Goal Weight

bdgfn

I have been on MFP for several years, and while I've had some success, it has been hit and miss. The lowest my weight has been in decades was several years ago when my wife and I did the HTC diet. I would not recommend it at all. Yes, I lost quite a bit of weight, but I also lost muscle/lean body mass. And the weight came back fairly quickly. I have had the same initial goal weight for some time, and could never quite get there. Today, after two weeks on Keto, I dropped .2 pounds below my initial goal weight! I've lost just over 13 pounds in the past two weeks on Keto, and it really is not a struggle at all! In fact, the only struggle I've had so far is ensuring I get ALL of my macros in! Anyway, I reset my goal weight by another 25 pounds. I should hit that before summer, if all goes as planned.

Hello, I want to start keto but all these fancy recipes are crazy, what is a day of meals like for you? If you don't mind a simple run down?

I gained one pound this week, although I felt like I had followed my macros closely all week. I need to go back and review my week to see where I may have slipped up. I've only been at this for 4 weeks, and I have lost 16 pounds, but I do not like seeing the scale go up! BTW, I am following the keto program found on Common Sense Keto FB group. Not all Keto plans are the same, although the end goal is.
