    I hope this doesn't jam up the group percentages!

    No not at all, I usually do the final tally at the end of the week just before setting up the new week, in case anyone forgets to update. There's always extra time. :)

    Ugh.
    Still on my TOM, going on week 3 now :s . I feel pretty bloated and bummed to have gained weight.
    I am also not going #2...so maybe that's weighing on the scale too, lol!

    Here's to a better week, I guess :/

    01/28: 240.8
    Still TOM but the scale is finally moving down again. This is also the most I've lost in a week so I guess this is the famous whoosh people talk about?

    @River_Goddess , you've inspired me a LOT this week; your macros are always on point, and that helped me stay on top of mine and I've had a great week. Thank you!
    This is such a great supportive group, I am looking forward to February!

    Thanks, I needed to hear this today. I've had 3 really off days eating-wise... ate wayy too much keto chocolate, drank too much alcohol at a winter carnival and now that I've come down with a bad cold (and TOM), I just want to eat everything. I will weigh in tomorrow morning but I am not expecting a loss this week - due to both nature and my not-so-hot choices.
    Your comment was really nice to hear and inspires me to not allow my 3-days of slack choices become 4 or 5, etc... back to the regime tomorrow!!

    1/2 - 158.8
    1/7 - 156.4
    1/15 - 158.4
    1/21 - 157.0
    1/29 - 156.4

    A little bummed because earlier in the week the lowest number I saw on the scale was 154.0, which would mean a nice even 20 lb loss overall. I'm determined to get there! Coming really close, but falling off the bandwagon once or twice and going beyond my carb limit really has an effect… Goal for next month is to be better about planning meals and pre-preparing so I'm not tempted! Great job this month everyone!

    Jan 14 - 243.0
    Jan 21 - 241.8
    Jan 28 - 239.0

    Will weigh in on Jan 31st for a solid monthly total. To be realistic, the first 13lbs were water weight I had gained over Christmas. The other 8lbs though... that's actually new territory :) Thrilled to be in the 230s!

    I guess stress got me this week, with Govt shut down and losing a day of pay, sick kids, and hellish OT hours. :/
    I guess I have to work harder in February.

    Is this challenge still going on. I’ve been on Keto since November and losing slow, but losing inches. A1C normal on Trulicity now and digestive system is great.
    Looking for friend to go through new lifestyle change.

    Congrats!!! Oh my, the 230s! I am so close to it I actually considered shaving my hair off to get rid of a couple of pounds! Lol.
    Hopefully I'll be there next weigh in.

    Ugh! I totally forgot to update, but have been weighing and chugging along!

    1/21: 223
    1/28: 221

    Down 8 in January, which is awesome. But the biggest wins for me are definitely NSV's. I'm back to not feeling like crap after falling off the wagon during the holidays AND I snagged my bf's jacket over the weekend (he's tall and skinny so we make quite the pair lol) and I was able to comfortably zip it up!! He was pretty amused by how I nerded out over it, but seriously...I had worn it before and hadn't even tried to zip it because it was an obvious no go. Clearly the inches are moving along with the scale!

    I am ending January at 138! I can't complain too much, I ate like total crap for 4 days on vacation this weekend. It was a lot of fun. But I am a happier person eating well. I noticed my mood and self esteem started going down by day 4 of not taking care of myself. Back to Ketoing on!!!
