Still about a pound up from my pandemic low...why?
I'll just blame solar flares or whatever. KCKO.1 -
I too am having some bouncing on the scales. As above since I turned 40 things aren't so easy with the water weight. Also I had a hysterectomy 4 months ago but kept my ovaries, however they still can apparently act up due to the trauma. Also I see a lot of other people having issues with intense swelling with activity for a year or so post op so I'm just trying to KCKO. I do feel less bloated for sure.0

I thought I checked in already this morning. Apparently didn’t post. Down 1 from the week away. That’s a win for sure. Good to be home.1

Hope it’s ok that I joined this group. Not new to MFP but haven’t used it in awhile. I have been doing Keto since October 2021. I was actually Carnivore from October-January and then switched to Keto in February. I have always had a hard time losing weight and Carnivore/Keto has been the 1 thing that has worked for me.
I’m starting back at it today after taking a 2 week break. Gained 1 lb back while on that break but I don’t think that is too terrible. My new goal is to lose 5 lbs in April.1 -
@Andie_815 welcome! 1 lb. gain isn't bad at all for 2 weeks off! Sounds like you've found a nice balance that works for you.3

Welcome any time!
Yeah only 1lb is great after a break0 -
Hello, this is the first time I have used this, I just posted a question on how to reply, lol. Now I see this is how. Didn't pop up before. Is it true, if you don't have too much weight to lose, you will lose it slower, EVEN on Keto?0

I'm signing off for now. I need to download App on my phone.... going for a RALK, run walk combo lol

So I've been busy with fam stuff. Children are time thieves for sure.
I hit my new pandemic low Sat and then due to some refried beans in date night takeout and surprise carbs in inlaw food I'm back up almost 2lb today. Most of that is def whatever so I just have to wait for nature to take its course. I hadn't had that takeout in 2 years or a date night so I'm allowed.
Anyway, KCKOing
more busy kid nonsense this evening, but I'll shift my workout plans so I can make it happen2 -

I think it’s common the lbs to drop more slowly for people close to their goal weight. I still have many to go so I’m hoping to keep dropping at the pace I am!!

Checking in this morning. I’m on a staycation this week with my kids since they are on spring break. It’s definitely been a rough start and it’s only Tuesday. Since I am the only one in my house that is Keto, the snacks are driving me crazy haha. I did go shopping last night to replenish my food/snacks but it’s definitely much easier to stay focused when I am at work.
I am taking my boys out for lunch then for frozen yogurt after. I will not be having the frozen yogurt so I am bringing lots of water with me.2 -
bouncy bouncy. Back down a pound. Hoping it will go back down further soon.
My shoulder is being hateful in response to the pushups and bodyweight rows I did yesterday. Off to finish my lc breakfast wrap (at 3pm
) and take a nice long yardhike

Checking in. OMAD a today. Feeling good. Scale back in the right direction today.3

My weight is up today. I'm getting frustrated but not giving up. I guess I just have to be patient with my body as it's been through some stuff....Overall I do feel better low carb so that's something to embrace.2
-
Busy kiddo stuff been going on and bouncy scale. To be rewarded by a drop this a.m.
173.6, new pandemic low! Of course it will bounce up tomorrow or something. But today I will be proud of my consistent efforts to KCKO. I actually met my weight goal this month for the first time since January.3 -
It’s not something. It’s the most important thing! The scale will come around.My weight is up today. I'm getting frustrated but not giving up. I guess I just have to be patient with my body as it's been through some stuff....Overall I do feel better low carb so that's something to embrace.

