I’m doing pretty much the same @elize7. My calories may be a bit too high for weight loss at the moment but cutting out sugar and carbs is more important at the moment.
It’s been awhile since I’ve lost anything but I’m stoked that I also haven’t gained. I’ll take it for now.3 -
I have "it". Not sure what "it" is but it's not the flu. No fever, just drainage and cough and no voice. My husband is rejoicing. lol
Eating too much and totally out of ketosis thanks to illness and eating what is handy since I don't want to cook. I can only handle so many nuts lol. Not going to really try to get back into it until after Christmas. Seems like it would be pointless knowing what is coming up. Dinner at my house on Christmas Day, we will have 23 here. 22 are family and one very brave guest. We have a lot of meat variety planned, a ham, turkey breast and duck. I was going to fix a goose but couldn't find one except for one that they wanted $240 for! Seriously $240 for a 12 pound goose!2 -

Maybe it was the fairy tale 'Golden' Goose!! Have a great Christmas and I hope you feel better before tomorrow.

Already determined today will be a blip on my keto map. This time planned, with a traditional family dessert...and, I plan to enjoy.
Back at it tomorrow.
I will be so relieved to see this holiday pass, it has not been one to remember...and, starting tomorrow, I hope to get a jump start on fitness plans for the new year.
If I succeed, that will be me pulling a rabbit out of a hat.
Have a wonderful day today, pals.3 -
Yesterday and today have been write offs keto wise. My family will be staying with my parents for the next 3 days so I’m cutting myself a break a bit. I’m still being careful about bread and processed foods but mashed potatoes and gravy with Christmas turkey dinner? I’m not sure I’ll be able to pass it up... dinner is in an hour... we’ll see how it goes.1

How did you do? Hopefully you enjoyed time with the family no matter what

Hi all! Excited about my 1 week update...made it through Christmas without cheating, stayed under 20g net carbs all week except Christmas eve, when I had 36g net carbs which is not bad at all. Woke up today 2lbs lighter than yesterday for a total of 6lbs lost my first week being totally on track. Yay! So excited to keep going.8

These are such inspiring posts! I tried the Leto woe a couple of months ago then gave up before I had any of the benefits. The carbs (and old habits) were calling me! I’m going to start again as I’ve realised that the perpetual low level headache that I have actually improves when I eat less carbs. It seems to be a brutal way of eating but I’ll give it a go for it’s health benefits. I’m vegetarian. Good luck to all of you.1

It seems brutal when you eat as many carbs as I do! It’s a whole new way of eating for me.0

Had a lovely Christmas Day. 23 for dinner and gift opening, games and our family "talent show." It's controlled chaos. lol Ate tons of food, way too many carbs, lots of chocolate and sweets and all sorts of awful stuff and loved it. But no guilt at all. What is life if you can't celebrate once in a while. Right back on track today and I'll be back in ketosis before I know it. Didn't step on the scale and won't until next Sunday because I'm sure there was a gain, but it will go away. 3

I survived holidaze 2017!!!
Starting my New Year's Rez today hoping to clear out some carb damage by Jan 1.
I feel such relief as soon as the holiday passes. Spiritually I can feel my 20 pound albatross floating away..now if I can only make it happen in the real world!
That is the plan. Part of it anyway.3 -

@Marcelynh
I ended up with something very similar, and it turned out to be a nasty virus, and it was about 10 days and a steroid shot later before I could claim feeling human again. I hope yours is far kinder. All the hugs.0 -
I’m still away from home staying with my parents and bouncing from one relatives to another’s facing meal after carb-filled meal. I’m trying to make “good” choices but will be happy to be on the road back home tomorrow.0

Oh. Ha ha! I wasn’t sure what you meant by that.0 -
I’m finally on my way home from spending the Christmas holidays with my parents. I plan to ease my way back on track over the next few days and be ready to aim for full on ketosis come the first week of January. I’ve got about 35-ish lbs I’d still like to lose and I want them gone in 2018!3

Im new to Keto but have had a good experience with low carb in the past. Its my first week & I have been hitting a little high in the protien area & a little low on fats but otherwise doing pretty good. Im sure I will get it figured out. Im looking forward to the January challange to see how I can do by following the plan for a full month.
Here's hoping we all have a great new year!3 -
