I had a couple of good days and the scale is slowly creeping down but not back to where I was a week or so ago. I’m trying to stay hydrated but haven’t had as much water as I should. I’ve done well with eating when hungry the last two days but a trend, this is not. I’ll keep at it.2 -

Getting there....
I'm just saying no, and refocusing, when my reptile brain says "how 'bout a lil snack" at 11pm.
A month unemployed, but I went thru the first assessment for a Canada Post job (GREAT pay, benefits, good hours) so I'm hoping to hear more...and in the meantime I am back working on call with the security company I used to work for 15 months ago.
Drinking my water
not logging food though - UGH! I loathe logging after a few years of doing it regularly.
I hear ya!
Good luck on the Post job!0 -
Well another LC Saturday in the books. I for sure am still eating a bit too much after adult beverages so I need next week to plan a munchy snacking and pre-portion it before I have the drinks.
But again I consider yesterday a win b/c I stayed LC. Getting this habit solid. Today shall be perfectly on track.

Sorry I haven't been around or posted in awhile ... between foot pain and headaches I haven't done much ...my GP Dr isn't a fan of keto and told me he doesn't want me on it but didn't give me a great explanation ... I usually listen to him but this is one area that I will not be.... I will be re-starting my keto journey in February... I would like to see what I can do in 6 months on strict keto ..the re-evaluate and possibly go low carb4

Hi! I'm Mary from Pennsylvania.
Back again! Will post weight on Sundays. Sticking with what has been working for me since 5/14/21. 1000-1200 calories/day,
Net Carbs15 +/- 3 grams(some days actually less), 70+ oz water/day, only 2 meals/day on non work days (I work 4 days/week) and exercise on my non work days (as I work long days).
UGW-122 lbs
Oct goal was 10 lbs Almost made it!, loss -9.6 lbs
Nov goal was 5 lbs Made it, loss -5.6 lbs!
Dec goal is also 5 lbs, loss so far -5.4 lbs! Made my goal!
9/14/20-255 lbs Highest weight twice :-(
5/3/21-240.5 lbs
6/1/21-228.8 lbs
7/1/21-222.2 lbs
8/1/21-212.0 lbs
9/1/21-200.0 lbs
10/1/21-191.4 lbs
11/1/21-181.8 lbs
12/1/21-176.2 lbs
12/26/21-165.6 lbs
12/31/21-168 lbs
Went out to Texas Roadhouse on on 12/28, behaved except for a few of their rolls (remind me of my Grandma's homemade bread) so I'm sure its water weight from Sodium.
My January goal is 5 lbs and continue with my diet and exercise up above, that is working great for me. I did 240 minutes on my Elliptical yesterday and today for 16.5 & 16.55 miles.
1/2/22-168 lbs Still sure it's water weight. And having Pork & Sauerkraut for New Years isn't helping. It will drop eventually.
1/9/22-164.6 lbs. :-) Water weight was finally gone yesterday after a week+ and then a drop today to my lowest weight in 6-7 years!!!! Did 244 minutes on my Elliptical for 17.1 miles.
1/16/22-162 lbs :-) Did 253 minutes for 16 miles on my Elliptical.
1/23/22-164.2 lbs. :-( My own fault. A weak moment a couple days ago and ate a couple donuts someone brought into work, that I have had in the past and know to be exceptional donuts. Best I have ever had in my life! Yes, I'm human. Flaws and all. Also maybe some water retention due to working very long hours and not getting my usual amount of water or sleep. Did 269 minutes on my Elliptical today for 18 miles. Yes, I'm still doing around 4+ hours on it, three times per week, on my days off.
January loss -3.8 lbs of my 5 lb January goal :-(
Down 90.8 lbs of my 132 lb goal to lose!
Fat percentage on my scale(even though they aren't that accurate) is now moderate instead of high. Normal is next!

