Two more pounds this week! I can’t really see/feel a difference yet, but my husband says he can so that’s a plus! Lots of temptation this week with birthdays, cake & a buffet but I stood strong. I pray to God that he continues to give me strength!5 -

What macros are you trying to meet? When I had that issue, I had to start tracking by counting my protein, fat and carb grams and then the calories would take care of themselves. For example, my macros are: 100g Protein / 68g Fat / 20g Carbs (I'm doing a lower fat version of Keto) If I meet those macros, my calories should be right where they are supposed to be for weight loss and then I don't have to count calories.
With that said, if I end up under in calories because I come under on fat, I am okay with that because that just gives me a greater calorie deficit to reach my goals. I always try to meet my protein goal though because that is going to keep me from losing muscle.

I agree that getting old is not for sissies. This weekend we watched family videos with our kids from 13 years ago. It is not fair what a decade can do!
I am only 5'1" so I don't have any height to spare, so I am NOT happy about that part of aging!
Your perspective is great....bring it on!

Okay, per my comment (that's sort of been buried in here), I am a daily weigher - usually once a day, sometimes twice. Well, I'm using my weigh in from Saturday as opposed to Sunday because on Saturday night I may have indulged in a bit too much non-keno wine and movie theater popcorn. Also either I made a typo in my previous weight post, or maybe it was wishful thinking... or MAYBE I'm just misremembering, but I think I was actually 162 last week, and then this week is when I finally got down to 160.... I'm starting to think I'm losing it. I put 162 on the spreadsheet, but 160 on here. I've got a lot going on... Oh well! Counting it as a win and edited last week! This weekend is my husband's birthday, but I will barely be tempted (he doesn't like chocolate), so I'm not too concerned and am planning on sticking with it! I want to be consistently down, because my water weight keeps fluctuating massively!

1/14/2019- 3.1 lbs down! Keto has been a bit of a struggle. I've experimented with a lot of new recipes for Keto. This, on top of my workouts, have been keeping me busy! Also lost .5 inch on my bust and chest!
1/23/2019- 2.2 lbs down! OMG, I am so happy! It has been a real struggle, especially with all the free junk food, bagels, and the likes here at work.

Hello Keto Mates, Last Sunday of the Jan 2019 is came for me. I am from India so I am the first one to log in the details!! Four Sundays went really fast. Its been almost close to two months of Keto for me, feeling really great. I have not seen many changes in my weight but I can feel in my body lite. The weight is like up and down think I'm in Plateau but I am happy the way I am going. This month I had a cheat day on Jan 1st from then I gain weight and loss that with Alternate day fasting!! A new week is back hoping this will have some changes in my food & Weight.

I started on the 6th January and haven't looked back! Also doing dry January which might extend to dry weight loss journey!
01/06 - 88 kg (193.6 lbs)
01/13 - 85 kg (187 lbs)
01/20 - 83.8 kg (184.4 lbs)
01/27 - 83.0 kg (182.6 lbs)
Recalculated my macros and ready for February!
Loving the accountability of MFP and the info from the Keto subreddit.7 -
I'm female, age 25, 5' 5''
Starting weight -154 (Sept 26th)
Current weight -130.8
Goal weight -around 119 (depends on image and haven't done any weights/resistance yet)
Monday 12/24 - 131 (Morning of cheat time start, which lasted 9 days. More than planned as gifted a lot of chocolate and cider, so also had cheat meals each day. Didn't track after this day)
Tuesday 01/02 - 139 (Went back on here and yep, 8lb gain. Mostly water but 2/3lb is fat as went overboard on kcals. I found I preferred keto alternatives in the end. Potatoes are so boring in any form. Rice, pasta and noodles also boring. Cauliflower mash and rice is so much better. Zoodles are great for noodles and spaghetti. Good keto recipe for other pasta. Bread I still enjoyed. Had toast with jam each day. Need to try keto bread recipe for toast. The overall feel of carbs and sugar though wasn't good. I felt crummy and towards the end my headaches were coming back, so was good to end before the migraines kicked in. I was also looking forward to healthy food again. )
Sunday 01/06 - 136 (Water weight going down)
Sunday 01/13 - 137 (Cheated on the 9th, my b-day, and for a couple days after. Water weight went back up, making weight 139 and I also struggled to go back. Had a keto day on 11th, tried making keto bread which failed and being that I spent hours on it I ate regular toast with jam from frustration. I got myself in the habit of snacking with the cheating so just felt hungry too much. Plain Weetabix in milk next night before managing to hold off any carby snacks other days. Those snacks still totalled to moderate low-carb though so wasn't too big a hit. )
Sunday 01/20 -132 (I was 134 yesterday so wasn't expecting the 2 pound drop. May go up 1 tomorrow cause water, who knows. Getting better with the snacks, though did give in to having chicken and nuts last night which I'm logging in today's diary. Goal this week is not to snack at night, going to bed earlier would likely help. The cheating really messed up my eating habits, which were easy before.)
Sunday 01/27 -130.8 (I've changed my scale to pounds instead of stone, so I have the 1/10 lb next to it now, in 0.2 increments. Snacking not a problem now as hunger has gone. Did try another bread recipe, but it was soon after waking and I read the egg count wrong haha. 4 whole eggs and 2 egg whites (separate the eggs). Ended up doing 2 egg whites and 6 egg yolks. Shouldn't bake while tired apparently.)

@chadrad2015 Don't worry about calories starting out. Just eat when hungry. Eggs, meat, cheese, butter, cream. Have these as or with snack or more in meals to fill up. Drink plenty of water.1 -

Looks like I may be reaching my goal this month. I think I'm at the lowest I've been in many years now. The baby just turned 12 this week, so I think I finally lost all the baby weight 🤣🤣🤣.
I was successful losing 50lbs in the past by cutting calories to nothing and doing tons of cardio, but after 3-4 months, for one reason or another, I stopped "dieting" and the lbs came all back and more.
This time, I'm convinced that I've found my WOE. After doing Keto for 8 months now, I think I'm not going back.
For those who have been following my posts, it's been 3 months since I've seen my sisters and over a year since I've seen the rest of the family, so I'm pushing hard the next three months because in April I'm going to visit the family and in May I'm running a half-marathon. So I want to be at my best and surprise my dad, but I also want to run as light as possible.
Smashing each goal on fat lb at a time!
Keep on keto5 -
This is week one of new settings on my Tanita scale. I’m now one year older, my new height is 5’4.5” (Shrunk from 5’6”) but I still identify as a male, Ha! As you may have guessed, my Tanita stats, BF%, muscle mass, physique rating, metabolic age, visceral fat and bone density all took a hit. However, no worries, these will serve as a new baseline for the shorter/older me. It’s all good from here.
Here’s some good news! I’ve lost a total of 10.0 pounds in January and the equivalent of 2 bowling balls (30lbs) since my keto start date. And the last 10 came off while logging my food only two out of the last 27 days. I’ve been doing keto for over a year now. I think I’m at a place, where I know intuitively, how to eat keto and stay fat adapted without logging everything. I know what I like, what works for me and what doesn’t.
For Feb. my goal is to stay fat adapted for a second month in a row without logging everything I eat. If I can accomplish this, I will consider myself one step closer to calling Keto a way of existing (WOE) instead of just a diet plan I must adhere to. Also, I acknowledge January was a disciplined effort to get back to keto. I recognize those first 10 pounds were mostly water weight as a result of transitioning back to a fat adapted state. I expect my weight loss to slow for Feb, but I’m confident all my new Tanita stats will improve as I continue a healthy journey with my new WOE.
