    I adjusted my macros a bit, dropping it from 5/25/70 down to 5/20/75 & made sure to get my water in for the last few days. I went back to look at yesterdays menu and really the only thing different was I ate pork rinds for the first time. lol.

    I honestly think I am just past that period that I've read about P.I.S.S where you're body is adjusting from burning carbs to burning fat for fuel and you stall for a bit. at least I hope I'm past it now.

    I was starting to think I would never get below the number that kept popping up on the scale but to be over a pound below it today was so crazy. I kept getting off & back on the scale in case i made a mistake. llol

    AWESOME!!! Congrats, you totally deserve it!

    Now this is gonna sound silly, but now is a perfect time to put a little sign on the wall in front of your scale which says 'Remember the whoosh!' This way the next time you're in a stall you will look up and see that sign and get the confidence that you'll get the same feeling as you have today as soon as your body adjusts downwards again.

    Victory feels good, though, doesn't it? :-)

    Congrats! More than half of human body weight is water and can impact the weight more than fat or muscle mass. You might be losing fat and gaining water, till the water weight comes off.

    Well my body is playing some serious mind games with me!! I am back up again!! I don't get it!! My eating is spot on, I even did some walking yesterday and I still gained today and yesterday. According to my ketone meter I am in ketosis (low end at 0.8 but still in) so I don't understand.

    I read on the Facebook reddit keto group that I should drop my protein even more. I've had it at 20% for the last few days. If I drop it to 15 and carbs are 5 what will I get to eat?? Other than avocados and mayo???

    3 Weeks is no a stall :)

    I've stalled twice and both were about 3 months each. Don't fret about it is all you can do.

    I've found this article of help to get my mind around that horrible feeling while in a stall
    http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/of-whooshes-and-squishy-fat.html

    Do you have that lumpy fat? I know I do and that just spurs me on! :)