Well, I blew it yesterday. I didn't have to, but I lost control. I expect to see my weight to climb for a bit but today, back at it. No more games, we lost. But also, no more excuses. Today is a new day, and I know what to do. Have a great day!

1/18-1/22 No workouts, no tracking but food was good, water was good
1/23/22 60 min bowling, still didn't log, water 8 glasses
I was still sick most of the week. Luckily my meal plan held up. I think my sinuses will cooperate enough for a strength workout at lunch.
My work fitness center had a water challenge and I couldn't bring myself to join, I really hate drinking water in the winter. The coach tried asking me to keep a jug on my desk and drink a certain amount each hour. That just didn't appeal to me. BUT... I started drinking hot water to help get over this cold and that was tolerable. Then I added lemon juice to it and found that was even better. I've had cold lemon water in the summer but for some reason my brain didn't put two and two together. Sinus fog maybe? Anyway, I should have joined the stinking challenge to win a prize LOL.
@NYPhotographer2021 You're doing great. Once the weather warms up maybe we could meet up in Lake George for a walk 😊2 -
@NYPhotographer2021
Total cholesterol can increase during weight loss, and that's not typically improved with dietary changes because the test doesn't differentiate between fat circulating for your shrinking body vs normal cholesterol...maybe see if the Dr will consider just an LDL test?
just food for thought

@tishsmith101 That would be great! Lake George is so beautiful. I love it there!
@tcunbeliever Thanks for the link! I am unsure if my doctor will consider a different test as they are more expensive I believe? But I will bring it up to him. I've been trying this past week. I've replaced sodium with cholesterol in my food diary and trying to keep it below 300. I'm getting used to egg whites! LOL! I really don't want to have to go back on the statins. But I will. I feel better now than I have had before eating low carb/keto. Probably only indigestion before, but it was unnerving to have chest pains. I was hospitalized a few years ago, and they found no evidence of any blockages. But it's always on the back of my mind. I guess I will know in July at my next appointment. Thanks again!1 -

Had a great weekend diet-wise. Scale up even more. Back up to 183 this a.m., and I have no idea. I went back and logged what I ate Saturday. Wasn't as bad as I thought. Carbs were on-point. Cals were highish, but that's why I eat less during the week to offset. So what the scale is doing makes no sense.
Anyway, back to workouts and lower cal meals for the week and hoping I will soon see the scale cooperate.

Another good day in the books but I did eat some chips my saboteur offered up. Otherwise I’m trying to tune in to hunger signals although today I’m feeling bored or just blah and want to snack but have held off. The scale ticked down a smidge so I’m wondering- did I really put on 3 pounds or am I doing a bit of body recomp with the weights I’m lifting. Guess measurements 5 weeks ago when I started would have been smart! Oh well, let’s see where this goes.2 -
@baconslave Yes, my scale usually makes no sense to me either. I am past having to deal with monthly periods. Although I do know what caused my uptick this time. The Bills/Chiefs game! Grrr! But usually, I am pretty consistent with my foods per day, so who knows why it goes up, down, all around on a day to day basis.2

1/24/22 30 min strength, 30 min indoor bike, carbs 47, water 10 glasses
Finally starting to feel like myself again. Enlisted a far away friend to work out with me virtually once a week. She needed the motivation and I need the extra effort to get back to my routine. Definitely harder doing cardio after being sick. Holy cow 30 min felt like a two hour road ride.
Made breakfast for the week with a batch of keto PB choc chip muffins. Still need more protein though so adding a sausage patty or an egg each day.5 -

yeah I'm feeling this right now. I didn't do exhausting measurements. Just enough to estimate BF%. And now that the scale is messing, I wonder if there's recomp going on? But I won't know bc I didn't do it. *sigh*2 -

Scale went down but not all the way back to where I was... this site really really needs an eyeroll emoji.
Just doing the thing and steeling myself for what I suspect. My body is dumb, and I'm going to have to cut my calories even more to lose. Lame...
