    @mhernandez0502 Welcome, all you need to do is post your weight here every Sunday! You can also add it to the Monthly Challenge spreadsheet, sometimes there is difficulty accessing it but if you can't just let NikkiJRM know by posting here and she will link you in. Good luck!

    I'm in! Hope to lose 10 lbs this month. I have pcos with insulin resistance so it doesn't come off very quickly for me so fingers crossed!

    @sandyh1414 it's in the Keto Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet which is in the announcements, the same section as this Challenge before the discussions section. If you open that the first post should have the link, if it doesn't open let @NikkiJRM know by posting here. She will pick it up and send you how to access the link as it sometimes doesn't work, something to do with MFP. Also you can just post here as well, lots of us do both also we use this link to generally chat and comment. Welcome!

    @burnsdanielle Welcome and you know the tortoise won the race, right!! Also sticking to Keto will very much reduce the insulin resistance as you will stop burning carbs and start burning fat both eaten and body! A lot of women use it for pcos and it's issues. Good luck!

    Hi everyone. Can I please join? I’ve only recently come across Keto as I am hypothyroid and cannot seem to stop gaining weight. I’ve been doing lots of research on what’s foods I need to get in my next shop. I’m vegetarian though so I’m at a bit of a loss for protein alternatives to meat. I’ve 15 lbs to loose.

    @2018shauna of course you can join! Also protein alternatives to meat: eggs, cheese (fish if you eat them) tofu, cream, quorn, soya meatless products, just watch anything premade as they add lots of other stuff, you are better starting with the base ingredients and making your meals yourself, that goes for us all not just vegetarians! Also have some nuts but watch the amounts if you are like me and can eat a pack without noticing! There's plenty of advice about and check the stickies and the internet and diet doctor as well. Welcome and good luck.

    @caras12 Yup, that's pretty much it! Nothing complicated just post your weight weekly on Sunday (or about then, whenever is convenient for you: we ain't that strict!) Also there is a Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet in the announcements where you found this as well. You can add your name there and your weight weekly too. Sometimes it doesn't work at first if this is the case for you then just post on this thread and @NikkiJMR will send you a link, it's an MFP problem not the spreadsheet. Enjoy!

    So at last, an actual weight loss and NOT just from what I'd gained on holidays!

    25th February 159.8
    4th March 156.0

    This is actually the lightest I've been in years and exactly 28lbs or 2 stone down from 24th September when I thought enough is enough. We won't discuss how much quicker this would have been if I had never fallen off the wagon but at least what we all know is: climb back on again! Oh and lets not forget I have a gin night on Tuesday coming, gin cocktails and paired food...........and I have to say I will go up again as I'm not willing not to break out occasionally, the trick being trying to make it just occasionally!

    Here we go March. Weighed in at 172.0 today. I’m hoping to lose 5 pounds in March so a 2.8 pound loss is a good start. This will be the first month I consider myself fully keto adapted (9 weeks). Honestly, I almost feel like I was cheating the first thirty pounds were so easy to lose. I loved eating good food, never feeling hunger and feeling great. I’ve never experienced that in the last 40 some years of my yoyo weight loss journey.

    This Keto feels different. I think I can keep this up? One thing that is helping me keep up is this month at a time thread. I’ve been inspired by so many of your stories and ideas. I doubt if I ever would have discovered things like Air Fried Chicken Wings, or OMAD or Dragon Flags without this thread. The one month at a time also fits with my short attention span.

    Here’s to March! By the way, for those who care, I did one pull up, held a plank position for 1 minute and watched a video on how to do a Dragon Flag. The video may be as close as I ever get to doing a Dragon Flag. I <3 keto, eating fat and this thread.

    I’m hoping to be around the 218-220 (or less) range by the end of this month! Fasting and OMAD have definitely helped. Original first goal was 220. Second goal 200. Third goal perhaps 180. Let’s do this!


    3/04/2018 226 lbs
