I need to decide if I’m doing keto or not. I’ll do great first part of the week and then fall off by the weekend. Keto is how I lost the baby weight after #2. I know it works for me- I just need to commit to it.
I tried and love it for a bit but missed my beans so I decided to do my own version of low carb and have been on track ever since. I'm sure you'll find a way to either commit or find something that works for you.
@gjaholy33 it’s oats that I miss most! I always thought it’d be sugar, but oats in my smoothies somehow make them more filling.

@vicky2767 I might try under 100g. I like rules to guide my eating, but starting with 100 might help me be more successful.0

You are such a true inspiration and support for this team! Thank you. Thank you for being so open. You are wonderful.2 -
@Beckymomof3girls you’re allowed to blow off steam. Hope things are less stressful today.0

Made it to the gym this morning. Not pushing to hard as I’m just getting back to it after being sick. But it did feel great.0

@Beckymomof3girls Keto is one of the most effective ways to burn fat and lose pounds, the only thing is you really have to commit to it, you can't just do it for a month and say it's not working. You have to give it 6-8 weeks to really start working and then you will start seeing all the benefits. And it's not for everyone honestly, but it really does work.0 -

Hi All,
It’s been a ridiculously stressful week and then I had an aunt die - I didn’t get to post on Saturday. Sorry.
It’s safe to say my weight loss was going great and then it’s come to a halt. I need to reboot.
Hope you are all having a good Monday!

Week #2
Original starting weight: 273
PW: 230.1
CW: 223.8
Wooohoooo!!!! The plateau has been broken in a big way. I went three weeks gaining and losing the same two pounds so this is a welcome relief. Plateaus are such a bear. I knew I was doing everything right but I was starting to doubt myself. I'm glad I stuck with it. I am 0.8 lbs away from a 50 lb loss now.
A few weeks ago I bought 3 pairs of pants that were way too small. I am now wearing one of those pairs of pants at work. I just ordered 3 more pair because my old pants are falling off of me. They need to go in the Goodwill bin. I also ordered 3 too small shirts. I've gone from size 26 to size 20. It will be nice to get back in the teens again....and it's not too far away.
I made my 2nd meal in the Instant Pot yesterday. Of course I had to do something dumb again. I forgot to put the liner pot in there when I sautéed the chicken. It was a mess...surprisingly the pot still worked after a tedious cleaning. I really should take it apart and thoroughly clean it....but I was too lazy (and hungry) yesterday. Anyway, the meal turned out great.....not as good as the roast though.7 -

TODAY'S MOTIVATION TIP: INFO ON
WEIGHT LOSS VS FAT LOSS
"Do You Want to Lose Weight?
If you answered yes, you are wrong. Well, not wrong actually, but what you’re really wanting to do is lose fat. . .The goal to successful weight loss is to preserve as much muscle as possible, or possibly even gain some, while at the same time lose as much body fat as possible. Your body fat % is a key indicator of your success, not the scale. . .Muscle is vital to your success for losing fat. Muscles have these little fat burning powerhouses called mitochondria. Mitochondria are cellular power plants that are responsible for the production of energy. It’s in the mitochondria that fat is metabolized. There is a positive correlation between the amount of muscle you have and the number of mitochondria. And it stands to reason that the more mitochondria you have, the more the potential to burn fat.
Get More Mitochondria
How do you get more of these little cell powerhouses? You need to be giving your body a reason to create more of them. You do this by performing high intensity exercise. HIIT training is just one of these methods. Weight training is another. By creating a large demand for energy up and above what your body can already produce, your body is forced to create new mitochondria in order to be prepared for the next time your muscles call on that needed extra energy.
The great thing about muscle and mitochondria is that they are active tissue. Unlike fat, they need constant energy to maintain themselves – energy like fatty acids. What does this mean? It means that your body will be burning fat at all times of the day – even while you’re sleeping. Yes, it is possible to burn fat in your sleep, and that is how." http://bodycarehealthclub.com.au/weight-loss-vs-fat-loss-the-difference-explained/
DISCLAIMER: Rememberthese are just tips some may not agree but as always be free to do your own research to make the best decisions for your personal journey2 -
@vivky2767 Glad you are feeling better! 💃🙋♀️
