One month of Keto as of today! I remember feeling bloated and just plain awful on 12/27/18, the day after we came home from visiting family for the holidays. I had been studying Keto and IF during December and decided to commit myself to one month of Keto with no cheating and I've done it!!! Yay!!! I believe this is the LONGEST I've gone without cheating/binging on a diet/eating plan/WOE for as long as I can remember. My husband scoffed at Keto and I told him give me one month, let's see how it goes and how I feel. Well, I'm 10.6 pounds down and feeling pretty good. I have more energy and am less hungry. My clothes fit better. I'm going to keep going.

I think im going to up my calories a bit. Im going to add more protein was at 140g going to put that at about 160g. Then add about 15g of fat to my daily intake. Im not hungry at all but dont want to lose any mucle mass. I just want to lose 1.5-2 lbs a week at MOST so im going to take a big look at week 3 and see what i did there. Awesome start though I feel great!!!!4 -

1/2/2019 - Hello all! I am giving Keto a try because I am at an all time high (258 lbs) and the doctor recommends Keto for my PCOS. I can't wait to read everyone's insights and results! Happy New Year!
1/7/2019 - 6.3 lbs down! All water weight of coursebut I will keep pushing and see what next week's weigh in brings!
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!
1/21/2019- 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.
1/28/2019- 4.8 lbs down! I did an accidental fast on Saturday when I took the day off and read my book the ENTIRE day. That made me drop a lot. Didn't mean to and most likely will not do that again!

@Kiki_StartingOver
What an awesome start. I was wondering if you knew about the companion spreadsheet Nikki maintains for our forum. Here’s a link to it. Check it out. It would be a great place to show-case your success. It has served as motivation and accountability for me and others.

I started Keto for the first time on Jan 1 of this year. I've tried hard to eat clean foods and even made my own keto bread. I've completely cut out sugar. I can't believe how much better I feel. I've stuck to the macros for Keto: 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs. I'm down 24 lbs. in 28 days! I'm amazed. Is losing this fast normal? Is it because I have a large amount of weight to lose? Will my weight loss slow down? Most of my joint pain is gone! Is this too good to be true? So many questions!!5

No loss this week, but 4.4 lbs down is pretty great! I also realized that I have been following keto for 10 months now! I always had a tendency toward lower carb, but often people would scoff and think I was just crazy or following a fad diet.
Now I know the science behind this WOE (big thanks to 2 Keto Dudes podcast) and the importance of fat for health (physical and mental) and satiety. I am a PhD student in neuroscience, so understanding the research and the scientific basis of ketosis/ketogenic lifestyle (and the complete lack of scientific support for the high carb/low fat Standard American Diet) has been incredibly important for me.
Looking forward to February with you all!4 -
Derp, I forgot to post on Tuesday of last week.

Tuesday 01/22: 135.8kg/299.4lbs
Tuesday 01/29: 135.3kg/298.4lbs
Had a yo-yo stall this month. Something or somethings kept on kicking me out of ketosis and causing carb cravings. Added in a 5-HTP and cut back everything to keto basic. Seemed to do the trick. Really worried my beloved Premier Protein Drinks are the culprit, coupled with actual fat content from hamburger being 20-50g lower than it should be based on how I cooked the meat.
135.3kg/298.4lbs IS my lowest tracked weight to date. That is something I have to remind myself. Progress might have been slow this month, but it is progress. Besides, my legs are looking awesome from the bike.
Good luck to everyone this week/month/year/lifetime!8 -
I just found this, but have been doing keto for the last month. I weigh on Mondays, here's my progress:
12/31 - 258.2
1/07 - 249.6
1/14 - 246.4
1/21 - 245.4
1/28 -243.8
total weight loss: 14.4 lbs.
We're doing a biggest loser challenge at work (8 weeks total) my goal is to lose 20 lbs by that time frame. I've noticed by week 3 my progress started slowing down. As long as it keeps going down, it'll all add up.5 -
@jemillen No, 24 pounds in 28 days is not typical. You are a rock star. We are humbled to have you join our group. Please look for the Feb challenge group and hang with us to report your success. Way to go!
@Centarussoter Wow, you are creeping up on 100lbs lost. Only 15 more to go. Looks like you’ve made steady progress for months now. Thanks for joining us. Can’t wait to hear more of your success stories.
@mrsskinny629 Twenty pounds in 8 weeks is definitely in reach for you at this pace. Weight loss does slow down after the first few weeks of keto but stick with it. We are all experiments of one and each one of us reacts differently. Your 4-week loss of 14.4 is quite remarkable! Thanks for joining us.
Welcome all of you new or old. Hope to see you all in our Feb challenge forum.

Keep Lost weight OFF during this Holiday Season - Nope, I didn’t keep it all off, but I also didn’t gain it all back like last year, so I consider that a win!

Ultimate Goal Weight: 145
I’m back from vacation and ready to get back on the keto wagon! (Oh keto how I have missed you! I promise to not cheat again for a VERY long time!!!)
I want to start the year by working towards Valentine’s Day!
Sunday 01/06 - 193.4 lbs - whoops! Vacation hurt more than I thought it would! But I know I’ve got some bloating left from the travel so hopefully next week I will see a big drop.
Sunday 01/13 - 189.8 Now that’s more like it!!!
Sunday 01/20 - 191.4
Sunday 01/27 - 191.0
