    Keto is working great for me. I'm losing weight and I have a lot of energy. Yesterday I managed 47 mins on the elliptical!! In the past, I've only ever been able to do a max of 15 mins. After the elliptical, hubby and I cooked dinner together. I had a beef stuffed pepper and a mushroom cap with cheese. Then I enjoyed the nice weather ( it's been raining here the last two weeks) and weeded the garden for 45 mins. After coming inside for the night and getting cleaned up, I baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies for hubby's co workers and I didn't steal a nibble at all!! :smiley: I'm so proud and encouraged right now. I hope this continues for me. I would really like to be at 250 before we start trying again for a baby.

    I was pretty lax on counting calories over the weekend. We traveled for a first birthday. I brought a salad with me and still managed to eat mostly keto. I had one bite of a cake because it’s bad luck if you don’t partake. Still proud of myself for only gaining .4lbs.

    So hi. I'm back. I've been in this group for years but have taken a lengthy haitus over the last 6-8 months because life. And breast cancer. But hey...new boobs right? The medication I'm going to be on for the next 5-10 years is causing weight gain, which is harder than you would think, mentally---to have 7-10bs of skin/fat removed (Hey, I was gonna be under anyway...) then weigh the same?...means you gained 7-10 lbs right? And that's after gaining 10 outside my comfort zone.

    I've missed y'all.

    WOW! Hey Brooke and welcome back. I was feeling sorry for what I know is going to happen to my boobs after 100+ lbs, but I don't envy your new set at all. You earned that rack! I'm glad it sounds like you are doing so well. I wouldn't worry too much about that 7-10lbs...you've been here and done that and it will be back off before you know it...cause...you got this! (before it became a thing again)!

    True story, my breast surgeon laughed once. Not the plastic surgeon but the BC surgeon. I wasn't hurt or insulted, I was jokingly opening up the robe in a flasher fashion (you get REAL used to showing your boobs when you have like 5 doctors dealing with them and multiple appointments each week) and I thought it was because of how I did it but she said that it was just that I have this baby face and look so young (bless her) but my body doesn't match at all. I totally went from a 46H to a 34 long. Still....loose skin, you can really deal with. Compression garments and a good bra and nobody but you knows. I do love my new boobs though. They look better than they ever did in my life, THANKS BC!

    I'm glad it worked out really well for you! Congrats on your boobies! I'll start researching getting a lift when I get closer since a plastic surgeon is the one thing we don't have in our family. Modesty does not run in my family either. Everyone in my family is a MD (dad, mom, aunt, 2 uncles, grandfather) so nudity means absolutely nothing to us. That is how my husband got really inducted into the family. It was my youngest brother's bar mitzvah, and we had all come back from the temple to the hotel room to change. I thought nothing of our getting out of our clothes and changing into the party attire until I noticed Joel's face as my aunt was casually having a conversation with him while zipping up her dress and adjusting her boobs. Yeah, 20 years later, he is almost over his aversion to the casual nudity in my family...along with some of the most random comments ever uttered...."hey, that brisket smells just like my medical cadaver. That is a smell you never forget." Yep...my family.

    2.8lbs until I reach my monthly goal! Everyday this week I’ve met my 10k daily step goal. I’m super excited. Can’t wait until I’m down to 250!

    Anyone else going on vacation this month? I'm going to the North Woods/UP (WI and MI) to do some hiking and relaxing with my sister. She has had WLS and looks great. I know she will be supportive--most of the time :)

    I just realized how easy it will be to take my food scale!

    Yeah! Hello Mkculs! Hope you have a great vacation too! It makes it a lot easier when everyone else has to watch their calories too....and no one looks at you weird if you break out a food scale. I'm sure you and your sister are going to have a great time. I've driven through there when I lived in ND and helped a friend move over to Escanaba, but I didn't get to stop. Hope you get in a lot of amazing day hikes! We'll be expecting pictures :)
