June 1st Daily Goals:- Log Daily

- > 75 g protein
- > 100 g fat
- >48 oz water
- Take supplements
- PT Core exercises
- 10+ min walk
Well... Got 5/8 on my first day (yesterday)... Wednesdays truly kick my butt and I was too sore to do my PT core exercises last night. No excuse for not taking my supplements (other than I forgot) and definitely no excuse for not drinking my water!
Hope today is better! How's everyone else doing?0 - Log Daily

OK, I'm in. I'm currently on "lock down" (thanks to whoever coined that phrase the other day) which mean, back to basics, no non-food items, consistent logging.

GW 125
Water- lots, every day. Never been a problem.
Exercise- eh, a little dodgy there- having some weird joint issues that keep me from doing a lot of things, but I'm doing what I can. Getting as many steps in as possible.0 -
Hello!
First, I am so sorry about the passing of your mom. My t & p's with you!
I started LC on 5/11 and so far dropped 10 lbs!
Low carb has been successful for me before. I lost 50 lbs in 2007. Since then i have had two children and developed Type 2 diabetes which i neglected for a long time. I am sick and tired of taking so many meds! With my boys being so young and being an older mom, I want to be as healthy as I can for them for as long as possible.
Here are my stats:
SW: 185
CW: 175
GW: in the 160's by end of June
Daily Goals
>30 Carbs
>Exercise 3x a week 45-60 minutes
>Bs Under 100 (currently under 120)

I'm late to the party, but this is such a cool idea!!
SW: 156.5
GW: 150
Goals:
80oz water/tea
Carbs (I don't count them because of how I structure my meals. So mainly, this is avoiding soda or having maybe 1 every other day or so).
Exercising 5x a week (not quite daily, but hey!)0 -
This will be my first monthly challenge as well. I've been following the low carb lifestyle for almost 3 months now and haven't felt this great in a long time! So far I'm down almost 27 pounds, but I do feel like I could use some extra motivation to get closer to my goals. I plan to check in once weekly.
SW: 260
CW: 233.4
GW: 180ish
Goals for the month:
Carbs less than 100g daily
No more than one drink weekly
Exercise 45 minutes 5x/week
GW for end of June: 225
Good luck to ya'll this month!2 -
SW: 153.6
CW: 134.6
Goal maintenance range: 129-132
Cals: Under (not done yet though)
Carbs: A bit over but I've had a lot of tummy troubles this week and some carbs might be helping. (?)
* Logged: Yep
* Stay under 100 gm carbs: Definitely, though above keto levels.
* Stay under maintenance calories: Way under
* Get back to maintenance goal range (weight trend is 135 right now; want to stay at 129-132): Working on it. Less today than yesterday!
* Exercise (if not a workout, get 10k steps in): Around 8k but my knee is hurting so I'm stopping here.
* Get enough sleep: Stayed up way too late last night.
* Keep sodium/electrolytes up: Yes2 -
6/2
Good job on keto today, keto breath is back and can almost feel my body readapting to fat burn. Very nice. Am cognizant of upcoming weekend challenges of which I will have a few. Hoping to ride my current wave of focus right threw til Monday!
Did not do much physical activity today. Thankfully the next two days will have built in dancing, so that will take care of that.
Hopefully I will be able to ride this wave down to my final goal weight while I'm getting busy with body recomposition.
Trying to build momentum on little successes, trying to really acknowledge the importance of this lifestyle to my well being.
Taking another bag of my nicer (and hence harder to let go)fat clothes to the donation bin tomorrow. Then I have only one bin left to sort and decide if worth altering or not. Then my clothes will be current. I've decided to keep a 2 size range, instead of the 7 size range that I've been yoyo-ing through for about 30 years now. Feels scary to let go, but I've decided it's in my own best interest to have faith in myself and my choices and my ability to make this lifestyle work long term.3 -

What a great mid-year monthly challenge!
6/3 SW: 295
6/10 GW: 293.5
Daily goals:
>120gm protein
50-70gm carb
Staying hydrated (water or IVF)
Exercise as able, core work daily
Pre-logging every morning
I'm still dealing with limitations in swallowing strength (but better with chewing !) , so the hydration will be my main focus this week. It's not easy for me to admit that I'm very dehydrated, but my doc encouraged me to call for IV fluids if I can't keep up orally. Guess I'll take him up on that if needed. I've let my goal of daily core work slip, too, time to tighten up those habits!

DH is off today so my whole schedule is going to be disrupted.
I'm terribly irritable lately and I'm not sure what to do about it. But the kids are being very unhelpful. Not doing their chores. Momma's going to put the hammer down soon. I'm NOT a clean-freak by any stretch of the imagination, but the mess is killing my soul. And I'm quite close to grabbing a trash bag and a whip and going on a rampage. My 5-year-old is like a herd of Tazmanian Devils (the cartoon one). I love the child...I love the child...I love the child....OOOOOOOOOMMMMMM...

Drank a ton of water yesterday and dropped a pound of water weight overnight. Logged everything, but didn't reach my step goal. Rain and 3 hour round trip picking up kids at camp prevented that. Now I am working on today! Already half way to my water goal!0 -

This week's goal weight was 235 and I changed it to 233. Dance happy to report only one more pound to go. I'm going to give credit where credit is due. I found the book and website for Never Binge Again. His approach is self hypnosis type thinking and learning that a binge is even a single bite that isn't in one's food plan. That plus this group is all the motivation and encouragement one person needs. Lovin' this big time!

A little late, but like others this is great timing for me! I have been LCHF since 3/7/2016 and have lost 30lbs so far - However, I have had a few ups and downs already (lost my grandmother last month (sorry to hear of your loss as well @baconslave) and was on vacation last week (which included vacation from my diet as well)). This should be a good challenge to get me fully back on track. So, here goes:

@baconslave sorry for your loss. I love your meditative smiley. MFP deletes text after any emoticon when I enter on my phone. Good luck getting through the mess. Maybe kids handle grief by losing control and you handle it by gaining control?? Ohmmmmm indeed.0

I'm terrible at meal planning, especially lunches for work, so my goal is to plan and/or batch cook so I'm not googling for low carb fast food every day (which will also save $$) or just giving up for the day (which defeats the point of trying to lose weight).

Saturday and no rain is predicted. Perfect day for me to add a bit of exercise. Today I will walk at least 7k steps and do at least 10 minutes of focused weight lifting. I've decided to move my weights and exercise mat to my covered front porch. That should make it more enticing to get 'er done.0

Thank you.
I posted that smiley on the site. The app is really hard to use for posting. I do it if something comes up in here. But mostly I use the app to track and to skim the threads later in the day check to make everything is on the up and up.

Gotta run out to pick up a paper to save it for dad. It has mom's obit. A simple thing like that is going to turn into a 15-20 min car ride. Maybe longer. #RuralLivingProblem. I don't usually buy a paper, so I don't pay attention to what gas stations or groceries sell them anymore.
Saturday is only counting carbs day. I got behind on workouts this week due to the camping trip, so I've got strength training to do today. Core. It's going to be brutal. The house is soooo... They are doing their chores today. Or else. If I have to do it, privileges be going away. My dad is coming to visit briefly on the 13th which is immediately after a camping trip. This is ridiculous. It's hard since we've been so busy. Then the whole thing with mom, the rush 36hr trip, and me just losing all my give-a-damn. And we school year-round so we've got that to do. I may just have to say, ok we're going to be behind in the schoolwork and have to catch up later.
Homeschooling is wonderful and a PITA at the same time.
They're going to all make me crazy! Ok, ok. MORE crazy.
