    Not sure what happened, but scale went up into 154’s.

    Getting my head back in the game.

    The same thing happened with me. I think my fruit, nuts, seeds and dairy (that I fail to measure accurately) sabotaged me.

    I'm going to have to work harder now. I believe the closer I get to 145 goal the harder it will be ugh!

    Same for me. I was losing it pretty fast at first but now the loss is getting harder. Years ago I always got stuck at 130. Now that I am older (50), I am stalling at 150!!!

    Eekkk so close. Can't believe how close I am now. Very proud of my journey and how I'm working my way into numbers I've never seen. Happy Sunday everyone, here's to another week of accomplishments!

    Close enough to taste! Everyone is doing so well that we will have to change the name of the thread soon.

    Welcome, Five Points!

    Thanks! What happens when we get under 150? Everyone seems to be getting close.

    Argh, scale has shot up and I'm weighing in at 160 today 😿 sucks, I hope it's temporary!

    158.2 today, back in the game 😉

    And today....161.4! Hasta la vista, I'll be back! Gah.

    Do you have the Happy Scale App? It really helps me to stay motivated with the ups and downs. It seems like I have to weigh in at a certain weight for 4,5, or 6 times before it seems to stick. But sometimes the ups are really really up (6 to 8lbs). Anyway, that might help your peace of mind some.

    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!

    Britt, that's about where I have landed. Keto is too strict for me because I need some occasional grains, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, and dairy!

    @Fivepts
    I’ve been noticing my heart rate is much lower on my walk/hikes. The good news: I’m fit. The bad news: I have even fewer calories to “spend.”

    Also I was eating out. Fiber was down, Sodium WAY up. Sugars level but from sugar not fruit & milk...

    I’ve realized that my appetite, much to my surprise, is triggered by salt. Not sugar.

    I’ve stopped eating out, Sodium is low again, Fiber is back super high again (makes me feel more satiety I think), & my calorie tracking is accurate NOT a guess.

    I have a 33 day window with no eating out etc, so I’m tracking all, and will be able to lose some & figure out my an accurate, current TDEE for myself.

    Best of luck to you! I figure this is all practice for maintenance & I’ll have to track & keep a careful eye even then, so no real rush!! :)

    I will have to pay attention to salt triggering me. I don't think so at this point.

    I ran 11 miles this past week and took a ten mile walk yesterday. I hurt my neck so I did a lot of cardio instead of strength training. It’s feeling all better so I’ll be back to it tomorrow!

    Hi Susan,
    I, for one, am under one day and above the next so hopefully, we can all keep moving in a downward direction and change the name to getting below 140!
    We have pretty much the same WOE.

    I would love to join! I have been in the 150's for months now and can not seem to get out of them. I circle between 150, 151, and 152 for the last 3 to 4 weeks and is so frustrating. My weigh in days are Monday. They are my highest days and would love for my highest day of the week to be well in the 140's by May!

    4/1 - 152.6
