for January a week early. Hopefully it stays off and isn't "fake weight loss". I'll post a final weight on the 31st.

You are all doing awesome! I am sticking with it. Still down just 3 or 4lbs. But I may come close to hitting goal yet!!5
