GW-199
Hello, I'm really hoping someone can offer me a bit of advice because I've been struggling. I have been on a 30 carb keto diet since July 1st, and have not had a single cheat, but the carb cravings have never gone away. Sometimes i lay in bed for hours, simply fantasizing about cereal. When i first started this diet, I was told the cravings would go away after 2-3 days, but it's been 22 days and they seem to be getting worse. I've been losing weight on this diet (i'm not weighing myself for the first time until aug. 1st) and I know this because my clothes are all too big now, but I still feel like I'm doing something wrong. I made my diary public if anyone wants to take a look.
Please help!
When I get a craving I eat it (but a small amount). I’d recommend getting up and having 1/4 cup of cereal with 1/4 cup of almond or low fat milk and be done with it. Your body could be craving a nutrient. I focus on calories, slight redux in carbs and try to reduce sugar. You should find an eating habit that works for you longer term....my 2c.

So I weighed in this morning at 199.4! Have not seen a "1" anything in a while! But as we all know the first time usually doesn't stick , meaning Ill probably see between 199-202 for the next couple of weeks. Can't wait until I am well into the 1's.
But I am happy to see it nonetheless.13 -
At the start of July, 240.8.
This morning, 234.6.
So basically 6 pounds lost this month which is pretty solid. Wish it would come off faster but if I eat any less I will feel like crap.
Probably not making 200 by Christmas, but should be around 210 at least, and under 200 by my birthday in February.
I've started taking B12 again. Hope it helps this infernal dizziness.6 -
Well, I started this month off at 224.4, and my goal was to reach 219 or below. It was a hard month full of traveling and setbacks. I started to think that I wasn’t going to reach it. My body has a weird habit of seeing no losses, even gains, and then suddenly, it’ll have a spike in losses. That happened this week. Today I weighed in at 218.6. I reached another goal. I am now down 20.4lbs total, as I started at 239lbs in May. I am SO happy to reach this milestone. I am traveling again soon, which will probably make me gain a little, but only temporarily.😊6

Do you check your ketones? If my carbs are too low, my ketones go up to “seek medical attention” levels and all I think about is bread ;-). For me, I need to be between 50-80 carbs to maintain the right level of ketones.
I’m inadvertently keto, though. A recent bout of strep and pneumonia threw my system completely out of whack and my blood glucose went from fine to crazy within a couple days. Apparently the carb level my body needs for blood glucose stabilization is keto. However, since my carb level is a bit higher to maintain a safe level of ketones, I can have a slice of toast now and then because veggies aren’t always enough to hit my 50 carb minimum!

GW: 185
Goals for the month of July:
Log every day - including water!
Get minimum 10,000 steps a day
Lose 10 lbs
Restarted MFP 30 days ago after a break of 14 months where I gained 50 pounds. Sigh... Further proof to stick with it if you want to meet your goals.
So here we are not quite at the end of July and how did I do?
Log every day - Nailed it! - 100% of goal
Including Water: logged water 24 out of 29 days. 83% of goal
Get minimum 10,000 steps a day - 19 out of 29 days. 65 % of goal
6.5 lbs lost - 65% of goal
Average score: 77%
Overall a good month, but there is definitely room for improvement!

Here's to hoping July is better than June. I did manage to lose 2.6lbs, but I felt like the whole month was me losing the same 3-5lbs over and over again. I did, however, start a 30 day body weight challenge and am on day 4. I'm sore as heck (and think that might be part of the reason why I've "gained" 3lbs in as many days).
Goals for the Month:
Exercise 5 days a week
Stop snacking
Lose 5lbs
Well, I exercised for a little more than half the month. I stopped using the treadmill for a bit cause I got lazy. I've done well weight wise and am currently down 3.2lbs this month, but I have a feeling I'll get to the 205.0 mark to whilst my goal for this month by the 31st. Today I started the keto thing. I've got all meals planned and almost all logged for the next 2 weeks (except weekends. Weekends are hard) I've tried keto in the past and did sorta okay with it but I didn't try too hard. I told myself I'd give it 2 weeks and see how I do and go from there. I know 2 weeks isn't enough time to see much of a difference, but Itll give me a sense if I want to try this long term or not. I plan on keeping up the treadmill use too. Hopefully that will give me a boost. Feel free to add me! I'll see ya in thales august group!2 -

Great work for July and I love the percentages idea. I might have to steal this!
