    I had to eat out unexpectedly yesterday and didn't stick to keto, so a little bump up on the scale today. I am not upset about this at all, as I know I want to make keto my WOE, and I know there will be those random one-offs where I may not be able to eat a strict keto meal. When I was heavily involved in the keto community, so many people were purists, and to admit this would've meant lots of lectures. And I used to be very, very strict on keto in the past, but then it never lasted. I was always in constant fear of carbs, so much so that I started following a near-zero carb lifestyle, which was not sustainable for me in the least. I am not doing it this time around. I would say 90% of the time, I can and will easily stick to keto eating, and I am learning to be okay with not being perfect 10% of the time. I think that may be the key for my success moving forward. In any case, back to the regularly scheduled program today!

    TOM is over and so is the bloating! Happy to see yesterday's bump-up and even more gone today.

    Big hugs, I had a wobble from being sick and struggled to get back on it. Tried to be kind to myself and managed to get back on track

    Great advice, @pinkfairy88. I agree. We have to be kind to ourselves. I wasn't yesterday, so I am trying to get back on track today.

    Moving to weekly weigh-ins since I can't handle the daily fluctuations after yesterday's weigh-in put me up a pound after I was so ecstatic to meet my Happy Scale goal the day before. I'm also starting to add in more exercise, and I always maintain or gain when I first start a new exercise program. My weekly weigh-ins will be on Mondays. Hope to see more updates from others in the meantime!

    Last check-in weight: 159.6 (close to tapping out haha)
    Current weight: 155
    Pounds until 149: 6

    Struggled to get back on track following sickness but I'm guessing there was quite a bit of water weight from antibiotics and sickness. Dropped over 4lb since last check in. Need to keep at it to get to 149! Here we go!

    Thanks so much! I didn't weigh in today because it was obvious that I was still retaining water from a rigorous workout this weekend, but I will come back and update later in the week or next Monday. Way to go on your weigh-in!

    So happy to hear this is helping you, Maddie! Great job getting back down from the 154s! I have a horrible habit of seeing an upward bump and falling off track (especially when I have been doing everything right), so you are my inspiration for the day.

    Thank you @futuredrbri ❣️
    Me too, actually. But I have learned the easiest time to correct is right away! (Much of it is water AND I’m not as hungry because I just ate more than usual!)

    I’m glad I can be of help, especially for you, as this challenge is JUST what I need right now.

    What helps me the most: big breakfast (about 1/3+ of my daily calories.)

    And raw, unsalted nuts when I’m truly hungry but almost out of calories for the day.

    Walking- daily

    Water. Water. Water...
