Back on track after last weekend's carb fest that puffed me all up. Forgive me for my ignorance, I'm not on social media, what is an NSV?
My goal for the month is to punch through the 60s and make a dent in the 50s.

My goal this month is 8 lbs, but mostly I'll just be thrilled with 5 lbs because that makes a pretty big milestone for me

Thank you, Mrs. Hoffer!2 -
Hi guys, doing the May challenge too. Had a few days away in Madrid and came back and weighed myself this morning to find that I had lost 3lbs. I tried to stay Keto apart from the Gin and tonics, no tonic light version so I only had a few!

I think we are at home most of this month, hopefully, as we are in Italy in June so time to loose to afford to gain, or is that not the attitude!!

I am new to Keto and the group. I am looking forward to learning and would love join the monthly challenge. I have been ill for several months and gained a lot of weight. I want to set my goals incrementally based on previous weight plateaus on my way to gaining all of the weight over the years. My first goal is the weight I was before I got sick - 198. I am now getting better and starting Physical Therapy so hopefully that will help too.

NSV TIME!! Today I am wearing a pair of pants I haven't worn in 12 years!!! Actually, they are loose...SCORE!!!
Aiming for 4lbs this month. Also, this week I am pre-logging my boring food. I make better choices when my meals are all spelled out for me. I tweak here and there but for the most part, I stuck to the plan Sun-Tuesday.

I once told her how much more we could have, if we invested the cost of the passes (instead of going to Disney), she told me that I could continue to be married OR have that extra money. It wasn't going to be both.
***Bonus points if you can find that location and get a photo of where I was standing. LOL
I’ll do my best to get a matching pic - I love a good challenge!
We got back to the hotel from Epcot about half an hour and it just now occurred to me that I completely forgot the challenge to find this spot. At least I think I’m doing better at the challenge of good food choices than I expected I would! Thanks for your tips earlier - they’ve definitely been helpful.

Hey everyone!! Who's ready for our FIRST May weigh-in?!
Okay, Not me, not yet. LOL
I DO however have another NSV. As a result of the changes I've made in my food & lifestyle choices, my kids are making better choices as well. I've always been very conscious of how I feed my kids. They're all healthy kids who love to eat the fruits & veggies and are in great shape. I've never kidded myself though. I know plenty of kids who are healthy, just to reach adolescence or adulthood and they don't know how to live a truly healthy lifestyle so they become unhealthy and pack on the lbs.
My kids are opting for fresh food instead of packaged crap. They're asking for veggies & fish/seafood at meals and they're happily going for walks with me. I couldn't ask for a better NSV. I get to lead them with my actions. What a WIN!!
Spreadsheet is updated and ready for Sunday! I'm looking forward to more NSV posts!8 -

I would like to join! I just started keto and looking for all the info and advice I can!4

Hi! Just started Keto today! Overall I have 100 lbs to lose. Thanks in advance for the support - so far the first day has been going well...just feeling a little tired. Planning to work out tomorrow as well.5

That's a wonderful NSV! I'm so happy for you and your family!
And thank you for maintaining our spreadsheet! ^_^0 -
NSV for today:
I wore a belt! My jeans have become so baggy that I knew if I wanted to wear my 'fat pants' I'd HAVE to wear a belt. So I did, and it didn't hurt.
AND
I could do it to one more ring smaller than where it was used to sitting at (you know, where it's all dented in because that hole was used so much). ^_^

I love it!!! I need a nice belt in my life. Something with a big buckle that draws attention to me and says, "this chick is SASSY!"4 -
Welcome @webbers2002 & @laneybird1

I’m weighing in for our group today, instead of tomorrow, because of the Kentucky Derby. I’ve been invited to a KD party this afternoon. I anticipate mint julips, hot browns and lots of other KD goodies that may kick me out of ketosis and jump on the scales with me tomorrow morning. Not using this as an excuse! I’ll try to stay keto without offending too many of my non-keto friends who have prepared KD treats for my pleasure.
On my 120th day of keto, my pre-Derby weight is 164.4 lbs. That gives me a loss of 0.8 lbs for the first week of May and brings me to a total loss of 43.0 pounds for 2018. Today my Tanita scale says I gained some body fat this week. Not crazy about exchanging muscle loss for weight loss, so I might make some macro adjustments to compensate for that. I wonder if mint julips have any protein in them?????
My NSV for this week is: Keto has turned me into a “Fat Head”. I heard our brains are composed of over 90% fat. I’m convinced keto has increased the fat in my head. I haven’t misplaced my car keys in months, I boldly go to the store without making a list and I’ve called all my grandkids by their correct names ever since I’ve been in ketosis. My mood, memory, attitude and other brain functions have all improved!!!!
I
eating fat and I keto!
