I am not off to a great start. I think my higher blood glucose readings have scared me straight though. The last few days have bee very good, so I'm again moving in the right direction with you all.

Glad you're moving in the right direction! How was your day today?

SW 213
CW 206.6
been on Keto for about a month. I like it and trying to settle in on what is working for me. Sunday I started IF 16/8 with Keto, which started things moving and I feel will work for me.

This month is flying by! I did good last week, but this weekend (yesterday mainly) I had a few too many calories and carbs. My fiance's 30th birthday was yesterday, and he wanted french toast for breakfast which I made and consumed. We also had a surprise birthday party for him last night, and I made a chocolate pound cake that I also had a slice of. Between those two things, I had about 150g carbs yesterday which is double my goal.
I was also sick a couple days last week and felt like poo so I didn't work out Thursday or Friday. I also didn't workout yesterday.
Shockingly I weighed the same this morning as I did Saturday and Sunday morning so I guess we can mark it down as an official loss!
Here's to a new week!

SW: 260 on 3/24/16
CW: 223.8 on 7/11/16 (-2.2 pounds this month)
GW: 180ish

Goals for the month
-Nutrition: Carbs <75g total daily, Fat >80g
-Exercise: 5 days of 30-45 minutes cardio plus 2 days of strength training
-Weight: goal for the month=get out of the 220's!!!

I had a great week exercise wise. I did more last week than I did the entire year last year. I ate within my ranges, figured out the hard way I need to up my sodium levels when exercising this much and gained a little. I usually do when I start exercising this much. No worries! On to a great week!

I forget to checkin on the weekends too. Went out with girlfriends last night and there's always a lot of alcohol involved. Made sure to keep the eating under control though.

Calories - under
Carbs - under for the most part
water - under - don't do as well at home as I do at work
exercise - not on the weekends
logging - yes

SW-295,CW-274,GW-180. I have lost 22lbs the in 6 weeks, I only weigh every other friday at my local clinic. I was a little disappointed at my last weigh in, only lost 4lbs but i been home alot and work has been slow. I should probly get off my butt and spend less time on here.

I wouldn't be disappointed losing 4 pounds in 2 weeks. I haven't lost 4 pounds in 6 weeks! I have lost like 2 pounds total. I didn't even have the initial water loss like most people. But, I do have some NSV in that I am losing inches (well, more like 1/4 & 1/2 inches) and I feel better!

The past couple of days have been going well. I have managed to stay on target.
Logged -yep
Water-yep
Carbs-yep still keeping them under 25 for the most part....occasionally go over to 30
Calories-yep, except for one day I was like 40 over
Exercise-yep
Electrolytes- better. I got some bouillon cubes and that is helping
I have been doing this for 6 weeks. I believe I am keto adapted (never bought the keto strips, cuz the store was out of them) I do feel a lot less hungry overall, although I still have some days that I'm hungrier.

Stayed on track yesterday in spite of wanting to eat the world for no good reason!Started a Fat Fast for the next 3 days. Here's a link if you're curious. http://ketodietapp.com/Blog/post/2014/08/14/Complete-Guide-to-Fat-Fast
Just have to work on moving my butt a bit more

Interesting! Let me know how it goes.

Though what's driving me kinda crazy is I remember someone posting some research on here that showed fasting is bad for people with certain diagnosis or symptoms and I totally can't remember what. I just remember thinking it applied to me and "Good to know! Guess I shouldn't fast then!" but I haven't been able to figure out what it was and I don't remember if it was something that applied only temporarily or long-term.

Day 13

Logging

well after an awful day of binging yesterday I am totally back on track again today - was much easier to get back on track than usual - think I learnt some important lessons yesterday - although things may look good, they just don't do me any good at all. Have some pain and discomfort back today, my body is not feeling happy at all, so need to keep on track and eat only the foods that make me feel good - I may start to see if there are any things I can add back in at some point but for now, just sticking to Meat, Fish, Cheese and water - I may allow myself a small amount of heavy cream too, as that seemed to keep me satisfied without any problems

Still plugging along with my Keto/Low-Iodine diet. (I will resume logging when done with Low-Iodine chore.) I have been feeling kinda weak the last few days. Making sure to drink lots of liquids, but definitely not enough sodium intake. In great need of some Magnesium and Potassium too! My Radioiodine ablation is today, received shots of Thyrogen the last two days. A little worried of the impact this stuff will have on my body (health-wise): however, quite impressed with its ability to recover from trauma quickly. I have a strong gut feeling a positive mind set plays a powerful roll in that too. All in all I believe my goals for this week were pretty good...

Carbs: almost non-existent
Fats: high
Protein: low --> due to low-iodine
Sodium: could do better...
Water intake: very good
Exercise: still waiting (house completely in disarray- drywall work, painting, and new carpet... craziness!)

For 7/13
Vitamins - yes
Increased water - yes
Carbs<80 - yes
Cal<1500 - yes
Activity - Elliptical 30 min

Felt great all around!
