@gwendyprism I have always been a big water drinker...so not drinking it seems...odd lol
I fill up my water bottle 2-3 times a day, it holds a liter...I have just added another teaspoon of salt to that...that makes 2 teaspoons of salt plus anything that has been added to my food.
This HAS to help out somehow...1 -
I was craving a tuna sandwich today so I tried making my first keto bread. I wanted something simple with no exotic ingredients. Found a 1 serving microwave recipe. I was surprised how good it was! Nice to have an easy option and I no longer have to feel bread deprived.4

My "quote" and link seems to be acting weird lately. Hope this works.0 -
Recipe: mix in greased large mug or small bowl: 1 T oil or melted butter, 1egg, 3T almond flour, 1/2 t. Baking powder. Mix well with fork and microwave 90 seconds. Cut in half for 2 slices bread. (I toasted mine lightly in toaster to brown. )6

Day 30!!!
So, according to my weekly weigh-ins, I am down just a tad bit over10lbs. I wont measure myself until Nov 1st, but I know I have lost some inches already. Others have noticed a smaller waist...so yay!
First week was fine, a little tired but nothing crazy. Second and third week, keto flu was real! I was tired, foggy, feeling all types of icky...fourth week was a bit better. I started adding salt to my drinks and the keto flu went away. Energy wise I am still waiting for it to kick in. I am not super tired but I could use a little more energy.
My net carbs continue to be under 20g...my protein is always a bit over, but I am ok with that. Fat...sometimes I hit the numbers, mostly under...I feel full and sometimes don't even eat the full 1400 calories recommended...
The scale had been a little wonky these past few weeks, last 2 weeks there was a change at all, previous week to that it had only been 1lb down. This morning the scale finally moved towards the right direction....down! I will keep an eye out for a trend based on my cycle/ovulation, this is probably what was impacting my scale.
I am really looking forward to more changes. I have a picture I took last year on my bday (Nov 30) and I was about 10lbs more than my keto starting weight, would like to see how far down I get!!
Definitely will be taking a comparison pic!

I'm actively living the Ketogenic WOE and currently working toward a healthy weight. I am 5'3", 28 years of age, a mother of five, and I weigh 223.8lb (as of 10/30/2018). I am a ways away from my goal, but I'm enjoying the journey along the way.
I'm hoping for friends for accountability and motivation!6 -
Hi everyone! I’m Jeri and I’m brand new to this community. I recently started the Keto lifestyle about a week ago. Man, it’s been tough! I am hoping that I can learn a lot from this group and maybe gain a few accountability partners in the process! Not sure if this is the right thread for introductions, but I’m happy to be here and looking forward to making friends! 6

I'm new here too and am on day 6 of keto. I'm looking forward to the next week going by (hopefully quickly) so I can start to feel better and be more motivated to exercise. I'm zonked in the evenings but I know that will pass soon. I'm glad to have found this group and am hoping I can be a supportive member. Cheers!2

New to the group, not to MFP. Started in July at 173kg (383lbs), but I figure my true highest weight was around 180kg (396ish) last winter.
Current weight: 146kg (322lbs)
Year's End Goal Weight: 135kg (299lbs)
Overall Goal Weight: 78kg (173lbs)
Keto day 112 or 113, I've lost count tbh. I started tracking CICO at the start, so it's easy to know that is day 115.
Most carb cravings have stopped, which is pretty great. Keto is so much easier than it looks from the outside. I figured I'd eat more bacon on keto from the way other people talked about it.. but I rarely do.
Good luck to everyone else here, and I hope you hit your macros and your goals! Now, time to go do another 21km on the bike.8 -
Hey everyone! Hope y'all are having a good day so far! This is my first time posting in the daily check in thread but I've been a member of the group for a while and have been doing Keto since April. What's up with y'all today?1
-
Is it really day 121 for me? 50 days and 8.6kg (19lbs) left until my yearly goal.
Hope everyone else is having success and hitting their macros!6 -
@CentaurusSoter amazing progress!!! Good for you!2
