    This has nothing to do with diet, but this is the month I've decided to stop smoking. Today is my quit day. This thread will help to keep me accountable. That is my change for June to become smoke free :o

    This is the best gift you can give yourself. Stick with it, you will get through it :smile:

    I broke the ice with my first weight lifting session since March, and the first since starting LCHF. Started with previous deload weight and did shorter reps and sets. I was a shaky mass of jello when I was done, but feels good. lol.

    I've had almond flour, chocolate, and a couple slices of cooked onions. No reflux so far. I have had a LOAD of cheese, something I'd mostly avoided last month. I'm happy to say that, while my weight is up slightly (many factors, including sharking), my 'bouncing' mean has stayed below the latest mini-goal of 150!

    Also I tried tarragon and I don't like it. :P

    I'm going to give up liquor for the month of June. I usually have a drink or two on the weekends, but I'm really trying to reach a very important goal, and since drinking slows down burning fat until all the liquor is burned off, I'm thinking giving it up may speed up the progress .

    I am going to make the effort to get to the gym and work out at least 1 hour 3 times a week this month! Also try to keep my carbs under 20 nets carbs a day, but not to fear fiber carbs because I've noticed my body isn't happy with it!

    Yay! Giving up cigarettes is SO HARD! But you've got this, and you will thank yourself pretty quickly when you suddenly find yourself able to breathe clearly, exert yourself without panting, and actually smell and taste things again. :smiley:

    Okay, so I added another--prompted by @AngInCanada I am doing the 30-Day High Intensity Interval Training Challenge posted here on MFP. One day down, 29 to go (I haven't done today's yet)! This is going from absolutely no physical activity whatsoever aside from walking up the stairs to my second-floor apartment with a toddler and a preschooler in my arms. :)

    Hello all new to the group. Not sure how to do low carbs. But definitely need to lower my carb in-take.

    I'm out. My original statement this year was to stay challenge free as I tend to obsess about results rather than health. Again, this has proven true. The very goals I've set and started achieving easily for about 2 weeks before starting this have become obsessive thoughts for me, making me more likely to binge and essentially "act a fool." So for my own safety, sanity, and health, I'm out of this challenge. Looking forward to seeing success from everyone else without broken wiring! LOL

    I'm going to not eat things that make me sick. Crazy talk, I know.

    My goal is to get my 3 workouts in a week. It's so rewarding when I do it and so easy once I get in the habit.

    I'm working towards the Atkin's Induction phase. I'm having difficulties staying on it. I also am trying to do 10k steps.

    Thank you for starting the thread.

    Nice! My dog and I are always happy to get in our 10K+/day. :)

    I sold something on eBay this week. I need to list more. I find that ebay requires as much momentum as diet and exercise. They are all habits that need to be sustained.

    I think I've completely failed at this point. I've walked the dogs twice. It's poured every afternoon, after work, and the end of the school year took a lot out of me. It's exhausting. Oh well. I'll walk them most days.

    I think I am going to do no dairy for the rest of the month. I've had cheese or other dairy every day everyday this month and I am up a kg on the scale. Now, I expect that. But, I am also a little congested today. And, I suspect it's related. So, goodbye dairy. Let's see how long I can last on this. It probably will be less than 72 hours. I am a sucker for dairy.

    Congrats! I haven't found the courage to quit smoking yet. I do want to quit, but today is not the day.

    Returning the low carb non animal sources to my life has not been comfortable. I am losing a lot of the benefits I was seeing last month during meativore May, including the fact that I appear to be on the mosquito radar again. Going to go back to what I had been doing in April before meativore May was in effect: mostly don't eat veggies or nut products, unless I really really want them.

    I will say though, that almond butter saved my butt on Friday. So I'll probably carry the packets of Justin's in my purse for emergencies.

    June 8 update: goal was to keep carbs under 20gr. (started May 22=18 days)
    Results: my carbs are well under 15 gr. which help with my carb cravings --nada!!!! My insatiable appetite however brought me over my TDEE. I still end up losing water weight and hopefully my appetite should level out this week. I reintroduced weight training and as expected my strength sucked. I am not fat adapted yet and will continue to keep my sessions short. So far I am pleased with my results and will keto on !!!

    Just meat June for me.

    June 1 - 96.8 / 212.96 lbs
    June 8 - 93.9 / 206.58 lbs

    So far, so good ! I have noticed that I feel fuller just eating meat, eggs, butter, and a bit of cheese for flavour only, and a wee bit of coconut oil in my coffee. I'll see if I keep that, not sure yet. I had egg muffins with bacon, ham and cheese for breakfast, and slabs of roast beef with butter and drippings for supper and I ate it all with my hands....that made it more enjoyable !

    Just meat May was hit or miss in terms of weight loss. Pretty much stayed the same weight all month. So far this month I have avoided diet sodas and I've upped my fat intake and decreased protein. Now the weight is coming off finally. New lowest weight today.
