    @Cchassee When I started keto these 3 lines (minus “to feeling satisfied“) were among the first things I was told. “Fat is the lever” by itself didn’t make sense to me. I’ve read those 3 lines in several places since then and finally “got it.”

    I love bacon and pork belly! I need to go back to what I did when I started this keto journey in 2017. Bacon and cheddar were my mainstays.

    • Thu 02/22🟩176.5;-.9lbs
      ~ I weighed in a little later then normal so I’m not sure if this was an honest reading of the scale I’m starting to wonder if I will make my mini goal weight of 175 🤨 I do believe I’m walking less then usual. I will make it a point to walk 3 miles on Sat/Sun and 2 miles on MTWThF NO MATTER WHAT!
    • Wed 02/21🟥177.4;+0.6bs
      ~ Post TMI: 176.5
      ~ Maybe I should’ve logged ahead and then maybe I would have had only one hot Italian sausage not two. I was definitely under calorie and carb but I am low on groceries and my day was filled with what I had on hand; low carb bread and sodium filled sausages and sandwich meats and cheeses. (1000+ over my sodium goal for the day)
      ~ “We will encounter many defeats but we must not BE defeated!”
    • Tue 02/20🟩176.8;-0.4lbs
      ~ I’m just realizing that this round ends on a Sunday and that should really help me behave this coming Saturday.
      ~ Woke up on the “glass half full side” of the bed.. lol
      Happy Check-point Day everyone !!
    • Mon 02/19🟥177.2;-1.3lbs
      ~ I had my one night of drinking with my husband on Sat night. We shared two pitchers of Michelob ultra. The scale went up a bit for that reason. I quickly recovered into Sunday and drank a toooon of water to help contend with the post-drinking munchies I still ate low carb throughout the weekend and didn’t go off the rails late that night, as I normally would have. I forced myself to go to bed with a couple of Melatonin gummies. I can never sleep well when I drink too much.
    • Sun 02/18🟥178.5;+.4lbs
      ~ Ok ok.. so I did not do perfectly yesterday. But I’ll complete a report of my entire weekend when I weigh in on Monday!
    • Sat 02/17🟥178.1;+1.8lbs
      ~ I wish I would have pre-logged yesterday. Taking the rice out of the left over Home chef meal did NOT make it low carb! If I was in Ketosis I’m probably not anymore! It is a new day and the first thing I did upon opening my little eyeballs(besides putting in my contacts and brushing my teeth) was drink my 40 oz cup of water and get on the treadmill! I really don’t want to [insert in bold!!]WILL NOT!! Self-sabotage this weekend.
    • Fri 02/16🟩176.3;-.7lbs
      ~ I have been snacking on the zero sugar candies my husband gave me for Valentine’s Day… but only 4 pieces at a time and I’ll eat them with a Tbs of JIF no sugar peanut butter. It hit the spot but it is the only processed food “splurge” I’ve been having lately. So the sale made sense today!
    • SW: 177
      ~ Continuing on with my same plan

    @SheilaBoneham

    Exercises daily--while watching TV at night is a good time. With shoes off, feet in front of you, write the alphabet with your toes. With stretchy band or towel under your toes, point then flex your toes.
    Salon pas. 1/2 patch on each foot at least 1 hour before bedtime. Aspercreme or Sportscreme.(same thing, different package)
    I've heard soak feet in Epsom salts or dissolve Epsom salts in boiling water, let it cool and put it in a spray bottle and spray on feet. That never helped me, but I take magnesium daily, so I might not need it.

    I'm Crystal! Started OMAD on Feb 5th. I eat my 1 meal at dinner time, anywhere between 5:30-7 pm. Allow myself a dessert an hr later, give or take and that is it until dinner time the next day. (Aside from coffee, which I refuse to give up in the mornings). Still following my macro goals as well. Looking forward to reading everyone's stories and tips/goals! ❤️

    02/23 -178.0- (Trend weight 180.4) The Bloat from Monday’s travel is now officially gone, plus some. Goodbye and Good Riddance! I’m extra hungry already today likely due to the whoosh. Can I keep it clean and to plan for the weekend? Fingers crossed.

    HW: 194.7 (88.3 kg) April 25, 2020
    SW WT RND 247: 180.6 (81.9 kg)
    END WT RND 247: 177.4 (80.5 kg)
    END WT RND 248: 175.1 (79.4 kg)
    END WT RND 249: 173.4 (78.7 kg)
    END WT RND 250: 170.6 (77.4 kg)

    2/16- 171.1 Starting with a swing up, darn it. Trend weight is still going down though.
    2/17- 170.5 I would love to finally drop under 170. Gotta trust the process. Heavy dinner tonight, so we'll see what tomorrow brings.
    2/18- 170.8 I'll take it.
    2/19 171.1 Started reading last night and went to bed late
    2/20 170.6 (77.4 kg) Good day today. Keep on keeping on. Trying not to let impatience creep in.
    2/21-169.5 (76.9 kg) Finally under 170 and 5kgs down! Even if I fluctuate, I know I'll see this number again and new lows.
    2/22- 169.5 Really light lunch today, had pizza for dinner tonight. I think tomorrow will be crockpot white chicken chili.
    2/23- 168.6 I went over by about 250 calories, which still leaves me with a small deficit. Did I need to go over? No. Do I regret it? Not really. I think I could have lessened my deficit by skipping the hundred calorie brownie bite at lunch because I had other indulgences (work celebration for a colleague), and I'm feeling a bit fuller than I need to be, but I didn't feel deprived and I didn't overeat. Lots of high sodium stuff today though. Ate more sugar too because my energy was lagging, so something to be mindful of.

    2024- 200.4

    I’ve been slowly gaining 10lbs a year over the last few years. This challenge helped me stay focused in the past.

    2/16- 194.4
    2/17- 194.4
    2/18- 194.8
    2/19- 195.4

    2/21- 194.8
    2/22- 195.2
    2/23- 194.6
    2/24- 195.6 over on calories but still mostly made good decisions yesterday. I’m going to be ending on a high as today has a big late dinner and drinks with friends. I’m not here in this world to not indulge and enjoy. I just need to be mindful.

    @Corina1143 Thank you! I do regularly exercise my feet as you describe, but I haven’t tried Salon pas—I’ll get some today! I do take liposomal magnesium daily (which stopped my foot and leg cramps), and I used a Dr. Scholl’s foot cream with magnesium. I’ve tried Aspercreme in the past with minimal results, but that was for something else so might be worth a shot. I appreciate the suggestions!

    @deepwoodslady Thanks for the links—I just read them (and reread a couple I’ve read before 😊). The only potential risk factor I have is possible B12 and/or folate deficiency. I do take a B12 supplement, but I’m a little sporadic so I’m going to be more mindful of that.

    02/24 -178.4- (Trend weight 180.2) A bit of a swing up today which is disappointing but I’m not totally surprised. I got very hungry very late last night and when a handful of almonds didn’t do the trick I made a healthy low cal / low carb sandwich. It put me over on my macros and was too close to bed. But I’m very proud that I didn’t find “off plan” food to fill my belly. Today I am eating the same things I ate yesterday as I have leftovers for lunch and then a whole other leftover dish of another type for dinner. I will try to change my eat times later and hope I won’t need another sandwich tonight! I just want to get rid of those on-plan leftovers! Today I am right at my starting weight for the round. Since my goal is to lose any amount, if I can manage without that sandwich tonight, I should be able to make goal. Toes crossed!

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
