I'll take it! I'm one of those crazy people who like to weigh every other day. On Thursday, I weighed 207. I ate pizza on Friday. Mainly just the toppings, but I know I had some crust too. It was so good! My bg shot up to 140 mg/dl Saturday morning and I weighed 208. I learned my lesson! At least it's going back down. And my bg was 111 mg/dl this morning. So its all good!
Well done! I'm worse about weighing, I do night AND morning, every day!! That Onederland is getting closer! I'm about to post my weight now mmmmmm!!
Sooooooooo, as far as scale crazy goes...there are 3 of them in my house...One upstairs in the bathroom (never use), and in my craft/workout room there's the one I allow other members of the family to use that me and Mr. Nikki use to compare, and the super secret hidden one I keep in a drawer. That's the one I use everyday because it syncs with MFP & FitBit and does body analysis.1 -

I was at a social gathering last night. I managed to keep everything I ate within my limits, was able to indulge in chocolate covered strawberries, and they were amazing!! This weekend has been a bit emotional for me, and I did't sleep well this week at all. Goal this week: 7.5hrs of sleep a night!1 -

I've been traveling but didn't take the scale. I should have because it inspires me to some degree. At least there was some loss. It's time to really get my act together! Don't I say that every week? Doh.

China - you did very well for 2 weeks of touring around. It is very difficult to stay off the carbs without your kitchen. Also, always so many wonderful goodies in new and different places. Brava!0

Thanks! I Was surprised, the scale was not reflecting much yesterday.
My goal of getting below 250 is so close I can taste it! (Thank goodness it's low carb
)... I'm actually considering getting off my butt this week and moving more, to help things along. I already asked my partner to go for a walk today, and am mulling over the concept of finally getting a gym pass.
Keto is so interesting, my body weighs 252 but I'm wearing clothes and sizes from when I was last 200-210ish. My body feels smaller than 252. I never did take measurements, I wish I had!2 -
I don't measure either but maybe we all should, I also don't take 'selfies' and admire those brave enough to do so! Maybe I'll measure tomorrow........

I have a before pic, actually it was what finally inspired me to lose weight. I felt like I looked good that day, and then when I saw the pic, I was completely crushed. Like super surprised at my weight.
I'm waiting for my 6 month keto-versary to take a comparison photo. So that'll be comin y'alls way, December 17th (I could do 5 month, Nov 17th... we'll see 
) 2 -
@River_Goddess that's exactly what prompted me to make a change. I saw a picture of myself with a volunteer group. What was an otherwise amazing day was ruined by seeing myself looking like the blueberry kid from Charlie & the chocolate factory.0

Oh man, it really sucks, hey?? Reality check!!

It's still a loss though and in my book, no gain is viewed as a loss!! 0 -

I don't think I will have much of a loss this week, but I'm okay with that. I usually peek on Saturday and whatever the scale says is a good indication of the direction things are headed. So far I'm only down .2 this week, so I don't expect any big movement on the scale between now and official weigh in. I'm not concerned, I've had a good run these past few weeks
BUT, I feel really good in my body, and my clothes are fitting nice... and my sense of overall well being is up so... I'll take it
I am not going to have much of a loss this week either. Maybe a pound or two. I was a little discouraged at first. But I feel really good. All my clothes feel good. I can get ready to go out and about for my day without dreading finding clothes to squeeze into. It feels good and that's all that really matters. I still have note cheated so as long as I keep going the weight will come off. AND I finally did it... skipped my weekend drinks. It's feels better than it would have had I drank!
@HaideeJo13 - Please please please remember that "maybe a pound or two" is considered the gold standard of success. For you to call it "not much of a loss" worries me quite a bit. Anywhere between half a pound to 2 pounds is considered to be consistent and excellent weight loss. Unless you're specifically medically monitored, losing more than 2 pounds per week is considered medically risky. Please make sure your expectations are realistic.
And kudos on skipping the drinks!!!0 -

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! this is the first weekend I skipped drinking and it's the first entire week that i didn't even lose a pound I am trying not to be too crazy discouraged because i am down almost 20 lbs in 4 weeks but still.. an entire week and no loss... frustrating!!! Fingers crossed I get a couple pound weight loss this week. On the bright side my clothes fit amazing, so there has to be at least some inches lost in this last week. 2

Yes I know. I am aware that I am not always going to have a huge weight loss every week. That is why I am trying my best not to be really discouraged and down. I know the weight loss takes time. I am still happy with the weight I have lost. It just sucks when you go from some really good weight loss in the first few weeks to nothing, but I know it's jist part of the process.0 -
I've got a 3-day craft fair coming up soon (I make and sell beeswax candles) and I can already feel myself thinking about the local chocolate lady's salted caramels. They are SO good! It's my yearly tradition to buy a $20 box of salted caramel and munch it throughout the weekend! I literally look forward to it, as it is one of the main perks of going to the fair.
I can bring my own chocolate and will keep my will power, but geez. It's 10 days away and I'm dreaming of the stuff. I've been keto 5 months with no cheats, almost nothing tempts me. But this... is gonna be a challenge 0 -
I would think that a single piece a day, right before or after the most strenuous part of the day, would be doable... Maybe freeze the rest to reduce temptation?1

Go for counting a piece into your daily carbs etc, you quite often have a keto dark chocolate I know from your posts so you obviously manage to stick to a small amount, so I think if you just don't have the chocolate it's not a cheat, it's just incorporating this into your planned daily routine instead of chocolate! You can remain like!! 2
