I've maintained my goals of 20gm carbs, 1600 calories. I've been able to get enough sodium in and haven't had any leg cramps since waking on the first. Using the salt tablets and take them throughout the day. I'm knocking on wood too. Those leg cramps can be bad enough to make the muscle sore for a few days!
I have been logging my food, just don't always post it.
Keep it up! We can all succeed together!!

OK, I'm so in!
Let's see...
CW: 159.2 (11/02/15)
GW: 155 (by 1/01/16)
November Goals:- Review basics and get back to following more carefully
- 10,000 steps per day (work days); 5,000 steps per day (weekend)
- Keep at around 40 net carbs per day
- Log Food Daily
- Additional exercise at least 3 times a week (yoga, weight lifting, biking)

I hope it's OK if I join! I've done various low-carb diets in the past; Dukan is what I've had most success with but since reading more research recently I'm doing more the LCHF direction. (I have PCOS and previously had prediabetes and high triglycerides, which I reversed on Dukan.) Trying what I guess is keto now.
Monthly Goals:
* Stay under 20gm net carbs daily (experimenting; might increase this is a bit)
* Hopefully lose at least 1lb/wk. Two would be great. I'd have to lose 8 to hit my Transformer DietBet goal for this month since I bombed month 2.
* Exercise at least 3x/wk and start incorporating more HIIT and strength training
* Run 5K Thanksgiving morning
Start weight:
150.6 as of 11/1
147.8 this morning0 -

That way you'd have on-plan things available sometimes for you when she falls through. Or you could batch cook things for her to warm up. Just an option. I'm unsure of how practical it will be in your situation, but I thought I'd offer it.
Thanks, this is a good idea, and one I haven't really considered yet even though I see others talk about it here regularly. Perhaps next Sunday I will take my laptop to the kitchen to stream the day's NFL games and cook for the week!I hope things get better for you soon. I know I'd feel the same if I lived with my parents. I love them, and they are lovely to visit, but they are just too cranky to live with.
Things will get better soon. The move is very close to set in stone. When I moved back here it was really what I needed at the time for myself, I was divorced and extremely unhappy in my job, in addition to wanting to help take care of dad so the family didn't have to consider a home for him. I'm really glad I did it, but really glad to move on too
Thanks!

At or Under Carb Level: 26/20g net
At or Under Calorie Limit: Over 100 cals by noon. Splurged on a big breakfast, skipped dinner
Planned Day Ahead: I think I've got today covered
I might try a Zumba class tonight. LOL. I've only done one group class since I started this and early on, so I wasn't able to keep up. Not to mention I always go left when everyone else is going right. At least I'll be moving.
Have an interview candidate coming in for lunch. That means I have to eat in the café. I brought my lunch and I feel uncomfortable eating in front of others. I'll probably just get a salad and dump my tuna on top. I'm on track for my 1 pound loss this week. Hoot. Have a great day.0 -

I feel you on the scale thing. My milestone was at 152. I'm currently at 153.8, no reason I can figure. Not doing anything different. Urgh. Whatever.
Congrats on the smaller clothes, btw.0 -
11/4:
Weight 275.1 (cautious goal to stay at or below 275 through the holidays)
Didn't cheat any yesterday (stress leading to lots of cheating lately, if I can't knock it out, at least work hard to limit it and don't let it get out of control)
Went to the gym yesterday (continue to exercise regularly no matter what happens with food)0 -
Count me in! My ultimate goal is to lose these 15 lbs that have been refusing to leave me for the past 2 years. With the holidays, I'll be happy to not gain. Thanksgiving is pretty easy. The turkey is a no-brainer. My MIL does make a mean stuffing, though. I'm sure I'll have a small taste. I usually make brussels sprouts gratin. I use pork rinds in place of bread crumbs on top. Yum. Probably a little mashed sweet potato, I'll make that with just butter and a little cream. I won't touch those sweet sticky things. Dessert? Maybe. I could always make a Keto pumkin cheesecake. My lack of progress for 2 years is really pissing me off. I don't know what else I can do. I'm going to drop my calories back down a little bit for a while and keep on ketoing.0

Just found this thread today. Count me in!
It's back to basics for me too -- I've been at a "stall" for the past two months, which I finally traced to two new foods that kicked me out of keto. Turns out it wasn't a stall after all, just a little carb creep. I cut them out last week, and now I'm losing again. So, my goals for November are:
1. Stay away from the sugar alcohol candies and those lightly breaded chicken tenders that I love so much. Just like all that junk food I used to indulge in, they may taste good but they are certainly not good to me.
2. Convict Conditioning calisthenics every other day.
3. Starting weight was 183.4 on 11/1; I want to get down to 174.6 by Thanksgiving, which will put me at an even 50 lbs lost since April 15.
4. Back to the basics- bouillon broth every morning, take my magnesium, avoid wheat, and stay under 30 carbs a day. The formula worked all these months, so I need to stop trying to find ways to cheat the rules.
So far so good. As of this morning I'm down 2 lbs!0 -
I'm in too
Start weight: 179
Water: 96 oz
Log food: shooting for 1300
Exercise: 30-60 minutes a day 6 days a week.
Carb level : trying to keep below 40
Weight loss : wanting to lose at least 10Lbs by Christmas

Week 1:
Survived Halloween - no slip ups
Birthday this week - no treats just usual keto plan
Goal for holidays is to lose down to desired weight. 7 more pounds.
Also to rework maintenence plan strategy, which was a fail in Sept and Oct.
Exercise goal is to increase daily activity and motion. Also to add vanity exercises for areas that need a little lifting and/or flexibility. No rigid, structured plans that I never follow anyway.
So far, all systems are go! Attitude is good, and I feel that success for this extended season is in the air. It doesn't have to be about food, cheats and treats.
It can be about fun, friends, dancing, decorating, crafts, dressing up and feeling all right!
