    Thank you to everyone and an update from the mess!
    Now staying in a hotel courtesy of the insurance people, for 10 days initially. Thursday electricians and gas engineer are arriving to do checks to see what needs done before any power can go on.
    Tomorrow the people who clean up these messes arrive to do an assessment of what is needed. Good luck to them I say as we got filthy just going into the house to collect a few essential (yes my scales were indeed an essential and thanks River_Goddess I will treat them with some caution!)
    Oddly it is almost exactly 7 years since we came home from living in China and we were camping in one room while the whole house was refurbished including my until yesterday lovely kitchen, hopefully this isn't some kind of weird seven year itch!
    Now looking for a sample of restaurants where I can eat to suit Keto and maybe more importantly drink to suit me!

    Thank you all so much for your wishes I knew when I wrote what had happened I would be speaking to people who would be great and you have been. I will keep you posted and trying to keto as well! <3<3<3

    Woah, I just realized that today's loss puts me over half way to goal! I started with 130 lbs to lose, and am over halfway there (in under six months!!) Keto is amazing.

    Well done to you!! So many people doing really well, so inspirational o:)

    December!!! I was just thinking how cool it would be to go into the new year not having a huge weighloss goal for a resolution. I do not expect a big loss this week. I would be Happy making it to 153-155 by Christmas. Then hopefully only about 10 lbs to lose after the new year!

    Welcome! And kudos to your doctor! Most would never encourage their patients to do keto. He's up to the times! I wish more were like that! To be in the 80's you only have 6 more pounds to go! Totally doable before the end of the year! Plus some! Good luck!

    Hi everyone.. need some advice :)
    Ive been on keto for one month. Lost about 16lbs.. on Saturday I decided to have a cheat day and go out and eat pizza and had two glasses of wine. I came home and measured my ketones (blood monitor) obviously I was out...went to bed and woke up and rechecked again as I was very curious how it will play out and how long it will take to get back into ketosis. To my surprise I was back into it... my blood ketones measured at 1.8 and I was shocked.. all day I was checking and it kept showing bigger numbers. However since that day each day I weigh my self I gain one lb. This morning I was up 4lbs... I am definitely not over eating..I am doing 1200 calories plus I am working out at the gym everyday. Basically doing the same thing just as before the carb up day but really not sure what is happening. Anyone ever experience this.... thanks!!
