    Ultimate goal weight: 145 Lbs

    HAPPY CANADA DAY EVERYONE! Today will be my 54th day on keto. And will also be my very first ever “cheat” day. Nothing too crazy, I’m still staying away from wheat/rice/processed sugars. I’m going to eat a bit of fruit and maybe a bite of poutine (a BITE not a serving) and have some sweet sauce on my meat tonight to enjoy the celebrations for my beautiful country. Have a wonderful day!

    SW 256.5 1/06/2018
    GW 180 lbs

    July goal: 205-210 lbs.

    I took a trip to Japan where I was eating and drinking every night. I was worried about gaining weight. Last time I weighed myself was June 11th at 214 lbs. I weighed myself Thursday June 28th after coming back and was 225! I got back on my keto diet and as of this morning I was at 216.6. I was going to the gym over there and doing lots of walking. I tried to keep it keto the first two days but I was *kitten* it. I enjoyed Japanese food and drinking with my friends. I thought that damage was gonna be much greater but I’m happy to be back on my diet and not having to worry about carbs so much.

    I say, "good for you" regarding the bolded. I've not been to Japan or any place really exciting but my approach is quite similar on the few special occasions I have every year. I'm quite convinced they keep me on track the other 95% of my meals. I'm not into "carb binges" but I do enjoy all foods and therefore don't have an "I'd never eat that ever" or "I can't eat that ever" thought, language or behavior.

    My ULTIMATE goal is to no longer have weight and health issues. I want to be fully focused on other life goals and feel completely in control of this aspect of my life.


    BINGO!!! Well said.

    I LOVE this! This is exactly how I feel too!

    Here we go, July. My goal for this month is the same as @lcantrell65 ... to weight less than 158.4. I love that goal! Even if it's just half a pound, I've met my goal! I would very much like to say that I have a goal of reaching 156 by the end of July, but my lips are sealed and I will not utter those words. :wink: I don't want my new scale to know, just in case it develops some sort of animus. :o

    Keto Jan SW: 175
    Current Weight: 158.4
    June Goal: less than 158.4

    Hey everyone! I had such a fantastic last week of June! Yesterday I had my 1st annual Summer Kick-Off Party on the Lake. So many people came to enjoy food and swim fun. I cooked A LOT. Thinking back, I didn't have a plan regarding what I would eat, or even how much. I did eat a lot, mostly chicken and hand-pressed burgers. I'm glad I was able to just enjoy the day with friends and food without being stressed over it. I hopped on the scale fully expecting to weigh at least 5lbs more than what I did, but not the case.

    In other news, my Dr's office called back, and my Total cholesterol is still slightly elevated, and so is my LDL. Not so much that they wanted to discuss meds or anything, but they said they'd check again in 6m, and so exercise more, and eat healthy (something about whole grains and low fat...yeah okay).

    This week 3 of the 4 kids start summer programs and camp. I get an entire 2 hours in the morning with my 13yo to get to the gym, so that's the plan!!

    Goal for July, stay between 175 & 180 :#

    Hi everyone!

    I'm new to this group, but I've been low carb for 15 years. I started trying to do keto seriously in February this year, and I'm happy to report that June was the first month that I got my macros under an average of 20g carbs per day.

    Jan 2018 - 2,790g = 90g per day
    Feb 2018 - 1,077g = 39g per day
    Mar 2018 - 856g = 27g per day
    Apr 2018 - 683g = 23g per day
    May 2018 - 787g = 25g per day
    Jun 2108 - 569g = 19g per day

    For July, I am setting the goal of 11g per day on average or a total of 350g of carbs for the month.

    I'm not terribly focused on weight loss but would like to lose 2.5 lbs during the month of July.

    Good luck everyone!
