A little bummed, but I know weight fluctuates and since I weighed in a little while ago I know today might be just a random day that my weight went up. Though I am gonna monitor it since I started some anti-depression drugs and I know they can cause weight gain.
For everyone who lost or maintained that’s amazing! Keep it up. It sure does feel good to see those numbers drop.1 -
First week done! I feel good and have been able to stick with it even when kids ate pizza and popcorn! No loses but adding exercise in this week.

NICE!!! Excellent weight loss! Keep it going!
Thank you! I'm a bread lover and going keto has been so difficult for me, but it's been very helpful for my arthritis so I'm sticking to it!2 -

That loss was all in the first few days, haven’t lost for a few days now, wondering if that’s normal or if I’m doing something wrong?1 -

A headache is a sign of keto flu. If you have no medical reason to not up your sodium, try upping your sodium/salt intake. 3000-5000 mg of sodium is generally recommended for those eating keto and or very low carb. You flush water weight initially and with the water, so goes sodium and other electrolytes. Salty boullion with an added ~1/2 tsp of extra salt is my friend. Fixes me up in 10-20 minutes when I have been slack on the salt/sodium.1 -

@trainwreck1984 @luvlylady72 @shizzlebeef @wtomsej welcome, just ask if you have any questions either here in the challenge or elsewhere in the Keto group. Good luck in your first week!0

I’m in! I’ve been researching and gathering recipes the last few weeks in preparation. Need to kick my horrible sugar craving and hoping to better my cholesterol. Also hoping to lose around 25 pounds as end goal.
Hi, any thoughts on the best site to start the Keto with advice and recipes . I also have a horrible carb and sugar craving ... I wish you well on it.
The Diet Doctor site is really excellent and has great recipes, you can put Keto in the search for recipes and it will just give you those. Also there is good advice available from people in the general keto forum and also the low carb one. Good luck!0 -

I couldn't do it. I tried to keep off the scale, but I failed. I'm such a loser. Oh wait! Yes I am! LOL! 4.4 lbs for this week...gone! 36 total. I'm almost halfway to my goal!
So you beat up your child to hand over the scales, nice work! (also nice work for the loss!!!)

I wanted to get to 233 so I'm pleased. Especially since TOM should start today or tomorrow and I've been giving into cravings like crazy!!! However, seeing @jenconv amazing progress inspires me to get back on the ball with keto. I forgot how much keto works when you really stick to it! This is why I love group challenges! We inspire and encourage one another!
Excellent work there!1 -
