Meticulous May?

If possible I would like to jump in. I made the terrible mistake of completely falling of the wagon and what a surprise. My eating was out of control. Since I was exercising I didn't do too much damage. But I realized that my body feels better with this lifestyle.
I am committing to logging my food and staying under my carbs. I read through all the posts and I could relate with a lot of you.

With ya @ChoiceNotChance. Calories absolutely count for me. I have yet to experience the "forget to eat"- on this plan or at any other time in my life
I don't get that starving hungry like I used to and I don't crave carbs but I do get hungry near lunch and supper and can eat little too much at meal time. 3 -
I weighed in today and another lb gone3

Urgh, it's been a bad couple of days....my own fault really0

I'm late to the party, but I've logged in every day except May 1 so far. Logging everything every day has been a challenge for me (and my login streak mileage varies), so *here's to being consistent* Glad I found this group! 2

Doing rather well so far today. Had a not- too- bad extra meal very late last night, but wasn't too far off plan. Feel fine today but no weight loss. No more keto flu!
Prelogged, watching carb creep, keeping busy...making appointments for health check ups. Trying to relax and pace myself during this next month.2 -
Day 5 done.
Let's all ignore the quest bar (it was my last one, I swear they're all gone now). But good day other than that. Gym was good, looking forward to tomorrow's session too
Keep it up all!3 -
I am a recovering Quest bar addict @StephieWillcox. 42 days clean. Still have some lingering in my cupboards. Stay strong!3

I think they do not agree with me because no joke I look 6 months pregnant right now.
Brush myself off and try again tomorrow. Bar the Atkins bar my day was good, tomorrow is a gym day (yay it's deadlift day) and hopefully my bloat will have gone down overnight
I can't eat those either! And yes, the bloat can be crazy!1 -

Made a bpc for breckie and chose fish for lunch out. Scraped off batter and gave the fries to the chippie monster. I even left 3/4 of the second piece of fish as I was not hungry, despite small size of fish. Happy body. Cycled back home. Eliptical trainer after that.
Then..
Vanilla powder shake with unsweetened almond milk, I love your texture n flavour and hate your impact on my body. Sneeze sneeze headache. Thought that would be ok. Learning.
Dinner was my own creation for meatless may: add courgette, celery and bimi (a wild looking broccoli) to coconut oil in pan, sprinkle with tumeric, fry, add coconut milk wait to bubble sprinkle in whisked egg. Yum. No histamines and no meat. Happy.

8.4lb to goal. Ish.
Let's see how long that takes to go down again.
I have the rest of today logged even though we are leaving fo the campground at 4:30. It SNOWED there yesterday (it's a 30min drive from our little mtn to the big one's campground). It will melt today. But the ground is going to be wet and my Littles will be mud-balls with feet. Le sigh.....
Anyway, tangent aside, I won't be logging this weekend as the wifi is spotty at best, but I will do the best I can to eyeball the carbs and stay on-plan there.
I have lots of washing and cutting of veggies and grapes (for the monkeys), boiling eggs, and packing of 6 people to get done. But of course I'm getting my forum rounds done. Priorities!

6th May here, I find the daily commitment to logging very useful, sometimes I think I've barely eaten- til I log, then others, I realise I just have not had enough nutrition.
I'm lucky in some ways because I almost never feel hungry. Hungry in the belly, I more notice my energy, clarity of mind or mood drop ever so slightly. It happens so quickly.0 -

Exercise - plan on running tonight.
After 4 weeks at the same weight, +/- .6, this morning I weighed in for the week and 2 pounds gone! I hope it's not a fluke.
It's funny, I'm in a weigh-in group every week with some co-workers. Some folks fluctuate +/- up to 4 pounds either way weekly.
I seem to be consistently around the mean every week with small incremental changes each week. I do eat about the same meals every day and
consistent in my routine. I seldom have a binge. This week is newsworthy. Yea.5 -
You have given me hope @slimzandra. The scale has been struck for the last 2 weeks. Frustrated because I am following the rules. Who invented scales anyway?0
-
Yesterday went well. Stayed within carb limits, got enough fat, and not too much protein. Quite a lot of sodium, but I don't seem to have retained water (same weight this morning as yesterday morning).0
-
I'm having trouble with losing. I finally dropped .6 pounds.0
-
I'm terrible... I was going to go run Wed. because I was too sore from Mon. to lift. But that didn't happen. Then I was going to lift weights last night, and that didn't happen.
I think I might need to abandon my weight lifting plans anyway because I'm trying to get ready to move next month (hopefully).0
