    I'm on a bowling team with my wife and another lady. They wear t-shirts that say "Here for the Beer" and I wear my "I can't I'm in ketosis" shirt.
    That's too funny, Stormy! Thanks for the visual!! :laugh:

    My carbs are somewhat-accidentally netting under 50 (few cravings = not eating much "bad" stuff). Just got ketone test strips and curious to see the results. Happy with the new WOE. :smiley:

    Sorry I looked online for it this morning and couldn't find it again. However I saw several others in my search similar to it and even more that I was tempted to buy. I just googled keto t-shirts and was overwhelmed with choices.

    SW - 209.8 (SW for keto 4/15/18 - 206.8)
    GW - 150
    End of June GW - 185

    Friday, June 1 - 188.8
    Sunday, June 3 - 188.4
    Sunday, June 10 - 187.1
    Sunday, June 17 - 184.6
    Sunday, June 24 - 185.8
    Saturday, June 30 - 184.9

    Checking in a little early, as I’ll be seeing very little of my house this weekend thanks to a soccer tournament. Still up a bit from 2 weeks ago (not surprised by that considering both hormonal/pms type factors and the frequency with which I’ve allowed myself to go over my carb goal the past few weeks), but did just barely manage to hit my goal for the month.

    Yay @chinatowninchina! As I have been following this forum for quite a while, I want to acknowledge not only your weight loss achievement but also the consistent encouragement you provide to others and the warm welcome you provide to the "newbies". Kudos to you!

    I didn't meet my June goal, however I lost 10 lbs. So, I consider that a win. For some reason I rarely lose during the last week of the month. Weird, but still I feel better than ever! See you guys in the July challenge!

    Thanks @tinaainsworth ! I've tried jogging on and off over the years...but its just too hard on these old knees! I dont want to do more damage to them so I've decided that walking & hiking is just as good.

    Had bariatric surgery in 2013 because I was almost chair bound at 317# and 61 years old. Reached 138.0 in Apr 2015 and felt twenty years younger. Then slowly, insidiously started gaining again. Fought it like crazy, keenly aware that a pound a month would take under ten years to disable me again. Three years in and discovered LCHF WOE in May 2018 and the fighting stopped
    • 178.0 May 2018
    • 167.0 06/17/18
    • 164.5 06/30/18
    Reached two goals (1) into the low 160's & (2) walking again.

    I started Lo-Carb WOE to fight cravings and weight gain and am loving how healthy it feels. Since cravings don't drive me to eat junk now, I can choose protein and vegetables. I wasn't trying for ketosis (carb goal = 100) but it's resulting from these choices. Just got some ketone test strips and scored a "trace" response. That's something. :) Nice.

    I made a great discovery a few days ago. I have had my suspicions about conspiratorial tendencies in my scale. My husband was the one who rooted out the truth when he weighed himself before taking a shower and then for the heck of it weighed again after his shower and discovered that taking showers makes him gain weight. 3 pounds! He vowed never to take a shower again!

    I was so excited last Wednesday morning to discover that I had met my June goal of 157! Wednesday night before I went to bed I had gained 5.5 pounds! Not to worry, because during the night all of the weight magically disappeared. But in two hours after not eating or drinking anything and making two trips to the bathroom I had gained 3 more pounds!

    Note to self (and anyone else who may feel hostility from your scale): never trust a scale you don't know the history of. My husband had no idea when he purchased it (we've been married 11 years) and thought it might be 25 years old. I'm happy to report that now have a new scale that I'm confident is much more reliable. It's hard enough to lose weight without your scale working against you! I have no idea whether I actually hit my June goal the other day, (likely it was just my former scale playing a cruel joke)
    but I'll take the small victory of having finally broken through the 160s. Bring on July!

    Keto Jan SW: 175
    Current Weight: 159
    June Goal: 157
    Goal Weight: 140

    Sunday 06/03: 160
    Sunday 06/10: 159.5 (06/8)
    Sunday 06/17:159
    Sunday 06/24: 159
    Saturday 06/30: 158.4