Another good OMAD day.2

Def April Fools Day because my scale gave me another new low today, that it will yank out from under me tomorrow so...I'm wise to you, machine.
173.2
And it's turned chilly again after being in the 70s. So 50s feels very cold. Brrrr.
Anyway, KCKO3 -
I’m home sick today. I think it’s just my RA acting up where we went from summer whether to snow pretty much overnight! Anyhow taking it easy and resting. Eating on plan!3

Aw. I hope you feel better pdq.
In other news, the Great Baconini's prediction was correct. Up a lb today.
Anyway, I'll be focusing on keeping my intake reasonable today. KCKO3 -
I was up .5 today too.1

I had a pretty good week last week. Down 3 early in the week and up and down .5 for the last 3 days. Feeling pretty good l great in fact. I used to not even enjoy walking the dog my back aches so much. If I didn’t lost another lb it’s a win just how I am feeling. One issue is some leg cramps I get once in a while. I need to do some research and see if it’s something I’m ‘missing’ potassium or magnesium or something like that I think I saw before? I see a lot of keto folks supplement in the keto sub Reddit I follow. Anyone supplement or do you find you get what you need from whole food?1

I will occasionally use some electrolyte stuff I got on Amazon called Lyteshow, it has salt, magnesium, and potassium but not in very high amounts. Mainly I try to just use more salt or will have a cup of broth for a snack if I'm feeling off. I have used magnesium supplements but I'm sort of bad about remembering to take it. I am hesitant to take potassium because too much can be dangerous and I've had family members get sick taking supplements for it. That's just me though, I know tons of people use it and are fine. I think if you google Keto-ade there are recipes for electrolyte blends using the no-salt seasonings which contain potassium and some other items.2 -
I take a mag supplement and make my own ketoade daily (salt, NuSalt, and water flavoring). I also do probiotics for gut health and take collagen since I'm getting older every minute.
Other than that I don't take any other supplements.
Forgot to weigh as I got a late start from poor sleep. Going to the park so the kids can get sunshine. They are 11 and 13 (the younger ones) and too old to go play outside for fun anymore apparently. So they won't stay outside unless forced. So here comes, mama.

Got some better sleep.
Weight is 173.2, so right at my new pandemic low.
Park was nice. The kids had a good time. And most importantly they moved and weren't on a screen.
Today is another warm nice day. But to get to that nice outdoor workout, I have to first take the 17-year-old to his dual enrollment class and read in the car. I do wish a walking trail were close or something. The whole point of me sitting around there is to conserve gas. But I have a book.
Anyway, off to KCKO.3 -
I'm really wishing I had kept some of my bigger jeans instead of donating them. I may have to invest in a pair of 16s. I have 14s, 12s and 10s. I didn't anticipate going back up, but that is exactly what I did. Not really sure why, but I know it's just water weight. I've been more hungry lately, so I have been eating more. But not more than my BMR. I really dislike reading that losing weight is dependent upon a calorie deficit only. That it doesn't matter what composition of macro calories are, as long as you are eating at a calorie deficit, you could eat all carbs if you wanted to. It does matter. I went from eating less than 30-40 grams of carbs/day to almost 100 and I gained. And I haven't gone back down. I did go down briefly, but back up again. Well, I'm just going to do my thing and KCKO and wait for my body to realize that carbs will not be forthcoming any time soon! Thinking about going full carnivore!2

Still stalled on the scale. Still soldiering on. I am having an RA flare so that could contribute. I did a Barre workout on the deck yesterday. That was my first real core focused workout since my hysterectomy but my abs feel okay today. Considering going to a chocolate festival this weekend. I don't think it will be too detrimental because they'll be lots of walking, samples are small, and most won't be gluten free so I can't eat much. I more just want to get out and do something fun and different. I just wish the weather wasn't going to be cold and yucky. I'm sure this up and down weather is what is making my joints so angry.3

Day 100! Started with .5 up on the scale again so there is that! It can only go up from here is not exactly the what I’m going for …on the scale anyway. The good news is I’m shrinking out of my clothes. The bad news is I had resigned to being the size I was so I bought some really nice clothes over the last couple years. ( plus gave away the stuff I’d grown out of) Basically brand new many of them since almost two years I’ve spent at home. Anyway may see a tailor about some of them. I’m down 43.5 and 26.5 to go. Trying a Mexican ground beef keto casserole tonight then our for a tea in the evening with a friend. That’s my day. That’s my check in.3

I'm here, still trying to dial into the program. So happy to see this thread revitalized. It was a great source of inspiration and motivation to me in the past. Sorely in need of that now, pals.
That's all I got for today. Back soon.2
