So the Challenge is now well on the way into those really difficult months of celebrations and holidays...........

A new challenge month 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 again, good luck in December.

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL........................2019 who can believe it!!

Good luck to everyone, welcome to everyone new and well done the old faithfuls!!

    Good luck to you too! My goal for December will be to practice portion control, IF 3-4 times a week when we don't have guests, and work out 2-4 times a week. My parents are coming to town, and we've already selected the restaurants to take them to (Korean, Indian, Afghan, and Caribbean), some of which I can stay on keto, others I'm going to enjoy the splurge. I should be able to eat on-plan when we are eating at home, which will help. There are a few holiday parties coming up, and I will stick with the cheese, meat, and wines. Hope any weight gained falls off as quickly as it might come on!

    I took keto to the next level and went carnivore beginning October 1. I decided to put the scale away for a while to focus on healing migraines, inflammation and IBS symptoms.

    I do have weight loss goals that I want to get back to so I’m back in for December.

    Starting weight 192.8
    Current weight 182.8
    Goal weight 130

    @xDaniDragonflyx that sounds like a great goal (especially after how you felt about eating, and more importantly enjoying, Thanksgiving dinner)

    @cheermom49 are you worried about cheese intake for the fat? or because all your calories will go to that rather than other foods? hope it goes well for you

    Count me in on this challenge. Although I have lost weight I am finding myself slipping recently back to old habits and weight creeping back up. Goal for this challenge is to keep to keto, not slip back to old habits and to get into a pair of jeans that are slightly too small to do up.

    I started to eat less than 50 g of carbs a day. Not sure if this is keto. I was not losing weight for several weeks with eating 1400 cals on higher carb. Now I am eating 2000 cals in low carb and lose weight. It‘s crazy!

    Hey everyone. I'm new to the keto group. Planning on participating in the challenge this December.
    If anyone has any tips or advice or just wants to support eachother you can add me as a friend. I find that I'm more successful if I have to be accountable to someone 😂

    Hello, Im new to the Keto Diet and only on day 3, but im hoping this will work where other "diets"/"lifestyle" changes have not.
    My question is, by mid day, i have eaten my macros of carbs and protein but have like 100 Fat to go! And thats having eggs/bacon for breakfast; cheese/deli meat for a snack if needed/ and then lunch and dinner are sometimes a challenge. I made Keto meat pie which was awesome but 600 calories and took me over the top for the day in all my macros. So today i had turkey and brussel sprouts and brocolli,, met my protien and carbs already, but have all fat left. now what! any suggestions to make this easier? I dont want to eat bacon and cheese all day, as tempting as that sounds.
