Taking a road trip to my nephew's hockey game tomorrow. We'll only be gone overnight so I should be able to avoid temptations. Though this city has ton more gluten free options (I'm celiac) than my rural area so I will need to practice restraint.1

I can’t believe it’s Friday. This week has gone by fast for some reason. Feeling good. Been on the bike 4 days in a row so that’s a win. Food has been good. My cals are low the days I eat OMAD which I was going to do today but between not taking out enough ground beef ( it was burger night) and feeling a bit hungry a couple hours before so I decided to have a tuna devilled egg ( which by the way are amazing ) and that brought up my cals a bit and I enjoyed my burger at dinner. Oh yeah scale didn’t move this morning. Until tomoorw.1

Finally lost 50 pounds! I know tomorrow I will be back up there but for today...I am happy. Six and half months, lost 50 pounds. Less than 15 more to get to goal by my birthday in Sept. Which as long as I stick to the plan, shall be achieved! KCKO!!4

Survived the trip. Grabbed a low carb Chipotle bowl before Friday night's game. Saturday I had eggs and bacon and some berries at the hotel breakfast. We took our nephew to Jungle Jim's which is huge so I at least got some good walking time in. Lunch was a challenge. We went to the Melting Pot between games. I had mostly veggies with cheese and the meats, but I did get a little carried away with the gluten free brownies and chocolate course. Afterward I was back on track and stuck to cheese whisps, a chomps sugar free beef stick, and some coffee and cream for "dinner" in the car home. Wound up with a pretty bad migraine yesterday so I didn't eat much but stayed low carb.2

Amazing! Onward after those 15!1 -
scale still dumb. Hoping after the hormone sitch sorts itself it will cooperate. I did the right things this weekend to ensure that. Just gotta KCKO.
Do need to figure out how to get my workout in today. The kids have a thing disrupting my schedule. But I'll make it work.1 -
Up .5 today so I went thru my closet an threw out all the clothes that are too big for me now. I’m still going in the right direction.3

No movement on the scale today. I did only eat 4g of carbs! Feeling good2
-
well the pogo stick ride continues. I'm back down to my postpandemic low again finally. For how long, who can tell.

I'm not seeing much scale progress but years ago when I first started keto I think it was 3 weeks before I lost anything. I'm not sure why I don't get the whoosh of water weight other people do when they start low carb but it seems I'm immune. lol...at any rate I'm in week 3 now so I'm getting adapted to it. I have another weekend trip coming Friday to a good eating town so I'll have to be on guard.1

Scale, I hate your face. Even though I know you don't have one, I hate it anyway. One day you may find yourself at the bottom of a lake.
So, y'all can guess what happened.

OMAD today. Feel good. Leaving in the morning to visit Mom in sunny Arizona. I live in a dream land I know but I’m hoping the snow is gone when I’m back 😜. Is it obsessive that I want to pack my scale with me? (I’m not talking about the food scale)0

Maybe a tad obsessive but all of us here feel you for sure! We work so hard and want to make sure we stay on track. Because even though we know it doesn't work this way, we want all our excess weight gone YESTERDAY. And we want it to hurry. We don't want to have to back track.
But you got this. And enjoy Arizona for us!1 -

Well as Roger Rabbit said "If you ain't got a sense of humor, you're better off dead." Gotta try to find some levity when things REPETITIVELY don't go as they should.
This flub does not belong. Go away. k thanks bye.
It will eventually. I'm too stubborn this time to be outlasted.1 -
Well then. 174.6. New post-covid low. Focusing on keeping it this weekend. Eyes on the prize4

Arizona trip going great! Mom has an ancient dial scale that I can hardly read. I won’t be updating my weight but I have a baseline starting weight that I can use to kind of monitor and satisfy my need to step on the darn thing every day! Omad the last two days. Feel great. Tomorrow I may have a ballpark dog ( minus the bun ). Kind of against my ‘ban on processed food’ but We shall see how I feel and we are planning a steak house dinner out. Will be easy to stay on track there i think.2

that's fantastic!
174.4 this morning. I'll take it while I get it. Good on-plan weekend even with a lc dessert Sat.
Heading to a park with a nice path in a few before weather turns in the next couple days2 -
Just checking in. Yummy food day. I surprise myself daily vacationing what I can say no to and not feel like I’m missing a thing!0 -
scale bounce yet again. This is going to be the longest 10lb in history.
No option but to KCKO but man, it's annoying
2 -
I get your angst @baconslave I "gained" a pound over night. Wracking my brain trying to figure out why, but nothing leaps out at me. Just have to KCKO but yeah, very annoying! Cyber hugs!1

Wow... actually found a thread on keto... it's been 17 days that I'm on keto... successfully maintaining ketosis that I confirm with the strips... but I feel I'm not losing weight like I previously did, inspite of consuming sufficient fats, not too much at the same time... and drinking atleast 3 litres of water...
What else can I do... its so depressing..0 -
@Stefbomb2020 I have the same issue quitting and hopping back on. I'm just staying the course! Hang in there and welcome!
I'm back from my weekend trip. I did have some minor indulgences but overall I'm proud of how I did. I have celiac disease so there are a lot of items I just don't ever encounter gluten free unless I travel. Asheville, NC is very, very gluten free friendly so you see a lot of things there you won't see offered anywhere else gluten free. So I carefully weighed my options and decided tiramisu and fried calamari were the two things I really needed to take advantage of so I made those work. There were so many amazing things I had to say no to however LOL....anyhow I'm up almost 3 lb. but I'm not too stressed as I think it's water. I'm just KCKO.0 -

I was the same way. I ate Keto back in 2017 and lost a good amount of weight each week. This time around, not as much. Maybe because I'm older? Who knows. But I'm still loosing, just not as fast. Just need to stick with it. It sounds like you are doing everything right. Our bodies are weird. Good luck! Keep at it!0 -
Last day tomorrow in sunny Arizona and eating out almost every evening. Flying home to my scales lol. Food scale and the scale I’ve been having withdrawals over lol. Hoping to be down 2 lbs. I think I have done pretty good. Anyway just checking in.0

Back down to my pre-weekend weight so yay!1

I def think the age factors. I've mentioned this before but now that I'm in my 40s, I hold onto water for dear life, so it seems like I'm not losing anything sometimes for weeks or up to a month and then I'll finally let it go. For it to bounce around like an idiot. But the overall trend over time IS downward. Just have to KCKO and be patient which is soooo hard for me.
When the scale is a moron, we have to look to other measures. Joints feeling better? Feeling lighter? More energy? Clothes fitting better? Measurements going down? If we are doing all the things, really doing all of them, the scale eventually has no alternative but to cooperate. But sometimes it takes its own sweet time no matter how much we feel like raging at it. It will do what it will do.
