MAY!! What happened? Summer here we come: let's get that weight off and enjoy the summer by not feeling all that extra weight! Who wants to feel like a beached whale? No? Then join or continue the Monthly Challenge!
Here we go: a new challenge but the old spreadsheet!
So don't look for a new one of those, but continue to post your weight on the 'Keto Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet' which Nikki will update as needed. You can obviously also post your weight in this post and many do.
For anyone new out there; feel very welcome to join, we usually post our weigh Sundays and use the 'Keto Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet' also in 'Announcements' to track weight.
We use this thread to encourage each other and to add our weight as well if we want to and generally chat!
It's fun and it's been working and we've lost a shed load of weight between us. It seems to keep us going and even if we go up occasionally (and who doesn't!) we get back to it and continue the journey.
So here we go, good luck in May.
To finish off April; Monday 04/30
Sunday 05/06
Sunday 05/13
Sunday 05/20
Sunday 05/27
Thursday 05/31 for those who like to round off the month!

Hi! I am new, not to keto particularly although I'm recently back on it after an unexplainable hiatus! But I'm very new to discussing it in (virtual) public, I've decided I'm lonely with literally no one IRL that eats like I do! So is it as simple as adding myself to the spreadsheet? Many thanks3
-
yup that's it really, if you have a problem adding yourself just let NikkiJRM know and she will add you, sometimes there is a problem with the apt on phones. Also feel free to just log your weight in the April or soon to be May Challenge, people vary about what they do some do both and some just one! Welcome to the like minded!! It's a very supportive group.2

Ready for May! I love this group. I'm changing my goal weight from 150 to 140. Up until about 12 years ago I was below 130 but I've since been through menopause and just normal aging. I don't think 140 is unreasonable and it may take most of the summer to get there, but I'm confident I can do it with this new way of eating. I'm loving keto.

Glad to join in! Think I got myself added to the spreadsheet ok. I started trying keto out 10 days ago and have been very happy with it so far. A couple little slip ups, but overall I’m finding it easy to follow and satisfying.
Now next week might be a different story, when I’m far from home at Disney World with 3 kids for 5 days, but I’m already looking forward to being able to really commit myself to it when we get home.

Here we go again. I really like renewing our challenge each month. It gives me a feeling of accomplishment to check off another month of keto. I also really like the spread sheet, Nikki maintains for us, that ties together our monthly group with our progress for all of 2018.
May will be month 5 of keto for me. I’m not going to set weight or body fat goals for May. Instead I’m going to set a goal to diligently log, track, monitor and adjust my keto stats daily. Each month of 2018 my record keeping has been getting a little sloppier.
I feel May is going to be the month where I approach my ideal keto weight and body fat. My thinking is that sometime during this month I will reach a healthy level where weight/bf loss stops naturally. This is where I have failed in the past.
The transition from losing to maintaining has been my downfall on numerous previous occasions. In the past, I would slowly stop doing what gave me success and slip back to my old habits. Not this time, I have keto as a weapon to fight off the weight and friends like you at my side to keep me accountable and motivated.

@skctilidie I have a few friends who stay fully keto at Disney World semi-regularly! Good luck.
P.S. I think one blogged about her experience, if you're interested...

She goes through all the days, week plus, including her reflections on what she would do differently.4 -

Awesome, thank you! I’ve promised the munchkins that we can all do the “desserts around the world” tour of Epcot that the 11 and 12 year old been researching and planning, but if I can stick to the plan on the other days of the trip, all the better!1 -
Here we go! May will be my second full month of Keto and I feel like I've finally gotten into a good groove. My goal going forward is to consistently exercise, even if just 20 minutes a day. Only 21 lbs left to go for me!

@FIT_Goat might also have some ideas for how to stay on plan at Disney...I forget his advice... Turkey legs, perhaps?0

I just passed my 2 month mark doing keto and still loving it! My weigh in schedule is a bit different from everyone else's:
April 30:
May 6:
May 13:
May 20:
May 27:
May 31:
I like weighing in at the end of the month, rather than the beginning.
