Logging ✅✅✅✅
This logging thing is really forcing me to examine my food and ..ahem...adult beverage intake. I’m really interested in seeing my Monday weigh-in.
Edited to add May 5th. It’d be nice if I could keep track of the date.4 -

WOE is short for “ way of eating”. Lots of acronyms on MFP (lol)
Welcome!

5/5-5/6
I had a couple of good days with regards to calories and carbs. I had to fight hubs one day to not eat poorly after dinner then had to fight my own cravings last night but I conquered. I weighed in yesterday and am still within that 4 pound swing so I need to get past this little plateau to move downwards a bit.5 -

A great day!
Cals, carbs, exercise, logging ✅
Now, if only the scale would bend to my will....4 -
Two more good days with cals, carbs and protein, waiting for the scale to bend to my will too! More NEAT yesterday and today as well. Time to meal plan for next week. Spin class set for Sunday morning.

My scale finally surrendered! Down into the next decade. Yay!
It took me 5 weeks to lose 3.6 lbs. I really need to up my game. In February, my weight trend app predicted I’d hit goal (normal BMI, then reassess) in July. Now it’s pushed to October. NOT COOL, Happy Scale.3 -
5/8: 4th day of logging streak.
Went out to dinner unexpectedly, but logged anyway (estimate):
122 g net carbs, 85 g protein.5 -

5/8-5/9= a bit of a flop...
Dinner with the in laws means drinks to survive plus some carby stuff since they don’t watch what they eat at all so I knew that would be a flex day. Sunday I was over I calories as I took the day off from exercise. I did eat way less trying for balance but carbs were higher than I needed. Back at it today because the scale is balking when I stepped on this morning.4 -
New to a low carb plan, hoping to get some great ideas! Thank you

Haha I hear you on the in laws thing. Thank goodness they’re in New Zealand or my liver would have exploded years ago

Happy Mother’s Day! 🌷🌸🍾
Ate too much, drank too much but the weather was glorious and life was grand. Spent the day wandering in the park near our house where there are three castles and a winery overlooking the river. Back to it today!3 -
Full week recommitted and scale down 3. Had strength training at lunch today and signed up for spin on Wed again. Did my meal planning and some keto baking.5
