    ME:
    31y * 5'9" * BMI:22,6 * Weight goal: 63kg (138,89lbs)

    Jan loss: - 2,3kg

    FEB GOALS
    • Minimal intake of sugar (<30grams/day)
    • Keep up 16h fasting and 1x36h every week
    • Have 2-3 adjacent keto days every week
    • No alcohol this month ("Tour Mineral") in Belgium
    • Get permanently below 70kg

    WEIGHT
    2 Feb: 70.3kg //As expected the dinner on Saturday seemingly ruined all my efforts of last week, even after allowing 2 very good days before weighing in to counter it, to no avail it seems. Can some scientist explain to me how I can eat at a deficit of -800 for 5 days, 1 day +500, another 2 days -800 and still gain weight?

    Jan EW:143.6

    Feb goal - hit 139

    1. Stay off sugar - Feb 14th is allowed as a cheat day.
    2. Stay Keto - broke down and bought a pretty cool cookbook with lots of simple meals. So far my guys love them...they still want dinner rolls and such, but I skip them.


    2/1 - 143.0
    2/2 - 143.6 - I stuck to keto yesterday but way overdid it.

    @l4a_p Figuring out some things to do a bit differently, actually doing a bit of reading this time around. I wasn't ever eating enough fat the last times, I'd just go low carb but still have too much protein. It doesn't seem to work for me to do it for a few days then have a cheat day. The strips were a complete waste, I'm getting one of the units that checks for ketosis using a drop of blood. I feel like then I can dial things in better. It helped buying a really good cookbook with SIMPLE FAST meals - last night was scallops with bacon cream sauce.

    Hi - hope it's ok for me to join in this one? I've not done one of these before despite being on MFP for years!

    41
    167cm
    CW: 72kg
    GW: 63kg

    This month I'm working on being moderately active, also limiting my sugars (which includes bread) to see if that helps get me through.

    I'll be stoked if I get to the end of the month at 70kg (which is neeeeeearly into healthy BMI for me) but realistically I'll take 71 given my recent loss rate. Losing slow and hoping to avoid the massive bounce back when I shift to maintenance.

    Hm interesting. So the strips simply don't work? Yeah it's important to have way more fat than protein on keto days.

    Yesterday was perfect. I'm going to try to repeat that for today.
    I have to say, I'm disappointed that I'm up 4# but I know how to lose weight.
    I've done it before and I can do it again. I am glad that its only a small 4#.
    as hard as that may end up being......

    I still need to Pre-log foods today to set myself up for success.

    2/3 - 107.4

    @cayenne_007 - OMG hormones are the death aren't they!?!?!? the bloating and cramps....even a couple days after they are gone...the body is still holding on to so much water..... the older I get, the more I notice it. It could just be that I'm in tune with my body more though. You should look up some Keto approved Feb. 14th ideas....it could be a new way to celebrate!
